Hunter is still paying for the undertaker, buzzard and face hunter meta... we definetely not want a meta where huntershave a top tier deck since it has the most opressive hero power. Either they make some card that changes the hero power while it's in your deck or they completely rebalance the class. I like playing hunter, but we DON'T want hunterstone
May I point out that Midrange Hunter is the same tier deck as Dragon Priest, which has the ability to reach rank 10 or higher. So does Midrange Hunter, but it will take more time than Dragon Priest.
Provide data for the decks you mentioned. Otherwise it's your opinion and that's about it.
Tempo Storm also has Midrange Hunter at Tier 3, but lists Dragon Priest is Tier 2. Famously, Tempo Storm is more reliant on expert opinion than data, so maybe you don't want to rely on this one. Like VS, only Midrange Hunter is on the tier list. https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/meta-snapshot/standard/2017-11-19
HS Replay shows us the overall winrate of each class and Hunter is right in the middle with 50.10% and ranked 5th out of 9 based on overall class winrate. Looking at Midrange Hunter specifically, it has over a 53% winrate. Beast hunter is close with over 52%. This compares favorably to Dragon Priest which clocks in at a 49% winrate. (Browse https://hsreplay.net/ for the various stats).
One thing that we can see on the data driven sites is that Midrange Hunter has favorable matches against some of the more popular decks such as Big Priest, Jade Druid, and all the popular Mage archetypes. It get's trounced by rouge though...
In Conclusion, the data shows that on ladder, Hunter is a middle of the road class at them moment. It's biggest problem is a lack of deck diversity, Nzoth Hunter/Play Dead Hunter (one of my personal favorite decks at the moment) aren't seeing enough play to have significant data or make the tier lists. This limit is balanced out by some of the Hunter's good matchups mentioned above.
Hunter is in a decent place. Decent may be disapointing compared to the OP days of yore, but its not worth all the doomsaying. Hunter is no where near what Priest, Shaman were at their low points that lead to such massive infusions of OP cards. So maybe, anyone who wants Hunter to be OP again should welcome underpowered cards like To My Side! to knock Hunter all the way down to the bottom so Blizzard gives it a boost.
I hereto vow to send my cutest kittens directly towards their faces!
I honestly think they don't know what to do with hunter. If they give the class what it's good at, it wrecks at ranks 20-25 (which it's already doing, they've talked about this). So they give it control cards and limit the power of it's minions. But the control cards are bad so control hunter isn't good enough. Honestly, I don't think they're trying very hard.
I don't understand. The last VERY GOOD Hunter deck was Undertaker Hunter. Hunter has always been an aggressive class and has been for a long time. Playing midrange can be hard with Hunter, but I feel like it could be possible to make a Hunter deck (or 2) that can reach Legend.
Now, yes you can run To My Side with Highmane in a Control deck, but Highmane would have to be played way earlier. To My Side can also work with Quest Hunter, surprisingly. And yet again, the quest hunter deck would have to have a control feel to it, which I'm all for.
Quest Hunter requires 1 drops. 1 drops are minions. When you complete the quest, you get more 1 drops, which are also minions.
To my side doesn't work with quest Hunter. Surprisingly!
To my side doesn't work with anything. Even if Blizzard released good spells for Hunters. People will make a deck with those spells and good minions. No one will add "crap on my side" to the deck, EVER.
fair enough. But all I'm saying is that Hunters might be forced to play Reno-type games (long games), which I'm all for.
You will not be playing an all spell Hunter deck. Period.
Hunters cannot play long games, because they don't have the tools to do it. You know why? Because Blizz never gave them any playable options for late game. So, the class has to constantly play aggro style or make an aggressive mid-range deck.
You think people won't play a control Hunter? People like me and you have been waiting for years now. But Blizz never gave Hunters the proper tools for it. All they gave Hunters were low stated deathrattle minions without any valuable synergies. And now this crap of minionless Hunter. They are doing it on purpose, it has been clear for a while now.
All that because Hunter is oppressive below rank 20. BELOW RANK 20.
But they don't see oppressive decks such as Jade Druid dominating since it came out.
Razakus and Big Priest, which are literally autoplay. Because only an aggressive deck can be a mindless play but not decks like these cause they go past turn 6. And some of the community thinks they are actually playing a skill based deck. Hilarious.
Tempo Rogue, which got even stronger this expac.
Hunter is paying for how strong it was in the first year of HS. The class been bad since the nerf to COTW (Mid-Karazhan), September 2016, more then a year ago. And will be bad for at least another 4 months. Which will be 1.5 years for shafting a class.
so tell me, why are Reno Hunter AND N'Zoth Hunter still viable? Those 2 decks have the ability to beat Tempo Rogue, period.
Reno Hunter is a wild deck. Hunter might be decent or good in wild, I don't know. I don't play wild.
Competitive scene is not wild.
