World first underpowered rogues and mages.
I like this.
Some EU ladders are finally getting updated. EU-Emberstorm ladder has been updated once since MoP release.
A little bit of lul.
Warrior: 342 = 19.64%
Paladin: 231 = 13.27%
Shaman: 229 = 13.15%
Hunter: 226 = 12.98%
Druid: 207 = 11.89%
Mage: 190 = 10.91%
Priest: 172 = 9.88%
Warlock: 62 = 3.56%
DK: 47 = 2.7%
Rogue: 19 = 1.09%
Monk: 16 = 0.92%
Total in survey: 1741
I imagine hunters to go further and further down in the coming weeks now stampede is absoloutly dog. Or atleast, hunter teams will stop queueing and other teams will slowly start overtaking. I imagine mage representation will overtake hunter and maybe druid too, as people swap more and more druids for shamans. Warrior and Paladin will probably start dropping too, as more casters start filling the ladders now hunters aren't there.
Only 2 ranking changes as of tonight. Whoa shaman!
Warrior: 336 = 19.4%
Shaman: 246 = 14.2% +
Paladin: 233 = 13.45% -
Hunter: 216 = 12.47%
Druid: 199 = 11.49%
Mage: 193 = 11.14%
Priest: 162 = 9.35%
Warlock: 63 = 3.64%
DK: 50 = 2.89%
Rogue: 22 = 1.27%
Monk: 12 = 0.69%
Total in survey: 1732
I thought druids were supposed to be all the rage as far as healers go. Are a lot of the paladins ret or something?
Nah, I saw this coming. Paladins have amazing synergy with burst comps and the freedoms are great for melees, meaning that KFC / Bleedcleave used Paladins. Now Hunters/Warrs have incoming nerfs, their representation will drop taking Paladins with them.
Shamans are the best healers atm, they were only poorly represented at the start cause they have little-to-no synergy with hunters/warriors. Now hunters and warriors are being nerfed, shamans will be the best healer for all the mage/spriest comps.
Druids are good and all, but they die too easy to a clean swap from any mage or warrior, in comparison to shamans / paladins.
This time in 2-3 weeks, I see Hunters being below Mages / Priests / Warlocks. I see Warriors dropping a little more and Druids being overtaken by Mages. I'm calling it.
It's been a couple weeks and Blizzard cleaned up the some of the exploit teams off the ladder. So, here's where we are now, looking at the representation of classes on the first page of each battle-group's rankings:
Warrior: 276 = 18.02%
Shaman: 241 = 15.73%
Paladin: 198 = 12.92%
Mage: 191 = 12.47% ++
Druid: 162 = 10.57%
Hunter: 143 = 9.33% --
Priest: 151 = 9.86%
Warlock: 99 = 6.46%
DK: 42 = 2.74%
Rogue: 15 = 0.98%
Monk: 14 = 0.91%
Interesting to see hunters hang on like that. Rogues now less than 1%. iWolf went 2 for 3 on his predictions. Not bad :-)
Shaman: 241 = 15.73%
Great for us shamanplayers, oh wait i dont play resto. Then what is the % if you play enhancement? 0%!
Shame hunters are getting nerfed so hard because blizzard couldn't fix a freaking bug during beta.
edit: also, poor rogues. i feel their pain.
can't really use that as a class balancing device as many people are sitting on their rating for various reasons.
So close Damn Warlocks y u no playing!
My new prediction:
Ferals are getting more popular, all the druids who got replaced by shamans will either reroll feral OR get taken back into teams by people who drop shamans because of totem changes.
Warriors will drop again, to about 15%. Paladins will drop. Hunters will drop
Mages, Priests, Warlocks and DKs are gonna go up.
