    WoW PvP, worth coming back for?

    As the title states, is PvP worth coming back for? (Am fully aware of how subjective opinions are). Long time player and finally quit a little while after Heart of Fear was released. Has there been many changes to WoW PvP or is it business as usual?

    Skilled players still dying to insane burst in the first few minutes of a game, so nope, hasn't changed; just the classes that can achieve this easier.

    Buddy of mine linked me this video and I think it kind of sums of this season pretty nicely (you can see RMP's damage in the 2nd game too so you can see that the other teams are indeed also bursty):

    since PVP is always secondary on blizzards list it will never be worth coming back for

    tbh playing some random fps games seems more an more compelling, no grind, no imbalance, no fotm reroll.
    aside from the new content with an addon shits not worth it anymore

    I'd suggest you look into the game 'Forge' on steam, it's a pure pvp game with MMO style combat. The game cost 20 bucks, and resubbing to WoW would cost you 15, so it's about the same one way or another (though Forge is a one time purchase so you wont have to pay again next month).
    The game also recently got an update +free dlc, probably worth checking out.

    Pvp is critically damaged, way beyond what Blizzard is willing to fix in their little content patches. But on a positive note, theres a good chance they will learn from Mops mistakes and do a proper job next xpac. So its likely PVP will be worth coming back for, just not for about a year and a half.

    sustained damage is no longer in pvp. its all about cooldowns.
    When a healer pops cooldowns, they are unkillable, without cooldowns it depends on class and if the dps is popping anything.
    When a dps pops cooldowns, its almost certain that they 1 shot someone unless that someone uses his defensives to protect.

    So its just beyond stupidity. id prefer tbc over this crap easily, back then cooldowns werent that big of a deal because the game was balanced around sustained damage so cooldowns made the gameplay kinda unbalanced for few seconds, but they had longer cooldown so it wasnt like you were 1 shotted once every minute.

    Well, don't they always say they will fix it next expansion?

    Thats pretty much what i didnt want in my PvP. The saddest thing is, i dont enjoy any of the current alternatives on the market for RPG PvP gameplay.

    I would say nope, I have come back for it and it's probably the worst I've ever seen PvP. But on the other hand, I am having fun with my friend, but some situations and stuff that happens is just ridiculous..

    Im a casual pvp player, I play PVP just for cap my conquest, and I know pvp is not perfect balanced but.... from what I can read on this post and from many others, ppl who play dps blame the healers due to be considered unkillable, other ppl crying for high burst dps, someone just take every class saying how OP is, but.... if we are all strong on dps and healing why is not considered balanced?
    Take a look what I quoted, is not a contradiction?

    There are people that hade made a lot of calculations and the information is out there if you look for it. It is a fact in this expansion that it is very imbalanced.

    Depends on if you're already full S13 or not.

    This thread comes up every season and every time it's the worst season ever, op this and that, blizzard sucks, etc. If you've been away long enough you should have free time from blizzard. Just go try it out and make your own decisions.

    I think 5.3 overall will make it a lot better. Problems it created that stil need to be fixed: World PvP and PvP power/resi gems.

    This is true also though. Coming from someone who played max level PvP since season 2.
