Priest seems to be the only class that people aren't willing to tech for. There are plenty of ways to counter rez priest, if you're willing to play the cards.
That being said, the tech to counter rez priest tends to be a dead draw against most other decks. In previous metas, a dead draw might not be a big deal. Right now, with the game being so fast, a dead draw can lose you the game.

I have a simple idea - neutral costs 3, 4/4, BC: turn random opp minion by 1 more. If you don't, deal 3 damage to this - Everybody's got a rez pool ruiner stamped on a 4/4 for 3 minion (and it kicks albatross out on curve), priest has a target minion to cast renew on in addition to tol'vir against non-aggro.
With that said, the chances blizz actually doing this are between slim and none.
i, for one, welcome our new priest overlords. Anything that oppresses demon hunter im all on board with it.
Tempo DH does just fine against Priest. It has the possibility of closing up the game before Priest stuff even comes online, or get close to it into Kayn / Metamorphosis / Altruis combos to provide reach beyond his taunts. Also Mana Burn before his key turns (4 and 5) can kill him too, and if the need ever arises, DH can tech silences more easily than other class (Consume Magic).
It's every other non-super optimized non-tier1 deck that is oppressed by Priest.

Because the tech counters are just so absurdly bad against any other meta deck out there.
Giving tokens to Deamonhunter and rip, giving them to token Druid also not great, giving them to Warlock with their inferno spell, or Zoo token style.., yeah also bad idea.
Giving the opponent tokens is way worse than teching a silence or a Ooze ,Blacknight. Since those are weak bodys if they dont hit their counter , but dont gamelosing bad.
Fun Fact. A couple of weeks ago, my post got deleted and i earned a "bad bad boy" from the moderator. And now i get Upvotes for a comment which is like exactly what i posted. Strange days we are living in. Stay healthy!
Look at all the salty priest players getting upset that their dumb ass fucking deck is getting targeted finally. Seriously this Rez mechanic is stupid. It needs to be gone. They're strong without it. With it they're unbeatable unless you use a deck that specifically counters them and them alone.

Not saying I like rez priest, but priest definitely isn't strong without the rez stuff right now. Highlander priest is a joke, and that's its only other playable archetype.
Priest is the worst class ever. EVER. How can i fight with 25+ albatross in my deck? explain to me this thing somebody pls. I gave up my ladder anyway... this is bullshit. No funny, absolutly depressing, thanks for everybody who is playing this thing and i hope they die and go to helll.
It's unplayable. There are so many good 1drops in this expansion. An alternative could be the 3/7 that spawns three 1/1. Now in this meta aoes are precious and you need to use them carefully. Now you have to use your aoes to counter your own cards(????)
I just refuse to interact with resurrect priest at this point. It's not just about the resurrect mechanic. With all those reborn taunts, the pool gets filled so quickly with their copies
The only counterplay is hoping he gets extremely unlucky And he draws terribly. Wow.Everytime I get matched vs this abomination I just want to quit the game. Really hoping they will do something about this

I kind of disagree with you, i mean yes, any other possible archetipe is suffering because of cleric and acolyte being moved to hof. Just like every other class is suffering lack of consistent card draw except dh and WL. But I believe slowly ppl will find alternatives, there are already some deck experiments with some kind of midrange priest with a lot of value generation. Also highlander is definitely not the best but I wouldn't call it a joke. But until Rez priest is a thing of course all this will have less space.
Hope we get the chance to explore more in this direction, maybe in the next expansion, it's a shame because I'd love to play a good honest priest deck.

It is balanced but annoying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
God forbid to add some Silencecards in your Tier 1 Netdeck, because you could draw an unfavoured card in ALL other matchups. *whine whine*

HS community right now and like forever:
- I prefer IN YOUR FACE everything is OP and boring.
- i prefer EVERY frikken class to summon random big minions and or random big spells i cant predict
- i prefer a random class to fill his board with RANDOM big minions i cant predict
- i prefer to play against a warlock with 15+ shield and a warrior weapon, because,... i cant PREDICT this...
- i prefer a druid to cheat so much mana, he plays unbeatable minions every round
- i prefer a mage, who wins against me with random generated IN YOUR FACE spells
- i prefer stutterwhateverheisspelled shaman, because im a masochist
- i HATE priest SO much, because he is SO predictable but im too GREEDY to add a tech card
And now go hate me HS community, downvote me for the truth!

Yes sure, basically just nerf every classes y'all hate playing against.
No single game existing out there has 100% all game components likable by the fanbase.
Blizzard plz nerf taunt
