Bummer. PO is fun for various combos. Plus, it's a removal that costs you a minion, unlike many vanilla removal spells.
I don't see how using PO to get Leeroy to 14 attack is all that different from a 20/20 Cthun, anyfin, a huge Nzoth, or a 10/10 and 11/11 jade being dropped on the same turn. It's just a different late game win condition.
All of the other cards you mention will eventually rotate out of Standard on their own....that's the difference.

Quit complaining and just have fun with this game!
If Blizzard doesn't deliver the best expansion for Warlock in the history of the game come the Year of The Mammoth then they've completely killed off the class, I don't understand why this card needed to be rotated when Emperor Thaurissan was already leaving the format ... pointless.
Complaints about PO + Shadowflame? Sure it's a strong combo but at least it's interesting unlike so many other things in this game. Part of the appeal of Renolock/Handlock/Controllock has always been that you can pull off crazy tempo swings if you get the right cards and have a quick mind. I'm glad the Leeroy combo is out (even though I play OTK decks) but I hate that the loss of PO is how it happened.
Pretty much sums up my feelings about this one.

Most people are mentioning the Leeroy combo, but the combo that pissed me off the most was PO + Shadowflame.
Power underwhelming

since emperor rotates anyway the combo wouldnt have been in standard any longer. this move is stupid
It's a BS card that was super strong in Zoo and if Zoo shows it's head again it will be without PO feelsgoodman
S39 Legend - Quest Rogue, S38 Legend - Murloc Paladin, S37 Legend - Miracle Rogue, S36 Top 200 Legend - Aggro Shaman, S35 - Finished Rank 51 Legend - Aggro Shaman, S34 Legend - Aggro Shaman
I love this. Overpowered cheap smorc damage. Bye, Power Overwhelming, you won't be missed.
