Classes that don’t have to stand still have a huge advantage. Take the number of abilities you have to stand still to use, multiply that x10, that is your suck quotient. This has been a problem since launch.

Giving better gear, to better players. This is probably the dumbest design choice in the history of gaming. Best basketball player in the game?, we’re going to enlarge the hoop when you shoot. Please don’t branch off into other sports lol. Gear rewards should be cosmetic, PvP should be standardized gear. You win because you’re better, and your rating and appearance reflects that.
I was ahead of the gear curve very early on, because I leveled via BGs, and had a full set of gear the second I dinged 70. For that first couple of days, I was literally unkillable. Now of course, with melee/insta classes getting into conquest gear, I’m just another speed bump for Fury/Havoc/Marks.
There is a reason why games like Counterstrike et. al. are so successful, the playing field is even other than skill. The move to try and normalize gear in leveling BGs was a step in the right direction, but this is still too much variance due to party sync and other scaling equations. I’d argue that lower level PvP is worse now than it was in twink days.
Dear Blizz. As a side note, I love this expansion, it’s fun. But go make say…something people think is OP…like a resto druid. Haul yourself out to a bg at like level 45, and see what happens to you when a hunter or a DH are around. You apparently do not budget for, or give any stock to, classes that are all insta, it’s a huge problem.
this isn’t a thing
better players have the exact same gear available as everyone else.
you too can have conquest gear
the issue is class balancing, not gear acquisition or ilvl
rdruids are op relative to other healers, and so is dh damage. non max level pvp is fairly meaningless

gear inst the issue, it never is, its the same issue every time melee is horribly OP, there is to many classes way to OP, healing is to strong, to much CC, still to many classes that are way to Meta and have a clear advantage over other classes and blizzard never does anything about it, only tunes the classes that don’t need tuning and never fixes the issues. its rinse and repeat blizzard and its one of the biggest reasons why PVP continues to be a garbage mode that barely anyone actually does, due to how gated and unbalanced it is, just makes for a miserable experience.

Uh, what? Gear is not ratings locked anymore… everyone can get the best pvp gear equally. 
Bro you play a warlock… i do too it’s my main alt. 2 specs are just as OP as anything you mentioned, or very close to it. Hate to break it to you, but it might be a L2P.
The light at the end of our tunnel(ing), would be the lull in Tuning and updates was due to the Holiday season.
Next week will really set the stage for the season IMO.
Not sure what you’re on about. Honor gear is easier to acquire than ever, and it can hold its own against conquest gear in the right hands.
