Make the game good and playable

Woah that's a bold wish

I think the point he and others that argue against this are making is that teleport adds an element of skill to the game that didn't exist pre-enigma.

Without teleport, all the skill and strategy that goes into namelocking, chainlocking, etc. disappears. High mobility makes for fast paced PvP, which means fast decisions need to be made, you need to be mechanically skilled to be good, and the overall skill ceiling is increased.

The only reason I could see someone wanting teleport to have a CD is because they're less mechanically skilled and feel 'overwhelmed' by the fast pacing of D2 PvP. Which is a horrendous reason to change something. We've all seen what 'balancing' games around the 'casual' does, especially concerning PvP - it kills them.

I have yet to see a reasonable, logical argument that supports why adding a cooldown to teleport would be a positive thing for the game.

Yea I don’t think I’d want a cooldown, but I’d like to see the game without tele or nerfed tele and see how builds change around it. Could be interesting but overall idk. I never got to play pre runewords so 🤷‍♂️

This

i want wsg

official pvp realm or the return of open b.net

I paid the guy who asked earlier not attention because he proved he's a troll.

But honestly, I don't think it takes more skill with tele... actually believe its the opposite. Timing becomes more important... with say a 2 or 3 second cooldown, people can't just teleport away and now have to take their positioning into play instead of just teleling 3+ screens away. Maybe they gotta knock down some of the damage to add some tankiness to their build. Duels wouldn't be nearly as long due being less able to play defensively, which from what I'm seeing is a big thing currently.

Also a cooldown on teleport would require some other changes, but I think it would also bring more people into dueling... because honestly, enigma for most classes is a requirement and the majority of the community can't afford it... more fresh faces, every duel game i go into... i see mostly the same people.

a cd on tele removes any skill involved with CT tele, dumbs pvp down.

chain locking and telestomping is unnecessary, more dumbed down pvp.

fcr becomes pointless for a lot of classes now that they only teleport once and makes building their character a lot easier compared to a caster

frw suddenly becomes so much more important and a lot of classes can no longer chase down others = less build variety

There's more. The idea doesn't work- it's a thing already in PoD the pvp there sucks ass.

Fair enough, don't agree or see how it "dumbs" down pvp when the game is already insanely simple... I feel it adds an actual thought process, adds the requirement of positioning. Telestomping can still be done and be extremely effective.

I've also never played PoD.
