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)
