How Will This Week's Changes Affect the Meta? Midnight Season 1 Mythic+

Posted 3 days ago by PopularTopular

Raider.IO Spec Popularity in Mythic+ for Midnight Season 1 - Week of May 4thnerfs to Augmentation Evoker and Devourer Demon Hunter Depletion Rates for Season 1 Keys - Week of May 4thKeystone Myth title and mount Key Level Distribution in Season 1 - May 4th Mythic+ Participation per Week in Season 1 Disclaimers and SourceRaider.IO

Since all metrics shown deal with popularity, they aren't directly attached to spec balance, but to community perception of spec balance.

Specs considered bad by the community will generally be played less and tend to have lower participation.

Highest keys tend to have a very low participation, meaning specs played by these players will be overrepresented, despite any actual balance.

Wouldn't have clicked if I knew that :)Comment by STbWillyThe meta has been established. And Aug nerf is a joke. How is demo not touched? At all? The balance team screws the pooch every patch. Play the meta or don’t get invited! I am 3400 rated mage and in last couple weeks, started to get declined like crazy. Remove Aug from game. When Aug is good, in this case required for high keys, the other 40 dps specs are barred from entry. What a ^&*! idea blizz. After the thousands of dollars your players have paid over the last 20 years, we still get this bull@#$% tuning. @#$% youComment by PveMannoBlizzard thinking the nerfs to brew will do anything is comical and AI based tuning should be abolished.Comment by selkiesidheHey whats that yellow color off to the side? Must be a bug. There's no yellow class and certainly no yellow class in its death throes not getting invites and doing horrid right now...

(Also: no nerfs, just bring tanks up to BrM's level pleaaaaaase?)Comment by cheesystuffHey whats that yellow color off to the side? Must be a bug. There's no yellow class and certainly no yellow class in its death throes not getting invites and doing horrid right now...

Brewmaster isn't meta because Guardian did too much ST damage.Comment by ZangbangIt still amazes me that the meta still exists. Everyone should be able to just play the 1-2-3-4-5 classes they like be it tank, healer or dps and just push as much as their ability can. This game should be about skills and not the damn class. F the meta. it's the worse thing those online games have. People should be able to play what they enjoy and test them selfs as high as they can go not to be forced to play the meta.
Meta specs are dumb and shoudn't exist.Comment by lovelywazTitle: How Will This Week's Changes Affect the Meta? Midnight Season 1 Mythic+

Answer: We don't really know yet, but here's a wall of text to fill up quota for number of articles or something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Comment by Niko14Blizzard foolishly gutted the Mage’s survivability and CC, making Mages unable to survive in high-level Mythic+ dungeons. Then, when Mages gain extra damage from bug fixes, it suddenly needs to be nerfed, while Warriors don’t get treated the same way. The double standard is insane. This is one of the worst changes in the history of the game’s patches.Comment by Tommy3konly 3 dps and 1 healer "viable" at high keys.. better nerf brewmaster again.. what a terrible season so far. dead tanks, dead dps specs..Comment by veroshineBlizzard thinking the nerfs to brew will do anything is comical and AI based tuning should be abolished.
