yeah. reckful is easily good enough to get gladiator as a shadowpriest, it's his worst class yet still good enough to make top 10%, what does that tell you? lol. The team he's facing here just happens to be THE best team of that setup in the world, and apart from talbadar, that other shadowpriest is the next best i'd say. it's like Reckful playing on his rogue with cdew and talbadar, playing against a mirror of great players but they're only player their alts. you see the difference.
Reckful played so insanely bad this game lol. He never used fear at all with a blanket on sham. But this was when he was new to sp but still this was painful to watch.
lol. he's great at Spriest. Much better than you could ever hope to be. He just happened to have run into one of the best Shadowpriests in the world at that time. He's only got a season on cast/Spriest. The guys they're facing are gladiators who've been playing those classes (and been playing together) for years. That's like Reckful playing his Rogue with Talbadar and Cdew, against a mirror, but the mirror just happens to be playing their alts.. get me? He's still good enough to get a high Gladiator ranking as shadoewpriest. He was beating the highest rated Paladin/boomkin/enh (Koreans) in the world on his Spriest. It's usually players who've never been above 1900 in their lives who make stupid uninformed comments like this.
His position, damage, and SOOOOOO many times in which he could of massed dispelled to save trinkets/cds. All of those factors having nothing to do with how good the other team is. Besides maybe the lack of damage.. but even then. He was new to spriest here though so it makes sense I guess. His druid was the only one keeping them in that game for as long as they were, so well played by him. And I still don't know.. just about every single spriest video I've watched him in I see the same thing. He is amazing at warrior and rogue but not sure he found near as good of play on spriest. Also, its hard not go get glad on anything if you play with talb, cdew etc... no matter what you play. All that being said he was an amazing player none the less. Just not near as great of a player on Spriest. All I'm saying. \Also I've been 2200+ many times before the game went to shit and now being 2200 is an actual joke. It used to be very VERY hard to get 2400.. Now the very small amount of people I used to play with that were in that struggle with me.. 2800-2900 on champs they don't even play seriously. The game became a joke after cata. Talking about 1900 LOL
Man look at the damage difference lol. they did twice as much damage as Ziqo and reck, fucking Baten is badass for keeping them up. Played with and against Baten many times. THE best druid in the world imho. Definitely kept them in this game way longer than they should have been in it. They had a huge handicap having a druid instead of a Rsham though, they could have won with a shaman. (as good as Baten). Kollectiv was always better than cdew. never understood why these guys never spellstole or dispelled that Power Word Fortitude. trying to burst through a 20% health buff was insane. We always dispelled it as often as we could as we worked out, the mana and time lost for dispelling it over and over outweighed the cost and time of them rebuffing it over and over, especially considering the priests rotation get's fucked from it and they struggled with mana in this expansion anyway. yeah he's not nearly at the level on caster as melee. look at the damage Talbadar outputs alone. like many games talbadar was able to put out so much damage they were able to bear RANK1 KFC's in full gear with Reckful in blue's. Reckful i think only output (at this time) maybe 70% the damage of the realy good spriests, and maybe only 60% of what talb could put out. I played Rogue for years, i was the number 3 ranked rogue in the world in 2v2 in season 8 for a few weeks (would have been higher but we just couldn't get a break with queue in 2v2 as we kept coming up against an incredible druid lock team with the Druid being called Enigmz, you might know him). i was 2730 rated in 2s that season. We beat Hydra and Flynn a few times in S7 and didn't lose to Hydra in S8 in 2s (We played Spriest/Muti rogue). My Spriest was called Blackout, fantastic priest and one of my best friends. He would have made a HUGE difference in this game as the guys positioning, timing and ability to burst was amazing. I met him when i was boosting people in season 7 and 8 to get them to 1800 or 2k in 2v2 on my rogue for money, he was doing it also, i boosted his Resto Shaman to 2090 in a couple of pieces of vendor gear and shitty 5 man weapon and shield, and he returned the favor on my Resto Shaman in the same gear by getting me the 2200 mark lol. The guy was so good he was literally solo'ing 2100 rated teams, as my gear was so bad that unless i literally LoS'd the whole game and literally only popped out to NS Hex or or ES or NS GHW i'd be one shot by guys with T2 weapons, head and shoulders. As a rogue it was harder to solo teams at that level (as you know there was a pretty big jump in skill and gear between 2k and 2.2) and as a rogue i just simply didn't have the damage to 100 - 0 alot of classes while i had their team mate CC'd once they had T2 gear also. Anyway im off topic. If reckful was 100% good on rogue, he was 90% good on warrior, and maybe 60-65 on Spriest, i played alot against that guy Misli and also Rylez. and both were great players (if i remember right both were around in S1 together), Rylez was good but not as good as Ziqo or my favorite EVER partner Daanzka
