If you feel completely useless in huttball, you're doing it wrong.

Mercs - can spec for 2 knockbacks.. Amazing for defense, not to mention the ability to burst a ball handler. Or if you're a healer, hold mid down.

Op - Concealment blow up those sorcs trying to run ahead of the ball handler. Protect your catwalks! Trust me good ones can do this very effectively. Heal spec is the most mobile healer so I don't think people complain about them in huttball..

Sniper - Roots. Not affected by resolve. Need I say more? I will. A sniper is probably the best defender in the game. If you have good positioning you can rain down damage while those pesky warriors cant charge you.. Back to roots. Roots will be one of the most abused abilities in ranked mark my words. Chain roots can lock someone down that already has full resolve and essentially force them to pass or die. Most good huttball teams will have a sniper.

It seems like everyone wants to be the ball handler when only ONE person can hold the ball at a time. What good is a running back in football without his offensive linemen?

One more point to the people who want to disable friendly pulls, charges, speed boosts on a carrier. You would have to disable enemy leaps, pulls and knock backs or noone is scoring without the pass to a stealthy at the goal line strat. As it is now competent teams against each other rarely score over two points per side so this change is just unnecessary. Why do you want to turn it into a game of who has the best tank and the most heals?
Spoken like someone who actually understands this warzone. Stop trying to remove strategy from the only WZ that really has in depth strategy.

I'm going to guess you don't win huttball very often.

Build a team with the right roles then. Every class has something to contribute. It's not all about holding the ball..

This entire post derives from the fact that you don't understand the complexities of the warzone, so you find it shallow, imbalanced, and not warranting being in rateds.

I'm telling you, you are wrong. It's great that on your server you don't have people who have figured out how to counter "Leap, Pull, and then mouse 1 as fast as you can" and you win 9/10 of your games. That's gotta be nice to have such an easy time farming.

Some of us, on our servers, people have figured out counter strats, and counter-counter strats, and we are really enjoying the different roles that classes have in huttball, and how they function in terms of offense, and defense, and controlling mid.

When X server ques finally come out, you'll see what I'm talking about and hopefully you'll enjoy Huttball a lot more.

I don't feel underpowered in Huttball, I just don't find it fun. I wish there was the option to not play it.

I feel like in non-rateds you should be able to. I would really love to not ever have to set foot in civil war again until they fix the damned side speeders. Talk about a lame WZ.
