I think the MDI is cool but this whole warrior/druid/roguex2 is a snorefest. Can’t they do anything to make more classes viable in these top games?

You mean balance the classes? probably never

Tbh, if I were calling the shots I’d eliminate double dps stacking of classes.
But then again I’d also make them run the toughest/highest difficulty they could potentially handle so mass pulling isn’t possible and they’d have to use tactics with tough affixes. No softball run in my championship.
They could do something like add actual threat generation to warlock pets so they could be used as off tanks like treants and earth elementals. Same with hunters. For starters.
Agreed.

Unfortunately, some classes and specs are not meant to be in the spotlight!
Rpg’s by their very nature can not be balanced very well, the only way you wont get a meta is if all classes are the same. This is also why esports has no place in a MmoRPG. The MDI is also the highest min max bracket so you will see the same classes.
Personally i don’t care about balance in WoW as long as no class/spec rules tier after tier (cough aff lock 4 tiers in a row)
Another thing that i’ll add Pvp seasons 13,14,15 most likely the most spec friendly pvp seasons ever which are mop when classes had huge utility. When only a handful of classes/specs have utility those classes become very good at high end M+
I think the metas in pvp and pve speak volumes about the answer to this queston.
diablo 3 also suffers from deeply rooted metas, so I think it’s not something that’s so easily fixed. even if you strip abilities, or nerf certain aspects of a spec, a new meta will arise and take its place.
Perfect balance or close to it isn’t gonna happen.
But asking for 2 out of 5 in the metaparty to not be the same DPS classes/specs is far from asking for perfect. Out of how many DPS specs in the game?!

I know at this level there will always be new metas; but that is so boring from an e-sport perspective. They need to throw some wildcards in to mix it up
It’s a combination of several utility balance problems.
- Combat Rez being basically mandatory while at same time limited to 2.5 classes.
- Shroud being mandatory but limited to a single class.
- BfA dungeon design favouring certain types of damage and utility
- The mass speed pulling needed in MDI runs favoring certain utility and AoE dmg profiles (and not others).
