Dks are garbage in 2s WW outperforms them in every single possible way.
Nothing else to add just stating the obvious.

In what world are DKs great in 2s? Im using my entire cc to setup a 6 yard bounce while getting disarmed by a WW every pillar of frost cd. I have no movement no ccs outside my legendary and blind to setup up chill streak. There are zero dks in the eu2s top 100 and 1 on NA.
Dks
Dont have mortal wounds
No movement
Predictable easily avoidable damage
The list goes on… Dks are not good in 2s

Yes.
DK is currently balanced, but it’s balanced as a 3v3 support class that primarily exists to enhance WW monks or Arms warriors.
It’s very unsatisfying from the DKs perspective to have 90% of your value being relegated to spamming roots+grips for your WW or Arms partner.
For 2’s id reccommend playing a Deaths Certainty+Rune of Sanguination 2h FDK build.
And play with a Ret pally.
You will be a damage sponge, and your build is designed to do nothing but spam Oblit+death strike.
You will survive while dealing mediocre DPS.
The ret is your get out of jail card, and the ret will carry most of the kill potential.
You are there to face tank, interrupt, enhance his uptime, and deal what damage you can.

Representation does not immediately indicate a class’ strength. Do you happen to have footage of your gameplay that we can analyze? DK is an incredibly powerful class, so it would help use see where you’re struggling.
How can’t you move, don’ you have ams for roots+wraith walk, and death advance passive immunity to snares?
Representation strongly indicates a classes strength, more competitive players want to play better classes. Why else would humans, orcs and night elf be the most represented races? cause they look cool?
Also I told you what I’m having problem with:
-Forced to use all my cc to setup my only damage a 6yard bounce
-Lack of mobility
-predictable damage WW can easily disarm my pillar of frost.
-lack of utility, no mortal wounds.

well WW outperforms basically everything in 2s right now so yeah
Dks value is entirely relegated to spamming roots and deathgrip to enhance the uptime of MDPS with kill potential.
It’s not a balance issue, DKs are balanced from a 3v3 perspective, it just feels bad.
People didn’t roll DK to be a support class.

Yes… the fact that all armor is created with the human model in mind has more influence over human’s high population than the power of their racials does.
It has some indication… but there are many variables at play here that you can’t just ignore.
Correlation =/= causation.
It’s easier for me to asses your struggles in video format. None of those weaknesses are exclusive to DK. Many classes only have damage in CDs, many classes lack mobility, barely any classes have mortal wounds, etc.
Dont reply to Bloomsday, ignore his profile and move on.

Everyone will tell you the game is balanced around 3s and not 2s but I don’t consider « balance » as let’s « gut a spec once every month ».
Did you play BFA? UH DKs were almost everything you saw in 2s, and frost DKs were non existant. I think they did a good job at balancing the two specs, but there are some clear outliers compared to other classes (ret, warrior, etc.) , as there always will be. Although, in 3s, I believe they are at a right spot.
Shrinking to lowest played melee in 3s is the right spot?

Ww also outperforms DHs in 2s as well. Just think of them as fotm.
Well there’s always going to be a most played melee and a least played melee, so that’s not really an argument…
And also I don’t know where you take your numbers from. From US servers on arena mate if you set rating in 3v3 to 2k+ they are in the middle of the pack for melee specs in terms on class representation, dominated by warriors, monks and paladins. DKs represent 8% of the melee classes excluding tanks at 2K+ in 3v3.
In 3s using arena mate for both EU and NA dks only out represent DHs. How is that middle of the pack?
