The most relevant DH weakness, as most have already stated, is the imposibility to remove big minions at early turns. So Pure Pally is the choice.
If you pressure enought for them to use a Blade Dance, a turn 5 Blessing of Authority practically gives you the game on the spot. Not talking about Argent Braggart since they can have silence and some builds have two. I have 100% winrate (all vs Soul DH) this season and an overall +75% winrate against them in the previous 150 games (+25 against DH). It also counters Aggro Hunter (also 100% winrate this season, +75% in the past 150 games +35 against Hunter), so its a win-win if you hate those decks.
Have you actually played against them? Blade dance? Their entire strategy is boost their hero attack to 10, play blade dance, smash face. They also have silence and the legendary that lets them ignore taunt.... Right now they are tier 1, and only paladin really is close in power right now. As usual since they introduced the class, it’s OP compared to every other class. Wish they’d never introduced it.
My issue is not that it's overpowered, it's that it is so boring to play against. They only do one thing for the most part every turn and there draw means the same thing will be happening until they run through there whole deck
They are just a face-attack deck. They have a silence effects that is dirt cheap and also draws a card. They have the most broken legendary of all time, Kayn Sunfury that just ignores one of the core aspects of the game: taunt. And it doesn’t ignore a single taunt minion, and it’s not just Kayn that ignores the taunt, it literally removes the concept of taunt from your opponent’s board entirely. This card should be banned; it’s worse than Ragnaros or Sylvanas ever was.

Couldn’t agree more. This class has been at the top of ladder for the entire year. It has been nerfed numerous times, still tier S. I hope Blizz just deletes DH at the end of year of the Phoenix. We need an oops our bad mulligan like Baku/Genn for the whole class.
Hunter, rogue don't have healing or good mass removal.
DH have the best draw in the game, the cheap hero power, very good weapons, healing, the more cheap and effective mass removal and now don't even need a board anymore to give massive damage.
The class need to be nerfed again?
No. Just because one person (or thousands) think that DH is OP doesn't mean it needs to be nerfed.

But look at Illidans badass dark attitude! Look at his abs! Look at those blades! y'all played WOW or WC3 and were on the brink of jizzin every time he turned up! Now ask yourself: How is a whole dev team of dweebs with massive wow nostalgia ever gonna nerf their sex god into tier 2?! it's just not possible. too strong feelings for the guy.
Reading this tread while casually playing DH..not even looking at the game, not really interested what my opponent actuallys does - winning 4 of 5 games anyway..should I try blindfold?!
DH 30 HP 0 cards in hand, 0 card on board
ME 15 HP 6 cards in hand 2/8 taunt on board
aaaaaaand i lost the very next turn. and it wasnt even a surprise. it would have been a surprise if NOT!
blizzard is the new trump. thinking being retard is en vouge.

Have a nice day everyone!
Tf are you talking about? Aggro DH has 44k recorded games, Soul has 18k
Wow, you got the one pure chance for them to draw exactly the right card and that means they're broken. Right.
If you were at 15 health without even touching them then you're bad my guy.

I believe the only truly weakness of DH is Wild, the other classes have much more resources than him there, in Standard the class reign supreme.
Sad. :(

O
The typical “u r bad if u lose to DH” post. DH is dominant right now - just look at the win rates.

Make his hero power two and it fixes the entire problem.

easy: his best weakness is the lack of identity atm through the expansions.
we play dh in the same way since day one and it's a little boring imo
No. Just because one person (or thousands) think that DH is OP doesn't mean it needs to be nerfed.
Not sure if anyone has said this yet but DH's most glaring weakness is losing.
No, just being 50% of meta is enough though.
