Statistically insignificant, but I think it bodes well that the meta could be more anti control and hunter has a chance to kill these decks before they reach their win condition. Loss was to a Malygos rogue which is hardly a cancer deck.
2-1 Anyfin paladin.
Was already a "playable" deck, but obviously the slow down in the meta helps. If there's a lot of druid it may not be tier 1 however, 1 loss to malygos druid.
2-0 Burgle/Etheral peddler rogue.
This deck actually has buccaneer in it which still seems above average. Patches is still patches. They now have ability to hero power buccaneer but they have to eat the tempo loss. Now dies to 1 damage aoe which seems fair. Rogue seems well suited to compete in a slower meta and the fact that there's less smorcing, means higher value/more interesting mechanics like burgle/peddler are more viable.
I know that the meta will change a lot and solidify somewhere, but overall this is the most fun ive had playing hearthstone in a long while.
Me renolock, he pirate fucking warrior. I had 11 health, a 7/6 kabal trafficker with taunt, Brann, dirty rat, defender of argus a 4/6 refreshment vendor with taunt and 5 cards in hand. He had 2 card in hand and i didnt attack him with trafficker, leaving him at 17 hp to avoid mortal strike. Then he draws, plays upgrade, attack my kabal trafficker going to 10 hp and then double mortal strike. I was salty as fuck.
I hope some of you are not surprised by seeing Agro decks are still at large. It's not like any of those nerfed cards are unplayable now. They are just "balanced" and not broken.
Goes 1-1 ----> hunter may be playable. Play like 30 more games with it man
that's the part I said about it being statistically insignificant. the point of this thread is to find out what other people experienced since the nerf
Much more druids. Also i happened to meet more paladins aswell although decks they were using werent rly competitive. I tried some pala decks aswell but without success (not counting OTK murlock).
More rogues then ever. Fuck conceal, im so happy this "interactive" card is leaving standard.
Also more jade shaman.
Some retards are still playing STB in the same brainless pirate decks. Atleast you can feel they became worse.
A two nerfs isn't enough to kill a whole archetype, who would've thought? All that has happened is that the early game pirates gameplan is easier to deal with. If you thought 1hp STB was enough to make pirate warrior dissapear, you were severely mistaken. Give it some more time, over a longer stretch people will start feeling the extra inconsistency in their winrate. Until then, still tech accordingly.
I actually thought the pirate warrior win rate would stay about the same, because of the decrease in agro shamans which was one of it's harder matches. it's easier to tech for just pirate warrior than it was for agro shaman, which was a more flexible deck
Haven't played much. Still shamanstone. Beat one who played turn 1 STB into turn 2 Spirit Claws. Beat him easily. Misstress of Mixtures feels great right now.
22 games, 19 shamans all with the Jade packet... Fuck this meta...
hmm.. if I face that I guess ill just have to get good at renolock. I don't see anything else that qualifies as a counter statistically. I'm assuming this is midrange instead of agro?
Great. So, no midrange deck players should even fucking bother. Sickening. You're stuck playing stupid ass aggro or some annoying, completely non interactive Reno garbage. Terrific. Never mind that midrange decks are what this game should be pushing. You know, some board interaction. Some face attacking. Some decisions to actually make. God forbid. But nope, just dump your hand and buff your weapons or wait to draw Reno. Such skill intensive decks. Fucking joke.
I am having a blast again :D!Honestly i thought that the nerfs won't do anything and i still believe that people will start playing pirates again.However atm the game is great!Tempo mage,zoo,even midhunter!Now i actually think of my plays instead of hoping for reno.Board centric Comboreno and freeze mage are a blast to play now!Give it a try guys!
Edit:I take it back on day 2 and rank 6 atm cancer has returned more salty and bming than before.You can sleep soundly,hearthstone as we know it is back only after a day.
1-1 secret barnes/y'shaarj hunter.

Logged in a few minutes ago, got 2 loses against pirate warrior + 1 lose against aggro dragon warrior.
Rongchoi's heroic adventure decks
1st game on ladder, met Pirate Warrior, 2nd game, met Jade Druid...nothing has changed
Many more Druid Decks
Soul Parade :)

Still have gotten killed by turn 4 and 5 multiple times by Pirate Warrior and Shaman.

5 Jade Shamans
2 Pirate Warrior
1 Dragon/Pirate Warrior
1 Renolock
1 Renomage
1 Anyfin Pala
1 Midrange Hunter

Playing Reno Mage. My guess is the Reno v pirate warrior win rate has taken a 5% 10% jump. Midrange Shaman still just a comfortable match.
How is it great? Gets beaten by trogg, druid, rogue with an ease. I'd say it actually got worse since there are less aggro decks.

I win due to skill and lose due to bad RNG. :D

It rounds whole-number?
50 games means ech game represents EXACTLY 2%. no rounding needed.
edit: My postes are not meant as a personal attack. i am just surprised about the number.
