So for top 3 do you need to be in a top 3 spot with 200 wins or is it given to the top 3 players with 200 wins. Because if it's not given to top 3 with 200 wins that basically just defeats the whole purpose of a win requirement as people can hold top 3 spots with around 30 wins and take it away from people who grinded 200+ wins. Most of the community seemed under the impression that it was given to the top 3 players with 200 wins and this post is a little unclear so please clarify.

If they are labelled "Replica" so original's maintain their prestige what's the point of skipping season 3?? If you go this far to explain that original's maintain prestige there is literally no reason to not release it.

I've tried it and sure it does more damage but you sacrifice your basically 90% uptime on supercharged. I use it in cleave games but it basically makes CC impossible whereas with EC you don't need to spread to still do a lot of damage with. CC meta on DM basically demands that u don't spread on every target and with such a high AOE percentage in your rotation it can lose games. I assume if you use it selectively it could be good but I don't see giving up the extra single target dps viable in CC games.

what other tactical would u use?

I'm an IO main but arsenal is a lot more useful in ranked content than IO. For PVE I assume IO is better in some situations but this thread is mainly concerning arsenal. Arsenal doesn't need a nerf. For ranked there is a burst meta so IO gets thrown on the back burner as it has less controlled burst than Arsenal.

Honestly SF is bad I get it but on DM votekick isn't abused and its actually a vital tool as there have been several throwers. Not just bad players but actual throwers to manipulate the queue. After the bans DM has been a lot better but votekick is still needed. A reason for that would be this https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/wintrade-dm-solo-group.1624704/. I have yet to see anything come of it but votekicking allows us as players to regulate match manipulation. I would be totally okay with removing votekick during placements as I can imagine for new players it would be terrible to be votekicked during your first games. This would allow more experienced players to tell newer players how to improve rather than just kicking them.

I haven't been able to get on the PTS as it gives me an error everytime but I've heard that it's only baked into the IO tree and not the arsenal tree. IO needs a buff for pvp as there is no reason at this point to take it over arsenal but the way to "Buff" it is not by nerfing arsenal lmao. If I'm wrong please let me know

I've been playing Merc a lot this and last season and I can see that DPS Merc was pretty over tuned in 5.0. But in 6.0 I would argue Merc is the most balanced DPS right now with a viable Dot and Burst spec. Concentrated Fire gives Mercs the ability to dish out a medium amount of damage which is great. Mercenaries are performing well in PVP and PVE but not to the point where it is overpowered. Merc is also one of the only anti-stealth classes and by removing their decent damage you are in fact buffing the stealth classes even more. If you compare elo from mercenary to other classes, mercenaries are right in the middle of the pack (around 1600 highest). If you look at both Assassin's and Operative's their highest is right around 1800-1900. Mercenaries have the ability to survive and find people from stealth while being able to do damage. By nerfing this set Mercenary will not be seen nearly as much and will allow stealth classes to have even more power over ranked than before. I understand Merc healer is over tuned but taking the DPS down along with it seems quite stupid as Merc DPS is very balanced IMO. If you are looking for something to nerf about Merc healers look at taking away the 30% DR for AOE and Stuns from healers as it allows Merc healers to sit in cleave and be virtually unphased whereas Ops and Sorcs have to kite around outside of cleave.

What do you mean? As of now I'm the only person running it and organizing matches. We have been doing daily kickball to help newer pvpers learn GRanked and organizing some real games with teams. You should make a team.

We are organizing a Group Ranked PVP League League Information This league will be hosted on Star Forge but we will allow teams from all over the game to join. If interest grows I may expand into a league for EU and NA. As of now to participate you must join our discord and register your team. ANY SKILL LEVEL IS ACCEPTED. If you are worried that you are not experienced enough this is a great time to learn how to play well. If there are enough registrations we will attempt to do skill brackets. How Do I Join? Joining is very simple, follow these steps and you'll be registered in no time. Join Our Discord Select Your Roles From The "React to see channels" Channel Fill out the registration for your team if you have one If you don't have a team register in the looking for team channel How Does The League Function? -Teams register for league -Schedule will be made and adjusted to fit availability -Each night 2 teams will face off and play to best of 5 (first to 3 wins) -Win/losses will be recorded in the main season and posted in this discord -The main circuit will have each team face every opponent at-least once and potentially more depending on interest -After the main circuit is completed teams will go into a playoff tournament where winners advance and losers are disqualified. Pools will be assembled depending on registration -The season will end once the final circuit is completed and a new one will begin within a month Rules 1.) 1 member from each match must stream the game in Discord or Twitch so that moderators can make sure that rules are being followed and to note the progress of teams 2.) Hacking is strictly banned in all matches (This will result in immediate removal from the tournament (Only individuals will be punished and teams will be allowed to recruit to fill their missing team mate) 3.) Teams must show up for their games on time to make sure that the league runs smoothly (If complications arise just let an admin know) 4.) Roster changes must be updated in the registration channel before a match begins

Enjoy your delusion.

"Are you really argueing with me over how to play the class I've mained over the last 5 years?" There is no point having a disagreement with somebody with the above mentality.

Rating is irrelevant, it's just q-syncing and win-trading. Time played is where it's at.

I didn't say you should blindly use low slash on cool-down. You talk as if low slash is your only gap closer. Force speed and phantom stride? Where have I said they should nerf Assassins for this, I'm only arguing that there's a benefit to being able to use it as a hard stun which you are understating. I've only played Assassin for a little less than 2 years so from here on out I won't disagree with your 5 years playing the class. Time played is definitely the best determinant of skill.
