There exist many BvB's without enigmas, who duel *purely* bvb, and bvc's cant even scrape them. No matter what you say, they exist. The people who tweak out for nothing but whirlwind vs whirlwind and avoid other duels. And my oh my, they just looooove picking on runty little bvc's. So yeah, they can dick around and walk at a snails pace while I chuck axes at them, but without teleport, they have no chance.
Yes. And thats the one duel where I'd actually prefer widowmaker over lacerator, to be honest. The axes still have a million times the damage output of widowmaker if I get lucky, but widowmaker is preferable in BvC vs BvB. I've even thought about keeping one as a backup for them, but its a 3x2 stash slot for a single duel matchup, so I dunno if its worth the effort to switch it out. But yes I'd say widow > lacerators for bvb. But for all other duels, the axes are obviously 10x better.
So uh, I thought you were actually decent at bvb or bvc up until this point, where you revealed yourself to be a doofus. Seriously man, namelock whirlwind? You joking? The second a barb namelock whirlwinds you, you teleport 3 screens away until they are off your minimap for 3 seconds, and teleport right on back. The only way namelock whirlwind is going to kill you is you stop teleporting and let them desync. And considering how ridiculously easy it is to break it (just teleport 3 screens and back, and they can't do shit because they are stuck whirlwinding), its not going to do anything
Do you really duel people so retarded they don't break your namelocks when you namelock them? Namelock whirlwind is the most obvious thing ever. The second you click on someone, they'll instantly know you've namelocked them, because of how whirlwind has a different pathing for point/click vs namelock, and if they are smart, they'll just teleport away to break it, and then what? You're left desynced on your own computer so hard that you don't even know what part of the blood moor you're in.
so you are really trying to tell me that you are spamming your lacerators from 2-3 screens away??!? Since most bvb barbs are full strbugged anyway, and there is NO chance to see if a barb namelocked you or not WITHIN that second when you are on screen - they will hit you before you even know what happened due to the desynched ww. Dont forget that that would be the only chance for the stupid ones who dont have enigma in stash ( I personally dont know a single bvb without enigma in stash) to do anything vs a bvc...
The chance that their ww will hit you before you were able to land a hit on them with lacerators is bigger, whatsoever
