from what i witness so far i believe is caster meta…tbh casters are not even casters at this point…every “caster” now is everything instant…frost mage? spam ice lance…destro? spam conflagrate which is making same dmg as the chaos bolt…ele shaman?literaly only instant casts…what you guys think?
idk solo shuffle is random but in 3s over past few days i saw different comp every game so not sure, i would say its pretty balanced right now but after assa nerfs more casters might come to play.
both are strong. Game is pretty balanced tbh. Disc is an outliner but not unbeatable strong. Prevoker/Rdruid dont feel significantly weaker tbh.

I think there is more diversity in arena now than we´ve seen in a very long time and i feel like most things are fairly viable. People obsess too much on top ladder presentation n seemingly forget that they´re not playing at the top of the ladder. Seen alot of DK players whining about unholy being unplayable since the nerfs n yet i feel like DK is still fantastic.
The way people seemingly rate class viability is two categories. S++++++++ tier and unplayable trash tier with nothing inbetween. The classes i see the most frequently currently is arms warriors n BM hunters. I still encounter far more melees than i do casters but i think casters seem to be in a solid spot atm, solo shuffle is always going to favor melees due to the nature of the gamemode.

Warlock+ele/frost mage backed by a disc priest is meta, and it’s a horrible stand afk do most dmg in the game and spam fear meta (and no skill defensives that are pressable even if stunned).
1300< melee, 1300+ caster.
Melee cleave is far more visible at 1K<
Upowards its lock/mage spam
I think if you have a destro lock or a frost mage in your team is a dub for sure
Currently playing at 2k3 ± i only see 90% melee and hunt , most of them dh/war and a lot of hunter (mostly bm).
Very few frost and arcane a bit of ele and 2-3 boomy in like 100 rounds.
Also disc mostly 90% and the rest is a mix of the other healer (a lot of rsham this week I was really surprised).
I would say it’s caster meta. especially in higher mmr lobbys but you can play some melees too
Its warrior ape planet meta

if this isn’t caster meta idk what is. facing either a lock or a mage every single lobby, ideally both same time and I can’t move my frickin character
But they will tell you its a meele meta cause they are just stupit using there deffs and movement right.
Connect once? jokes on you, alter time, and because alter time isn’t enough it resets a blink. also premium points for facing locks without having a curse dispeller in team, perma 100% crit reduction sounds very fair to me
Below 2 k in RSS it’s meele dominance and above it’s 1 and rarely 2 meele and the rest casters.
The 100% crit nerf is with the amplifying curse (40 sec iirc) the debuff isn’t permanent.
I think we’re moving towards a caster meta, I am seeing alot of casters now, loading into Tol’viron or Mugambala and seeing all casters, I might aswell just AFK, My only chance is to roll with a giga burst build and hope I can blow 1 of them up, SS you don’t have the communication required with your partners to prevent you kited into oblivion and blown up.
recent game I had Destro, Frost Mage and Fire mage. went 2-4, I had done half the next person’s damage because it was run out, press offensives CDs try and land a kill, then pillar hump because I just die in the open, even with a short kick and Grounding, I just can’t connect so just waddle eating Chaos Bolts or Glacials. Pain
100% caster comp, unless you in a lobby with DH,WAR,
quite balanced but i feel like its slowly leaning more and more towards caster or range melee comp meta
I face more casters than meeles and im only cspping on 2.2 mmr
