The War Within Mythic+ Tier List Disclaimers and Sourceincomplete picture of balance

Specs considered underpowered are generally played less and tend to appear weaker than they are.

This happens as many performance-oriented players tend to play the strongest spec or class, increasing the gap between top and bottom specs even further.

Since all metrics shown deal with popularity, they aren't directly attached to spec balance, but to community perception of spec balance.

Comment by GodsFaithaug evoker needs to be dead spec for 10 years to balance out their dominance these last 2 yearsComment by FlanellRogues are 0,0001% counted together.Comment by SteparuBy no means DK, Boomie, Mage means they are meta. It is because PETKO made consecutive Tier lists before TWW S2 release making them look like the only S Tier meta while other classes EVERY single time out DPS these 3 NPC classes and often have the same if not better utilityComment by TOMRUSAll I see is how fast M+ participation is dropping because Blizzard refuses to fix this overtuned mess.Comment by Tecuer9Should break it down into percentages as well, instead of just raw numbers for completionsComment by CashmereWizardIts honestly not even that bad variety wise up until beyond +13, and thats ok. Its impossible to not have a meta.

Turn aug into a tank spec, full on useless in its current iteration. What a waste of dev time to make this spec only viable for half an expansion and they are too inept to figure out how to tune it properly
turn survival into a tank spec
remove festering wounds from unholyComment by LongsoloIts not as hard to balance as people think, people just dont want their classes changed. Its as easy as less utility= more damage, more utility=less damage. But that would hurt mage so blizzard wont do that lol meanwhile warrior is in its current state of not excelling at eitherComment by MautheThis is the least amount of fun I've had with M+ since it's release. Season restarts, if you are geared from the previous season, you are relatively free to time 10s without problem, the only possible in-dungeon rewards are useful the week before the first reset, after that you're just fishing for vault rewards for 3-4 months, while crafting perfect quality stated items. Completely de-incentivizing itemization.

There's no variance week to week anymore. Affixes are irrelevant. You are stuck with Tyrannical and Fortified on the trash and boss each week so there's never a feeling of...'Lets get this timed on an easy week' ... or feeling proud getting something done during a challenging week. It's all homogenized and becomes routine the second time you run anything. As every dungeon run is identical to the last, this has allowed the meta to be boiled down into a de facto tank and healer, with the tiniest amount of choice in DPS.

The problem with this is that any class re-balances will only shuffle the top 5 of the meta. Previously the affixes, Tyrannical vs fortified... really did a great deal of balancing for the devs. Week-to-week Tanks felt the affixes and each pull uniquely. That individual would have a preference for what healer they liked that week, what DPS worked better, etc. It was up in the air sometimes for weeks or months as the season progressed, people developed new strats... all without "balancing". Now the meta is developed by the end of the first week because everything around the classes has been made shallow and produced by sleeping developers. Please help.Comment by ClawmedaddyBy no means DK, Boomie, Mage means they are meta.

Wars actually have utility - bring AP buff, much better interrupt than mage, stunS, slows, rallying cry.
