warlock is the worse class to play in arena atm the least represented class in 2’s and 3’s
your point being? something is always the least represented class.
my point being is a pure dps class with 3 dps specs and all 3 are the least represented
Point is warlock in general is outdated only reason warlocks are good these days are due to borrowed power abilities.
They nerfed corruption slow and now affli locks are extinct
But that’s not true for 2s?
And in 3s it’s close enough to some other S tier classes or it’s even more popular than specific specs.
Even demo seems to be pumping right now.
I agree, I met Jazggs (https://imgur.com/a/h5gjUJx) at ~1,8k and it was annoying to fight him, it’s like he is pressing 2 buttons only… Of course I do know it’s more but it feel liks fear → cb rotation, he is basically standing in the mid doing his PvE rotatiton and porting/kiting on enemy team go’s.
Was watching his stream at some point and it didn’t look better from his pov, so I kinda understand why people don’t want to play locks, meanwhile destro seems the most popular spec for locks rn even tho I’d call it the most boring one.

And for majority of Legion and BFA Warlock was one of (if not the most) represented class. You cant be top dog all the time.

No. That only happened when corruptions hit which was 8.3. Prior to that Warlocks were again one of the least playes classes in arena and they were suffering from the same issues (they were worse in BfA ofc).
Overall, despite having 3 DPS specs Warlock IS the least represented class in arena.
And in 2v2 only DKs are less represented than Warlocks. Warlock is the 2nd least played class in 2v2.
He said that’s the case in 2s AND 3s. This is evidently wrong.
Of course you want to argue it’s the least played class in arena because otherwise you could not make an argument. Regardless, all 3 specs of locks are viable atm, I know it’s hard to understand that not everyone likes the class but it does not make the class not viable.
What is this even supposed to mean? It IS the least played class. This is just a fact.
Any class is viable if played by the good players. Person X can hit glad with all specs in the game but that doesn’t mean the spec is on par with others.
Ok… one more time for a warlock main:
THIS is evidently false.
Exactly.
It also doesn’t mean the spec is bad.
Okay, answer this question.
Since you put it in a way like this “Look at Destruction, 2 button spec, destroying people and just sitting in the middle of the map”.
Despite this, why is it the least played class in 3v3 and 2nd least played in 2v2 and almost non-existent in tournaments etc.?
Because it’s obviously dull af? Building shards and spamming fear into 2 CBs is not fun playstyle to most people, unless it’s beyond broken, like in BFA.
I am not saying it’s THE strongest class but the moment you can boost people with it, you have the undeniable evidence the class is not weak.
Ah I see, BM is not dull hence its the most played spec in 2s but Dest is. I see.
I kind of feel bad for you but that’s not the point of this pointless conversation.
Have a nice day.
So much for the “brain size of a bean”.
Interesting, I thought the same, especially because you obviously lack reading comprehension skills, trying to defend a class just because you are bad at it.
Because Warlock is extremely boring and slow to play in general. Creating a Warlock feels like playing Classic / TBC and leveling in Barrens without a mount.
Still, that doesn’t mean it is bad. I keep on facing Ele / Mage / Boomy + Lock teams in 3v3 and they make my life miserable.
I would rather face melee cleaves, RMP, and Jungle all night than to face Lock teams. That’s how much I hate them and how much trouble I have against them.
Demo is actually viable right now, and might even be the strongest?
Since Warlock is the least played class in 3v3, i doubt you “keep on facing” this trio. Unless you are quite high in CR and just facing the same team that plays this comp.
It’s worse than Dest because Tyrant hits around 5-6k per hit and its a cast and you can kick the Tyrant, fear it, stun it or at worse just get behind a pillar. Tyrant is VERY slow and once LoSed it actually becomes cluncky and doesn’t even attack.
Dest is always better. You can somehow just lend 2 CBs and put pressure.
im actually glad they are so bad. fighting warlocks is not fun for anyone lol

How is it fun playing against a condemn spamming warrior or a bm hunter or a one shotting rogue? at least warlock dmg is obvious once u see darksoul he will cast a chaos bolt which can be stoped with interrupts/stuns/kicks/fear
Not saying Warrior, Rogue or BM aren’t insanely strong right now, because they are.
But Warlocks are equally painful for me. Of these 4, Rogue is probably the easiest one to face right now, at least for me.
EDIT:
Random video of Warlock in 3v3 not dying to melee cleaves:
