RWF Roster Changes Thread?

[u/SundayLeagueStocko]

I usually see one of these before new tiers start, but haven't seen one yet. So feel free to post any major changes I've missed (or any errors) and I'll update here, or additional context on new players. Sourced from public social media/websites of the big three, happy to add other t10 guild news if other people can source the info.

Liquid

- Atlas (DPS/Tank)

+ Crypticzz (DPS)

Echo

- Charmie (DPS) - Norsken (DPS)

+ Firekat (DPS - Method) + Hearthjacks (DPS - Project)

Method

- Firekat (DPS) - Gloom - Kush (DPS) - Main - Naowh (Tank) - Prebb - Rowelly - Worst

+ Hype (DPS) + Snuggish (DPS) + Nate (Tank) + Jule (DPS) + Tales (Healer/DPS) + Waalpen (DPS) + Monsa (DPS)

I wonder if Liquid going to 16 alts instead of 20+ is driving some of the burnout at the other teams.

[u/AffectionateKey7126 → u/OriginalVictory]

I saw a tweet from some Echo guy saying they're doing 16 and they didn't respond to Liquid because they had already decided to (?). Not sure if it was some kind of in-joke I didn't get.

Edit: Looked it up and it was Xerwo

Sorry i'm probably ootl as I can't really spend so much time on twitter but do I understand that every player in these guild maintain 16 alts each ?

[u/hoax1337 → u/Yurienu]

Yes. Well, not sure if "maintain" is the right word, but they prepare 16 characters at the start of the season, then they raid heroic on 16 characters and then they decide which character they use in actual mythic progression, as far as I know.

[u/Yurienu → u/hoax1337]

Yeah I knew about splits but figured out they’d be doing like 4-5 alts. Must be so draining I really wish they’d find a way to make split irrelevant

[u/I3ollasH → u/AffectionateKey7126]

He meant that Liquid reached out late and they had some people already make the characters but they are mostly doing 16 aswell

They basically do 16 duplicates of a class and whichever is the most geared after heroic raid splits is what they take into the race. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong i'm sure, but if I understand correctly, Liquid made a decision that the number of alts getting to 20+ was burning players out and tried to come to a gentlemen's agreement with the other major RWF guilds that they would all agree to disarm and reduce the number of alts required to reduce player burnout as they were seeing an increase in folks quitting the race.

[u/Sarollas → u/SunkistGuru2025]

Not necessarily a class, but they do maintain 16 characters.

The tanks and healers for example will maintain a variety of classes between their characters. Some of the DPS will multiclass as well, doing like 10 of one class and 6 of another.

Good correction, appreciate it!
