RIP Kerkrom (Level 94)

Thoes of you calling it a broken mechanic are right. But not for the reasons you are saying. Its not because he is so high level. So long as you are gaining exp there has to be some risk.

No, its a broken mechanic because the only type of player that has to deal with ANY of these 1 shot mechanics are in melee range. Add into that melee tend to have to deal with desync alot more than ranged and ping and the mechanic is broken, but not because it hits so hard.


To all of you telling eachother how bad they are. Go look at both the default and HC ladders. Are you in the top 20? No? Then shut the fuck up. You arent a god at the game either.

Edit: Your probably higher on the ladder than me. But I dont claim to be a better player than anyone. Infact I claim everyone is better than me. Point still stand that armchair pro's are retards.

People probably didn't watch the stream but they did a Double Vaal map right before that map and everyone but Etup and Kerkrom chickened out and left the map. Those 2 guys proceeded to kill the 2 Vaal's with full group HP and did fine.

It's not like he didn't know how to play his character and I doubt he wasn't aware of his own limitations.

It's a sad way to end a obvious very succesful character, that's all I'm saying. I don't know the guy but I do feel sorry for him.

I'm glad other people are pointing out how overused "desync" is as an excuse for a HC death. It's so lame and disingenuous. Wish some people (without naming names) would just accept they made a daft mistake.

Also, I wonder if the same people that complain about being 1-shot by an endgame boss like Vaal would also complain at being 1-shot by a raid boss in WoW or something similar.

In no sane world is that a 'broken mechanic' - it just a mechanic i.e. it's something your meant to adapt your play to, not just something you should expect to faceroll every single time.

EDIT: and sure it's unfair that only melee has to deal with that specific mechanic, but that just (in part) shows there's a systematic imbalance between melee and range classes in the game - the specific Vaal mechanic isn't 'broken' though.

Well since WOW does it too it must be okay? Is there HC in WOW too? (I have no idea since I never played WOW)

In SC I don't see it as a problem but in HC it's especially nasty way to lose your character.

No there isn't. But my point isn't that "if WoW does it then it must be okay". My point is that 1-shot mechanics are nothing new to the end-game parts of online games. Where else do you hear people complain about the end-game content being broken because there's a chance of being 1-shot? As I said, it's a mechanic that's (probably) designed to be avoided not facetanked.

So? Now absolutely everything is worthless unless you're selling it?

If your house got demolished it would be just fine since you weren't selling it?

The character isn't his; it's GGG's. I don't think talking about this stuff in the official forums is a very bright idea.

Wrong, its whoever owns the account. Ggg has no right towards my characters

RIP and for some reason you are still #1 beating all the default players straight out of HC.

Fb62... I think you're dreaming... you should probably wake up now :P
