Skill doesnt matter anymore

Since shadowlands id say the more damage you do the more chance to win. doesnt matter if you are feral or SP want to make huge play and outplay the enemy DH dk warr or even lock, they will just press some bottoms on keyboard and you will be at 1%.
while other classes like frost sp feral and many other specs need to do 6 bottoms rototions and should not be interrupted and enemy target be still to manage to get him low enough to kill.
this game will never be a esport game

While you´re technically right, WoW will never be an esport because no matter class the skill expression is low making it piss boring to watch which is why wow arena never attracted a viewer audience. Its terribly uneventful to watch n there is no skillshots or mechanical outplays that people generally want to watch.

People want to see things they themselves cant possibly pull off even if they know how its supposed to be performed such as Faker on Azir from league of legends etc where as WoW is more like watching everyone play Garen.

Then theres also the balancing factor. Put a multi R1 player on the games weakest spec against a random rival player on the games strongest spec n the rival player is going to destroy the R1 player in a majority of cases because of how extreme the balance variations are between strongest n weakest.

Absolutely not. Even in vanilla, TBC and Wotlk it had a colossal impact on your performance

Played wow from 2005 and its been like this since back then related dmg

I guess the biggest skill difference related arena could say is on what all you could do to not soak 100k dps from something who just used cd, but what instead you could do to disrupt his cds, especially if you wander to heal shuffle you see people soak everything instead disrupt and kite

It’s not only from dmg but for defensive also with so much auto proc / passive and stuff usable in cc (people don’t need to trinket anymore).

A lot of immunity or things that makes you immune for a period in a relatively low cd etc…

Sure random big crit carry games but imo it’s a lesser problem that what I said above in term or outplaying people.

Exactly, in new age wow anyone is dangerous, even if chimp press buttons, and even worst if dice god bless them with crits in this proces they instant gib someone.

There is no longer bad players in certain class, and no players didnt evolved they are bad more than they ever been, but classes are designed that they cannot be played bad, so even if my mother who think WoW is somehting to eat play the game as long she can do her 123 she have chance to kill if crit god says YES. and on top of that you have those offensive healers, which contribute even more to circus.

I lost more games trying to playmake than just siting in back and spaming heals.

pace of game is very high -10% damage +10% stamina to anyone will be step to good direction.
