Feral Buffs(?) and QQing

Wow, it seems like a lot of QQing over the upcoming feral changes from many classes. Why the paranoia about feral becoming average again?
I don't see this focus on anyother class.
because a lot of people have a very strange and very passionate hate for druids. but there are people who will #@*%@ and moan any time a class gets a buff. look at how many people hate mages, or rogues, or locks. basically any class that's really good 1v1 gets a lot of attention from people who like to whine.
If ferals are already your achilles heel, you're going to cringe when you see feral buffs.

If frost is already your achilles heel, you're going to cring when you see frost buffs.

PVP is ultimately a game of paper-rock-scissors. Once you realize that, the buffs and nerfs are a lot easier to understand. They buff and nerf to make sure that paper always beat rock, not to make sure that rock beats paper.

Edit: Skill is, of course, a variable. Paper will never beat rock if you don't pick up the piece of paper and cover the rock with it, after all.
I wrote this out in the arena forums explaining the feral hate. I am 100% certain it all stems from the first few weeks of the season..



Bleeds were bugged for like 2 weeks and were double dipping from mastery when people had zero resil. The bug got fixed, bleeds got an extra 10% nerf, people got resil, suddenly 15k bleed ticks turned into 5k and all was right with the world. However, it was such a big shock that people are traumatized. They got touched in the naughty spot and will harbor fear and resentment until they talk through their issues.

Let me be the first to tell you all...

It wasn't your fault. There's nothing you could have done. I know you might think you let it happen because you were dressed in that trampy PvE gear or because you lead that feral on with a suggestive emote. But it wasn't your fault! There are nasty bugs in the game that let unfair things happen to good people. You can't go through the rest of your life blaming yourself or hating all druids. Now show me on the doll where the bad feral double-rake crit you and we can start the healing process.

How often do you actually see a feral in arena? Once every 20 games. But 50% TSG is balanced. Haters gonna hate
