This however contradicts what blizzard is trying to do by turning arenas into an e-sport. It doesn't at all cater to their casuals, their main source of money. It caters to the top 5% of arena players, so that they can get publicity to rope in more casuals.
What if, instead of having everything in wow operating on random chance, everything operated "every xth" time. For example, running 33% crit rate, your third swing will ALWAYS be a crit. 5% mace stun, your 20th swing will always proc mace stun. I realise that as an idea, this would need to be very well fleshed out to prevent abuse.
I think this would introduce new levels of co-ordination and skill. Co-ordinating with other players when you're going to crit. Watching for burst when other players are going to crit. Using imp hamstring / mace stun to cc. Making the abilities skill based, rather than randomly sometimes winning/losing games because of it.
Or possibly apply this to procs only, rather than on crits for spells/abilities/white damage.
It would be possible to enable this system in arenas only (or battlegrounds + arenas) I'm sure, if this was deemed necessary.
Thoughts?