Hunter is crap in Standard and has been for a long time. It had a T2 deck when COTW was 8 mana. Nothing after that. MR Hunter is barely T3 and almost all pros say it is hardly T4. Same as deathrattle Hunter. Barely T4.
May I point out that Midrange Hunter is the same tier deck as Dragon Priest, which has the ability to reach rank 10 or higher. So does Midrange Hunter, but it will take more time than Dragon Priest. And explain to me how Play Dead Hunter is tier 4. This deck has the ability to beat Tempo Rogue, Jade Druid, and Evolve Shaman (if you can board clear well). And even with the Call of the Wild nerf, which wasn't necessary at all, Midrange Hunter and N'Zoth Hunter are still viable decks in this meta.
And may I also mention that Secret Hunter is tier 2 or 3 as well, in both standard and wild. Secret Hunter doesn't even require Call of the Wild cause you might just be playing secrets all day and going aggressive. Putricide in a Secret Hunter is good enough to counter Jade Druid, Recruit Paladin, Tempo Rogue, Evolve Shaman and possibly Razakus Priest in both formats.
Take a Stand would be fantastic in a Secret Hunter because you don't require Savannah Highmane as much as Midrange Hunter, from a Standard perspective. Double "Take a Stand" would be even better.
So again, Hunter will be more viable than ever in the next expansion, period.
Provide data for the decks you mentioned. Otherwise it's your opinion and that's about it.
Hunter is probably the worst class, even behind warrior who has a slow but viable deck in DMH. This has been said by pretty much all pros.
Looking at the fact that a deck can reach rank 10 means nothing. I reached rank 10 playing C'Thun Priest (when it was said it is one of the worst decks in the meta) and Control Pala, in a meta were Control Pala was a low T4 deck. I can do the same with MR Hunter, which I did. But as with C'Thun Priest and Control Pala, it is an extremely painful experience.
But what about above rank 10? Those decks were simply not viable. MR Hunter falls off extremely hard and I want to reach a higher rank then 10. My aim is rank 5 every season, which I have managed almost every season, with different classes and decks, almost with a T2 or lower deck, because I enjoy playing low tier decks, it makes me feel smarter. I haven't done that with Hunter in a long, long time.
So what above rank 10? No more Hunter? Every class should be viable till at least rank 2/3. By having a deck, aggro, MR, control, combo, whatever the fuck.
Blizz deliberately makes shit cards to make a class weaker. They have done it for almost all classes. But also gives them viable or semi-viable cards in the same expansion. Where are the cards for Hunters? They have been missing for the past few expansions now. MR Hunter hardly has any new card, the core of the deck is vanilla. Vanilla is 3.5 years old. Look at Priest, Druid, Rogue, Mage, Warrior, Shaman, Warlock, Paladin. How many vanilla cards to they play? Hunter is the class that plays the most. And people say it is an aggro class. Of course it is. They DIDN'T receive ANY cards to come up with any other style then aggro or aggressive MR.
Ignoring a class on purpose is bullshit. And making a card like To My Shit, is an insult to players, the community who has been designing creative Hunter cards for years now, only for them to be ignored, and not to mention a waste of card when opening packs, especially for FTP players.
This is all on Blizz and the community hates Hunters? It makes no sense. Cards like this should NOT exist, in any class, dominating the meta or not.
And even if the class is the worst, that doesn't mean you can reach legend with a deck from that class. You act like nothing can be done with a Hunter deck even though you did it yourself. Take a Stand is a good card, but it will take a mastermind to choose a deck that the card would fit in.
The first link you posted doesn't work. The second one shows Highlander Priest at T2 and big Druid as T1. When it's the other way round. It is following a win %. Which is the amount of people who has installed the app. It doesn't show all the players in HS. It's the same with other websites. If you go there they will show different win % and different decks as T1 and T2 and so on and so forth. And also win % is different at different ranks. Hunter is weak when you go above rank 10.
You said Hunter is in the meta. Of course, at lower ranks. Can show the win % or tier ranking of Hunters at high ranks? Compared to other classes? The real meta starts above rank 10, some say above rank 7. It is weak when it starts to matter. We all know the story about Hunters at lower ranks, it is not a secret and the real reason why Hunters are getting cards like "Make Me Shit".
For Beast Hunter, it has a fantastic win rate against Jade Druid,Control/Exodia/Secret Mage, Big/Dragon Priest, Miracle Rogue, and Control Warlock. It's weakest matchup being Tempo Rogue, Murloc/Grimstreet Pally, Token Shaman, Zoolock, and Pirate Warrior.
For Midrange Hunter, it has a fantastic win rate against Big Druid, Jade Druid, Miracle Druid, Beast Hunter, Control Mage, Elemental Mage, Exodia Mage, Highlander Mage, Secret Mage, Big Priest, Breakfast Priest, Dragon Priest, Highlander Priest, Silence Priest, Mill Rogue, Miracle Rogue, Quest Rogue, Control Shaman, Control Warrior, Handlock, Highlander Warlock, Deathrattle Warrior, Mill Warrior, and Quest Warrior. It's worst matchups being Corpsetaker/Elemental/Tempo Rogue, Murloc/Pirate-Murloc/Grimstreet Pally, Token Shaman, and Zoolock.
Is this still not meta to you? On average, only Murloc Pally beats Hunter the easiest compared to Corpsetaker and Tempo Rogue. And as I said, the decks beat Druids.

