Common Mistakes

The most frequent mistakes made by  Feral Druid players who have reached 1,845+ rating, based on automated match analysis.

Used Skull Bash but did not interrupt anyone. Missing your kick is bad on two levels. First, your interrupt is on cooldown for 15 to 24 seconds depending on your class, so you can't stop anything dangerous that comes next. Second, because of Precognition, the enemy player is now uninterruptible for a few seconds. So not only can you not kick them, your teammates can't either. They just get to freecast. If you're a melee tunneling a caster, your interrupt is one of the main reasons you're even a threat to them. Casters already have an inherent advantage because they can position wherever they want and always deal damage. If you're getting faked constantly, you're removing one of the tools that makes you dangerous to them. You don't want to be the kind of player that's easy to fake. You need to play the mind game properly and not be so predictable that casters just bait your kick every time.

Used Maim but did not hit anyone. CC, especially stuns with fixed cooldowns, is how your team generates momentum. If you waste one, you're locked out of a chance to build momentum for 30 seconds to over a minute depending on the ability. Without CC you can't set up kills. Momentum shifts in arena come from CC chains and coordination. Every time you let a stun or trap get wasted, you put your team behind and take away your own ability to create pressure until it comes back up.
2.4x / game
Mighty Bash was available for over a minute without use. Arena matches can last just a couple of minutes. Some end in under one. If you're holding onto your CC and not getting it out quickly, you're not building momentum fast enough. The teams that win are usually the ones getting the most CC out, the most offensive usage, the ones that get stuff going straight away. Every CC you use is a chance to swing momentum your way, force a trinket, or lock someone down long enough to create a kill window. If you're sitting on your crowd control, you're missing out on additional uses over the course of the game. The total number of times you use your CC matters, and holding it for too long cuts directly into that.

Died with Frenzied Regeneration available. This is probably the single most common mistake that leads to losses in arena. There's no worse way to lose a game than dying with a defensive available. It's the most frustrating thing that can happen, even in serious rated 3v3 with a proper team. Nothing tilts teammates more than watching someone die with cooldowns still up. If you had pressed it and stayed alive, you stay in the game and maybe you win. Dying like this is the most avoidable loss condition in arena and it should be the first mistake anyone tries to eradicate from their play.
