I honestly think if Blizzard would give velens chosen back, priest would have a chance to be viable in the current meta. That's the one card that allows them to compete with the early turn minions and still have some board control.  

No one is running priest in tournament because every one runs miracle rogue DUH priest is still good on ladder whatever dude just play stop whine....

Priest just needs so early game minions.

Again proof from tempostorm.com that the class is not competitive.  The top Priest deck is Rank 8 and there are 8 classes, what does that tell you?

 It tells me that you can't count, because there are actually nine classes.

Until Entomb rotates out, Priest can't get any good cards. Because Entomb is too broken & OP crap.

/Facepalm. Priest was very competitive with dragon priest and control priest prior to WoToG and Shaman was crap. Now the two have reversed, its a meta shift, that is part of the game. Nine classes can't all have a tier 1 deck all the time. Also I believe that priest is still fairly competitive in Wild, so go play there if you want. Throwing a temper tantrum and saying they should just "kill the class" because it moved out of the meta for a couple months is just childish. 

I fully agree. I could be biased because they are my two favorite classes but I feel like to a lesser extent Priest and a major extent Mage got the really short end of the stick when it comes to the old gods. 

This is still a thing? Lol

why does every class have to be 100% competitive all of the time? Before Standard Dragon and Elise Priest were both usable decks, and to an extent they still are.

Besides, why would you want the most frustrating class to play against to be overly present in the meta. When Priest is actually reliable he becomes very frustrating very fast

 Usable is not competitive.  Dragon and Elise Priest were never better than a Tier 2 deck AND Priest has never been a Tier 1 deck.  My question to you is why does Priest have to be non-competitive 100% of the time?

 Priest is more than capable of going legend (did it myself last season) - what more do you want? Stop being a sheep believing everything tempo storm says to the letter. Tech your decks, beat the meta. Perfectly possible with priest if you bothered to try.

Every answer to this thread is off-topic. The real question isn't if the Priest is viable, it doesn't matter if it is viable or competitive. The question is: why can't a non-competitive class exist?

 Why include a non-competitive class at all?  You've explained my point.  People don't play this game to lose.  Before you say they can play for fun,  ask yourself how fun losing is.  From a control vs control standpoint Priest wins. In a heavy, Agro, Tempo, Combo meta which most of the past have been, Priest is not competitive or viable.  Going back to my original point; if it's not feasible, why continue its existence?

 How does one learn to tech properly?  I tried yesterday and it was a complete failure, getting crushed by the very things I was teching for.

Maybe you should tell us how you tech, so that we can know what NOT to do when teching.

But seriously, if u are losing to the things that you are teching against, you are doing it wrong.

The title were the exact words of the community regarding shaman prior to WotoG.  Look where we are now.
