Reddit user OtherwiseUniversity7 has created an interesting dashboard with visual representations of the most popular classes and specializations for Mythic+ in the Shadowlands pre-patch.

"The least favorite are Demonology Warlocks (7,083 runs), Fire (151,186 runs), and Frost (22,496) Mages."

There's a mistake on the number of fire mage runs, and also it's arcane mage and not frost mage

Popular now but, all this should change quickly. Once we hit actual Shadowlands content, these lists won't matter.

Tbf it's tidbits about how things have changed. With little SL news of late, they feel the need to report something and this is an interesting thing to ponder.

There will be another list that will replace this one.

I understand that. And I'm not intending to come across as snarky or anything, it just feels like information that doesn't matter. It's interesting but not much use.

I assumed as much. A similar list for when SL content drops will be beyond helpful.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale

      We've looked at the Mythic+ Tier List for the first time in Patch 10.2.6!
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.GG's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.
