Suddenly all threads are appearing on hearthpwn where users are tilted from playing against Priest. I mean what is this? Why this sudden outrage? Are they and I playing the same game.?
First of all Barnes is already in Wild. And from experience (I have been exclusively playing wild for last couple of seasons) I have hardly (read not at all) encountered a BarnesMind Blast priest. Yes I have encountered lots of & lots of Big Priest. Even once dominating highlander priest is rare on ladders.
I mean really? Do you really want to argue that Priest is OP? Whose best weapon is a lower 2nd Tier deck (in Standard Gallery Priest & in wild Big Priest) that Priest?
All these hates Priest gets are unsubstantiated. I have my doubts that those who are frustrated against Priest don't play this game at all.
The they could easily fix Barnes by not allowing you to Rez his 1/1 minion that way they have to wait till turn 6 to pull a 8/8 10/10 minion.
Also the statement that people like to always say “it’s in wild so who cares” wild had become a prettt big thing since it’s release and does need to be adjusted sometimes. Even if some cards are to powerful they should not be the deciding factor of winning a game.

You know it's quite a rare occurrence right? It's quit easy to counter Big Priest if you are playing Aggro decks. You could decimate Big Priest before he pulls up his Barnes at Turn 4 (See Mech Hunter). Barnes is a High roll High reward types of card which will not always ensure your victories. Stats support this notion. And sometimes you don't even get your Barnes in your starting hand.
Look I don't play Big Priest, Highleander Priest is my favourite archtype so I don't care if they are going to nerf Barnes. Actually I should be happy cause I have an abysmal record against Big priest. But it's not the entire picture. There are other decks that counter Big Priest quite hard.
Maybe because they just hate priest? I hated it for years because of Entomb screwing with my janky combo decks and still feel like the mindless idiots who play Big Priest in wild deserve all the BM they can get. People are going to complain about whatever pisses them off so getting salty that people don’t like your favourite class is a pretty ridiculous reaction. Win rates mean very little. It’s your experience playing against a deck that determines whether it bothers you or not. I don’t mind wall priest or whatever it’s called because I never lose to it but I do get bothered by odd pallies.
The only decent way to nerf Barnes is and will always be to spawn a 1/1 token with the ability to spawn something in the deck, not the minion itself, so if it gets resurrected it is a 1/1 on the board. It still retains lots of strength (especially if Y'Shaarj or Ragnaros is pulled) but it is a lot more balanced. The winrate of Big Priest is polarised in having Barnes on T4, and that is exactly why the card is so wrong.

Remember playing Control Shaman with Reincarnate shenanigans? No? It was fun, here's a refresher!
None of it is new, it's just that blizzard repeatedly print insane cards for priest. Along with how awful it makes you feel when you see barnes on 4 and then they resurrect whatever died. It's just not fair. I understand it's wild, but even wild decks aren't immune to nerfs (Aviana) so big priest also shouldn't be immune to nerfs. But it is, Blizzard has said nothing about it being nerfed, so understandably people are pissed off.
Priest is just that class that makes me wanna play aggro or something.
A lot of people would love to play control, but any other control decks have extremely bad wr against Priests. Thus everytime Priest is popular it gets some hate. :)
Because Priest is the "antifun class", and the hate is nothing new everytime when Priest gets good people hate to play against it. If you like to take fun out of the game for your opponent, play priest.
Because people do not care about wr or anything (most of the times) they Just start hating whatever Is unfun to play against for them (i'm not saying I don't,actually if a deck like big spell mage was tier 0 i wouldn't mind playing against It)
The problem here lies in the fact that everyone jumped on the hate train for Priest even though (most likely) their problem Is with gallery Priest (standard) or big Priest (wild)
Now i'm not trying to Say that these decks are fine because anything that completely smashes an entire archetype Is bad and they sure as hell do that but some people have "generalized" the problem to include control Priest (i found a thread,some time ago where the OP unironically couldn't tell the difference) or other decks

One example saying Barnes & Mind blast being OP.

Nerf Barnes to 6 mana it is unfair to Pull a 10/10 out by Turn 4 and Hit you with it by turn 5 and you know it ! Play a real deck noob!

They have been whining for months, where have you been?

But it is, Blizzard has said nothing about it being nerfed, so understandably people are pissed off.
People complaining have obviously never shadow essenced a 5/5 Barnes.
Not quite what was planned.
This.
Or you don't draw Barnes at all. Or high cost minions in your starting hand and get wrecked by aggro. With this deck you either win big or fail hard.
I think this is occurs far more frequently than a turn 4 Barnes into Y'Shaarj/Ragnaros
Who doesnt hate Priest except Priest players, lol
I love that people hate priest. It makes victories with the class more satisfying.
Priest is just that class that makes me wanna play aggro or something.
A lot of people would love to play control, but any other control decks have extremely bad wr against Priests. Thus everytime Priest is popular it gets some hate. :)
Why this thread even exist? Why do you care what other people think? Are you trying to change their opinion with this passive-agressive rant?
"Why are people irrational and do I present biased reading patterns as if it's the one and only truth"
Tldr: "whaaaaa people hate my favourite class and express that dislike!Whaaaaa stop bashing priest!Whaaaa"
Because Priest is the "antifun class", and the hate is nothing new everytime when Priest gets good people hate to play against it. If you like to take fun out of the game for your opponent, play priest.
Hail to the Priest, my brainless deck
