Yes, I am once again a part of the WoW team. The team has done tremendous work during the past year and I’m very excited to help them in anyway I can. An amazing team makes World of Warcraft. Proud to work alongside them.— Holinka (@holinka) October 20, 2018

Super happy to see Holinka back on the WoW team!
Savix is gonna be so happpy
pvp in wow has always been colossal crap, and expecting any drastic changes is highly unlikely (just like in the rest of wow with those people in charge) no matter who they bring (back) to the teambut more important - what was that what he worked on that's unnamed?
I'll take an incompetent, promoted-above-his-potential mediocrity like Holinka over whichever moron thought the current class balance was an acceptable offering to ship with. Better the evil you know et al.
Heavens, that's a first that I see such a stream of negativity here. Come on guys and gals, rein it in a little.In Pandaria, Holinka personally KILLED my Warrior - just as I clawed to DPS levels that made me comfortable in my raiding spot, he PERSONALLY INSISTED on nerfing the class "becuz muh pvp" so badly that my warrior was removed from roster, forcing me to swap mains and I never returned to playing that class despite all my sentiment and love for it.Still, if I look back, I feel that back then class design and combat design was uncomparably better than the abominable, GCD infested, slow, sluggish, boring and frustrating MESS the current set of people put us in.Even if we end up rolling back to where we were in WoD (which I presume might be the last of what Holinka had previously touched), that's STILL better than the crap we are in now - legion brought us pvp retardation of "flake of the 'patch" classes and classes which were broadly considered "just meat to be killed" in pvp, and beta for azeroth dug even a deeper hole, with some specs simply becoming completely non competitive in the game, both pve and pvp, like Markmanship Hunters.I wrote before these incompetent people need to get fired, but a demotion in favor of "old blood" is good enough.
I think it's for Warfronts PVP mode.... ¬¬°
I say welcome back. I hope he listens and has great ideas to bring to the table.
If he is willing to revert the GCD changes, I don't care what else he does. I'd rather have templates over everything being on the GCD.
The sad part is that even if he was a meme back in WoD especially, he gets hopes up in a way.
I honestly cant see the class balance/mechanics getting any worse. Might be beneficial to have him around.

Welcome back Holinka. I missed you!
welcome back sir, better the devil you know than the one you don't. Just please no templates again, it's not hard to gear with a lot of resources up now.

I mean I'm kinda saddened by this because PvP is in a really good spot right now I think. Its mostly balanced besides a few classes that underperform but theres no one that's blowing anyone else out of the water.
