so +20 is the new +15 now? wonder y participation declines rapidly beyond +11... "skill ceiling" probably, while some claim fun ceiling.

We'll accept your resignation, Ion. Inting depletion of the sub count ain't cool.
Blizzard screwed up hardcore because instead of immediately nerfing the specs they went "lol, next tuesday we're going to nerf it" so everyone just slammed in as many keys as possible on one of the easiest weeks of the season.I literally went from having all +23s to 8 timed +24s and 5 timed +25s in a single week. My IO score went up 150 points.
This season is i wouldn't particularly dead, but it's like on it's last leg, like, i main Spriest this tier. Yes, it's Meta but i was planning on playing it before the meta existed for it. But even as a meta spec you're still going to struggle as a dps spec trying to get into keys, that is unless you're aug evoker... Even having basically all 22s/multiple 23s, i still struggle to get invited to the +23's i still need, let alone getting into 24s. this season has singlehandedly proven that if you do not have a push team or people to reliably push with, you will not make it to a certain point without hours of sitting afk in que praying you get invited, my roommate is a very good example of this, he switched to maining Aug evoker, Never really done higher than i wanna say 22s and even then barely did them, was a Pvp andy, but conveniently was friends with 2 CE Raiders who also can push 25s/26s/27s and higher if they so pleased and got invited to run with them in their keys and he went from 2500 io to 3300 basically over night. Aug evoker was such a terrible add-in mid season that it practically broke the season, and i've since grown an immense hatred towards it because of that factor. They are essentially a dps spec with high priority invite compared to literally any other season where, although they were meta, they could be substituted for, but now everyone wants aug the moment you even get to 18+. This season is miserable. and it needs fixed.
All the comments saying nerf fire mages so yourself a favor and stop embarrassing yourself
Luckily I have all +20 portals, and for 447 Vault loot you only need +16, so I don't really care for this balancing issues anymore this season. Of course, I could switch my Druid class specialization to Guardian and easy get the 3k rating, but tanking in pugs is awful.
