I just want to take a moment to say, that after all the hullabaloo before Shadowlands about how broken one covenant or other was super OP and that everyone was going to be “forced” into one, the actual representation, even among those rushing for mythic first, is actually pretty equitable.
I don’t mean that as a unholy dk there aren’t some “better” places than others, I just mean across the board, things are pretty even. People were so hyped about everyone having to go Venthyr because of door of shadows, remember? And then it was Kyrian for Pelagos. But here we are with actual diversity. Imagine that.
And now I’m off to my Night Fae, where everyday I can scream “I am a beauuuutiful butterfly!” (thanks to those of you who get that quote)
people pick covenants based on active ability, not secondary. It varies from spec to spec, but absolute majority of each spec picks bis covenant.

You misunderstood me, not everyone is picking the same covenant. Of course some people are going to pick “bis” (but not everyone). I wasn’t saying that “all 4 covenants are equally represented in frost dks” but that across all classes all 4 covenants are well represented.
according to wowranks.io (which pulls from the blizz api)
Total:3,545,570
NF: 1,150,859
Kyrian: 1,020,122
Venthyr: 811,372
Necrolords: 563,217
not sure how you figure things are “pretty even” when night-fae have double the population of necrolords. the second most popular covenant has 20% more people than the 3rd most popular. and the top 2 covenants have 2/3rds of the population.

But they’re not lol. Where are you getting your information from?
Some of that is probably due to the aesthetics of Maldraxxus as well though. I don’t have any numbers to back this up, but I would imagine that the zone appeals to the smallest portion of players.
It’s BiS on my resto shaman but I still went Night Fae because I love Ardenweald and don’t want to spend any more time in Maldraxxus then I have to.
Frost dk is terrible, who cares what they pick. They all be pushed to play unholy
