Thoughts on the new meta?

Not sure why you're getting so aggressive. You literally can't carry like a melee can with lb. It's just facts I'd appreciate it if you toned down the hostility. No there's 5 or less ranged in the top 50 in aether. We have a ton of bad melee who can't kill people. Your data center =/= mine. I didn't say you couldn't carry I said you couldn't carry a bad melee. Please take the time to read

Except you can, and I've seen it happen. I've gone against MCH and BLM who have completely trash melee on their team, but since those two classes have so much burst potential and pressure then it doesn't matter. 90% of the healers who queue just don't know how to handle the burst that ranged classes and DRG's bring to the table.

And I can apply a condition to one role vs the other. If a melee is forced to kite, their damage drops to 0. They can't hit back if they're trying to kite / stay alive. A ranged DPS can still attack whoever they are kiting, and lose no damage in the process. It's much easier to kite as a ranged while keeping pressure up on the enemy team.

Ranged dps loses no dps while kiting? Yea tell that to my cast times. Having to drop wanderers to kite is the definition of a dps loss
