I've been playing for a couple of years but for the last couple of expansion, I've noticed that rogue as a class seems lost. The things that it use to be good at it no longer is. Being able the best at removing single minions has shifted to other classes (priest, warrior) and in terms of tempo specialist, it no longer can do that either.
What direction do you think Rogue is going and what place does it have in comparison to other classes?
I think Rogue will always have to be a tempo class based on the classic set and the Hero Power. I really want to make Miracle Rogue a thing again, but having to put bad Invoke cards in your deck for coins seems real bad.
Rogue also lost its identity as Mil rogue along its way...
Yea I noticed. I'm trying to figure out why even play Rogue if every other class seems to do its job better. Besides fun there is,
I think it’s because unlike other classes, rogue lost their key combo cards such as preparation (nerfed) and vanish (HOF)
With all the cheating out big minions and even cheating out wide boards without any form of clear for either. They don't have any natural defense. No taunts, heals or stealths. Rogues seems to have all the cons and no pros.
Only class I'm playing is rogue. Always enjoyed it since a long time ago when miracle had leeroy for 4 mana. But then it started. Nerfed Blade Flurry, removed conceal, nerfed Cold Blood, nerfed Master of Disguise (not sure if most even know about this card), removed vanish, nerfed my fav card - Preparation, Tomb Pillager rotation to wild as well as Azure Drake that later (with few more changes) resulted to death of miracle rogue, most iconic deck of rogue class. Most rogue decks such as old tempo rogue with Defias Ringleader, Water rogue, Oil rogue, Miracle rogue and a lot of others (Mech, Pirate, even Maly) could have had a bit different win condition but they all had tempo deck type.
Now, from what I can see, power level of cards is A LOT higher than secret pala, undertaker hunt even. I hate that they keep forcing some kobold nonsense crap for like 4 expansions I think ? Rogue class indentity is long time lost and unfortunately I dont think it will return anymore. I tried to play all types of rogue decks in wild but they just cant compete with new OP AF cards. Only deck I'm keep playing in wild is all in pirate rogue.
It is just how it is and it is cool that some of us had an opportunity to enjoy Oil and Maly decks with old blade flurry, old miracle with azure, tomb pillager, conceal, mill rogue, etc. It is just better not to lay hopes to not be disappointed later.
Rogue is going in direction which will help blizzard to get more profit from hearthstone, will it be 10 more expansions with dull kobold thing or will it be tempo/curve/miracle/otk rogue I dont know.
l feel like a boomer that misses good old days (while being 20 years old) after typing it but I'm fine with that.

Rogue didn't seem to build on past good deck it seemed to completely abandon them and start something new.

This space is intentionally blank.
I rather steal cards from opponent the be boring ass temp rogue.
True but that isn't a class identity. Being good at stealing cards can be tempo based. It more of a theme.
I’m really enjoying Maly rogue With Galakrond. Maly rogue has regularly been a thing for a few expansions at least.
