Midgard
-------
If you play Midgard or fight against them, you'll probably notice there's a good balance of melee, hybrids, casters, and stealthers. It's overwhelmingly the most balanced realm in terms of class composition represented in the field.
Albion
-------
Mostly balanced in class composition like Midgard. There were too many stealthers but now both stealthers are inferior to the other realms so this team is kind of in limbo right now.
Hibernia
--------
This is clearly the most unbalanced realm in terms of class composition. Most of the time when fighting hib, all you see are 30 lurikeen stun/nukers all standing next to each other in a pile of shrooms with a few bards and druids healing them and a couple nightshades/rangers. You can fight them 24 hours straight and never even see a real melee class. This kind of class composition makes RvR terrible and not fun for the other 66% of the people playing the game. Nobody wants to go anywhere near 30 stun/nukers standing in their pile of shrooms so people abandon RvR entirely and go do something else.
This realm has to be changed to force people into classes that do other things besides stun and nuke. The obvious solution is to reduce the number of stun/nuke casters from 3 to 1. Eldritch and mentalist should have stun changed to root and Enchanters should be the 1 stunning caster of the realm.
The next step is to address a few overpowered aspects of the other realms that cause Hibs to do nothing but stand around in a zerg of 30 stun/nukers. They will not venture away from their giant pile of shrooms and nukers because classes like Bonedancers have never been balanced properly. All the bonedancer has to do is send pets and run away from a free kill as the unmezzable pets /charge at you. Charge needs to be removed from the pets and their damage needs to be more inline with that of other pet casters instead of being absurdly higher (a lot is due to dmg add). There are obviously a few more issues, but this is one of the most glaring ones.

lol the shield troll was better and actually had a grain of truth. The closest thing to real in this one is that across the tank, support, caster, hybrid, stealth archetypes that mid is relatively good.

Apparently you've never been to the DC bridges? There it's about 70% NS/Ranger, 25% vamp, 5% everything else.
Additionally, what groups have you been looking at?
Your average mid group consists of three Zerkers and one caster (RM or BD). Your average Alb group consists of 2-3 Sorcs, and with 5 to half the grp wearing Cloth.
If you actually played Hib, you'd realize BMs <<<< Mercs < Zerks; Champs = little to no use for FGs (No charge dps class = may as well run a Hero)... and you see a lot of heroes running around.
I hate just because people die to simple things; that it requires instant removal or nerfing. All you heard the past few years was the QQ over shield slam by scouts; now that that's gone, they have to complain about the next issue, the puregeable/resistible/interrupt-able casted stun. Also, how are you dying to Shrooms? They are literally 3 spears/hammers away to clear on mid or 1 heretic away from clearing on alb...
Learn to play, stop complaining (seems this advice is prevalent recently).

He's talking about 30 casters in one place, that's obviously a reference to zerg on zerg fighting, and why anyone would want to play a tank in a zerg is beyond me.

Interesting.
Because you know... in alb there's not 30 Wizards looking to insta gib anyone who gets too far, or in mid 20 Warlocks and 10 RMs looking to do the same.
Because you know... a solo caster on the wall with 30 friends is overpowered because it can stun 1 person and nuke him... but a good mid Healer can stun an entire group of people from the opposite zerg at the same time... and rain the best combo AoE damage in the game.
