You: I'm only interested in climbing as fast as possible. I choose my deck based on what achieves that goal and bitch about decks that work against fast climbing.
Me: I'm mainly interested in playing the game, don't care about rank. I like long games because they present lots of options to see and utilize my cards. Having a game be over in 6 turns is booring to me because I feel like I didn't really even get to play a game by turn 6 and I have very little decision points to enjoy. It just becomes who drew the best instead of who played the best for the most part in those games. (and aggro tends to draw better than control due to lower curves and less specific cards)
I don't really enjoy playing res priest, but I'm am certainly enjoying Galakrond Priest. I thought Shudderwock was a hell of a fun deck to play. Control warrior was pretty fun with 7 mana Dr. Boom Mad Genius. I think I might be your worst nightmare. But, to be fair, you probably enjoyed playing Face Hunter, Pirate Warrior, Odd Pally and Midrange Shaman (maybe) and playing against THOSE decks were my worst nightmare. So, it all balances out.
Whatever kind of priest is fine man. It's just a style of play. It has a lot of counters too. Rogues, highlander decks, combo decks. Pls don't auto concede. Sometimes u just might find a way.
For me even win is a loss becauase it took sooooo long and in the same i can easily win 2/3 games. So i know it's sad but when i see i'm facing priest i just concede, playing with them is always loss anyway so better start something new.
Of course i'm not talking about ranked, unfortunately when i play ranked i'm fighting with res priest till the end :(
I was always curious why people play res priest. There's nothing creative or interesting playing that deck. Always passive, always waiting.
Thats the point.
We want to punish face race boomers.
Whenever I run into a few DH's or Hunters in a row, I go to my priest, rope EVERY TURN, and watch youtube.
I am here to punish you for not complaining about DH, even if you play XYZ class and not a face race class, I want you on here talking about those classes, not calling out priest because you think its "boring to play against"... Grow up.

Lets get DH balanced.
The funny thing is, if the meta didn't have those "face race boomers", it would be combo/OTK decks owning the meta and your control deck would be worthless :) "punishing" anyone for playing whatever deck they enjoy is disgusting.
I hate calling anyone facist, but seriously... Who actually says "Let us punish ze inferior aggro players. Zhey are subhuman! Those who cannot perform to my master class shall be roped!!"
I've really fallen in love with playing Thief priest, and I don't take any resurrecting cards in my deck (unless I steal, or generate them over the course of the game). I'm at Gold 5 right now (at 56% win), and having an absolute blast, and I feel I can win vs every class (depending on how my card draws go!). I don't think it's as obnoxious as res priest. I just really enjoy using my opponents cards against them!
Rogue is my toughest matchup though. All the bouncing and removal is hard.
Yesterday I conceded EVERY game right away when I was facing a priest. I didnt climb ranks very fast but oh man did I have much more fun. And isnt that what a video game is all about anyway.
The trouble with RezPriest is that it's like a Ticking Time Bomb, where I need my Techcard (Terrorfiend) to give 3 1/1s. Discover One or 2 extra Spells that Silence or Polymorth etc. Have anything on the board that can do more than 2 damage and Actually stay on board until 9Mana when he drops 9mana Silence Destroy, then into MassRez Khartut/Infiltrator, next turn Grave rune his Psychopomp'd Rez unit, cause he inevitably gets atleast 1 Taunt back. So of course by the time you're getting anywhere against the minions, with so Many cheap heals available, he's Healed and discover more Spells, once the HeroPower kicks in Batterheads just blow you away.
It's such a Narrow window for success. And that Soul Mirror Spell can completely screw you over if you have Rush minions.
Me hit face. Me angry counter exists. Me cry on forums.
-Every aggro player
I strongly doubt aggro players is complaining about priests. They just condece at the first Khartut defender they see. Its the midrange or control players who hate playing against it
Vargoth turn 4. you have to kill it to risk him not getting double shadow essence. but if you kill it he just resses it twice.
another card that should be nerfed is catrina muerte. if you dont have direct removal you will lose. and you cant really kill her with board bcs of statues and infiltrators and the rng of them destroying something you havent attacked with.
Vargoth should be changed. (after you cast a spell cast it again once per turn) this will deny mass ress/spellstone/ress/servitude to trigger twice.
for catrina simplest nerf is to remove itself from pool of minions.
i know not many people are running kelthuzad but he has similar problem as catrina. you dont have direct removal? you lost. kelthuzad is good design but he should trigger only during your turn so enemy can actually fight your minions. and you have incetive to trade instead of going face.
We've been saying this for years but Blizzard have no intention of doing anything about it. As soon as he plays that card that summons a 5/5 Obsidian Statue, I concede. I don't know why the text says 'random' minion because in my experience over the years it is not, it is consistently Obsidian Statue.
The issue with resurrect as a mechanic, and this has been said countless times, is that there is no actual graveyard for cards. With a graveyard, you could only resurrect what is in it. Without it, you can resurrect multiple copies of the same minion over and over. That is fundamentally broken and Blizzard refuse to do anything about it. I assume because they can't or don't know how to.
In any case, you're wasting your time complaining about it. Blizzard are not going to address it, or even talk about it tbh.

Were your parents blessed with an intelligent child or just with you?
Sorry, but I don't care what deck you're playing or against what deck, there's no excuse whatsoever for roping every turn. If you want to be a 5 year old who screams because he can't have his toy, fine, but hopefully you'll grow up one day.
People complaining about priests when half the meta is demon hunters going face with less brain than the face hunters of old makes me laugh so hard.
Can't speak for standard, but playing res priest in wild takes fewer brain cells than playing an aggro deck, and I'm not even being facetious here. You have to take far more decisions when playing a pure aggro deck like discolock than cancer like big priest, it's not even close. And I play highlander/combo decks myself, aggro fucks me up far more than any priest possibly can.
Priest is the OG "fun to play, terrible to play against" class. But with expansion it seems they have moved closer to "boring to play, terrible to play against."
In the spirit of this ridiculous class hate filled forum thread, I'm going to play some Priest in its honor! "Wahh, I cant believe someone else likes playing a class that I find boring, wahhh!" I can't believe this thread hasn't been shut down, all its doing is breeding hatred for a class and play style that some people can't stand.
Here is how I see it.

Mana cheating always feels bad to play against, Res Priest is no different.

Priest is horrible to play against, if I match a priest I just want to forfeit because I can’t be bothered playing it.

Guys I figured it out.

priest is PepegaClown class , no skills required

I don't normally play Priest, after reading this I'm logging on to queue up some Priest just for you guys! :D.
