Druid its not op, lol. After all new cards this deck gonna be max tier 2. Rogue needs nerf, one week before 99% was rogue, and now i played rank 4 until 1, 60% x rogue.

Because there's nothing fucking wrong with it. Jesus christ, stop whinging about every single deck that even remotely starts to show the smallest amount of strength.
Druid is easy with enough removal or a fast deck. Play Quest Resurrect Priest. Embiggen Druid can rarely throw down more than one minion a turn. Or if you prefer a faster deck, you can conceivably take out Embiggen Druid with Face Hunter or any other high aggro deck. Especially if they have a poor draw. Embiggen Druid is highly draw dependent.
Also remember that with the new adventure, new cards are going to get added on a weekly basis which might shake up the meta a little. I don't think they will make any new balancing decisions until at least a couple of weeks after all wings of Galakrond's awakening are outl
According to the HSReplay stats that were posted in another thread recently, (Assuming they are accurate), Druid (specifically of the Embiggen version) is currently only sitting at around 55% WR just now. I don't feel like that is in a place to be overly concerned about just yet. Especially when compared to the 65+% WRates that Shaman and Warrior were achieving not so long ago. It's that sort of disproportionate strength which usually causes the sea of complaints and for Blizzard to consider action
There's no reason to nerf anything until all the cards from the adventure is out, and the meta has had a least a week, preferably more, to settle. If we see more nerfs, it won't be until the end of February at the earliest.
I am an okay but definitely not a good player. I climbed from rank 5 to rank 1 in two sessions of about 3 hours each, using emsigen druid and it feels like the only bad matchups are the mirror and quest/rez priest. Its probably gonna carry me to my first ever legend but i absolutely understand calls for a nerf. My girlfriend has never played this game but i am pretty sure she would bag a couple of wins with the deck
Embiggen Druid is slow, inconsistent and easy to counter. It's a pretty sub-optimal deck if they don't draw their Embiggens early. And it loses to any Control deck with a decent amount of big target removal.
The only reason why it is so dominant now is because it is taking advantage of a meta that is favourable to it. Once it becomes too popular, more people will start playing decks and/or teching in cards that counter it, which will push down its win rate.
I'm just conceding to every druid on ladder see if they do something about that quicker, specially those that have embiggen on turn 1 , draw + ramp turn 2 and frizz follow up which happens almost all the time against me.
It doesn't have an insane win rate, but also doesn't have many bad matchups. Even the bad matchups are still very winnable. The issue with it is the 70% win rate mulligan cards, which was almost the exact same as Ancharr, which is why they nerfed it. I'm sure the meta will adjust around it and they won't do nerfs until after the whole adventure is out, if at all.

Why only Shaman get punished?
Because.... fuc* shaman.
Keeper of the Grove, Ancient of Lore, Force of Nature, Innervate, Spreading Plague, Wild Growth, Nourish, Naturalize (banned)... am I missing any?
Two words, my guy:
Embiggen Druid
We need a new minion 2 mana
Battlecry: reset opponent quest to 0
66% druid from rank 4 to legend, never saw anything like that before.
simple disgusting.

Sorry my bad eng, im br.
Both are retarded right now, druid and rogue.
i haven't seen any big druid growth but if you are speaking the truth, i think shaman will get another nerf to balance druid.
Druid doing well is a very recent occurrence. They don’t patch in nerfs on something that happened yesterday.
Because there's nothing fucking wrong with it. Jesus christ, stop whinging about every single deck that even remotely starts to show the smallest amount of strength.
It's getting tiring.

Mmmmmmm.... Shadowy thoughts.

So far the only comment that makes sense in this thread. Just wait when it becomes unstoppable...
