Basically pseudo-intellectualism. Dumb people not realizing they are dumb and responding as if they are intelligent. In the case of the OP, it's a fallacious ad-hominem (shoot the messenger) argument to support his weak premise that there is no entertainment value to the game beyond winning.
Aka 70% of this forum...EVEN after you point it out. Someone in this very thread said I was salty and didnt like combo decks after reading a paragraph explanation about the simplicity of duskbreaker and psychic scream. So many assumptions and errors in so little space.

You bashed the simplicity of those 2 cards, one of which isn't even generally used in a priest combo deck, and then praised the equal simplicity of 2 other cards and then used this as a basis for why combo decks are lame and then you come here and post about logical fallacy? Gtfo lol
We all know these decks where you are actually playing against a player doing his solitary game. He draws cards to get his combo, stalls the game to stay alive...gets his combo and gg. You just scramble to kill him before he gets his cards...no playful interaction with the opponent... just my opinion here: sad and boring. So why do many players still use them? Because they are efficient? Unlikely: Most of them are Tier 3 and Tier 4 decks...I think only Clone priest is Tier 2. You can climb the ladder with them but the win rates given tells you that the grinding is heavy with these decks. These combo players are resilient ones... my guess: they must spend a LOT of time playing.
So why do they still use them?
- For Fun? Possible, what can be boring for me could be fun for others.
- climbing the ladder? Certainly, but imagine the grind!!!
- Defensive players? It's just speculation here and I could be way off but lets try: Their style of game is not about confronting, winning with no clash seems to appeal to them. It's not a confrontation it's a race. And if you loose "it's because you did not get your cards in time...not because the opponent was better than you", that's something that the player's ego can take.
- Or maybe it's just about playing...not winning (baffles me but ok why not).
So combo players, what is it that is pushing you towards these decks considering the win rates?

Locking this as it has become non-constructive.
