How? This shouldn’t be possible. It shouldn’t be possible for me to face 3 of the same broken spec at once. The upcoming ‘nerfs’ are trash and DH will still be busted. I just wish the people that design this game actually played it and for even a second could understand how frustrating this is.

I think basically how it works is it looks for players all similar cr, all different specs.
But the priority is getting people in games and lowering que times. So eventually it broadens the requirements - range of mmr, x2 x3 of one spec. Especially since there’s so many people queing the same spec. They have to get games eventually, so the system will just place them together anyways.
Not sure if it’s a necessarily matchmaking system issue, mainly just bad class tuning and letting DH be so overtuned for quite a while now.
For sure, just seems like if people want to play the fotm specs, they should have to wait. Make them wait to the point where the rest of us have decently matched games. Just as there is incentive to play a healer for quick queues, same should be the case for dps. While it is to some degree, it’s clearly not enough.
The game should just prioritize 2 melee and 2 ranged over anything else. Those matches are by far the most balanced and enjoyable.

I’m convinced at this point that 90% of the devs actually main DH
There is no other explanation for this kinda of lunacy in class tuning for DH

This is not a surprise right? I mean we experienced the 10.0.7 ret terror and triple ret lobby back then wasn’t rare at all.

Surprised? No. That it is still happening though is disappointing.
My guess is they just look at numbers. If any of them actually played the game and cared about it, changes would happen much quicker. So they probably see the numbers and see participation is high with a spec and may even think its a good thing. “Player activity is up with DHs, better not change that.”
lol thats so unforch
Technically it shouldnt but sometimes thats just how the dice roll.
Agreed. Even if boomy was more popular I’d rather sit a Q twice as long to not have another boomy in my lobby, much less 2.

For fun reasons I get this but it’s ludicrous from a competitive standpoint. The one meager thing wow threes have to discourage ugly depths of fotm abuse is the guarantee that any sufficiently op comp will have to win mirrors to climb past a certain point
I wish I trusted the balance work these devs “do” enough to like this system, but

you should need to pass an extensive background check in order to verify that you aren’t a fotm reroller scumming up the ladder if you want to queue as a DH in solo shuffle
in fact, every class should have to do that if class/spec participation goes above a certain threshhold

Okay, that’s a good point and I agree. I hadn’t considered that, but tbh the only thing stopping from DH having like a 90% winrate is that they have to fight other DHs.

The consequences of easy leveling and quick gearing; ladder becomes infested with the overtuned spec of the week within days.

I had a double DH, PROT lobby yesterday. It was the most uneventful fun I’ve ever had.

Yea, I haven’t que’ed much recently. Everytime I do I keep getting double dh match ups. Curious to see if todays changes do anything. Would assume not. Glad to see some small buffs for sv and enhance, but assuming it will be about the same. Still haven’t resubbed yet.
this is why we should limit the accessibility of pvp queues to these people
you should only be able to queue your top 3 most played classes freely. any class beyond those 3 has to have a playtime of at least 150 hours in the current season in order to queue
if the class/spec you’re queueing as has a participation amount over a certain threshhold you have to have a base amount of overall time playing as the class and spec in order to queue

The SV buffs were significant.

Stumblin is right. We must save blizzard developers from the hell of doing their jobs and making the game fun-by any means necessary
Jesus, I don’t think I even hit that on my main class.
okay, it can be 50 hours now that i think about the fact we don’t play for 24 hours a day 7 days a week
your main and the 2 most played alts are barred from this time threshhold and you can play them freely
