Big ol le sigh.

I think I am getting worse at this game as time goes on. 

 

I'm also just going to throw this out there....

As a relatively mediocre Assassin... I'm starting to not want to pvp in the arena anymore.  

 

I know there is a lot of QQ @ BD's Summoners and Destroyers, and even some at FM's.  I dunno if they're OP or whatever.  All I know is that fighting them is starting to feel like a losing proposition from the start.    I mean.. I really like my assassin. Don't get me wrong.  Its really fun.  But... *cricket* me I'm just not having a good time today in the arena.   

 

Issues I seem to have against Blade Dancers: I just can't seem to get in through the constant aoe spam.  Which... is really frustrating. It pretty much feels like every time I stealth, I get aoe'd out of stealth, stunned/dazed/unable to turn or use my Q.  Godforbid my SS is down.  It's probably compounded by my latency issues... but it's really frustrating.  I know this is where you insert the 'gitgud noob' jargin.. and it's true. I need to get better. I am not going to kid myself about that.  I just wanted to provide a little feedback on the subject.  I like to think that each loss is a lesson.  But holyballs I feel like I'm not learning anything.   Just getting wrecked.

 

 

Destroyers: I pretty much can only beat them in damage done by poisoning them and running away constantly.  Same deal with the constant aoe spam just insta breaking my stealth.  I just feel like I'm constantly on the run, and can't really ever put my foot down.  Which would be fine I guess... but it is just REALLY hard. I feel like I have to put in 10 times the amount of work they do, just to stay alive.  

 

Summoners:  Their pet is constantly pulling me out of stealth immediately after I stealth. Their pet also constantly interferes with my targeting.. and I can't seem to not end up hitting the pet.  It's really irritating.  It's very overwhelming.  I just feel like I'm in a 2v1.   

 

These are all probably only issues for crappy Assassins.  I dunno. I have a massive migraine from trying to get back up to 1600 in 1v1s, and I'm probably going to give up for a few days and take a whack at it with a clear mind.

 

 

 

What I think everyone else looks like when they play this game:

What I actually look like while playing this game.^

Hey there!

 

I might not be the best SIN out there but I have been in the situation you are in.

It might seem like an uphill battle but trust me there is a way to beat these classes its just an uphill battle.

Get practice and do your research and you will find strats to beat these classes.

I highly recommend you watch this fully. Yes it's an hour long but it will help you out a lot. This guy also does a lot of other videos on how to improve as an assassin, you should check them out to.

Thanks for the replies!

 

That video is awesome. Though I don't think I have an adequate internet connection, or reaction speed, or mind voodoo skills to pull it off.  I will keep working at it, the video definitely gives a great heads up on what to look out for!
