Top players are gonna slaughter all the whiners in the forums regardless of class. So there is no need to follow a bunch of pleebs crying for nerfs or buffs.
But AWC is representative of how strong certain specs are. Top players are going against other top players. If there are any outlying specs in an environment where everyone is playing at the highest possible level, then there’s tuning that needs to be done.

Plenty of successful hunter’s
When there’s money on the line, do you really think teams will play the same comp into their counter comp if that was the issue?
Also, it’s not a counter comp issue when both teams have holy pallies and fire mages.
Funny how not a single one of them was in the tournament.

yah but should you really balance around people not usig their spec to it’s fullest capabilities to begin with?
They should balance around the best people imo
Like i’m still making big mistakes not fearing at the right time positioning bad at 2kcr so like if they balance around me disc needs a big buff to make up for my poor play lol

guy plays fire mage move on
Successful players. You mean. A good player will climb regardless of class, but the speed and representation will differ. Hence why Hunters are the lowest per capita class at high ratings and that’s in a meta where they should excel (MM being a burst spec and Sac Roar being absolutely amazing against Mage).
No just counter classes to hunter comps can take up a portion of the ladder and cause classes like hunter to be under represented and need no buffs nor nerfs.
Yeah no. That’s not how reality works at all.
Fire Mage can combo someone for 40-50k damage with 3 globals. MM combos someone for 20-25k damage in 5 globals and a 2 second channel.
Hunter is just categorically one of the worst classes in the game, and has the worst representation per capita on the ladder for that reason. It’s playable, and people can succeed with it, but it’s not competitive.
Consider that the hunter speck used is not the counter to a fire mage.
Ah. So the Hunter ability that literally disables critical hits against a target isn’t a counter to Fire Mage, a spec whose entire kit revolves around a cooldown that makes all their spells crit.
I’ll file that one away in the ole’ archives.
Ah so you just want everything that counters you or gives you struggles nerfed.
Also, on ladder more versatile specs (like fmage, awarr or retpala) are more viable because of bigger diversity.
Nope. I’d like specs to be balanced to a reasonable degree though. Instead of having Hunter/Demon Hunter being literally non-competitive and Fire Mage/Paladin being over competitive.
There are just more people playing counters to the classes you like to play on the ladder. So you are on forums crying for your counters to be nerfed.
Nope. That’s not how reality works
How the matches play out is not representative of ladder but the specs being played are pretty close.
