This is why PvP hasn't been successful in this game. People really hate getting ganked in two seconds. And they hate it when opponents run away. Trying to achieve a balance between these two poles is very difficult due to the extremes of the damage blasters can dish out and tankers can take.

The devs tried to address this with the PvP revamp, with all the obnoxious heal decay, travel suppression, and the like. But no one is happy with the result.

The current solutions don't work. What needs to change is the motivations for the players. Travel suppression is bogus -- players should not want to run away from a fight; they shouldn't be forced to stay. There should be some in-game motivation for standing your ground.

On the other side, getting defeated currently has too high a penalty. In PvP fights getting defeated should be akin to going down for the count in boxing, and then getting back up to fight again. This could be done by leaving all your defensive toggles on when you're defeated by a player, and giving everyone a self-res power that can be used only when defeated by an other player. Then you can be up and fighting again instantly.

To get a point of rep you need to knock down another player five or so times. If you flee from a fair fight, you lose rep and your name is displayed in yellow with a chicken icon for the next day. Determining whether a player is fleeing from a fair fight would be tricky: a lone corruptor running away from six blasters is not cowardice. Similarly, six blasters ganking a lone corruptor should reduce the rep of all the blasters involved because it's not a fair fight. If you lose rep in a fight, you have no chance for a PvP recipe drop.

In short, PvP should be made more like a boxing match rather than an assassination. By providing in-game motivations to abide by a certain code of conduct, PvP could be a lot more fair, fun and engaging, at the same time being much more like the rollicking fights you see in the comics and movies.

Stalkers are seen a mile away, brutes have no fury as they can't melee. Corruptors have weaker debuff compared to defenders and the same goes for Dominators.

If you want to PvP and win, it needs to be a hero.....remember that most, if not all, people are biased and that always, ALWAYS creeps into their professionalism. So, if you don't think the devs are happy the heroes are more powerful, you are blind to society and human nature. professionalism is just a tag, like justice. Neither really exist the way they are defined.

Once you have your PB built up and ready, holla at me and we can try a Human vs Tri duel. Even though my build is a like 4 issues old, b4 I went overseas a few months ago...I dueled a couple of Human form PBs who promised me that they could not be beat by a Tri and it was fun to say the least.
