Idk about you guys but i see a hell of a lot of thieves, necros and rangers

In lower to intermediate MMRs, you'll see a lot of thieves/necros/rangers and even mesmers for the quick escape mobility
They're easy to work and mix in with any comp for the players running solo ques
They are also easy to learn how to play on the spot roles correctly, that don't require team meta knowledge

In higher tiers you'll see a lot more warriors/guardians/eles/engis
and then they'll usually bring one or two of the above classes for a peeler +1er "thieves/mesmers" and/or a point nuker "rangers/necros"

Mesmer is just an alternative to Thief, for your peeler/+1'er
Honestly with current meta you need to have one or the other, never both in the same team comp
Having Thief/Mes is just too damn squishy on point vs. like d/d cele ele and cele/rifle combo, not to mention presence of shoutbow
Cele specs just out-sustain serk in almost every situation possible

Usually our comps look like this:
* Thief or Mes for peeler +1'er
* Shoutbow, Hambow or Guardian variants for main point holder. In other words, a heavy that is a pain in the ass to kill and/or can lay mucho party support with CCs
* Cele/Rifle for primary engager #1 (must have in current meta)
* D/D Cele Ele for primary engager #2 (must have in current meta)
* Ranger or Necro for point nukes while still being able to creep around in between home/mid without really dedicating to a single point. Staff Ele is still inadequate for this job unfortunately
