Thread: Patch 7.5 Discussion Thread

As a middling solo queue player, I am finding my matches are actually really close for the most part, which is making them a lot more fun. It is making me wonder, though, whether the changes are lessening the gap between the higher skill players and the rest of us, and whether that was the idea.

Matches are now even more one sided than ever before. Before the patch, PvP-centric players knew that building BH at the beginning of the match gives the highest chance of winning, the BH change makes it even more-so. The team that pushes for early aggression (usually due to having more knowledgeable PvP players) get to run away with the match. If you're not on the stacked team, it is impossible to target those high priority targets due to their entire team having BH5, and it's even harder to quickly spot them amongst the sea of BH5s, so you can't even focus target and knock down those high priority target's BH anymore, so they're always going full bore throughout the entire match.

All the trash crybabies that complained about BH, has made Frontlines significantly worse as a result, and the funny part is, even with the change, they still can't even manage to make it to BH5 before the end of the match.

Hopefully sooner, rather than later. Current BH system has made playing solo tank/melee even worse and frustrating.

Went from being able to engage with rampage/full swing on tank jobs, to rampart being a requirement.
