well i cant argue that atk speed doesnt increase ur atk speed, i think that clear, but i will argue that positioning is still very important, ignoring mages (since they are bugged), a high atk speed investment req a build specific made for it, so u cant run any other substats, or atleast to be enough to affect u
i would argue that while ya some stuff become a bit easier, isnt so easy to the point where u can beat top pvpers as it still req good aim and good prediction, while endlag is still enough to punish people
any projectile will leave u vulnable if u miss it, not only endlag but also startup, usually people are close to each other, as for warrior top moves, except triasta they all have the dmg after the visuals, and like triasta most of them put u somewhat close so u can still be punished/
i would also argue that there are 4 stats that are worth, atk, power, atk speed and size, maybe if ur generous, 5 to also add agility, u can pair atk speed with other substats if u have like 100-200 atk speed, so the question is, does the other substats make atk speed to look too broken
honestly, this isnt rlly a point against or for, for any substat, when i played on a laptop that couldnt even reach 30 fps with quality level 1 i could had say everything was op, this just doesnt work, i can prob make a better argument, but im a bit in a hurry
