Are you playing hunter vs monk?
Or are you playing a team game where there are 42 possible specs and you can only have 8 of them on your team?
Look, I’m not going to waste my time arguing with you.
MW is busted on FC maps. If you don’t think so, fine. Stick to your premades.
MW is clearly busted on FC maps while you’re on the enemy team.
I don’t know if I’d say that MW is busted on FC maps in all possible scenarios though.
Y’all need lives.
None of the people in power are high enough rating to understand this / even care to change it. BoL getting them to change anything.
Hrm. Very interesting.
I understand MW don’t want to be nerfed, so don’t nerf their mobility or their teleport any further at all. The real issue here is that they are simply too strong in CTF maps currently because of their teleport. RoP makes it even worse, but by itself isn’t broken.
The easy solution, so that monks are not nerfed in other content, like arenas or PVE, is to simply make their teleport DROP THE FLAG, because its more OP than an immunity, which makes other classes drop the flag.
Teleport on monk in CTF is simply too strong, and this is at relevant levels of play, anywhere from 2.5k - 3k+ MMR.
Also, I’m tired of Dracthyr preservation evokers going under the radar, they are also busted and WAY WORSE than monks in CTF and also need a nerf bat ASAP for CTF.

So, I was here arguing that teleport was more powerful than their 6x torpedo prior to that nerf. Because it was.
Now that their Thunderous mobility has been removed though, while Teleport is extremely strong, I feel there’s a clear demarcation in each FC’s respective strengths, and with it a decent level of balance.
MW is the safest at base but mediocre at field-crossing, easy to intercept and kill without team support. Preservation & Outlaw & Veng are the best at field-crossing, while being relatively vulnerable at base. Feral is a jack-of-all-trades. Priest is the tankiest FC, but weak at map crossing and vulnerable to DK abuse.
MW’s map-crossing capability has been nerfed well below the likes of Outlaw or Pres. It’s slower at crossing map and more vulnerable while doing so, with its power only really coming online if it makes it all the way to base with port down.
Because MW is one of the least tanky healers with the fewest CDs, often just splitting offense with one camping their port can be enough to secure a kill with stacks.
Remove both thunderous & teleport and suddenly they’re a strictly non-viable FC option since they can’t even kite without teleport once the debuff kicks in and neuters Torpedo.
This sentiment always raises my eyebrows, having played both at a high level. Preservation is stronger at map-crossing (though Outlaw is even better, let’s be real), but once it’s at base it’s substantially more vulnerable, especially on Twin Peaks.
They’re fairly well-balanced against each other now IMO. And priest isn’t far behind at all, as long as there’s no DK to grief them.
