So… checking wowhead and looking at the various runes coming in phase 4 was enough for me to quickly realize that Blizzard has failed miserably (again!) in even trying to balance the classes for pvp. Unless Blizzard actually wants a class like warlock to be an absolute crap class in pvp in Season of Discovery, while other classes like for example shamans, rogues and paladins should be extremely OP (at least compared to affliction and destruction warlocks). If that’s Blizzard’s goal setting, then I have to congratulate them, because in that case, they’ve actually succeeded!
Of course… the runes and other class changes aren’t finished yet… things can still change before phase 4 starts. But anyone hoping that Blizzard might actually start even trying to balance the classes for pvp in Season of Discovery will likely be sorely disappointed. Blizzard doesn’t even seem to think about making pvp fair for everyone (for all the classes).
There are probably many players who actually wonder why there are pvp servers in Season of Discovery when pvp here is nothing but a big sad joke.
Either Blizzard should do their job and fix the major problems that exist in their game, or they should consider if they should start converting all pvp servers in Season of Discovery to normal servers. However, I really hope Blizzard is competent enough to consider the first of these two options.
