calling invisible crap on nec is as close to blasphemy as you can get on diablo2 :D
i've never played libby, i don't know how much of an issue namelock bonewalls are compared to other walls - but i do know that hammerdin was not allowed to passive charge with meditation and vigor in any other league (or gm duel, whatever you want to call it) in europe.
i don't mind playing necro without using nl-bws, i agree that they are not essential and i also previously stated that i think necro can play with 2 walls instead of 3.
if we start 'not wanting to see' certain things in certain match-ups, i would argue that there are other issues far more pressing than this. i mentioned them numerous times before: shadow vs sorc/druid, unlimited pets vs ama/nec, lf/lb vs trap (and barb/melee druid), es on blizz/fw vs nec.
in my opinion it's reasonable not to use these, but opinions differ. that is why we have rules.
there are already a number of match-up specific rules (like for example 0%dr vs barb/melee druid on ama & libby) so why don't we include others that are requested?
either we don't want rules for any matchups, or include all necessary (inlcuding the nlbw for all i care).
half measures like 'i don't want to see' i'm not a fan of - either take a stand or don't.
Not allowing vigor or medi on charge and no tele = no such thing as a libby. You don't have to tell me you haven't played a libby before, I can work that out from that sentence alone
Inis is a good nec player but what I mean is, he is that good he shouldnt have used nl bw, this is pretty much like bone prison. The libby is a sitting duck.
Yes I agree with your arguement and examples. Going back onto this libby/nec. Have you ever been in a pub using a bowie vs a nec and the nec uses Dec curse and bone prison? This nl bw thing is worse
but I feel like that is a good example. Because one you charge a bone wall, you are in slow motion and trapped without tele.
I must admit though I completely agree with alexs last statement regarding half measures. The argument for that would be, who has the knowledge and time at this stage in the game to compile all these rules.
