Ven is the goat.

can he be objective?
venruki cant even take me in 1v1 brs only on Guardian

In all seriousness this would be horrible, he has an insane completely unreasonable bias for mage.

The pvp dev doesn’t have free reign to just make whatever balance changes they want.

I scrapped over a million comments on you tube and over 10,000 Questions on reddit over the last 2 months in social listening market senitment research on WOW arena related topics for fun. I have NPD, neromarketing and psychological customer satisfaction training. I would 
on any of you (including Venruki who clearly has no idea and would just regurgitate the community instead of actually making the game good) if I was a WOW dev this game would be greater than ever before.
The people you want to be lead PvP dev are the ones who can take feedback from players.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard Ven say he was wrong, nor do I think I’ve ever heard him accept an alternate viewpoint unless it’s from one of his friends who are either better at the game, or in a position of influence.
I could be wrong, but that just sounds like a dev that’d do what they want and assume they’re always right. We have had more than enough of that.
I’d take Xaryu long before I ever took Ven, and Xar doesn’t even play retail.

Ven is way too negative.
My vote is for Supatease.
Yasssssss so he can put his s0face all over patchnotes
Venruki plays almost every class in the game, has a passion for PvP, is one of the few people still covering PvP and trying to come up with solutions, and imo has a good outlook on the state of PvP and what needs to change.
He mentions mmr issues, rewards, and low hanging fruit blizz could do to improve PvP. It’s doubtful he would ever be a dev but I think he would make a great one.
His love for PvP is obvious and that’s what we need from our devs.

“The trouble with market research is that people don’t think what they feel, they don’t say what they think and they don’t do what they say.”
― David Ogilvy
Ever notice how we have a pandemic of rose tinted glasses after every expansion comes out and everyone wants things back from other xpacks they previously complained about and they will complain when things get fixed wishing for the old days again. Customers don’t know what they want you need to find out what they want by other means then asking and responding to feed back and even then you need to come up with solutions that don’t lead to negative externatlisties in the game and for other groups of people.
Most of the videos from Supa and Ven are insanely surface level low hanging fruit ideas like fix MMR, fix queue times. None of it ever goes beyond the game just feels bad - Why? - and that answer is always somthing so obvious like damage of this class is too high, this spec is toxic and over represented etc. NONE of that actually gets into WHY players are unhappy and leaving. I could write a PHD length disertation on how trash blizzard is.
