Despite great class balance, high-end WoW Mythic+ queues punish non-meta comps
From the moment World of Warcraft Dragonflight started on November 28, 2022, this expansion has been known as one of the most versatile and class-balance friendly expansions among the players. Over time, the class diversity took a nosedive and now we’re back to square one—only a handful of specs having a blast while others sit in endless queues, hoping they’ll be one of the lucky ones.
Looking at class popularity across all Mythic+ runs at Raider.IO’s leaderboard from July 17, we can see that pretty much all specs are evenly distributed. Retribution Paladins and Shadow Priests are still the clear favorites with their pick rate being at least 4.8 percent.
