    Is PvP dead?

    I came back after a hiatus myself, as I'm now mainly interested in Yu-Gi-Oh. Few things I noticed.

    - It seems the majority of players are not even fully geared, and most that are aren't even in Tier 2. These aren't bad players either, these are Gladiators and what not.
    - 2200 in most brackets are top 30 oO

    It's as "dead" as WoW is. It's as "dead" as ever since BC!

    This season has been incredibly imbalanced, so I think the player base has likened this season to S5's "Army of the Dead in Arena" and said that it's not worth PvPing unless you're a Hunter/Lock.

    Yeah... hunters and locks are clearly the most op classes in the game right now. I can tell that you know alot about high end pvp

    Clearly I was talking about the beginning of the season.

    RBG's are slowly killing off arenas. Randoms are full of bots.

    Not dead but it's still in a pretty bad state.

    And if you by some miracle survive the shockwave you will sit in a fear until you are dead.

    Cant really tell how 5.2 will be right now but its looking like it will be the exact same thing with another class being retardedly op instead.

    Thats just the way the cookie crumbles!

    Random BGs are pointless/dying due to Blizzard's inaction against bots, burst/CC is as high as ever, or higher, and there are some classes that are just plain overpowered. Warrior is one. Arena participation is down across the board, RBGs are infested with wintraders. You decide if it's dead.

    I'd say it's not worth getting into PvP as a healer, anyway. Battle-fatigue buffed, Resilience DR in 5.2, PvE trinkets coming in for DPS, etc.

    When you queue into KFC 9/10 games yea I'd say arena is dead for now

    I don't BG due to the ton of bots.
    I don't RBG because I can't get a team for it.
    I don't like arena.

    PVP feels dead to me. I understand that doesn't apply to everyone; but for me the PVP elements could be completely gone and it wouldn't change the way I get to play at all.

    Currently playing Borderlands 1 remaster. Amped for Borderlands 3.

    those 5.2 pve trinkets are strong as hell for healers as well.

    pvp as a healer is a great ordeal, if you're up for a challenge.

    it hasn't been no near the imbalance that was s5.

    and OP, your title is just silly.

    The healer trinkets are not nearly as strong. I am a healer, and I'm far more worried about 8k main stat procs than I am with being able to put a shield on someone that'll absorb one Mortal Strike hit at best.

    Arena participation is down 80% since S8. From ~117k teams to ~25k teams.

    RBGs having nearly double the cap of arenas, combined with basically no rewards from arena bar gladiator, are probably major factors.

    Not to forget that due wintrading, RBGs were by far the easiest way to get T2 gear and hey, who doesn't like free gear?
