It's another example of how Bungie has doubled down on PvP in D2, I think. Without the so-called "god rolls", PvP performance is a function of speed and dexterity, rather than luck. Removing specials and stickies similarly removed guile and strategy from the equation. Basically, if you're fast, you win. If you're slow, you die. Fast people will be delighted, slow ones would be wise to avoid PvP.
