So i’ve come back to to retail, and honestly loving it very much. But I cant help but notice how the 2v2 bracket seems completely broken and braindead. Somehow ONLY healer-DPS is viable.
How come the 2v2 ladder is more dynamic and has more comp setups in TBC than in midnight retail? I feel like this is kinda unacceptable..
Do you have some numbers?
Well, in TBC you have S tier healer-DPS comps AND S tier double DPS comes.
Retail seems to be 100% DPS-Healer.
I mean actual statistics
How would you even do that? There is no such thing as arena teams in retail.
Why? Are you contesting that double DPS is viable in retail as it is in TBC, wotlk, cata etc?
I just want to make a objective comparison? I mean I see a lot of prot pally + rogue / rogue + mage in retail too.
And after all its always good to not rely on just feeling alone
tbc double dps = rog + rog/mage/lock? wow
double dps isnt viable its just rogue completly broken being able to play with anything because they are 2 expansions ahead
2v2 is just a cringe melee fest rn where they play dk, ww, hunter or dh with a mistweaver or h-pala, or rogue priest or demo lock healer
There are several others, Cata and Wotlk also has maany non-rogue double DPS comps.
Warrior + Dk with shadowmourne?
Because they bloated each spec with defensives and self heals so its harder for some double dps to kill anything on the brief window they cc heals
what a dogsh*t post, if u don’t like 2v2, then don’t play it, problem solved, stop crying, thanks
It’s because in classic nothing exists besides 2v2, so ofc classic players will make direct conparison
2v2 died as soon as Blitz and SS got implemented. Each bracket needs it’s own set of balancing, but Blizzard won’t do it because it would require some level of effort.
Classic TBC has 3v3 and 5v5 also.
They should add a solo 5v5 queue to retail with the option to duo queue
healers should do 50% less heal and 100% less damage to balance pvp
Back in my days (bfa) double dps was viable and i would play 2s for fun. Now i’m worried i would lose against a decent healer 1v2. 
I’ve been asking for quite some time for 2v2 solo shuffle style with DPS only. But people whine that the bracket will be dominated by rogues and paladins. You get shorter games, 4 rounds that result always in 1 loser, 2 draws, and 1 winner, and super fast ques.
But guess what, they introduce that bracket, we’re finally gonna see some good balance changes, because data won’t be skewed by the power of a healer.
He says he likes 2v2 and he likes retail but 2v2 on retail is dogsh*t, because you enter the arena and you wait for dampening to turn the healer into support…
