There is too much stuff and mechanics in witchwood and the expansion overall too weak and kobolds are too powerful makes the meta is not too far diffrent from the last one (i mean.... aggro/tempo pally, cubelocks, spiteful decks are still on the top) and we already encounter that on the last expansion which is why now its boring af.
they should really more careful with the 3rd expansion of the year. Cancer decks from that expansion mostly survives on the next expansion (look at : pirates and jades)
The card pool is reduced a lot. It is normal that few decks dominate more than KaC time.
Problem is that the last two expansions before Witchwood (especially KOTFT) had huge powercreep to the point that those two expansions were the most popular cards in most decks. Witchwood was very, very weak though. The end result is that the meta continues to be dominated by KOTFT / Catacombs decks. Priest for example lost a ton of its really good spells (along with Raza . . .) so the best option remains spiteful. Druid has now become the same. Warlock lost basically nothing and aggro paladin got new options.
I think the biggest problem is that the cards with powerful win conditions (Shudderwock, Tess, Lady in White[if it didn't suck]) are bound by class for the most part. With Old Gods, all the old gods were neutral but they all offered strong win conditions. With Mean Streets, there were tri-class cards. These expansions gave a ton of flexibility when building decks. Baku and Greymane are "ok" but they're mostly there just to slap into tweaked versions of existing archetypes. They don't really bring anything new to the table, you just get free starting Justicar for restricting your deck.
Unfortunately I don't think the problem is easily solvable without sweeping changes so I probably won't be playing much until the next expansion. Hopefully it's better. How Blizzard didn't see this coming is beyond me. Pretty much everyone predicted that Witchwood was weak and that cubelock / aggro paladin would remain dominant.
If you're lookin for something strong and a tad different, then maybe give me some thoughts on the deck that got me from 15-legend? Any tips or ideas to improve it would be awesome!
LycanTV's 64% WR Spiteful Paladin
The problem is in all value you need in a deck , if you build a deck now. You more or less need to go 100% in to build a specific deck around something. Like cubelock , taunt druid , spitefull priest , aggro paladin.
More or less every card in all these decks are built around eachother , and you can see EXACTLY what cards you need in all these decks by a mile. Even before release , people where making decks. And they where all exactly the same, maybe 1-2 changes in cards. Its like they are making the decks for us. If you where to build a deck , lets say odd druid. You wouldt even come close to the power level off taunt druid.
They need to chill down the power level off how cards are working togheter. So we can actually try to build new decks, without laughing at how bad the deck is compared to the one specific deck we have been playing for ages now.
I will never understand what the community wants...
Do you want all classes to have a tier 1 deck? Do you want Baku to be nerfed? Do you want Pally nerfed? Do you want this and that and this and that nerfed?
Like honestly, if you can't get used to the meta or game, that is, take a break.
When you play 20 times vs paladins and warlocks for each time you play vs hunter something is wrong and need to be fixed.
Don't need all classes to be top with tier 1 decks but the proportion 20 for 1 is just not right,
I don't know what the community wants, but, I'm asking for cool build around cards.
I'm not here griping about the meta. But rather, the way that this expansion has failed to engage my imagination. I think they thought Baku and Genn were the cards that would engage imagination but the problem there is that a build around cards really need to be part of your endgame to be exciting. Just adding value is fine, but not exciting. Patches was super powerful, but not at all exciting.
