Now with mages and paladins getting a very tiny nerf hunter has become the biggest cancer on ladder, every game is a hunter and the most unfavorable matchup for hunter is hunter mirror where they start 1st. It has insane damage from hand and can even go wide on boards with Kolkar Pack Runner. Piercing Shot + Trampling Rhino make it so that playing minions vs them can also give them lethal.
I'll probably be downvoted to oblivion but every 2nd game on ladder now is a face hunter.
With this much damage and burn that they have you'd imagine you can make them run out of steam and cards but with insane amount of card draw they have with Tracking + Warsong Wrangler + Quick Shot and Barak Kodobane, you run out of hp before they run out of steam.
There is a deck more powerful that will save you from the hunters. You are not going to like it though, because in turn it will be the only thing on ladder. Rush warrior is favoured vs hunter. It is also favoured vs everything else in the game pretty much. Arguably it's even with control warlock. The stats show it's unfavoured vs control priest but that might not be the full story, because that may be a lack of playing around hysteria.
Look up nohandsgamer's rush warrior. It will beat hunter pretty easily.
Nerf hunter and something else then needs a nerf, right?
Warrior deals with them pretty nicely in my experience. Be mindful of the rhino, you do need to play around that. I do like when I don't bite for it and they end up putting it on an empty board. Turn 5, expect a rhino, don't leave a 1 health minion or similar.
For the record, I hate face hunter. I've hated every iteration of it that I've faced. Not the way I like playing the game at all and I find it tedious to rush rush rush which is what they force you to do. Toxic reinforcements comfortably makes one of my least liked cards ever. I completely get why it's not enjoyable to play against this deck.
so nerf whatever u dont like please instead of whining and opening post to whine and probably u will never watch ur post again next time ask to buff ur deck from blizzard so u be happy

Fair enough, I don't play much warrior and its obnoxious losing to hunter with 8 other classes. Their current damage output is still too much though and it feels like even if you go full heal/anti aggro you'd lose vs the current hunter.

You couldn’t be more wrong, but you already knew that and just wanted leave a slug trail of salt. Gtfo here.

hunter was dead for almost 2 expansions to be fair. Like yeah is kinda strong now and someone can get salty for that but in reality: its really That strong to call nerf?. I face a lot of hunters today and my winrate was not like 70% or 60% but it feels close to what i feel against Paladin. Is a matchup that you can win with almost any deck. And yeah is hard and yeah hunter has a lot of snowball scenarios but is just a deck that is strong because it has really good cards which is totally fine. Its not like they are doing really unfair stuff.
Hunter looses to paladin, priest and warrior. Its nowhere near that oppressive meta before nerfs. We dont need more nerfs, we need BUFFS to shaman and priest
Cheap free to play decks will never be nerfed, get over it. They need boring no brainer decks so f2p players can stand a chance.
I’d rather watch the paint dry than play hunter
Of course. Because playing Control Warlock is so much fun. So much thought into each play. SMH.
Control players have a tendency of thinking they are superior just because they play control, when actually the same principles you would apply in aggro decks are applied in control. Both types of decks need to know how to manage resources and what to not throw away, the difference is only on the pacing that each deck has.
Hunter is doing what Hunter was made to do, and for the first time in almost a year it's actually doing a pretty good job at it. Something a lot of people on forums n' stuff need to realize is that it's totally okay for decks/cards to be good. As a matter of fact, it's unavoidable that a certain thing will be better than others.
There's already been mentions of decks/classes in this thread that deal with it well. You can choose to play them, or you can choose not to. Either is acceptable, but if you decide to continue playing decks that have bad matchups against Hunter, while knowing you dislike the matchup altogether, that's on you. If you don't have the resources then I can sympathize with you, though.
I love that Hunter is doing well - it's far more affordable than basically any control deck, and with all of Hearthstone becoming cheaper with the Core Set being implemented it's all positives really. Hearthstone should be accessible.
Last week everyone was crying about Lunacy Mage being OP.. after nerfs hunter became OP.. Guess What if they nerf hunter another deck is gonna be OP.. STOP CRYING FFS and play he damn game or DON'T if you think is broken.

I've never asked for it to be nerfed though.
Pretty spot on here. I too, have always despised hunter as a class. I can’t stand the play style. However, this deck is pretty far from a nerf candidate if you ask me. Annoying to play against? Very. But not worthy of a nerf. The toxic reinforcements bit was a good point too, because in my opinion, this deck is nowhere near as strong as that one was. And as far as I can remember, that one was never nerfed either.
So long story short. Annoying to play against, doesn’t always equal nerf. I would recommend looking up what’s good against hunter if you’re seeing lots of them. I doubt anything in the class will be touched.

Yup, here we go. I literally call it every time. “As soon as something gets nerfed, something else takes it place, and the whiners move on to that.”
Do you complete babies realize that you always complain, and will never be satisfied. Just quit the game, you obviously aren’t ever happy.
Control players have a tendency of thinking they are superior just because they play control, when actually the same principles you would apply in aggro decks are applied in control.

I love you Dreadsteed, I will never disenchant you!

"Nerf Mage!"
*Mage gets nerfed, few days pass*
"Nerf Hunter!"
*Hunter gets nerfed, few days pass*
"Nerf Warrior!"
*Warrior gets nerfed, few days pass*
"Nerf Paladin!"
*Paladin gets nerfed, few days pass*
"Nerf Demon Hunter!"
*Demon Hunter gets nerfed, few days pass*
"Nerf Priest!"
*Priest gets nerfed, few days pass, next expansion comes out, cycle starts from the beginning*
Please stop... Every single good deck does not need a nerf. And Hunter is really quote easy to beat IF you play against it in the correct way.

The only nerf I want to see for Hunter is to piercing shot. It should only target enemy minions.
