guess im not everyone, but still, rng is rng, you don’t know what u will find and now, and much like in league esport vs soloq, the meta changes at every rating, some things people don’t understand how to counter are broken at lower bracket and unplayable at higher rating, meta is just what is easier and not to climb the ladder not in terms of viability, not whats stronger and not, in different context 1 class can perform better or worse, mage for example for how i play it its a joke, because i want to play rated bg, and it lacks damage pressure, or even ccs, mage ccs are nothing specila in bg, since lock can slow everything, and ring/sheep/db breaks on everything
mage only shines in small teamfights like 2v2 3v3 like seething shore, but if you get an eye of the storm how is mage gonna be viable ? you can only steal bases with a rogue, but then again druid can do that too, and he can be stronger in mid teamfight too, so, mage doens’t bring anything to the table
ask yourself as a rated bg leader, why would i pick mage when warlock can:
beat him in damage pressure
beat him in single target damage
cookies to help healers and entire team
gateway for everyone
more ccs, coil, shadowburn, summon infernal, fear that doesn’t dispell SP/LOCK dots or heal/break instantly on aoe fights
same goes for SP, while it might lack the single target burst, wich im not even sure watching some torrent bursts, he can MC people down eots, dispell, more aoe, and enemies cannot dispell because of vampiric, target calling mind games.
mage is strong in a context, and is not in another, thats why im pushing for soloq, ive been playing this game since 1.12 and i took a break only during WoD, and ive been playing a lot of pvp, i got my 2.2 during mist of pandaria, but since then rbgs were never really a thing, and ive always played as a solo player, nowdays, rated bgs are competitive once again, and i can’t go above 1.9, because im literally sitting 5-6 hours lfg x day, just to enter a team, check them out and none of them is 1.7. i just want to be able to queue and play the game i pay for
so everytime we spend energies time and make constructive critism only to be deal the usual TLDR from the community and getting ignored by blizzard, well frankly we are all kinda tired.
the next patch pvp gear changes, don’t solve anything for pve, its basically a nerf to pvp gear, and that might make pve gearing better, but what people shouldve pushed for is actual pve vendor, or stat choice, or a better pve gearing system, nerfing pvp gear wont change a thing, it wont fix boosting issues, mayeb they will go down A LITTLE, but it wont fix it. everytime we make a step forward we make 1 backward, and thats how this game has been for the past 10 years, 1 improvement, and 1 huge negative pain in the butt.
