It's basically the same thing now but instead of GF it's Grief+Enigma

But I wasn't speaking about pub duel games. I was talking about actual tournaments or private duel games. Pub duel games have always and will always be a shit show.

The last tournament I watched was an assassin dueling a necro, they were both just spamming teleport and spells(traps for the assassin). The assassin took a couple hits and was almost dead but then "strategically" teleported long enough for their +life rep to bring them back to full health and then ended up winning the duel after what seemed like a week. And the people commentating on the duel were saying how skillful it was.

D2R didn’t help but the game itself is 21 years old , some people had their fun and moved on lol , it sucks but it can’t last forever , enjoy it while you can


Also pvp wise the east/Europe/west servers have been fucked ever since they fucked up tri ww/wsg



That only lasted like 6 months in 2018’ish

But yeah its broken again on d2r

What killed the game was 2 things really

There was a big ban wave first up, that banned everyone that was using a way of loading up 2 copy's of d2, which had been used for over a decade safely at that point. So, like 300k accounts from legit players got banned.

Then there was a patch that fucked up hit recovery and made dueling really annoying.

By this point, around 90% of the "lifer" player base had quit.

d2r was just the nail in the coffin. I think I almost threw up when I saved and exited for the first time and saw the new battle.net interface. Disgusting.

Edit: the experience may be different if you are not from Europe I guess. This is my perspective.


There was a patch that messed up fhr on regular d2?

Enigma FIXED PvP? In duel games all you see is people teleporting and spamming skills until someone gets 1 shotted. That's what you call fixed? In 1.09 things were much more balanced(except for amazons) where Sorcs would be able to teleport around and spam spells, but the damage was low enough that if they made a mistake, they would get hit and die. That and they didn't have infinite mana.

I used to love hanging out in duel games and watch people duel. Ever since 1.10 hit, I couldn't do it anymore. It's just teleporting back and forth and around until someone hits.


Do you realize it's not random teleporting and spamming? Gl doing that vs a seasoned player. Us pros at pvp understand the mechanics to a T and can teleport in a hammerdin blind spot every time without effort. I can chainlock you to the underground passage with out 1 mis step. You just have to dig into the mechanics and you basically can see the matrix

yep not only did it flop hard it also killed its predecessor



i disagree
if D2R was a fun game it would be well populated on all servers & versions
unfortunately the game sucks so hardly anyone plays it
but yeah having a small population of players spread too thin across separate servers made it even worse
i think they expected it to be alot more popular than its turned out to be
also toxic users are what made D2 fun.. now everything gets censored and you cant even talk shit anyway
D2r is basically D2 without a soul


perhaps i missed something - how does d2r suck so badly? I thought people don't play it now cause everyone is waiting for ladder.

Fine, it's strategic spamming and taking advantage of class flaws to lock your opponent so you can strike a killing blow. What ever it is, it's boring to watch a 15 minute match for someone to be 1 shot.

No idea where your getting this "One shot" from, nobody truly gets one shotted unless they are undergeared /Low level, Bad etc.

Only one hit K.O I recall is back when hexs/iths/bugged items were rampent. Which ironically occured during the fabled 1.09v

Just looking at Youtube with a simple Diablo 2 PvP tournament, you can see it. Someone gets hit once, it's usually about half their life and they run around/teleport until their life regens back or an assassin that just teleports around and casts traps from 2 screens away. There's no real mechanics in it, it's just exploiting the game.

Iths, hexes, bugged or any other hacked items were banned from duels. Just like they are or at least should be in today's.
