So, representation = power? By that logic Paladins, Shamans, Mages, Druids, and Hunters need nerfed, too, yes? I mean, since they're all so prevalent in those comps it must mean they're too good! Nerf 'em, I say! TO THE GROUND
yes
no

Yep.
But everyone's biggest worry is that Blizzard is just going to do what they did to Warriors last expansion again. Maybe worse. They have already moved to remove Gag Order in it's entirety in the PTR build instead of just putting the silence on Heroic Throw, so that is really discouraging.
You know, Paladins are only second behind Warriors. Since Wrath of the Lich King, Paladin has been one of the most played classes in the game right beside Hunters. Maybe they should be nerfed, they obviously have something that other classes don't have that makes them fun to play.Yes, you need a nerf.
I simply can't believe some warriors (over 50%??) didn't realize how ridiculously broken they were. Like, reality check?
No, we're not "ridiculously broken". I play many other classes in PvP and I can tell you that killing a warrior isn't that difficult if you know what you're doing. Is killing a warrior a walk in the park like it was the last 3 years? No, but nor should it be. I'm wearing plate and wield a very big stick. That should mean something. It didn't mean shit in all of Cata and the very first month out of the gate when we're actually contributing to comps and are a commodity the community lemmings up and cries foul since they can't just blow us up in 2 globals anymore. If anything we're finally in-line with all the casters out there CC'ing/macro-splodin' the everliving hell out of everything in their path. This game has been so caster-cuddly in the past 3 years (well, wow in general is caster-friendly, but I digress) that it's about time Warriors were a threat again. They removed our Gag Order glyph for you pansies and made us cc'able in Avatar form as well. I hate to tell you this but the days of hanging back and fear bombing/ice lancing us are over.

Anyone voting no is a buffoon. Defensive stance + second wind has to go, the combination of the two is grossly overpowered.
I still get killed off my other classes on my warrior, i don't see the problem, yeah i can burst someone down in 7ish seconds but that only if the starts align and allow me to do so. I've always thought learning to do stuff better is a more productive alternative to crying and complaining so i don't do it. This coming from someone who has seen every face of the warrior, from vanilla to mists.
The ability to adapt separates up from the chimps, so are you a chimp or a man? Suck it up and L2P!

I got charged by a warrior when I came off the graveyard in WSG. He charged in and did shockwave->HS->melee->MS->HS->CS->execute (377k overkill) before the stun ran out. All this while being immune to CC (luckily that is being changed!), and me being in a stun for the duration. I only have 5.5k Resi, but still.... No other class can do anything near that with all CDs popped, except maybe hunters who also need a serious check-up.
48 warriors are bad and doesnt realise it
So what? You put forward the same reason for every single other class to be powerful.
Nope, there have been several ridiculously OP melee classes at different points too, e.g. feral most recently. Rogues were also pretty deadly when it came to pure damage output. SPs and frost mages were pretty powerful at different points in Cata, and frost did need the nerfs it's received. However, certain classes being OP at one point doesn't justify continuing the poor balancing forever and ever, and it is the arms race between mages and warriors which has screwed every other class over. So yeah, wearing plate doesn't mean diddly squat anymore.This game has been so caster-cuddly in the past 3 years
Nope, it isn't really. In fact with the amount of stuns, pushback and silences flying around in WOTLK and Cata, it was anything but. It's instant-friendly.(well, wow in general is caster-friendly, but I digress)
Start trying to work out who deserves what, and before long you’ll spend the rest of your days weeping for each and every person in the world.
silly double post
I vote priests and hunters, especially hunters, to be nerfed. Why all the attention on warriors? Yes, they're op a bit, but hunters for example deal a lot more damage right now, and shadow priests and feral druids heals are way op, but for some reason nobody cares about that.
I bet those people who want nerfs to warriors right will say things like "they're okay now, they're finally killing dolls like we need them", when warriors will get nerfed to the ground and become the worst class in the game like it was in cata. But no one will cry out that warriors will be overnerfed, no, it will be totally okay. A lot of people said warriors weren't the worst class in cata, those are the people who are crying right now the they get killed by class they used to faceroll. PATHETIC.
3/5 of the classes you mentioned are hybrids and have 2 or 3 viable arena specs to 1 warrior spec(while all having a healer spec which is required for any arena team basically,) and are still outnumbered 2:1, and in some cases, 3:1.
Warriors make up 9/10 of the top comps in arena, and 20% of the overall population R50 and up on every BG according to AJ.
Yes, that is too good.
Also, posting this on the warrior forum makes the poll incredibly biased. Post it on the pvp forum and it will be 95/5.
It's not even the damage that's overpowered, warriors are near unkillable. Out of some ~200 games all between 2.3-2.5k MMR as enh/war/hpal, I don't think the warrior on my team has been killed a single time due to the ridiculously strong defensives(mainly being able to passively take -25% damage, second wind, and amazing ways to get away from damage.)
20s CD shockwave also needs to be looked at.
