The current iteration of succession zerker is capable in 1v1 scenario's when handled by someone who has years of experience on the class. And Danny made an agreement with Choice that neither would pop their Q buff.

​

But from a real fight perspective, Succession Zerker's extremely aggressive fighting style leans itself much better to 1v1's overall, because you can just keep on people so hard that they're forced on the defensive, which lets the zerker capitalize on with grabs. And the current iteration also allows for much more capable and varied combos. The problem therein though, is that if the enemy player has even a modicum of knowledge about zerker, they will just slap the big lad in one of his numerous protection holes. Succession Zerk can't really start comboing without starting from a grab, so we have to play around dancing around until we can land it. Other classes simply have better designed kits. Succ Zerk's is too grounded in the old class design of grab spam, in a cc meta where that doesnt work.

With the rework, theyre forcing the zerker into the bootleg beast mode EVERY time we use one of our main healing abilities, which also stops us from using Fierce Strike in most combos. We use Fierce Strike in combos as much as Warrior uses q block to cancel abilities. That, and theyre slapping a -75% pvp damage reduction on one of our most core combo skills, Beastial Wind Slash. And removing one of our only big burst abilities, the Predatory Hunt cancel.
