What you need to know about Mage/Rogue

Mage/Rogue is probably the most popular double DPS comp. With a solid damage output (insane mage burst options) and heavy control chain, RM always was considered as the best double DPS for 2v2 arenas. Nonetheless, it suffers a lot against multiple top-tier team compositions such as Rogue/Druid or Lock/Druid. For this reason, RM cannot be considered as a Tier 1 combo. Nonetheless, with no doubt, many RM might reach Gladiator ranks, especially in season 1.

Strengths

πŸ‘ Nice cross CC possibilities/switch opportunities

Weaknesses

πŸ‘Ž Lack of stats (Stam and haste) in early seasons makes it harder than S4.

Depending on the season, and the meta, you can also opt for the Shadowstep with Improved EA Build.
