Yeah this is what I used to complain about with Slayer too before WL became the new order god.yoluigi wrote: ↑Thu Jun 19, 2025 1:51 pm I dont think people understand what i was saying WL dont have any choice to be stronger because it's the only good choice for melee order
Wl S tier
Rest of the melee b-c tier
While destro got that S, A tier
Choopa (best melee dps with just spaming 3 abilities) with marauder (armor debuff) and melee squig, BO with with auto attack haste buff which is way stronger than the rest of order good mobility and super high dmg.
Slayer is trash compare to choopa now mobility especialy with dok giving -20% speed covenant. You just gonna keep running man and they gonna control the fight.
It's not that the slayer needed to be nerfed as hard as it did. It's that it was the only viable order class in organized and it was both boring to play for (unless u only love playing 1 class I guess) and also boring to play against just the same thing time and time again.
They finally nerfed the Slayer a little after like 15 years but the problem didn't go away, they just swapped it the WL which may be even more boring to play against since at least there was some interesting ways you could counter slayers... WL is just the same thing over and over and the only real thing you can do as a counter is interupt the spin.
I am a WL player myself... well I don't actively play the game at the moment but when I return I will be playing the Lion again surely as I find it very enjoyable to play between managing a pet and having so much mobility. But it's just a very stale meta in the organized play.
A fun meta is one where you constantly see different lineups of classes having at least a somewhat competitive chance. Even destro doesn't really have this going for them....lots of unused classes and builds to this day. But on order its a whole different level of stale.
