Not been following this entirely, but was there a single team in the championship that didn't have Shaman as a healer?

10/10 healers are Shamans, yes. They simply outshine every other healer by far. Maybe god-comp druids can compete, but probably even there shamans are better. It looks like the best option is again Shaman/Lock + currently strongest other class. Only Yaspresents doesn't play Shaman/Lock out of the top 5 teams.

There were 2 teams with a holy paladin but I think they both swapped?
Doesn't help that the AT was held in S11.

Should just force all of them to play disc priest.

My point was that I don't think we've ever had a situation where 1 healer has shined so much above the rest... ever, at a tournament?

Hasn't there been at least some variation in every other tournament?

Priests for RMP (potentially the first tournament where this comp hasn't even competed), resto druids have shown up quite often and paladin's have always been around in PHDK or TSG.

I don't remember ever seeing 10/10 comps running the same healer...

It's obvious that rshams are the only healer that have the ridiculous number of healing CDs to consistently keep people up through the ridiculous number of burst CDs.

Rshams have far too many throughput/lifesave CDs(SLT,1 min CD NS,HTT,Ascendance) and NG if you count personal survivability.(also, SWG silence/interrupt immunity)

on topic:
I wonder if Azael will go back to affliction if this is a draw since they won't win on overall damage as demo.

Hildegard if you read this can you please ask them to keep the score updated on the stream, it's usually either never up or incorrect.

Virtually every team has a lock as well. It's like cata in a box.

Honestly, the tourneys held by most of the players have been far better IMO - obviously comp selection was much better (cause they got to pick who they wanted), UI much strong of course, but it also just felt more fun and exciting to the community...

I'm sure the time diff doesn't help.

This tourney really should be titled the Swifty Macro Tourney TBH
