Hi guys.
So,i dont wanna complain about the haters in the arena but...seriously!I play 2v2 arena with my Shadow Priest and my Death Knight friend.You can imagine that immediately after the arena starts its like ''
Kill the Priest!The guy in the dress must die!Grawlbraglhla!
''.They are like viceous beasts,just bashing on me without any restrain or tough of mercy.
Most recently the haters i encountered are a Warrior and a Rogue.10 Seconds after arena starts the warrior's like ''
BAAAAAAASSH!
!'' and then the rogue is like ''
KILL!BLOOD!MURDER111
'' on me.Its just...as they beat my poor little clother up i feel the hate and sometimes take it personally.With my DK friend we tough of a funny metafora i wanted to share with you guys:
Lets say the arena is a kitchen,the rogue is the wife,the warrior is the husband,my poor priest is a cockroach and my Dk friend is a fly.The wife just walks quietly around the kitcken when suddenly she looks at the floor.Aw my god!Its a helpless corckroach!The wife immidietly calls her husband who charges at the roach with no remorse.The wife has vanished/jumped on the table so the roach cant reach her while the husband is throwing stuff at the little insect.After all that running the cockroach has just escaped the wrath of the husband when suddenly the wife jumps from the table and steps on the roach.The couple now celebrate the defeat over the poor little roach when the wife notices a fly attacking her.The husband,immediately goes into a frenzy and attacks the poor fly.The fly gets scared and leaves the kitchen...
So,what do you think?Isnt this situation just a reflection of the arena or what?

I'm trying to figure out what this has to do with hate...
I haven't played for a while, but from what I can remember, when one of your enemies is a shadow priest, leaving him alone can be
very
dangerous.
It makes sense that you'd get focused...
Also, your metaphor is strange.

I figured some may not get it.You see its like this:
As the rogue is wandering around the arena in stealth mode they talk with the warrior on skype/vent/TS etc.The rogue eventually sez ''
*!@# strategy.Nuke the Priest'
' (hence,the wife seeing the roach on the kitchen floor) and the warrior starts attacking me.Soon comes the rogue and my Dk friend starts nuking the rogue,however annoying rogues have the OP vanish spell dont they :(?So he uses it.During his vanishment i manage to escape the warr with dispersion or something but the rogue just one-shot Ambushes me as soon as i try to heal.Afterwards the rogue and the warrior start attacking the Dk but there is no point in fighting anymore is it?So the Dk just leaves the arena and we lose.
I do understand its important to nuke me since i can be dangerous but it just pisses my off somehow.I guess its because im not an OP Frost Mage (Frost Nova,yea mages your really special) or a Lock (Demonic Circle,Pets,Fear,Fear and again Fear...your special too locks).

Your disarm will either cause 10 seconds of literal no damage to them or force a trinket for a free fear. when they first both get on you, pop psy scream, see if any of them trinkets. If one of them does, use your disarm on them to make them pretty useless (Use gladius to know who has trinkets off cd.) Your fear bomb will be back up long before their trinkets are. Honestly I would try to focus the warrior if I were you in that situation. They don't have a cloak + vanish, and combat readieness from a rogue added in with that often makes rogues a poor choice for focusing attacks in 2s. Also your dk friend I'm assuming is frost so he has hungering cold as a great peel that also will likely force at least one trinket. If all your ccs and his ccs are on cd, its time to pop dispersion and kite them around and have your dk partner kill whoever you were focusing. Shadow priests are still pretty good atm from what I see in arena.

There is no hate involved. Only a desire to win. Which is, you know, what Arena is about.

There should be mock arenas to let sad and poorly skilled people win.

Better off.... why would the fly leave the kitchen?
Haha. And why dk friend leaves arena? That is what it really meaned. Because dk is fly there. And kitchen is arena.

I know exactly what you mean. It's like in football- why does the whole opposing team hate the guy with the ball? Why do they all try to trip and tackle him? Why don't they tackle the guys off on the side who aren't doing anything, and leave the guy with the ball alone...
Oh, wait- it's because that's how you win.

/facepalm
Also, you get focused because you are playing with a death knight, and killing a death knight is harder than killing a priest.

Actually I'd rather train a Death Knight and hard swap onto a priest, letting a DK loose isn't good.
but the rogue just one-shot Ambushes me as soon as i try to heal
Try reading up on other classes, instead of going into arena blindfolded.
Saves cooldowns for Shadowdance, timing is important.
You're ignoring the facts. Saying you aren't winning because you're not a mage or lock, or because rogues '1-shot you' and have OP spells doesn't help you. Go to AJ, read up on your class and others and you'll become a better player. Its not all skill, its mentality to.

Actually, no. It's because they know the consequences of leaving you alone.
A Priest left alone is just too much to handle. The sheer damage output a Priest can deal with DoTs spread through all targets, while maintaing gross levels of utility (Shields, Fears, Mind Controls, Silences) mean that if you're left alone like that, it's certain game over. And, obvioulsy, 2 against 1 is preferable to 2 against 2. They want to gain an advantage. You depend on cooldowns to survive, so they
want
to create an opening, forcing you to blow cooldowns ASAP, so that the next time you're focused, you won't have any defenses.
But the best defense is having your Death Knight peel targets off of you. Work together, and you'll have more opportunities to cast spells.
