Why are Warlock videos rated low?

[dmleet]

Is there any reason why Warlock videos seem to be rated lower compared to other classes?

I have a few theories (in order of probability):

1. Warlocks are imbalanced and not fun to watch.
2. The Warlock playing is mediocre in skill and yet manages to beat everything, again not fun to watch.

3. All the PvPers prefer Mages as the spellcaster of choice because they make more presumably entertaining scenes. Rogues can be included here too, they seem like the PvP class for melee types.

Post your thoughts. I'm pretty disturbed by the low ratings.

How come you're asking a question, answering it yourself, and then flaming a class at the same time?

he's just saying "why he thinks there rated low"

Sorry..just seemed like a thread he made so he could flame it up a bit, I apologize.. >.>

Edit: I don't know though, I've seen on the WoW forums a lot people just go there and post in the Warlocks section about how they're always overpowered and the such, maybe it's around the same on WCMovies? They just go on there and rate everything low because they just got camped by a Warlock on WoW a few seconds ago? I dunno.

(I'm not denying the fact Locks are overpowered, just saying it seems like people spend more time complaining about it than they do playing the actual game.)

Locks are op, but majority of the locks i watch are lame afflict or afflict/demo spec. Personally I have a twink 39 lock who eats everything up except better geared locks/hunters as full affliction. The only real spec that actually proves skill exists is pure destro.

People are quick to assume, fear, skill coil, and massive dots = win. Sad really since there are players out there who can counter the same moronic afflict lock tactics shown. WoW forums are more or less a disease and people following fads(ie: rickroll).

Yes locks are overpowered, but then at one point in time, so were hunters, and other classes. Things change, so will people's jaded opinions on what they think. These days if I see an afflict lock movie, I do have an urge to downrate it less simply because you just throw dots, run around and fear people, I know, I've done it, it's stupid and boring and offers no challenge. Demo locks are more interesting but tactics are pretty much the same and they live longer, still same old shit.

When playstyle on 2 out of 3 specs require brainless work and it succeeds in winning, then you know the class really is imba. I'd kill to see someone make a destro lock movie not just on world pvp, but duels of best players in server, and arena matches too. Is it possible? Yes but difficult since full destro is a very hard build to pull off in arena(everyone is usually afflict or demo/aff).
