That is so true. I'm a big fan of Priest and Rogue classes and Priest/Rogue comp in general and last season I did 1700 with a Disci (not easy compared to other setups) and the only arenas I've enjoyed where the skill-based/CCchain one. (Mirror best example)
Every Sham/Lock was automatically lost the exact moment the gate opened (no matter if resto, warlock was enough for 2v1, and why not, with ****ing succubus, just to **** even more on you).
-Pala/war u can kill only trash one, because every half brained pala rushes with sacrifice and the other genius shouts non stop 50 yard range while rushing priest, then 2x crits in a row and you are already dead (priest or rogue doesn't matter). If you survive you have to turtle game pillar for infinite minutes to get what? A loss. Gouges gets dodged/blocked 24/7, landind a double fear is almost impossible and sapping pala is definitely a joke, warrior saves always berserk rage or trinket and then intervene, or pala trinkets not even worth trying. You don't do pressure, priest ooms, warrior on a corner shouting and pala on the other corner consacration so no restealth and no drink..just a waste of time, or u land a kill at beginning with a nice opening or it's pretty much lost. Hpal/dk is cancer I don't even need to talk about it.
-Disci/feral can be done but feral burst too much rogue and peels like mad his priest.
-Moonkin and Elemental kiting you for eternity.
-Beastcleave rush with 100pets, bloodlust, tremor totem, bestial wrath, orc race obv cuz more pet damage then one-shotting Priest..
--And obviously the fantastic Mage/Priest comp that can keep u in CC for like 20-30minutes while the other partner dies.
These are the only setup we faced, we did 1k7, bought some gear and then stopped, it's just unbalanced.
This setup that I used to enjoy and was strong back then, now is pure trash imho. Maybe someone remember kamiky some season ago, ended with 1k8 rating 2v2 with turaxy. I don't know if disci, and I don't know if they just stopped at 1k8 but still had a "sad laugh" watching that rating...
Definitely some classes need buffs, and rng removal, its obvious you want to try a new setup but get stomped by the FOTM comp all over again, and then u reroll FOTM aswell.. Then you check ladder and there is ALWAYS the same comps playing, pala, dk, war, elemsham... They should premiate not the r1 overall, but the r1 of each comp. Could be a nice idea and will motivate for sure players to play different comps.
