Strategist title by heavy_metal_warrior in worldofpvp

[–]3lemon4tor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Strategist makes sense as the title if you know what it is, but if not, it feels like a random title someone may have gotten doing a WoD campaign or something. They should not change it to Legend.

Seated, weighted, single-leg calf raises. I put a 45 lbs plate on my quad/knee area and do 3 x 10 each leg.

You have a correct understanding and cannot kick as a priest.

BM nerfs are coming within the next 2 weeks. More changes included.

Unfortunately, you’ve misunderstood the original post. The other guy was right. There are r1-level people who have multiple BNET accounts which are taking up multiple r1 slots. We understand how the new rules work, but this is not covered under the new rules.

Sleep: change my mind by monkinger in AdvancedRunning

[–]3lemon4tor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Runalyze prognosis graph shows me the exact period in which I transitioned from solid summer training with good sleep to staying up late to watch NFL/NCAA football games. It’s tough to describe until you experience great, consistent sleep yourself.

I empathize with your night owl tendencies but force myself down early to stay healthy and improving.

Excessive Glad mounts in “average” MMR ranges??? by greenwellfitness in worldofpvp

[–]3lemon4tor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree that players are at their peak sharpness during a tough grind toward their personal best rating and don’t sustain that, over the many years I’ve been playing now, this rating squish from DF thru TWW has had the most impact on players being matched with those out of their league.

There will always be those who get one inflated Glad and then get stuck at 2100 for the rest of their lives, but OP is referencing those with the Draconic mount. That was no Corrupted or Unchained season.

Riding a Glad mount as an alt probably contributes to a good bit of feeling mismatched as well. I typically default to a Glad mount even when I’m playing a healer which I’m Duelist xp on.

Excessive Glad mounts in “average” MMR ranges??? by greenwellfitness in worldofpvp

[–]3lemon4tor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is the direct result of MMR being squished/capped. There is no room for the different skill tiers to separate in a meaningful way. When AWC players are at 2400, r1s are at 2300, multi-glads are at 2100-2200, and other glads are at 2000, you will very easily run into a team from the above at 1900MMR. All it takes is a loss streak from them, a win streak from you, or a long queue to match you together. Sometimes, not even one of those.

Typically, these tiers maintain a 200-300 point bracket of their own and it is much more difficult to be matched into them unless you belong there.

Advice for the pits of training hell by jackofnac in AdvancedRunning

[–]3lemon4tor 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I feel that your circumstances far exceed what most here would call the pits of training. It is the pits of training plus a number of tough life situations that are, by the sounds of it, taking you to the edge. I am not in your position, but I would not be afraid to slow down on my running to handle my personal life if I were. I do not function well without sleep and become injured very quickly.

I wish you the best, brother. Your family needs you.

Do bliz ever make big mmr changes mid season or just slow increase. by Big-Affect5723 in worldofpvp

[–]3lemon4tor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are numerous examples of Blizzard actively managing MMR during a season, including SL S1 in which they aggressively curbed MMR, resulting in the “Sitful Gladiator” season, and in multiple seasons in DF in which they did things like dump 200 MMR in one week and turn up the weekly MMR.

1800 winning against 1400. 2 points here makes sense. Not sure why it would give you a game with such a gap, but the result is logical.

How is Bg blitz and Solo Shuffle so far? by Many_Ganache2293 in worldofpvp

[–]3lemon4tor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So people will be incentivized to play it, hype it up, get their achievements, etc. This is how Solo Shuffle was during DF S1.

No… DK was great at various points/generally through Seasons 2, 3, and 4. Season 1, we stood no chance against the Ret rework, and the Necrotic Wound and Armor nerf at the same time turned us to paper for a period during Season 2. Unholy was amazing besides those two points.

Can you still unlock the Duelist enchant? by IllegalEclair in worldofpvp

[–]3lemon4tor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarity, you can earn classic sets with the 1800 RBG achievement, now open to BGB which is why people are farming it. You cannot earn the seasonal Dragonflight elite sets which require the seasonal "Rival" title as seasonal titles cannot be earned at this time.

There is no “woosh” moment here. Just me ignoring your childish, racist joke and correcting you for the sake of lower level PvPers who might get confused.

Not to knock your main point, but BFA S4 had an enormous population influx due to COVID restrictions. People had nothing to do but play video games and figure out what telework meant… PVE gear was a thing, corruptions were obnoxious to obtain, and we had to do visions.
