I understand he's really awesome to get and moonwalk to top two. But holy cow, is there anything more tilting than having anotherwise decent run destroyed by getting hit for 15 in the midgame because they have two 12/12 righteous protectors...
Can't disagree, Tirion is pretty damn OP and super easy to play. He is almost a free Top 2 in most cases. I'm sure some change will be coming with the next patch, so until then just be happy when YOU get him to recoup a loss from a previous match against him!
I think i have 8/10 wins with Tirion at 6k MMR and I often nowadays don't even pick him since it's quite boring to do similiar build almost every time.
He's certainly the one hero where you assume best case scenario is... to tie, when you face him. Which is a problem.
I don't expect a nerf though.
I agree that he's boring to play as, I'd much rather play Milhouse, for all his faults. Though I am halfway convinced the more I play Millhouse that he's not that bad. Since he can maintain a high health total into the midgame,
One problem with Tirion is he has no competition in getting his minions. Pushing tribeless minions is an awesome idea but right now this guy has free reign. I'm sure the hero power will be pushed to 2 but will arguably be stronger than Jaraxxus for that reason.
Watching one of Kripp's latest videos and toward the beginning he gives his take on how to nerf Tirion: "Remove Righteous Protector from the game."
It's actually quite clever. That solve a ton of problems with his mega-power in mid-game.
Yeah, that could make sense. That would also be a soft nerf to Daryl and potentially Edwin, but overall isn't a bad idea. I'm really hoping that they figure out how to balance the hero powers a bit more in the coming update. Putricide just needs a total rework.
Problem is how reliable and snowball-ish his hero power is. A lot of the time he can just click hero power and power-upgrade tavern tier ahead of everyone without repercussions, even if he takes a tie or loss in mid game for being too cheeky it won't matter because stats gained from his HP last forever.
Maybe limiting amount of buffed minions would force some tactic out of him? Right now he's picking his core uncontested and he's heavily discouraged from picking ANY tribe minions. If buff was limited to 4 or 5 units he'd have to build small side-tribe, or at least discard his early-game neutrals when he gets his end-game ones and don't want buff to "miss".

He's fine.
I play a lot of BG around 7000 MMR and I can say beyond any shadow of a doubt that he is not fine. His hero power is by far the strongest in battlegrounds.
Tirion is a good top 4 hero, but far from auto-win. He still loses hard in the late game verus Mech/Murloc/Demon as he has no way to make the bodies more than 40/40 and that is with Rivendare, Spawn and full luck with gaining minions.

Good try though, chief.

Seems since the last kripp video everyone is playing anti tirion and grabbing the early neutral minions.
first question. people still play tirion? i have been seeing leeeeeroooooooooooooooooooooy jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins constantly
Well, even Zephrys the Great think he's the Perfect Card.
There’s a word for Zandalari druids who refuse to pledge loyalty to Gonk: “Delicious.”
*Custom Solo Adventure Coming Soon
Tirion has to get nerfed ASAP. This is by far the WORST battlegrounds meta ever since its release. Games are just hot garbage now.
