Agreed. I'd argue it doesn't even need a rework; it needs a rollback.

It's nice that the shiny new version is bringing in the hypetrain of interest from new pvpers, but the lack of balance and skill for a competitive game mode is laughable. They could, at minimum, go back to queueing standard compositions of 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 melee, 1 range.

Granted, there's still room for skill and competitive play in with the revamp, but with the addition of things like LBs that have a % chance to 1 hit KO, it's clear things have been heavily skewed away from it being a mode where players are expected to learn, progressively get better, and derive any satisfaction from it.

Like you said, it's much more about catering to heavy participation, instant queues, and "fun" rather than a small, but core, PvP community who took an interest in the mode beyond daily roulettes.
