So I stopped playing Standard because every other game was against Pirate Warrior. I then moved to Wild and it was really fun for a day, and now it's just pirate warrior everywhere, mostly not even running the wild cards. Is this really supposed to be fun? I've heard 'Fly Polly' thousands of times. I'm not QQing because of losing, it's just making Hearthstone really really stale. What is worse, so much focus in the next expansion seems to be around these 8/9/10 mana new hero cards. How is that ever going to work? Sorry, but you're either dead or have won by at least turn 6. Once again it feels like all the super cool cards coming out are going to be too slow. That Rexxar cards looks super fun, but it looks worse than Jaraxxus and about the slowest thing I've ever seen to get going.
Something really needs to be done about pirates. I don't think it's overpowered, it just feels like it is all people are playing and it's just not fun anymore. I actually feel like I'm being punished by owning close to every single card in the game but having to run the same old rubbish, non fun or interactive cards to shut down a silly pirate deck. Once more, it's not about the balance, it's about player experience. I know I'm not the only one out there who hears 'Fly Polly' or 'Haha' and thanks 'Oh, great, another five minute game whereby I just hope I topdeck useful cards that I have a chance of playing'. The Un'goro meta was so fun, I was able to play every single class successfully, even warlock at the start. I just don't think I can stand it if in a few months time I hear the same pirate voices again over and over.
It also feels like the people I've asked who play it don't even enjoy it, some even feel ashamed. But enough is enough. When I'm queueing up in Wild and end up against Secret Paladin and am actually really thankful and happy that I get to face something other than pirate warrior against one of the biggest abominations Hearthstone has ever produced.
I have made a petition, if you hate Pirates then please sign, then in a few weeks if this works out then we could be pirate free. I want to do something about Pirates, I'm done with moaning, they need to go. If you are, sign the link below.
Or you play a deck that crushes the pirates, easy wins 4 you.
You are full of shit and we don't need to hear it. Even a deck tuned to beat pirates can lose to pirates. I watched Kolento go Ancient of War, into Primordial Drake, into the Curator after ramping well, and gaining armor. Pirate warrior still beat him without even playing a silence. You can fuck on out of here with your magic deck that crushes pirate warrior all the time. It doesn't exist and if it does, I bet it loses to everything else.
Stop crying, stop netdecking and use you brain to make a deck reliable agains the stomp of pirates. If you face pirates 80% of the time you'll get close to 80% winrate.
Ooze/Harrison/Golakka and you are generally fine. If you play Control Mage or Jade Druid you're gonna die, but other decks are pretty ok. I'm playing that Controlor Priest deck and it works fine (made something similar earlier but it turned out 2x Wild Pyromancer and a 2nd Dragonfire Potion are mandatory).
In all honesty, it felt that Aggro Druid was more cancerous because that deck didn't even care about what's happening on the board and it's win condition was drawing and playing Living Mana into Mark of the Lotus and Savage Roar.

Well if there are pirates everywhere. There is Golakka Crawler, there is Gluttonous Ooze and many other tech cards that help against pirate warrior. Pirate Warrior is actually healthy for the meta, it prevents such easy blatant deck like Jade Druid from running rampart.

As Ahune would say "chill the fuck down, kid". PW is easily targeted, take an eye shaman, tech in a couple 'o crabs and here we go - the pirate dream is dead. The petition bs is just hilarious.
People should srsly stop with the fucking "I see only one deck on ladde®" threads.

and you will have a deck that beats ONLY pirate warrior. Great idea!
I would agree if you'd put all of them in your deck. But if you have problems against Pirates and you face " only" PW everywhere adding some of those cards should bump your WR to a decent level.
Im at rank one atm and I see them only every 15- 20 game or so. There are much more Murloc Paladins and TokenShamans around !
I have no problem in beating it, it's just boring to play against over and over. Read my thread and you'll see that I put that.
Sure it isn't the funniest deck to play against but nowhere close to what quest rogue was... Yes I do prefer being hit in the face than simply ignored... ;-)
Most of the time I try to stay away from threads bitching about decks, cards / the meta. But Pirate Warrior just grates me for some reason... It's everywhere and worst thing is that there are no signs of this changing anytime soon.
It's my least fav deck to lose to bar none, especially in CASUAL. And there's not even an escape from it in Wild. It's not an over powered deck and definitely has a lot of weaknesses but when they nut draw, it's GG.
Generally I am fine with people playing whatever deck they want, aggro or control, doesn't bother me (huge fan of aggro Shaman and aggro Druid). But Pirate Warrior really does. It just seems so unimaginative and unfun. I will admit to playing the deck when I have a pirate quest to complete but it's a completely joyless task that I want to finish as soon as possible.
So yeah, fuck Pirate Warriors. Fuck them up their stupid asses.
It bothers me so much to see so much of it. It's like, I'm playing 30 cards in my deck, if Blizzard want HS to just be completely dominated by Pirates then why make HS decks with 30 cards, why not 10?
Yes, if you only build your deck around pirates then pirates are the only deck you'll win against. I run most of these cards and I'm doing fairly well against all deck archetypes. It's about building your deck around the general meta and if the meta is pirates, then play against pirates. It's not like you can't change your deck to compensate for other deck archetypes later on.
To the OP: are you playing on the NA server? I've played about 50 games each on EU and Asia this month and seen Pirate Warrior twice. By contrast, there's been Lyra \ OTK Priests and Taunt Warriors everywhere on both...
I have seen very few Pirate Warriors in Standard. Wild is another story, but if I had to play so many games against it, I'd simply play a deck that's tuned against them and enjoy my fast, free wins. In any case, fast games on ladder are efficient, win or lose.
Regardless of whether or not Pirate Warrior can be targeted, it should be nerfed for the same reason Quest Rogue was nerfed. Not because of an insanely high winrate, but because it is unfun to play against and limits the decks that can exist on ladder (slower aggro decks, unteched midrange, and combo if there were any viable combo right now)

Patches REALLY need nerf, much more than quest rogue, that is for sure.
