With the close of the Merciless Gladiator Arena Season in Burning Crusade Classic, we thought it was a perfect time to release a comprehensive and detailed composition tier list for Arena. We're going to be looking at all brackets, beginning with 2v2. Our angle is data oriented, meaning we're considering things from a numbers based philosophy.
That means we'll be thinking about how many teams got Rank 1 with each composition and considering how that reflects on the power of each comp. We'll be ranking teams from S, A, and B, with S being a comp that an experienced and dedicated player could reasonably achieve Rank 1 with, A being a comp that's good enough for Gladiator but just not quite reliable for Rank 1, and B being a comp that even skilled players would struggle to get Gladiator with, and is totally incapable of getting Rank 1. Essentially, S tier compositions are rated so because their class synergy makes them offensively and defensively powerful comps, whereas A tier compositions might only shine offensively and have defensive weaknesses, or the other way around.
The 2v2 bracket is one I'm particularly familiar with, as I played close to 3000 games since release as a variety of comps and achieved Rank 1 ratings as Warrior Druid, Rogue Druid, and Lock Druid during Seasons 1 and 2. Aside from my anecdotal experience, I'll be drawing from the final ladders of Season 1 and Season 2 to build this list. Since (at the time we're writing this guide) the season 2 ladder isn't finalized, we'll specifically be looking at Season 1 (and considering what we know, but can't completely confirm, about Season 2).
