Right yeah I think I was just being dumb.

I don't have it but I don't imagine it would be too useful because:

1. It's only a chance
2. A heavy to the block is still gonna deal a fair amount of block damage so I would always try to go for the dex anyways, even if I was in the corner.

Could be up to basically 50/50 chance, which is pretty high, and useful from getting caught in various situations.
Backed against wall and harder to time your evade.
or Game lags right as opponent starts his Heavy on you and your controls don’t even let you evade.
or even just being caught flat footed by a Heavy you weren’t anticipating.
etc.

You’re not purposely just standing there blocking, and hoping the StandYourGround kicks in, but is useful as a safeguard (and a useful place to put mastery points in order to unlock Willpower anyways, better that PerfectBlock which is next to it).

The only real advantage is AWD, as people don't expect it. Other than that, no use at all. It isn't a reliable fail safe.

I like running willpower, so I picked up stand your ground. if I get caught, it always seems to trigger, so like having it

There was a point in time when I did find it useful, but if you really want to progress as a player, you should almost never get caught with a heavy - even against the wall. I found taking it off and having to deal with the effects of being caught with a heavy, forced me to have to learn how to avoid them, instead of hoping on RNG.

I’m super confused. Is stant your ground one of those coming soon masteries or something?

lowlevelplayer

It has saved me countless times. You also need the points for WP anyways, so most people have it.

I think you’re better served putting points into physical resistance, it helps minimize chip damage.

that's a fair point, but personally, it is a very rare occurrence to get caught with a heavy, and it really only happens in somewhere like arena where I'm probably watching something on my monitor and I'm distracted. I don't particularly care for any of the other masteries that I don't have, so I like having some points in there for a saftey net when I'm not doing anything that needs a safety net? did that make any sense lol?

edit: oh yeah I also love willpower no matter what people say about it, so I need extra points for it

I actually might try that. how much does it help?

If you are a new player then it would be beneficial to have it till you learn to memorize the heavy of all champs. Once you have the heavy of each champ then use the points somewhere useful like despair or MD or deep wounds

Polygon

Physical Resistance is the way to go if youre running willpower

winterthur

I am taking 4 points out from it and put 3 in MD and another in DW.

Going to be costly.
