I think you’re wildly stabbing at the air trying to guess what the actual reason is.
In less than a year you’ve posted over 10000 times on the forums Kennie, I think it does.
You say that like I’m not mid blitz/arena/shuffle/key when I’m postin’ bucko
Is that why people sometimes afk at the start for 10+ secs?
Nah I flame or post while en route to a base never when the game is startin
Also idk if there has been a single season where I’ve queued as many games as you 
Idk 2s died significantly more with the implementation of shuffle. I feel like it’s a pretty good reason for its decline. It was always the chill take it easy bracket for the most part. Shuffles just been the primary reason for the decline of both brackets. Why bother finding people and networking when you can just q up.
I’d hope not considering you play DPS.
Haha, yeah.

no real rewards, and being off meta. no point to play
The meta hasn’t changed in like 15 years tho

gonna be completely honest i didn’t know 2s actually had Glad (the mount and the R1 stuff) tied to it. I always thought it was just 3s
2s used to be a bracket for casual players to grind out Duelist in, then RSS happened and siphoned most of the casual players out of it. So now 2s is basically competent - good players only playing the top 2 or 3 meta comps.
So there’s little incentive to play it if you aren’t either a great player, or playing a hyper meta comp.

So long as dps healer remains infinitedly superior to double dps 2s will be dead and I will never queue 2s again (used to run ret bm all of bfa AND SL)
All I know is… sometimes I turn on a stream… and I’ll see r1 players vs’n each other at like 1800.
The bracket is super damp and super sweaty.
Us muggles can’t compete in that stuff.
2s should make a HEALER AND TANK FREE BRACKET then add eviroments damage and things to add some chaos to the gameplay…
Like a darn gladiator arena…npc tigers and lions fire…hail…stuff like that…call it. COLOSSEUM!
2s started dying in DF when double dps became very difficult compared healer/dps. TWW made it unplayable even for mage/rogue.
Some drooling dps/healer team can beat most double dps simply by existing. Played dev/arcane alts to 1800 for sets with a friend sweating our asses every round. Miss a kick, leave a gap in CC, don’t press defensives perfectly: you lose. Swapped to dev/healer, I was in half greens on my hpriest, first time playing since SL, not pressing half my buttons, eating CC for free and we’re playing 2k MMR after 10 placement game wins. If you watched my POV you’d think I just picked up the game.
It’s an absolute joke of a bracket. Incredibly comp dependant, even more so than 3s. If it wasn’t for the lack of participation, rating would be sillier than shuffle.
I still play it for fun since I find double dps so much more engaging than the slow rounds in 2s and 3s with healers. Rating there is as meaningless as BGBlitz.

2s is peak wow pvp.
Also this
2s had glad/r1 until cataclysm? Maybe wrath
5s had glad/r1 through mop
3s currently is the only bracket with either now

It doesn’t and hasn’t since…Furious, I think? Or maybe Relentless. Soooo…16 years ago?
^ This, you of course need rewards at the very top of the ladder to encourage participation at the top of the ladder. There are TONS of very high level 3’s and RSS players that would likely do 2s if it had unique rewards for say the top .1% and .5%. Without those players participating, it compromises the integrity of the entire ladder, all the way down.
