Warlocks and Hunters: Shadowlands Season 3 and 4. I'm waiting for the release of the excel computer program from blizzard - for laughs ofc.
Nice nerf
YEAR OF THE SPEAR
I mean it only tooked 2 destro warlocks in a few keys for blizz to actualy nerf them, now we have 3 survivals in keys doing 30's .Yep keep this up, maybe this time a proper balance will come, similar to what they did to destro, then ww, then fury and ret pala. and then u can see some more variety into keys.

Buff everyone else
Warlock wasnt outdpsing anyone by miles, it was just doing SV dmg (current sv hunters) and they got destroyed with 20% overall nerf. (20+20 in aoe) Also in single target (about 5% loss) Devs buffed ST destro going into S4 and nerfed them in an "ok manner" and now they literally killed the spec, while nerfing other outlier - Hunter by 4 %. There are also monks who if in right hands will destroy overall meters. But the most hate was sent towards the locks, who were NEVER in dps meta. (legion aff wasn't cause of dps btw.)
Getting pretty tired of seeing the same comps everywhere, it makes blizz rightly look like fools for the MDI after their supposed balance passes...They're gonna have to narrow the gap a lot more between the best and worst to see more variety in-game and in the MDI meta-game.
3 Survival Hunters! That's when you KNOW a classes spec is B U S T E D.
Hunters are range class Blizzard! Because of your broken balance you made that aberration of a hunter class "survival" to become top dps, and now everyone have to use it.That basically why after playing ~12 years on a hunter I have changed my main to a druid.
SV and Lock:180% Avg AoE -> 140% Avg AoE100% Avg ST -> 140% STProblem solved.Now they have been nerfed to be better than everyone at everything, instead of just extremely better than everyone at one thing. Amazing Job. Bravo Bliz.
I see alot of groups with 3 hunters. Nerf warlock!
This is why I stopped doing M+, especially since I pug everything. It's impossible to balance classes (especially with all of the borrowed power we have right now), and it's impossible for the average person to keep up with the revolving door of meta specs, but the community has started to believe that meta impacts every key, even the 10's and 15's I'm doing, where every class/spec is absolutely fine. People believe that whatever the top 0.01% is doing is the only viable option, and it's so frustrating. The only way Blizzard could fix it is to make it like Challenge Modes, where gear is scaled to a specific ilvl, with that ilvl fluctuating based on the the level of the key.
Maybe some people should analyze the group completely, instead of complain.For example to use only one dd spec is very smart, so you can align bigger pulls with their CDs very easily.Also to use 3 SV hunter buffs the whole group in bigger pulls. SV is played mostly as kyrian, the covenant leggy buffs the whole group with 10% crit for 10sec and every kyrian hunter gives a seperat buff. So when you stack them you can have 30% crit buff for 10sec for the whole group. Thats helps the tank and heal tremendously at doing dmg or healing too. Of course it also helps the SV hunters to do even more dmg, BUT with the amount of crit they can generate as a group every spec could do massive dmg when played around their CDs. You will never see SV perform so exceptionally in random groups, because most tanks plan pulls around their own CDs not the CDs of the whole group.
So surely if Blizzard see this then they must even admit that the class is just broken..