thank you. And yes, Play Dead Hunter and N'Zoth Hunter aren't seeing enough play which sucks because the decks are very fun to play. I also never saw data for Secret Hunter, or would that be considered Midrange?

You don't see the point of this outrage. People are not asking Blizzard to print OP Hunter cards. But rather asking NOT TO PRINT cards like To My Side for ANY class, due to various reasons. One being the card is so bad it is a clear dust and a problem when you open it as a FTP player. FTP is already a crappy experience and they keep making it even worse and rather then improving the experience, they print cards like this, which makes the entire experience crap for higher rank players.
MR Hunter is T3, low T3. It has high winrate, as mentioned because of its power at low ranks. The real reason why Blizz doesn't want to give Hunters good cards. Forget OP cards that made Priest and Shaman top tier, but good cards, or cards, RNG Gods forbid, that introduce a different play style for Hunters! Hunter has been playing MR since Old Gods, that's 2 years ago. Can we get a different play style? Hunter players have been asking for it for a long time. Secret Hunter was a thing, and it was T2 but died soon enough. Yoggnload was mainly a meme deck. You can't even make a meme deck with To My Side (seriously, they didn't spend time or creativity on the name...).
Blizz deserves crap the are getting for crapping on the playerbase. So that they don't print cards like this again, not just for Hunters, for ALL classes.

Okay, before you go any further on this, please expect a change to the card, since you say it's pure garbage.
Firstly, Hunter is one of the best, if not, the best F2P classes out there with the Midrange archetype, so your point that Blizzard printing cards like Take a Stand are ruining the F2P experience is wrong.
Secondly, there are other types of Hunter decks out there. Although their winrate might not be as high, at least they can still win games. Deathrattle Hunter has the possibility to reach over Rank 20, as well as Play Dead Hunter. Menagerie Hunter can also work, and although it will be going to wild soon, it can get you some good wins, especially in the next expansion.
And you saying that Take A Stand works in nothing is false. This card can work for late game Secret Hunter, which isn't dead like you said it is, especially in Wild. Although Secret Hunter acts like a aggressive deck, this deck can play conservative enough that it has the opportunity to play late-game.
Oh and Undertaker Hunter, despite it's nerf, can also work. So you saying that Hunter only has 1 good deck is false as well.
you all say "paying for undertaker" or "face decks" as if it's not Blizzard but players who create tools for hunter decks, and designed his heropower.
What a trashtalk. No arguments, just "hunter plays face and i hate it". Tell this to developers, not players, not their fault.
Crushing Balls is also extremely bad card. For 7 mana mage can blow up whole fucking board of zoo garbage, same priest. Warrior can fucking win the game with brawl for 5 mana.
Dafuq is 7 mana cost? you spend your whole turn without generating tempo just to clear 2 random minions (out of 4-5 total enemy minions, for example, and you can't even choose) The optimal mana cost for such card is 4-5 mana, it should be viable not only for removing TIRION with LICH KING at one swing, its absurd. This should be playable even to remove more midrangy minions (4-5 mana drops).
And how about Toxic Arrow? it's 3 bad epics in a row already and each expansion class receives only 2 of them..

Blizz deserves crap the are getting for crapping on the playerbase. So that they don't print cards like this again, not just for Hunters, for ALL classes.
The fact that this is an epic is better for free to play. When staple cards are common and meme cards are epic it is more affordable to build viable decks. Talk of “wasted “ epic slots is misplaced. Blizzard has said tima and time again, rarity does not equal strength of cards but farther complexity and niche uses. SURE some epics and legendaries are super strong, but some of the strongest cards in the game have been common.
So are you people still in the pitchfork fase about To My Side!? Looking at released cards like Rhok'delar you might call it a forced archetype, but an alternative to mindlessly going face.
regardless of it's effectiveness it looks fun! Also even if it isn't effective now, it seems like it could be in the future. More over, Blizzard doesn't always print cards to be competitive. I don't know what this bitchfest is all about.
So, you either have 2 more Animal Companions and a hand of random spells, or playable early- mid- and end- game minions. Guess what is better. Meanwhile, rogue getting Evasion , warrior getting Reckless Flurry and i dont even want to talk about priest.
I think spell hunter is going to be a fun deck, give it some time. We're missing few pieces here and there like board clears, healing and card draw, so it might take expansion or two to get deck together though. I'd rather see something intresting and new than your usual 1-2-animal-companion-houndmaster-5-higmane boring curvestone.

Either they make some card that changes the hero power while it's in your deck or they completely rebalance the class. I like playing hunter, but we DON'T want hunterstone

Hunter is still great for f2p decks and generally getting familiar with the game; that being said I anticipate reaching 500 Hunter wins this month.

And what do you guys think about a deck like that?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Even in slower meta this is worse than usual hunter stuff.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wandering Monster, Kathrena Winterwisp, Cave Hydra and Flanking Strike are REALLY good cards, so I don't think its time to get the pitchforks out yet. Even the "worst" cards like To My Side!, and Crushing Walls have potential in the right decks.
