The current meta from SL and DF are WAY too bursty. There is no sense of trading cd’s anymore. You simply run in and do your pve rotation, you can’t rely on a trade of a defensive for an offensive and play around when they will come off cd. Some classes this is gamebreaking, others it doesn’t really matter.
We currently have lifetime melees who have never achieved over 1600 rating sitting at 2000 rating in SS because of this zug meta.
It’s not enjoyable. It’s the reason healers don’t q SS. It’s the reason there are 2x the melees than casters in SS.
Why is there so much love for melees and none for casters? Casters thrive in a slower meta where they can have more control. Instead, we got cc nerfs a patch or two ago. Do all of the Blizz developers play melee classes when it comes to pvp? Why is there such an absolutely insane imbalance that has NEVER existed in the history of wow.
Think about that, wow has been around for an incredibly long time, and it wasn’t until SL and DF that the pvp meta has been so bad. It’s basically PvE at this point, you run in and spam all of your offensives and do your pvp rotation. You are GREATLY rewarded for just doing your damage rotation. Most casters are punished for pushing into the enemy line to cc to the point that it’s not worth it the majority of the time. How has pvp gotten to this terrible state?

Crazy thread. BFA was the worst expansion for PvP, bar none. The worst.
the best it’s ever been.
Perfect? No. But the devs explicitly understand the crux of PvP which is that people need to die.
PvP may have been better in some past seasons, but I don’t think there has ever been as much conscious control and correct design in PvP as there has been since Shadowlands (which is otherwise one of the worst expansions ever).

I do miss corruption at times.
ever since they made that stupid “players must die” statement they keep making kill potential easier and easier.
used to be I would introduce people to pvp by healing.
Now DPS is by far the easier role and for some reason the ladder is deflated and nobody is playing.
hmmmmmmmmm maybe its not really that good
,y shuffle rounds last a minute longer this patch.
Damp meta for RSS? The game mode is designed to just run in and pop everything. That’s why dampening ramps so quickly in shuffle rounds
