That was MoP "Throw Rogue". The level 90 "Shuriken Toss" had been reworked. If you hit an enemy more than 30yrs away, it did double dmg and replaced your autos with a shuriken of equal range. It also only cost 20 energy and granted a CP per cast. You'd sit in Narnia spamming throw until you needed to use a spender. Then run back to Narnia. The pressure was constant since target swapping cost you zero uptime thanks to being, effectively, a ranged dps. You had ALL the bonuses of a melee dps with short kick cooldowns and hilarious amounts of cc with none of the downsides that come with being melee. Dark days.
@@turionb1408 Yup, and I fucking miss it. I never got this version but in WoD I loved having a Ninja Rogue spec that could become ranged with a talent.
no addons is actually such an underrated thing man, having to coordinate and keep track of everything, was such an added level of awareness that just isnt relevant anymore, it just allowed for so much more skill expression.
I'm generally unaffected when someone who I don't know in real life dies, but Reckful dying just punched me right in the gut. It represented something for me I guess, and it still hurts to this day.
Byron was the reason I got into learning about keyboards and stuff and getting into typeracer stuff. I still own my Lamar shirt and rock it till this day. I miss him.
Cata. Mop had too much cc. Mop became one button burst classes. Mop was the literal reason for one of the biggest purges and why they don’t make the same decisions with cc like they use to.
@@AMike75 what do you mean one button burst? every class puts all their cds on one macro since forever till today and people could one shot like they can today, mop had 75% passive resilience and battle fatigue, wasnt they best but definitely not the worst as you want to make it see. It waaaaay better than the crap wow pvp is today where everyone is running around with 50 debuffs and 80 buffs of random bullshit. Tell me an expansion where you dont die (100-0) in a full stun to 2 well geared players.
Since cata launched I’ve been watching old Rek vods from cata->mop and my god the game is just infinitely better and more palatable from a viewers stand point and the game just makes more sense.
I think a big part of the game being “better” is just people were a lot more positive and had fun. Now it’s more popular to bitch too much twitter mindset. No addons is nice though
Notice how so much of this is frantic, verbal communication? Whilst that is messy, it's got so much more energy to it than Weakaura's blaring sound effects out. This sound used to intimidate me for the communication, but it's something I really miss from my RBG days.
had something to do with the gcd, using redirect (combo points weren't static) and deadly throw having high crit and affected by sub mastery+6sec kick on casts. so many gimmick builds over the years
it actually is almost easier to know whats happening without add ons. only thing i would like is trinket notifications or emblems for teammates/arena 123
Haha, i remener Rogues having like, a PvP glove bonus that made deadly throw an interrupt, and if you combined that with another talent that made finishers apply a combo point you could spam 1 combopoint deadly throw on people that would interrupt them with no CD or something like that
Man, this era of wow and twitch will always have a place in my heart. RIP reckful ❤
Back in the day man... I miss those times... rest in peace Reckful

Reckful calling : "I'm getting Swifty" "help help help" had me dying lol.
I used to watch this guy every single day, even at the most awkward times of night. Love both of you guys, good times
the 330-4am stream time starts were honestly great
“Hoodrych pressure” god that takes me back
Nadaghast had to be one of the funniest dudes to ever play this game.
Hearing ''I'm throwing'' in a positive light is giving me the heebiejeebies

what a stupid gameplay😂

Dark days indeed. I think i brooke 2 keyboards playing vs Throwrogues
I remember these streams. I was in a really bad place mentally at that time and his streams were the only thing i was looking up for. I miss this guy!
Man I was smiling for the whole video. I'm so glad we have these old videos of reckful. What a goat
The clean UI is the best part.

Not allowed addons on stage
@@Tyrvana you used to not be allowed addons, but nowadays players are allowed a curated list of addons.
So much more appealing to the eye too
I'm generally unaffected when someone who I don't know in real life dies, but Reckful dying just punched me right in the gut. It represented something for me I guess, and it still hurts to this day.
I swear I watched 90% of those MOP streams, I even recognize some of the games still. Miss you Byron.
You guys were the reason i started streaming because of funny shit like that.
God i miss those days - so much fun...
"Popping my swifty, going full reelz on this guy"
Realz
Byron was the reason I got into learning about keyboards and stuff and getting into typeracer stuff. I still own my Lamar shirt and rock it till this day. I miss him.
RIP Reckful so fun to watch.
Wasn't the main reason why no one played with addons is because Blizzard didn't allow them in tournys?
yep
damn i didnt know this. we should go back to this rule.
@@7fg9sd8a9 They really should. Bring back WoW LAN Tournaments!
exactly right
yerp then covid happens and lans went online. they stopped caring after that and now the game is MEGA plagued by them
I go back and watch reckful regularly, I miss him. Rest easy king ❤
Would have been so nice to see Reckful play cata again in this day and age , may he rest in peace :/
This will always make me cry man. Reckful was such an amazing guy.
mop was the goat of wow arenas, it blows my mind how reckful was able to play that well with next to 0 addons let alone weakauras. MoP Classic hype

