It was such a relief when he left. Oh no.
PvP cant become worse than now with melee mongos everywhere so its a welcome change.
first course of action, take all those abilities that weren't on the GCD before BFA, back off the GCD
Need to keep yes men employed somewhere.
I hope Chris Metzen will return too !
Too bad. MoP was the best PvP system with conquest points, resiliance, and gameplay (people had the toolsets and abilities so that skill mattered). Hotlinka took it away from that into what it mostly is today, and I don't bother to PvP at all anymore. I used to PvP all day, every day, and had much fun back then... now it's just nostalgia for me in WoW as I mythic+.Make PvP gear count - so that to do well in PvP, you have to PvP - and also have a way to gear up all the time. The best raider in the world, if they never PvP'd and then decided to try it, got wrecked - as it should be. Now the best PvP gear is had via PvE, making PvP pointless.
Bring back Ashran, if nothing else for the sake of being able to do the reps ... kinda crap they were straight up removed.
You think you want Blizzard to address class balance with a new developer, but you really don't.
No idea as I am a filthy causal but if he the one that made Ashran, with all my heart I thank him for creating the only one thing that made me do PVP: Spear of Vol'jin.I hate PVP, I'm terrible at it but this title was worth all the pain, and frustration.
I`m interested in that "unannounced project".
is this real life? #teamsavix
lol so many braindead mindless rage posts in these comments.This guy isn't what ruined wow pvp this community of people that mostly don't pvp at all ruined it for everyone else because most wow players hate pvp they either barely pvp at all or don't do it unless their fav class is broken and it's easy to win with them.This community would have you believing that because of slight missteps (and they were extremely SLIGHT missteps) with the honor talent system in Legion (which was a small grind designed to adequately prepare you for those changes in rated pvp) and gear drops (complaints about grinding gear in pvp have always been more common than the latest trend of complaining that gear doesn't matter as much in pvp) and World PVP (which does not matter at all and never did) being really "unbalanced" that pvp was worse than ever in Legion.The reality is that PVP in Legion was legitimately more balanced than ever before, absolutely no contest, so was PVE for that matter. The reality of the game before is that more often than not, nearly entire classes were not viable for entire parts of the game, that was absolutely not the case in Legion or WOD, period.What this community needs to do on the whole is shut up with your complaints unless you have hard data on your side and are demonstrably correct about what you are talking about. For crying out loud there are people in these comments confusing Holinka with Celestalon who uses a Stylus Tablet instead of a mouse which is totally not a weird or controversial thing at all.
add solo que holinka, make rewards be recolors and require low rating so its adjusted to the #$%^ playerbaseBAM fixed pvp
Gratz Holinka!If he wouldn't make current Warmode WPvP into Legion WPvP-####show, I would be good.Anyway, I think this is a good change for WoW team, he's smart and now there are more chances for better changes and not just "-150% nerfs because we don't know how to fix it".Brian Holinka, pls focus on class/spec design and bugged abilities first, then Azerite & PvP.
I dont think most ppl in here realise that HOLINKA wanst the one calling the shots. They were limited by the commands activision lay upon them. Holinka never had the final say in whatever he has done, Now maybe with the new CEO and him thing will change...Hope for the best!
I don't think his ideas are bad, its just Blizzard implements them... poorly
Pls! NOOOOOOO! Removed What happened and where did they transfer it and managed to ruin that game and want to bring it back to wow? When it was believed that the game could have a beginning to be settled, and now it seems to him to ruin everything. RIP Blizzard, I will wait for the classics.
Rip Pvp
