They nerfed two Druid cards that needed to be nerfed sooner or later. Two OP cards that were included in virtually every single Druid deck. Its does make it hard to play Druid now, but every class has had its down time, and Druid has always been broken.
Nobody, save a couple of whiners like OP, really cares about Hunter being the most played class. Hunter has four different archetypes, and they basically use different cards (except for one, of course), and play differently. Hence, there is variety. And you get to figure out which Hunter you are playing against before Turn 10 - something you couldn't say about Druid.
druid was crap tier before MSoG and didn't hit Tier 1 until KFT. Even pre force of nature nerf druids weren't that great. Ramp was just really bad until KTF gave druid some survival. Now next expansion they lose all of their survival cards AND their main class cards are totally useless.
I was SICK of druid.. it was due time they nerfed those druid cards so a class can no longer ramp 3 mana ahead of you by turn 5 and cast a 10 mana card at turn 7 it was really obnoxious.. I am glad they nerfed druid but they didn't nerf hunter in the process which I think was a mistake.
^ that's not true.. jade druid was a really oppressive deck in unguru and druid got the strongest aggro deck in the game which essentially won by turn 4. (aggro beast druid) so sayign druid was really bad pre KOFT is a lie..
it was bad in MSOG cause there were essentially 2 types of decks: pirates and reno any other deck would be quite bad since it lost to pirates very badly. or get outcontrolled by renolock.
The game is actually very balanced with Hunter being the best. Checkout HSReplay.net for stats and what to play. Almost every other class has a good option accept for Druid atm. At rotation most Hunters will weaken a lot. Probably secret Hunter will remain but without Rexxar.
As someone who took a break last year and does not own Deathstalker Rexxar I understand the salt but don't talk about balance being off just because your upset there already is a thread for that.
There is no evidence of salt in my post. I’m not sure why people think that everything is “salty” when I’m merely stating the truth about the state of the game. Grow up.
Your username is Malygoddd. One can only assume you played Maly Druid. Thus, you are salty about the nerfs. It is your right to condemn a company for making decisions you do not agree with, but it's another thing entirely to find yourself such an important individual to create yet another thread about these nerfs.
The best thing about the nerfs is that Control decks can have a decent run from time to time. Hunter is not oppressive, and has plenty of counters, like many before-mentioned Control decks. When I play against Hunter, I feel like I'm playing a fair game. Heck, even when I lose, I think it's a fair loss. When I played a Druid, there were many matches where I literally couldn't do anything. That's not fair. And it's infuriating. But it was the state of the game, and I accepted that. I teched what I could tech, and took my wins and losses. But it wasn't fun. To me, right now, the game is fun and fair.
There will always be polarization, always. It's the way card games work. But I can beat OTK decks with my Control decks, and Aggro decks can beat my Control decks. It's good. It remains oblivious to many that your deck shouldn't beat 100% of its opponents. Many of you are on a Hunter-hate-train right now, but we shouldn't have to remind you about other metas where it was far, and far worse.
And about DK Rexxar; yes, very powerful card. But basically, once in DK-mode, you spent your turns making Zombeasts and playing that Zombeast.
Yes I do play maly druid and with success still, but I play many other decks. Where is the indication of salt? You talk about not being able to do anything against druids, but a lot of decks can’t deal with 12/12 on turn 5. Tell me how druid was oppressive and hunter isn’t. Against druid you died a slow death, but hunters don’t even allow you to play cards.

You either cant or dont want to understand how much bullshiet druid has been. HS health has been restored, perhaps its best ever.
And yes, not only u lost to druid, IT TOOK FCKING 20 min. You cant beat hunter ? You dont undestand rankeds

Well, boo hoo hoo.
Except your facts don’t support your sob story. FON Druid was a damn good deck. That is why Firebat brought it when he won the 2014 championship. And why Ostaka brought it when he won the 2015 championship. And after some Druid cards got nerfed, Malygos-Yogg Druid found its way into Pavels winning lineup at the 2016 championship. The next championship was decided by a mirror match between two Jade Druids. IOW, every winning championship lineup has included Drud.
The ONLY reason why I opposed the Druid nerfs is because the nerfs straight up killed the Quest Druid archetype. Other than that, I can see why they nerfed those 2 cards as they were auto include in every druid deck (besdies Spiteful Druid, of course).

Why would they nerf core cards that are rotating out in one expansion????????
Dazzle and dominate your foes as the Jewelcrafter!

Enough already. Let some other class play.
