Cant escape the obvious

S2 just started, 80% of builds are traps.

You are likely to encounter a trap build 90% of the time you queue up, this season is going to be boring if it continues lol

#1 build so far is puncture trap point blank curse on hit

Trap got nerfed last patch, these builds are supose to decrease and balance out right ? They're just increasing right now.

Stop bypassing the obvious and balance it for real already.

Trapper in match ups 80% of the time, oh god this season is going to be hell. . .

Dude you're just awful at countering traps, you said it yourself, you just don't LIKE any of the trap clear moves.

This isn't a problem with traps, this is a problem with how you play, ypd ruins me and you can't catch me - because he has whirling blades and melee splash. Thats it. It's not that hard to counter.

Oh and number one has incredible gear, and plays REALLY well. He's one skilled dude at his build, it has little to do with the fact that he's bow and everything to do with the fact that he has like 6 skills he uses flawlessly.

This doesn't prove me wrong at all, i'm using the trap clear moves already and your'e not justifying anything here. 80% of builds are puncture trap right now and there's a reason why. You're clearly just defending your build. A lot of non puncture trap build agrees that it's still op, yet only the ones actually playing it is defending it right now.

This thread is a prime example of why the posts in this thread have no credibility balance-wise. There are too just too many people saying random crap basing it on pretty much anything besides their own lack of ideas. Fortunately its usually very easy to spot these due to all the hate, swear words, whine and lack of imagination shown in the posts.

Im actually rather tired of the same people whining about GGG not doing anything for the game when GGG is doing exactly the right thing and not listening to these guys. LLD has become more balanced every patch and there is no doubt about it. This is certainly not because they followed these kinds of forum posts.

This game is full of ways to beat trappers. Especially now that CC doesnt do much. There are still a few things that require tweaking for sure but those dont include puncture trappers for now.

mind linking your passive tree and gear so we can see why exactly you are strugling with puncture traps so much? Link the pots too please.

Then you're protecting yours then by demanding a nerf to a skill you don't wanna bother countering.

I can't beat a single decent melee, because they use the right counters and 4-0 me.
What's to protect? You can wb through 6 puncture traps, hit a flask on the odd chance a trap hits, and then destroy. Flicker for chase, fire trap or arc to clear corners. Suicide wrecks me because he counter plays, arc around every corner, and my self cast arrow doesn't do enough damage to change the tide of the duel.

Its a shame you rage over such things. Puncture feels dirty, right? Zomg, zomg can't stand it ).

I'm honestly fed up with the current state of lld bow. I'd take a sword but I don't have one, only managed to craft a bow. Lend me a good sword bro, and I will gladly give up traps. I can lend you my bow equip in turn if you think it is so OP.

GUISE we can't escape the obvious, #1 right now is ypd who's a melee, #2 is a guy I don't know, and #3 is melee.

Did hauntworld win? Did GGG finally nerf AGAIN the evil puncture bow that didn't win a single invitational last season?

Lol its whatever, there's clearly no point in continuing this shit over forum, no one is giving me reasons why i should step away from thinking it's op. Point blank deerstalker is OP as hell and will always be until they nerf point blank. Calling 50% more damage bonus balanced is just ridiculous. You guys are not in a good spot either for calling me bad and everything, i probably have more experience than most of you guys in poe pvp and i can clearly tell when something does too much deeps.

With the current pvp builds, it is very underwhelming compared to what it used to be.

If you can maybe share your build / gear / pots, we can maybe help in bettering off your chances against puncture traps as it seems not many others share the same concern.
