Blizz likes to rotate the classes that are on top of the meta. Warlock was powerhouse for a long time. I guess, it's time for it to be on the bottom of the tier list (someone has to be at the bottom). However, zoolock was always competing for the t1 meta deck, just cuz of the hero power, so watch out for it in every expansion.
But then again, we shall see. Let's wait for RoS to hit and see how every class performs. Maybe something unexpected and EVIL will happen.

Don't worry! Zoolock lost Doomguard (that's a huge loss) but there is nearly always a viable Zoo deck. Flame Imp, Voidwalker ans Soulfire give such a powerful early game! And you can toss Knife Juggler and Dire Wolf Alpha in after Keleseth rotates, add The Soularium, Leeroy and a couple Sea Giants too and you will have an okayish deck.
And don't forget that Control Warlock can be a thing! Jaraxxus can see play now, that every DK will rotate out, with the Glinda+Baleful Banker combo you can avoid fatigue forever. Warlock still has Shriek, Hellfire, Siphon Soul, Dread Infernal and Twisting Nether. 1-2 good cards and Control Warlock can still be a thing.
If power level decreases, even Discardlock could be a thing imo.

Memedeck-seeker. Always tries to build new decks. Hates tournements, streamers, netdecks and poor-o players. ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!
zoo always find a way. Hero power and core basic minions is too strong. And Rafaam with 100% worst rng still better than shity minions in hand when zoo coming into mid late game vs control.
just because of the heropower there will always be a class that is worse than warlock... I hope shaman and warrior will have their time to shine cause those are the classes that are and were bad for a long time =(genn and baku aside)
Now warrior will have a huge hit because of baku and the armorgaincards right now look pretty bad but all around i think it's time other classes get their spotlight. When we think about it. Priest had it't time with razakus, then warlock came, then druid, paladin was around all the time, we had a lot of roguearchetypes, druidstone was a thing and now hunterstone so i think it's great to see some "bad" classes shine. Me as a warriormain that came into the game when warrior had it's time to shine i never expirienced a warriorheavy meta so i'm pretty much excited.
All warlock cards are garbage............Warlock will be the weakest class by far in the new expansion.
Rafaam?? RNG.
Rafaam's Scheme?? Garbage.
Evil Genius?? All eggs have rotated out.
Underling?? Weak fungalmancer.
Fel Lord Betrug?? Very slow and does nothing.
Good.

Zoo Warlock always in meta :D

Also, never forget that all cards released last year will need to be reevaluated, who knows what might happen with those.
THE END IS COMING!

Yeah Warlock and Paladin look really underwhelming right now.
Theoretically they can only go aggro, since Hagatha and DrBoom (the Herocards ) outvalue every other midrange/control deck.
Warlock bottom tier for the first time in hs history? Dont think so, warlock always find a way with his OP hero.
I think Jek'lik will find some way to shine after the rotation. Might not be tier 1, but it could still potentially work. Hir'eek might function too.
This thread is stupid.
Hey, Sr! Can u please tell me the lottery numbers?

Just ignore standard mode this year, let's get wild
ı thınk paladin dead..:/
I agree, there could be a place for one of those decks

You mean DK Gul'dan? The card that will no longer be in Standard? Mmmmmmkay.
On the other hand maybe our Lord and Master, Lord Jaraxxus will finally see play again.
I miss HandLock...
