gg name lol 😁👌🏼

I could care less if I win barbs my favorite regardless They have never been the top char but I’m not going to ban everyone who beats me bc I spent to much $ to lose 😂😂😂😂

I do not think it's accurate to say that wolf druids cannot be countered whatsoever

I think it's more fair to say that old school GM melee players have a certain way of playing that is very ingrained and hard wired into their brain at this point. And some may not be willing to switch it up to counter new builds/characters. I think it's a little demoralizing and not great but it's not my business as long as there's a ladder allowed where all melee types can join in. Otherwise it seems very much like certain builds are being banned arbitrarily, sets up a precendent where you can now limit the types of melee players you encounter on a whim, and overtime it becomes less and less of a melee ladder and more centered around the dominant build (zeal). Just my thoughts. You can't ban fury druids, it's not right...

Wolf druids have always been niche in melee circles because it's been too hard to make them competitive. You at the minimum needed a crazy rare weapon with 2 sockets 40 ias high ED fools etc and those were not easily accessible for most of LoD. The same second that they become viable and on par with others, they get banned. 2.4 just got released it's not fair to say that they are literally un-counterable this early

Agree, as for your discord idea yes we should

Ya I'm down for a discord as well. Like Gt, I pretty much only played fury druids and never cared much if I won or lost. I'm glad that there are separate ladders now where we can preserve inclusivity. I've spent too much energy over the last week arguing about this and ready to move on. Balance will get figured out eventually.

Anyway, gds boys let's gooo

You know what time it is!?
