Cdew, or Xaruy, were already playing back in Vanilla. I won’t spend time researching who did and who didn’t, but these two happened to say it a couple times already. So, I’d say “yes, I think so, they even said it themselves!”.
Because as I said way less players are familiar with, and good at playing Demon Hunter than Rogue. Just have a look at all those multiclassers in tournaments. How many have played Rogue on the competitive scene during the last decade when it’s not their main ? How many did manage to get high ladder rating as Rogue even though itns not their main ? I’ll let you count for yourself. Then you can do the same with DH. I’ll spoil the results though, the number regarding Rogue will be much higher. Simply because many more players are familiar with it, used to it, good at it. Some players do play DH at the same high end level as other play Rogue. It’s not about the level. It’s about the number of people who know how to play at that level. If there were as many Rogue players as there were DH players and Rogues appeared more then you’d make your point. But that’s not the case, the people used to playing DH well are fewer in number.
Funny how big balance changes happen just before and after big LAN events then. Maybe you should apply at Blizzard, you obviously know how to do their work better than they do, and would align very well with the “cater towards the casual” attitude some of their staff seem to have.
It’s not irrelevant. It shows what are the results when every class is exploited at its maximum with same conditions on every side.
Besides, on ladder, gear is indeed not the same. Who’s to say the RMP are the ones with the best gear and not the DH players ? How are gear differences relevant here ? One game you’ll have advantagew the other you won’t. It evens out. So yeah, the ladder would look the same. Oh and one more reason ! People tend to play with the classes they have and know. At least in top ladder. I would have much better results if I kept playing Rogue when it’s bad rather than leveling a Warlock from 1, gearing it, and learning it, even if it was downright OP. That’s the case for a great amount of people. Of course I’m talking relevant rating, about abyone can reach 2k with any class as long as they know wow.
Not made by you obviously, or it would be catastrophic.
And this is why your numbers, your statistics, are horribly wrong. DH has only one arena-able spec. So you may count DHs. Other classes, not so much. Imagine saying Druid is in a perfect state just because Resto is op so you counter a lot of Druids. That’s one third of arena Druids. One third and you’d say the class is represented and thus fine. You’re just horrible at thinking in general. MM Hunter may be a spec but if zero players are able to play it because it’s bad it doesn’t matter whether or not Hunter in general is well because SV is suoer broken, one is ranged and the other melee, they are different specs and don’t even have the same role. Someone like you would be quite terrible at balancing this game if you believe as soon as a class has representation it’s fine entirely.
