If you want to see how a spec performs in a small scale or solo setting you should be looking at BGs. In the case of BGs there isn’t a magblade in sight.
I was talking about BGs... the reason you don't see and is it reset. Plus if your not seeing two handed sorcs in BGs then your simply not playing BGs. I qued yesterday where ALL three groups including myself was a sorc.
I don’t see that many NBs, well not on winning teams. Sorcs yea I do.
You can extrapolate something about the strongest classes from it, but not the strongest players. As you do more BGs your MMR tank goes up and your queue time gets longer. The best players are rarely on the leaderboard.
We can debate the merits of the MMR system on another thread. Back to your original statement. That they are "nowhere near" is simply not correct, and there are "no nightblades or sorcs" that rank high, is simply false. You are not implying, you are directly saying the Templar's and Necros keep those classes out buy sheer merit of the class. Meaning no Sorc or Nightblade can ever beat a Templar or Necro. This is patently false.
As you've just admitted, there are tons of sorcs, that means there are tons of folks who DO feel the class is up to par. This is a fantasy game, where you make your own character, nobody is building for an unsuccessful venture. They all likely have in common one thing, they feel they've found something with that class.
Besides this is all crap anyway. Is Templar the best in PvP? No - Is the Templar the best at DPS? Hell no. - Is the Templar the best Tank? Hahaha No... - Is the Templar the best healer? Meh Subjective, most of the best healing moves and not class specific. Is he the best at ANYTHING? Yeah getting my daily done in Cyro and scoring easy in BGs when fighting against.

What I hate about this noob class is that they have 2 good single target hard stun + a stun in Unstable Core while Magnecro can't even get one single target hard CC. Also their ability to be stupid heal bots in pvp that are just delaying their deaths without learning how to kill someone.
Even with that said every magicka class should be brought up to their standard in PvP.
Nerfing them is not necessary. And their dumb AOE Snare is getting nerfed next patch.

Just try using those stuns... well, javelin is ok, but as your opponent will see your pattern it will be blocked majority of the time. Toppling charge is buggy unreliable trash. Half of the time it doesn't work and when it works you are locked in animation for so long (I tried to block+bar cancel it many times - doesn't help) that your target will breakfree when you are finished. You may see that many magplars are using essence drain and many stamplars are using turn evil. Because those 2 class stuns are so "awesome". Yeah, when you are hit by them running from the zerg it feels like they are OP. When you are trying to use them in 1v1 in S&B meta... it is completely another story.

For YEARS, NBs were on top for their Cloak/Burst GOD MODE.
Now that their Burst is gone, they just hate all that can heal, and that is Templar most.

Sounds like someone who can't get away with snipe spamming from halfway across the map.

You clearly aren't interested in a discussion about the subject, all you are saying is "I'm right, if you disagree with me you're wither a moron or biased, ZOS nerf this now!"
It's like the most anti-intellectual useless type of feedback there is and does nothing to strive for the very balance you seek. OK, we're big on learning the lessons of history right. Last year everyone complained about NBs being too strong and if you disagreed you were just a moron or biased. So nerf them and make the game balanced.
So ZOS nerfed them. Why don't you ask a nightblade player how that worked out. So what's the lesson we learn? Hey, that worked so well, let's do the same for Templars! But not for wardens even though their "strong" side chart is just as imbalanced as the Templar. To say nothing of Stam Necros, who are predominant in PvE and will be top tier in PvP as of the patch notes.

But they are not more powerful by any means then stamden, stamcro, magsorc. And magden (in group scenario). So if you are DK or NB ask to buff them and majority will agree. If you are warden or stamcro or magsorc and you complain on templars... i don't know, then you just want to nerf competition.

These 3 classes are weaker than magplar.
I can write why, but i already described all advantages of magplar above.
Any of them has no such universal and effective toolkit as magplar.
Maybe stamden, but...cast timed ultimates, easy avoidable main burst skill, sorry, no, no and again no if magplar is skilled player sure.
But the most issue is magplar's value in teamwork.
it's broken. Too invincible for all the things it provides himself and others.

And northern storm providing major protection for entire smallscale team is not powerful? and access to aoe major vulnerability+damage is not powerful? negate is not powerful? There are different builds and different situations where some class/build would be better. But to say that templar is most powerful class overall? No. Most versatile and "casual" - maybe, but not most powerful.

Play one. What you’re saying is wrong, but I don’t think you’ll see it until you play one and meet a good stamwarden or stamcro.

I play magplar and stamplar. How many times should I repeat this?
Yeah, they nerfed dk and nb skills because they felt like they were overloaded. Then we have templar, warden with overloaded skills.
they just change meta on purpose. dont care about having balance or every class being somewhat viable at all.
theyll get nerfed. maybe around june? i dont know.

Well, with such "class representative" nothing strange we have such balance. And whole this "representatives" system is trash.
I guess u stucked at one of few only classes or playstyles, or in only specific content, or bored to play different classes and to compare them.
It doesn't work.
Only blind person can't see what's going on in battlegrounds for example.
How huge is value of magplars there and in similar conditions.
How tanky magplar is and how universal and strong is it's tookit.
1 magplar changes everything. And it's tanky af (exp one sure) + doing huge damage.
Or, biased abuser of holes in the system.
Like it was with premade advantages - it was during 3 years of asking Zenimax to separate premades from randoms, and everytime army of abusers wrote trash in style of "l2p", all fine, "we want to play in a team with friends to get fun" etc.
I feel u're first one.
On what the hell basement u decided that i'm not "interested in discussion the subject"?
And what is the sence of this your comment in general? Goal? Let's be true dude...
(And yes, nighblade's nerf was must. Not so strong, but it was needed. Same as magsorcs before. or dks in 2015. Because - BALANCE!)
