Weekly Trending

   

Overall Movement:

1507 percentage points!
   

The movement is equal to about the movement of the entire last season (17 weeks).  This patch (3.1) was definitely a game changer as far as class balance is concerned.

   

Largest Mover:

Warrior, which gained 699% from their representation they had as of last week (week 17).

  

Hot Streak:

None

   

Surprising Facts / Observations:

• Warriors gained almost the entire amount of representation they needed to be considered balanced, they are very close to balanced at the moment

• Hunters lost most of their representation and are now the weakest class in Arena (need the most % boost of representation to become balanced)

• Death Knights are the 2nd weakest class in Arena (never thought I would see the day)

• Rogues and Priests are the strongest classes and would need to see their representation cut in half to be close to balanced

 
Next Week Predictions:

• Warriors will continue to climb in representation as they get geared out and continue to perfect the Arms style of play

• Warlocks will lose representation as teams learn to counter Destruction Warlocks

• Hunters will gain representation as a few more standout Hunters break the Top 100

• Death Knights will gain representation (maybe more will spec back into Unholy)

Weekly Trending

    

Overall Movement:

134 percentage points

  

Largest Mover:

Warrior, which lost 33.3% of their representation from last week.

    

Hot Streak:

None

    

Surprising Facts:

• A lot of movement for the end of season 5

• Warriors lost an incredible amount of representation, especially given that they were already so low (they need an 837% buff to be balanced!)

  
Next Week Predictions:

• 3.1 is here and that means Arena Season 6 does not begin until the 21st, and I will be very busy the 28th, so I might end up putting up the 1st week of Season 6 a few days earlier or later than usual
