You take petkick who has been rank1 since dk existed and plays with some of the best players in the world and determine that what he says is correct?
If panzerhenk comes out and says mw is fine etc etc every other mw is just questionable does that mean mw is infact perfectly fine because right now he has 3 mws sitting at r1?
Take the average player of each spec and ask how much effort does 1 need to put in to reach x and make your own decision. What petkick says isn’t completely wrong, dk isn’t bad it just doesnt compare to other melee. Why and who wants to bring a dk when everything else brings more to the table?
The fact that in both regions there are only 2 dks in r1 range right now says more than enough for me. You are free to make your own conclusion. Please also bear in mind that the dk sitting at r1 on the eu ladder is for some reason queueing only at 5 am since October last year :))))))
