Priest is a class, which should without doubt be nerfed in the near future. The amount of board clears, and game-changing cards they have is insane.
Got a board set up? Wild Pyromancer will take care of that.
Got another one? No problem, there you have a Holy Nova.
Another one? Ah here's one more of Holy Nova.
One more? No problem! Here's a Soulpriest and a Circle of Healing.
Oh you so you got minions again on the board... let's use one more Circle of Healing.
Alright, so you managed to get a minion out again. Let's steal that one with Cabal.
Wops, now you put out a minion with a deathrattle, I'll just MC that for the turn, to kill your big minion and still get your Deathrattle Effect. Thank you.
Did you manage to survive this long? Here, taste my lategame legendaries such as Ysera, Cairne, Sylvanas and Ragnaros.
Trying to set up a large minion to deal with my Legendaries? Here's a Shadow Word: Death.

Stupid, overpowered class which should be removed from the game. Unfortunately I can't play it myself and faceroll through the ladder, because I don't have the cards. It requires to open the wallet quite a bit.
To all you priests, I dislike you. Learn to play the game with a proper class.
Priests are very predictable because their answers are very specific, and they're pretty bad at closing out games. Sure they're quite good at cleaning up new players and rush decks, but overall their standing in the meta is quite low.
See? Once Hunter got hit, there were going to be complaints about another Hero and their cards. It's inevitable.
The game needs to be as balanced as possible, BUT...that's impossible otherwise very few people would ever seen win rates above 50% if the game were truly balanced as some seem to want. It would come down to luck in most cases assuming skills are somewhat comparable. That is the extreme, but given that there are some who will complain no matter what, and are usually the most vocal...it is the logical extension of this line of thinking. Just my opinion of course.
It's a card game, adjust cards as a last resort. Add cards to balance things out! I realize that adjusting the cards seems to be the quickest fix and adding cards takes time.
Everyone here defending priests, please explain how you beat them.
Playing as Zoo: If you build up your board, it will get cleared. If you play defensive around Novas, Cabal and similar cards, you don't have enough pressure to finish the game before he throws his legendary cards out. You have one hope, and that is to spam your cards and pray to god that he can't clear them.
Edit: Just realised OP actually play zoo... yeah throw that rock into them walls of glass, didn't need that stinking house of lies anyway. (play a real deck... get off your imaginary high-horse).
Playing Secret Mage / Sea Giant Shaman / Zoolock. Get off your high-horse. What do you play? Pay2win warrior/druid with your legendaries? Please open your fellow wallet more to be good.
If you don't wanna spend money, you're bound to play shitty decks like Zoolock because it uses no expensive cards.
funniest thread in these forums today, OP should not be banned as this was obvious a troll thread for our amusement while we wait for hunter+leeroy nerfs to go live!

You haven't seen what priest can do to you yet...you should go play on asian server, the priests there are cancerous!
uh... priest is the weakest class in the game...
how bad are you at hearthstone anyway
This is statement is false.
How can you say that priest is the weakest class? I'd just like to vent here and say how dumb you actually are, but I'll keep quiet.
I'm ranking down and up around Rank 5/6. What about you?
literally within hours of the hunter nerf the hate is directed to every other class in the game. *sigh* i give up lol
I'm not playing Hunter. I'm playing Secret Mage / Sea Giant shaman / Zoolock.

I've hit legend... twice
This is statement is false.
As what? Handlock?

druid, my own deck style.
This is statement is false.
Unfortunately, I'm bound to play decks that doesn't rely on pay2win legendary cards. That said, Zoolock and cheap Mage/Shaman decks.
I play completely free to play as well, I just do it good.
edit: in fact i only have one legendary
This is statement is false.

Are you implying that you got to the legendary rank, as a druid, without any legendary cards? Please show me your decklist in that case.
regular zoo is a bad match-up if they have cabal-circle, midrange decks are better against priest druid, paladin or rouge.
This is statement is false.
why would I do that, the point of a secret deck is so it remains secret.

Say what you want, I don't believe you. My guess is that you are around rank 15. Give me a picture and I'll believe you at that point.
