It is intentional

Let’s be real: all these specs performing badly while others dominate? It’s 100% intentional. Blizzard isn’t just “bad at balancing” – they know exactly what they’re doing.

Why? Because we’re all addicted to WoW anyway. Blizzard knows most of us won’t cancel our subs; instead, we’ll either jump to the meta spec or just stay casual for the season. This keeps the meta rotating and gives players a fake sense of “freshness.” On top of that, it forces people to play alts, keeping early-game content alive for those who get caught with an underperforming spec and have to grind for levels and gear.

I think Blizzard’s taking notes from companies like Riot, who constantly shake up the League of Legends meta. The difference is, in League, the meta shifts are more subtle – you don’t see roles that perform 30-50% worse in raw numbers. It’s usually smaller differences in utility or playstyle, not such drastic gaps.

So no, I don’t buy that Blizzard is just bad at balancing. It’s not an “Oops, Rsham’s Link 3m CD is so strong people skip hit kill mechanics in M+ with it, meanwhile Rdruid’s Tranq 3m CD is so useless we’re not even spending a talent points to get it… oopsie doopsie!” Nah, this is all by design. Blizzard wants us switching specs and leveling alts, whether we like it or not.

Should have a GoFundMe for every class. Then whoever gets the most money after a month wins and becomes OP. Whichever classes raises the least gets all their abilities disabled for the month.

I’ll take my cheque now, blizz.

There’s, what, 36+ different specs in the game now? And two different “hero” talent trees on top of that, as well.

All with unique spells and playstyles.

You try balancing all that within ~2% of each other, lol.

It’s bound to happen.

Lol, why not just use WoW token? The more token in your bag the more power-up you get?

who cares , you can bit the game with any class and spec

They definitely intentionally make their AOE bad, thats not even up for debate.

SLT and trang are the only metrics to judge those two healers by. Truly a wise take.

I never said, nor even imply, that these are the only metrics. Your ability to understand text is very low, very basic. To take an example as an instance of absolute…

hilarious to resort to insults after your rambling tinfoil nonsense.

When games go account based, instead of character based, there is less incentive for balance.

Probably skill issue, I find classes are pretty balanced. In m+, the issue is the difference in ultilities, which can’t be helped.

Hypocrisy? Maybe not, you probably can’t see how… It’s not your fault, tho…

I’m sorry, I’ve never heard this conjecture before. Do you have any examples?