@@Ransukelolbro mop pvp was ass , reckful was literally throwing the whole game.
Miss that guy :(
In every new Expasion as Aliance I go to the church and Pay Respect to him. Always.
man Shuriken toss and Deadly throw, what a throwback - pun intended
21:05 - this sap was INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, Miss you Reckful ❤🔥
dude 6.5k live at 2013 gosh he was THE streamer
9:22 "These silly melee rogues, I don't know what they are doing!" -Reckful
i watched this videos with tears in my eyes... not only because of reckful but also because all the wow / twitch memories... RIP legend
Man I really miss Byron he was such a good dude man rip
I miss MOP era so much... the best moments of my life
that noppoo choc mini is legendary, mine broke a few years ago and i stil miss it
Rip Reckful, watching him made me come back to WoW and play MoP. Good times~
6k viewers in 2013 it's like 200k in 2024
Since cata launched I’ve been watching old Rek vods from cata->mop and my god the game is just infinitely better and more palatable from a viewers stand point and the game just makes more sense.

Man I miss Byron. Hope you're doing good Ven, from a long time follower who hasn't been watching as often as before!
loved watching all his vods again over the years. when he played spriest etc...
No Addons sooo goooodd
I loved how back then he would be mid fight and swap over to his chat to type "LOLOL" and shit like that lol
This really takes me back all I did in mop was pvp

Good times werent they. RIP Reckful xx
thanks ven was a blast from the past i miss him
Shrunken Toss strat was funny to see again.
if i had a time machine. this is very wholesome, it makes me a little sad but also im enjoying seeing everyone.
i agree that the cam angle was so good, it gives the feeling you are there chilling with him or something
this is crazy. i was just rewatching MoP reruns of reckful last week.
Shit used to be so funny when they would go "ham" or "turn up (turnip)" and had those macro icons set to the food icons lmao
If you look at that RMP mirror, Reckful did like 780k while the enemy rogue did 2 mill lol. It wasn't worth playing that build it looks like.
I miss reckful
Reckful truly a God , played with no addon's and decimated all
5.2 throw rogue was so stupid. good times
Please just look at how Reckful's UI was clean AF. Nothing, literally zero addons and weak auras. (May he rest in peace)
The Actual Goat.
MOP was some crazy PvP that is for sure. Rip Reck we love ya man forever.
RIP reckful never i will never forget you
rip Reckful
I miss him first streamer I ever watched and one of the very few I ever watched
man this makes me happy
RIP Legend
Reckful was so good he could kill teams only throwing
Hot off the press for once! Thanks a lot Ven. I bet this brought up a lot of memories.
The way you were saying shuriken was twisting my brain :D Sure-uh-kin
its a little surreal that reckful is just an 8lb bag of ashes now, rip to an absolute legend
will forever be missed
'Throwing hard, throwing hard' 🤣
Thanks for this upload, Ven!
RIP Reckful
I remember this he was calling this gameplay throgue.
4 years already, damn, RIP Byron
man these reflection videos are awesome
the content we all wanted
Crazy how this was over a decade ago now, time really does fly, good times
Good ol' MoP days - forealx
The greatest player ever.
There is a reason Reckful was the first 3k arena rated player. Dude is a legend. Blizzard should have lifted their ban on him.
lol you seriously saying they shoulda lifted their ban on him when his boosting sponsor is literally on the screen
lmao the rogue throw spec, i remember that
Reckful basically playing a ranged rogue lol
im not crying
had something to do with the gcd, using redirect (combo points weren't static) and deadly throw having high crit and affected by sub mastery+6sec kick on casts. so many gimmick builds over the years
Look how clean everything is... compared to what a disgusting mess my UI has to be in arena right now.
We miss you Reckful R.I.P 😥
Can’t wait for TWW! - ACJ
down memory lane
RIP Byron. You are missed.
Still can't believe he's gone :(
get over it
I miss reckfull
All I could think while he was typing up that macro is "he would have died one....two.....three... times in retail by now.
Take me back to the more simple time
I think this rogue throw meta is blocked out of everyone's memory lmfao
Rip Reckful
it actually is almost easier to know whats happening without add ons. only thing i would like is trinket notifications or emblems for teammates/arena 123
RIP reckful
So many good memories in the MOP days… Reckful is legendary 🐐
Rip Byron

There really needs to be no WA. UI is soo clean and the game is soo different.
this was amazing
reckful was beast back in the day
