Spec Popularity in Mythic+ for Midnight Season 1 - Week of April 27th

As the Season rolls on, high-key meta teams continue to be comprised of Brewmaster Monks, Augmentation Evokers, Unholy Death Knights, Devourer Demon Hunters and Restoration Druids. That being said, Restoration Shamans are beginning to make a splash in the highest keys as well.

Key Level Distribution in Season 1 - April 27th

While it was a rocky start, Patch 12.0.5 introduced the new Voidforge Bonus Roll system, which players used on Mythic 10+ or higher for a chance at Myth-track gear.

Mythic+ Participation per Week in Season 1

Despite the introduction of Bonus Rolls, the number of Mythic+ runs has naturally begun to decrease as the Season goes on. With new content and gearing options in Patch 12.0.5, it's possible that players decided to take a break from Mythic+ in favor of Ritual Sites, Decor Duels, and Abyss Anglers.

Disclaimers and Source

Data for this article is sourced from Raider.IO statistics for Mythic+ dungeon participation, collected during the week of April 27th. Data encapsulates all key levels, looking to paint a complete picture of what the M+ community is doing during the period.

Note that, since the data reflect only participation, there are many implicit biases in the numbers.

Since all metrics shown deal with popularity, they aren't directly attached to spec balance, but to community perception of spec balance.

Specs considered bad by the community will generally be played less and tend to have lower participation.

Highest keys tend to have a very low participation, meaning specs played by these players will be overrepresented, despite any actual balance.
