The game cant be balanced around method or top 200 guilds. Most people that raid dont even do mythic, and of those that do mythic in november only a very small part cleared HFC, so saying that the content was a joke is just wrong, since for the huge majority of the players it was not.
Again, locks have had 2 expansions where they were overperforming the whole time, as said earlier. It was in the past? Of course it was in the past, but its not like with legion you just reset anything that happened before. Point is, a spec/class being OP is not that unusual at all, and blizzard kind of agrees with this since they said that one of the reasons to keep us like this for now was because we have never been OP before, thus admitting that other classes have, SEVERAL TIMES.
But the problem is that you tend to think in a too elitist way. Shadow is indeed OP now, but not for everyone. What you dont seem to understand is that the huge majority of the players will never be able to play shadow the way you do and pull the numbers you do, not even close. S2M is VERY frustrating and penalizing for the huge majority of the players. If you check mythic logs based on 50%, shadow is basically on par with other classes, rogue mages locks hunters. Its 10% higher only due to xavius, allow only one s2m there and you basically even. So wheres the problem with Shadow? The problem is that good players like you abuse s2m in way it becomes OP. But the fix is not to nerf us so then you are on par with other classes while the huge majority of players will suck behind everyone else. An average player playing shadow shouldnt be far from the average mage or lock (which might happen if they nerf us too much). And a very skilled shadow like you shouldnt be way above other classes like now.
