Change to a deck that is good against them and climb?
By the way... i would love if there would be a way to veto 1 or 2 classes, while you cant veto your own class. That maybe doesnt work for standart, but i'm also very sick of getting matched against Cubelocks, Priest and secret "i just go face and cheese you down" mage.
Every god dam release you got those 2-3 decks that ANYONE plays and the rest of the classes are almost unplayed. I find it terrible that you can build your own deck but always lose against the deck that you cant counter, while the netdeck person gets his "free" win.
@Goudhout: There is basically no real counter to Highlander Priest, it is the strongest deck out there by a large margin and it can win against anything. You can not find a single deck that consistently beats Razakus Priest. Also, my deck is not tooo bad against them, it just isn't fun to play against them, that's what I'm complaining about, it's just not fun to face ~60% of the same deck type, when there should be 9 different classes out there.
@agon_EU: Yeah, that is a great solution to everything in life, just quit what you are doing if you encounter problems. Thanks for your fun and interactive comment, it has been counted.
@WingR84: Yeah, I also discussed the possibility of having a "ban" on ladder. Would be great to remove these pirate warriors, tempo rogues, highlander priests or whatever the best deck currently is from your list, but it's not possible to do it, because it would remove the whole sense of creating counter decks and would probably hence even increase the % of Highlander Priest (or other top deck) played.
I can live with a class having 33% played, but one class (and in that class only 1 deck type) above 55% played is just wrong. Can't wait for next expansion, really.
Nah man, Highlander Priest is totally balanced. Just ask the rest o the people on these forums. It is perfectly normal to face the same deck over 30% of the time in the competitive ranks of a 9 class game.
Play mill rogue, it's a 90-10 vs Raza priest, they can only win if NONE of the important cards get burned, including smite and mind blast. Their tears are so delicious too.
This. Play Quest mage, or mill rogue, or quest rogue. It makes perfect sense that you play against a deck often enough that you actually consider playing something that is favoured against it, and just loses to everything else.
Yeah, it's ok to be forced to play a certain unfun and uninteractive decktype (Quest Mage) to counter an unfun and uninteractive decktype (Raza priest) instead of everyone just playing a good mix of fun decks. I'm totally ok with that...especially if I then magically start facing aggro paladin and tempo rogue decks only...

That is not about highlander you know it is about weird matchmaking system if you take too much rank at once it starts to match you with counter decks

What you should do is play a counter to highlander priest and you will never see it again. That is how it works for me at least.
haha, so true.
Yeah, we're all dumb fucks. Pirate warrior never was broken in MSOG meta. People just didn't figure out that they should have been playing the double earthen ring farseer, double ice block, double ice barrier, double mistress of mixtures and double reno jackson(yup, double legendary) reno mage meta breaker.
Listen, nobody is forcing you to get into competitive play. This is what you get for trying to climb ladder. Seriously if you don't want to match up against certain decks don't play ranked.

The problem isn't that you're playing against "certain" decks. It's that you're playing against the exact same deck way more often than you should at the competitive ranks.
And stop being so dense. Class inbalance hurts the game in both the competitive, and casual side.

Tinfoil hat looks good on you.
Really stop being a Blizzard Knight it is the fact. If they wouldn't do that people would reach to the legend ranks in one day.

LOL Read the rest of my posts if you truely believe I am in anyway advocating for blizzard.
I played this game for nearly 4 years now. I have reached legend multiple times, and I can tell you there is no such system in place. Sometimes you get unlucky and match up against unfavourables, but over a long enough sample of games that will not be the case, as shown by the contrasting times when I faced favourable match ups in 20 or so straight games. People just tend to forget about those because it's better for their ego to pretend they're winning due to pure skill.
Aggro paladin, Secret Mage, Quest mage, Aggro hunter there is many counter to the highlander priest.
Nah, Raz priest has a 60-65% winrate vs aggro paladin. also favourite against aggro hunter. And I don't want to play a counter to Raza priest, I want to be free to play any decks without running into 60% raza priests, which is a favourite against almost all decks and against all competitive decks.
I think blizz matching system is deliberately matching you with favorable matches (if you're loosing) and unfavorable (if you're on a win streak)... they do not want some deck to have 80% or 10% win rate...
that said::: for example:: quite often, after I switch to some control counter (after ton of playing only warlock, ((big)) mage)... I get destroyed by all aggro decks...
I think that blizz def has some algorithm to make things not go out of control... which I think is both good and sad... I don't know...
I mean:: I was in Amsterdam for WC... and before semifinals... they asked Ben Almighty who will win the whole thing... and he said pointed out Tom... coincidence ??? :P

Don't say that. Hearthpwn community will be hearthbroken. For most of them, only thing good about this game is highlander priest. Any other deck is just uninteractive, and boring to play against. And if you have any problems with that precous little deck, leave playing this game altogether.
I've never seen a cancer deck defended by a large group of people before.

Stop playing if you don't wanna face decks that you don't like.
Top deck is cheat
Change to a deck that is good against them and climb?
