Stop acting like its some sort of skillful strategy.

You are wrong am I am right. If you find that you need to use a level design exploit to win a battle than your just not good.”

Yeah, just like the Romans and the Brits and the Ottomans and every other great empire exploited the world design to win battles. It has everything to do with skill.

You run circles around a pillar to avoid damage. Thats called exploiting the level design to avoid taking any damage.

Very convincing.

Do you have any idea how idiotic this statement sounds? Apparently you have no concept of ‘Strategy?’ Because if you did I wouldn’t be lecturing you on common sense. If the odds are against me, I employ every available strength and resource available to me. When is 2 > 3? When they play by your rules.

How many of today’s armies line up single file, facing each other, on an open prairie, and begin firing at one another without thought of taking cover? No one. Terrorists, gorillas, spies; out in the open they are nothing but individuals, small gatherings. Against the technologies and the great militaries of today’s countries they’re cockroaches. But by hiding in jungle forest or city walls, we can’t touch them. You never play to your opponent’s strengths. That’s suicide.

A druid’s greatest strength is mobility. They are one of the best classes at using LoS, so why shouldn’t they? As Phaelia said, why would Blizzard place objects and structures in the way if they didn’t intend for us to use them. You speak as if standing behind a pillar automatically wins us the game. That we can stand there all day, facing that wall, ignoring everything else that is going on. Definitely an exploit if that were the case, but it isn’t.

You probably consider the concept of high ground an exploit as well. Take Blade’s Edge for example; players on the ground are forced to run all the way to one side or the other to get onto the bridge. It definitely falls under your “exploiting the level design to avoid taking damage.” That elevation is preventing players from dealing damage to their targets which by your logic must be an exploit. We should just make all of our battlegrounds and arenas flat plains of nothing, just one big blank field of grass, sand, stone, or dirt. Brilliant.

And if you want to be taken seriously at all, please post a name so we can find you online and see how credible you really are. I don’t believe in judging people simply from their rating, but it does provide a decent scale to base you upon.

Now if your going to make a video demonostrating your skills, do it without using a exploit, thats all I’m saying.

Do you see Drakedog putting up all his DoTs on people, than running circles around the pillar?

@Anonymous: Wow … try playing a Druid withoutL using Line of Sight, why don’t you? In fact, would you prefer if I just sat down so you could chain crit me to death? If Line of Sight weren’t an accepted and intended strategy, there wouldn’t be pillars in Nagrand and Blade’s Edge nor a sarcophagus in Ruins of Lordaeron. High escapability is one of the strengths of the Druid class (in addition to insta-cast HoTs, Cyclone, and Roots). Take that away (as it is in 5v5 where there are too many people to remain out of LoS) and see how well we’re able to compete – i.e., pretty much not at all.
