Especially since priest is the most opressive class when it’s at the top, much much more than any other class.
Priest is the most “win more” class in the game, when it gets ahead it stays ahead and is very hard to beat, and very unfun to play against, thus I fear priest is doomed to always be a niche combo or big deck, otherwise it becomes way too oppressive.
Druids doing OTK in 10 different ways, Warlocks rushing you down before turn 8, Rogues endless playing 4/4s with charge and Shamans doing effectively infinite dmg in one turn is so FUN to play against.
It’s fine if a slow priest is at the top of the meta coz it can still be run over by aggro or out-comboed by whatever rouge/druid have at the time, but any aggro/tempo/midrange priest can never be at the top because it would just be too good.
Can you please tell last time when a aggro/tempo priest was at the top of the meta ? As far as I remember I have never seen a viable aggro priest deck.
As a mainly arena player, I can tell you the most disgusting meta was when priest was at the top.
No it isn't any more disgusting than any other class being at top. You just don't know how to play around priest cards and hence you find it disgusting.
There are some good priest decks atm, the problem is they're almost all braindead "play removal and draw cards until I can reach my win condition".
And no this isn't just hating against control, at least decks like Control Shaman, Recruit Warrior, and Controllock do cool stuff that make the game interesting.
I think a lot people hate priest because of its stealing mechanic. Team 5 should focus only on building Priest as a healing class. Mid-game board clears need to be added and decrease the stealing tools to the minimum. Building priest around deathrattle is not bad. However, I prefer old Control Priest which requires a lot of skills and decisions to play.

Control lock stalls the game till it draws Gul'dan and then you lose. So cool, amirite ?

That's every control deck ever: Play removal till you get your win condition.
I'm still good with 2 different priest decks. The thing I'm salty about is the only card of last expansion that I use is Omega Medic . Ok, for Mecha'thun also Dead Ringer and Reckless Experimenter but that's more for the meme.
That's way too measly for an expansion. The other cards are just plain bad on higher levels.
I hate literally every priest deck. I hate when they steal my cards (especially Drakonid Operative, such stupid card) or minions. It's my cards you dirty priestard! Rogue at least gets class cards but priest always gets best cards in your deck. It's not matter what tier priest is but playing against this class was always disgusting. Bli$$ard gave him pain-in-ass cards like Potion of Madness, Psychic Scream, some dragon crap and others. It's just annoying. The most annoying class in the game imho.

I agree in 99% :D Piest had always the most annoying deck's in past meta, I'm happy to get rest for abit because it will not take forever when we will see another priest tier 1 deck and i'm pretty sure, it will not going to be a "normal" deck you wanna fight with pleasue lmao :D
You might wat to check the actual stats. Priest has the lowest winrate of all classes currently. If you look at HSreplay you'll find that priest only has a 43,3% winrate currently.

I think priest is in a good spot right now. It's the other classes that need tuned down a bit.

Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP

One day this game will stop existing. I can't wait.

A bit of love is not out of the question.
Priest : I can control the board and keep healing myself back to 30 health, I am the perfect control class
Druid at 99 armour : Hold my beer.
Paladin is the same thing.Only boring bakudins everywhere i love beating them with my handbuff control when noone expect this deck
