Hearthpwn

People were too scared to admit the nerfs were actually good. In fact, they were amazing. Pirate warrior is no longer the go-to aggro deck as things stand and Jade Druid isn't quite as good. Things are shaken up and it seems like most classes have a few good archetypes and all classes are easily playable. Nobody would ever say well done Blizzard or anything though, it's always complain and cry and whine. Most people don't get this game.

Lets spot the cancerous priest fanboys!

The deck is not op but goddamm is cancer.I have about 65%win with handlock but boy the other 35% make me salty as fuck.They have so many random generated cards that you can't play around.A c*cksucker once thoughtsteal my alex and mediv,another won because he got 2 mindcontrols from lyra and one other found bloodreaver guldan from the kabal courier.Not mentioning that they always have perfect answers and curve while they are 1 of deck.

I posted in a thread just like this 5 hours ago so I'm just going to quote myself:

Decks that are bad for the game are not necessarily also overly powerful. Quest rogue is a good example. The overall winrate of the deck was mediocre but it was still nerfed because the queue up RNG was massive and this led to player frustration

While Razakus priest is not nearly as bad as quest rogue, it's still kind of stupid how games are highly dictated by the RNG of how early you draw 2 cards

As for me, I'm glad this deck is turning out to be garbage after the nerfs. The deck is RNG based to play with and against no matter the power level. The low power level now means it hopefully won't be popular at all after the meta settles

When the Hearthpwn prophets make a collective prediction, you can almost certainly be assured it will not be reality.

Remember before Un'goro launched and they predicted the Hunter and Warlock quests would be overpowered? Remember when they broke the meta? Remember that? ...no? Yeah I can't either. :p

And don't get me started on "nobody's gonna play Ultimate Infestation, it's too slow!!!!1!"

As far as I know, the only well-known player opinions that seemed on point, as far as the post-nerf meta was concerned, were Disguised Toast and Day9.   Most people in general seemed tunnel visioned on only one section of the meta.  Personally, I thought Hunter, Secret Mage, and Rogue would see a large rise in play.  What I did not see at all coming was the current build of Rogue that has gained popularity of late (see Asmodai hitting rank 1 legend with it).  Maybe it's my emotionally hope and optimism, but I don't see Highlander Priest dominating the meta at all like Pre-nerf Jade Druid or Pre-MSoG Shaman.

People complaining about draw RNG in card games....

Yeah idk what rank you're playing on but as you go up the ladder there are a TON of priests. It's by far the most common deck I've seen on ladder at least. It's really just been priests with a scattering of shamans and hunters in my experience.

So far it's like the player base has banded together to reject and counter the decks that are horrible and un-interactive to play against with stupid late-game crap: Razakus Priest, infinite loop Dead Man's Hand, Solitaire Mage, and at least some reduction in Jade Druid.  A flood of tempo/aggro - not hyper/face aggro, the more interesting and interactive variety.  I doubt it stays like this, but I'll sign up for what I've seen the past few days anytime.

I see priests everywhere, not just in the game but in real life too, i see them in my house, when i walk in the streets and at my job. But then again it doesn't help that i'm the pope.

I've played 12 games in a row vs priest on standard ladder. Go to wild and play, gee can you guess? Another fucking priest. 

I've had quite a bit of success with priest, and i also see quite a bit of priest.

 Waaaah. Cry and whine!! Cry and whine!! My deck with high winrate isn't broken BabyRage. AND OF COURSE you aren't biased, the guy with the fucking highlander link in his signature. God I can't believe how ignorant some of the people on this forum are. They are probably the same people who only visit the echo chamber news sites that tell them what they want to hear.

Oh yes, and by the way, my last 7 matches have been priest.

Why play priest when you can play other classes and win by turn 7 and have a +5% win rate?
