can confirm you've never dueled at a high level, especially nvt

faster casting class with more range let someone rep to full. Sin is supposed to chase because IBS will hit you if you don't. Sin / necro is a lot of fun until the necro decides to 3x teleport away and use teeth / IBS for two hours. You can c/t tele as sin but the necro still has faster cast frames with their c/t tele.

And if the sin's 174 ?_?

Eat teeth / spear with no clawblock and instalose

Sarcasm @@

haha fair enough

The great thing we saw yesterday was duels on a tiny map which mitigated somewhatalot of the above (i accept there are historic different cultures with regards to repling life and approach to certain matchups)

I really think can fix most by cutting the moor in half. Most maps kinda have that first wall / barrier and if you stay within that for 1v1s everything keeps a normal/fun pace. Once someone starts running to the second half of the map expecting you to chase to CP and back, strap in for 45-60+ minutes.

If you run so far that flavie pop on your radar, thats a 1k fg penalty! [/jokes/]

All I hear is kids who can’t NL crying

Gonna give some input for the n00bs here:

How I think nvt should be played: The sin should constantly be chasing the necro while the necro should play a smart mix of defense and offense that allows the sin to maintain aggressive pressure.

The problem in my duel vs hiep that made the set last hours was that the necro had 0 intention on doing any offensive play at all. His whole strategy was to stay off my screen and spam ibs/teeth until I die of random projectiles. In that case, if you expect the sin to be chasing the necro 24/7 (even if sin is 1 spear from death and the necro is full life) it's a free win ticket for the necro because the sin will eventually die to poke and the necro will always be able to escape and stay off screen due to good fhr/fcr frames.

I know it's a hard one to mediate but instead of sending us to burial grounds (KEKW) the meds should have been more severe when a player doesn't show any sign of offensive play and stay off screen.

If you want to see a proper way to play Necro in nvt MU you can go watch both my 3-0 sets vs Bui in the last Coooley's tourney. You will see a great use of defensive Spirit/Teeth but also opportunistic aggression with Spears/Stomp/Chase when the sin is vulnerable.
