We are pretty good on boss fights, but we are kinda unwanted in PVP (bad damage and utility) and mythic+(no aoe utility, like DH aoe stun and sub/assa do pretty bad and inconsistent aoe dmg)
Sub does inconsistent aoe damage? Did you even play sub in m+ content? Sub doesn't need rnd procs for aoe like assassin.
What both specs need is the legy cloak+shoulders to be competitive in aoe thats true.
What sub is good at is everything. Assa may beat it in ST in 7.2 and can be good in aoe when bomb procs, but once the mobs live long a enough for a full duration nightblade and you can spam shstorm+eviscerate after dotting everything up.
Sub's aoe is very good. Even boss fights with tyrannical are good as sub because you hold your +1mill dps unlike other classes who fall down after their cd's end and often the boss is dead before they come back up. My shadowblades often last a full tyrannical bossfight thanks to the bracers.
As Sub with cloak and shoulders only real hard aoe classes beat me and not with a big gap.
Rogue is no where near under performing.
Under performers are Unholy, Destruction and Enhancement. (Source: WCL)
Those are not classes, those are specs.
You're comparing a whole class to single facets of other classes.
Who cares is unholy is meh ? Frost DK's are excellent.
Affli lock is probably the most OP spec in the game right now, why would you want to play destro ?
Shamans...yeah...enhancement is not exactly great but then again there are two other available specs...
Rogues as a class are not exactly great at this right moment. They're ok'ish, but there's not really a single segment in the game where you could say they really shine.
Rogues do the shit jobs, that's it.
pvp is really terrible in legion for rogue. if im not working towards some pve content i used to find time to do the casual bgs and when i play rogue i play like 2-5 casual bgs in a given session (Draenor). i don't do this anymore in fact the last time i did a casual i remember a specific over powered demon hunter ripping my characters face off so its an unwanted experience altogether. subscription declining time spent on character decline during legion

the experience is under performing we all want draenor subtlety back

Rogues always follow the same pattern in nearly every expansion. Mediocre or slightly above average in earlier tiers, and then overpowered by the final tier because of blanket buffs and blizz adding some op trinket. But to be fair, assassination was quite powerful throughout nighthold progression at least. As for rogues underperforming, I think it's more about Aff locks and Frost dk's being too strong rather than rogues being too weak.
Yeah pretty much. Now I am not a pro pvper or anything, but we are indeed pretty bad, at least in lower arena and random bgs. When I play my rogue(main) it doesn't matter what I do, I just can't keep up against specific classes, like I use up all my cd's and the target's still not dead. But when I log onto my dh I just faceroll all spells (literally) and win.
Now, we can keep up with many classes to be fair, but I srsly have no idea how to beat a DH, frost DK or paladin as a rogue.
don't feed the troll. He's admitted several times that he doesnt play anymore and if i recall, he's not played legion....
Rogue is fine, if you're losing to your competition **in every fight**, then find out why. Rogues may slide behind on some fights for various reasons, butt overall are easily top 5 (out of how many dps specs?)
We are not 100% top dps on every fight, but definitely the best focused ST with frost dk and afflock(and i usually beat ours), with ridiculous survival and utility.
