80 vs 85?

[Dye]

Looking at making an 80 or 85 twink US server. Would like a general overview of both brackets in terms of queue pops, balance, etc. if you participate in either Or both I would love your input!

warlocks and hunters are OP at 80 but the ques don't pop as cataclysm is now the baseline expansion so those who do not have MoP (like me) are automatically locked in at 85. .

Which makes 85's pop like 10min-50 min ques.

The classes...well DK Feral WW monk, Ret(which has subpar survivability) are all extremely good and will top dps charts. Warlocks are prlly the only good casters at 85, mages behind them and every other caster is meh.

Healers are garbage because they heal for 1/10th of HP with the 60% fatigue...you can still heal just expect to die 1vs1 vs a DPS like a hunter or a rogue unless you pop most of your CDs.

Rogue and Hunters...well..its another story they basically have 40-50% crit and uhh kill you in 3-5 globals so if you are into pwning loads of noobs while rolling your face on the keyboard...well also rogues and hunters are the cheapest to gear.

You also cannot die as rogue 1vs1 unless you literally screw up because like stunlocks n stuff

So for 85 does horde or alliance need more players? What is the win loss ratio at 85 between alliance and horde?

alliance is almost always stacked with fotm like pancakes (there is literally* not a single game that isn't filled with rogues hunters or DKS or any of the mentioned above FoTMP

Alot of the more geared players switched to alliance too because they arena and being human with double trinket is BiS. But alliance as a whole doesn't really give a shit about winning, just heads straight to the gy

There are plenty of horde fanboys tho which only play horde so..yeah...and

inb4 horde fanboy I have an alliance aswell .

Surprisingly horde wins more but has like 2x less the amount of geared fotm twinks

id honestly say warlock is the 3rd most fucking retarded class 5 button with insane CC/damage if not more retarded than rogues sometimes(depending if you are a caster or not)

MW monk is actually very good with survivability, believe it or not, WW is also insane on the damage side, if you run WW with a decent healer I believe you could get very high in the arena bracket. I myself am currently making a monk, deciding to make it 85 or 70, we'll see.
