Hearthpwn

 The thing is that both of the Priest decks are just dumb.  Big Priest and Razakus Priest are by far the least interactive decks out there.  One deck you basically hard mulligan for Barnes, or stall until turn 6, which against any deck but hard aggro is basically a win.  And Razakus Priest is nearly the same, hope for Raza and stall for Velen/Anduin.  Dragon Priest seems to be a fair deck in that you have some variance and some interactive play involving the operative and dusk breaker.  It's going to be a long few months of cursing at Raza and Barnes if Blizzard doesn't somehow shake these up. 

 The OP is right in that as many games as I've played on ladder, I absolutely hate playing against big priest.  And if you don't concede then the game just becomes frustrating.  How is it that a deck like that can get wins on turn 6?  And for those who don't concede and play out the matches, how many of those games did you win?  Maybe 1 in your lifetime.  I like swing turns, and combo decks.  But I don't like decks that rely on drawing 1 Legendary card early for an easy win.  If that's the meta then I'll go back to playing Huntard and worry about Tar Creepers, and still lose to Big Priest.  Lol.

Were you boicoting Warrior during the Pirate Warrior meta's day (MSoG)? Or Midrange Shaman? You may not like the actual meta, but the cycle of some Classes be more dominant than others is just natural in HS.

Thanks for the free win.

sweet shirt!

4/5 games worthless pathetic priest scum... only braindead broken cards for disgusting braindead players. HS is dead.

Just put a big spell priest together. thanks for the free wins, ha ha.

Priests have been conceding since classic. They've earned this.

Insults make no one want to listen to your argument. Try being a grown up and contributing instead of name calling.

I won't get past rank 15 anyway so I may as well enjoy it there.

 That very small sentence explains your whole argument in a very simple way: you're a bad player who also happens to be a salty 12 years old child, you're crying because there's too many priest apparently and they are this huge impossible monster to win against while also being stupid easy to play to the point where a blind donkey with no legs could reach legend with it.. yeah, I feel all your salt has blinded you, you can't go past rank 15 lool I think you have a bunch of other issues other than priests. Finally I encourage you to play a priest deck like Highlander for example for lets say 100 games or so and then say it's an easy deck, you can't evaluate a deck for how it works when you and your opponent draw the absolute nuts from the start, that only happens in a few games, the games when your Raza or Anduin are on the bottom 5 or 3 cards (either of them or both) are where you can actually draw the line between awful netdeckers that can't even copy the deck right and actual good skilled players, which you clearly are not, I just love rank 15 players rants about how unfair and unbalanced the game is lol.

I boycott Priest the instant keleseth rogue and tempo mage get nuked.

I don't think this will solve anything. I for one have just stopped playing Ladder. I've only played Dungeon Run since release. I get to rank 20 and I'm done. I only rarely ever go on Ladder to play my Big Mage deck.

 neither of those were ever as dominant as priest is right now.

 LOL, just LOL

You either only started playing 3-4 months ago or you are trolling....

 You boycott pirate warrior by roping every. single. turn.

Quote from TicToc22 >>

I'll answer the same thing I alway answer in such a thread : if you only meet one class (what I can't believe it's true), just tech against them! 

When the meta was 60% aggro shaman a year ago, I just started to play Reno mage (which was really fun) and reached legend with an high winrate 😉

I think priest is far from a problem lately. I have more than 65%wr against them over the last 2 months...

But yeah, of course, if you just wanna play for fun and not competitively at all with a tier 4 deck, don't complain about loosing to tier 1-2...

I've said it before, but no one seems to listen, so I'll say it again: priest is not dominant. It's not even on top. At the moment, it's the third strongest class. Stop getting your panties in a wad over imaginary problems.

The responses to this thread are pretty funny - everyone is SO SERIOUS!!! 

I'm pretty sure the OP is aware that you can actually beat a priest with stuff, and he acknowledges that everything he wrote is due to excess "salt". Can you all just relax a little and stop trying so hard to prove that these terrible priest decks are just fine? They suck! We all know they're awful in that special way that only Hearthstone can create - no one really gives a crap if you netdecked a different awful deck to beat it. I myself tend to concede on Mages all the time because I just hate everything they do - Coin Arcanologist just about makes me vomit.

And to those who get all angry and start telling people they're lousy because they don't grind out legend every month? Get a life, guys.

Down with priests!! Down with mages!! Down with Patches the Pirate!!
