Okay, this hero card has been out for almost a year, yet you choose to only complain about it now?
Maybe it's because year ago, EVERY CLASS had access to hero cards (aka infinite value generators)? Take the best runner in the world, cut his legs and make him compete against mediocre, but able-bodied runners. Will it be fair? It's the same story with Dr. Boom. He wasn't much of a problem, when he was competing against other strong (or even stronger) and high value cards. Now everyone but Warrior, Shaman and Hunter lost their legs, so efficiency of the remaining hero cards is 300% greater than before.
The card should be changed at least to remove the highroll potential. If you're in a mirror match, the one who gets more delivery drones wins and it kinda sucks considering that the hero power effect is random every turn.
I don't think it's Dr. Boom that's problematic, it's more about the combination of tools warrior has at its disposal right now. Turn 10: Dr. Boom, coin, Omega Devastator for example is a huge tempo swing, especially considering that Devastator also gets rush, so you can deal 14 to enemy minions.
this is not an expansion nerf. It would be a logic consequence to either introduce a hero for all classen or HOF the remaning. This will actually contribute to balance, especially warrior.
Note that this is not a salt thread just asking your opinion on this.
Warrior curently has Warpath, Brawl, Shield slam, Omega devastator, Dynomatic, Super collider, Execute for removals and Dr boom as a hero that gives rush to mechs and many other recourses (discover a mech, summon 3 1/1, etc)
He has way too many removals and he can clear easily big boards. But i feel that the main problem is Dr.boom's Rush to his mechs its just a huge tempo every turn since his decks have many mechs 2x omega assembly and a random passive to discover a mech.
So what do you think should he get Hofed, changed in some way or he is not a problem at all?
In comparison with Hagatha and Zul'jin i feel like he is way too OP.
Some classes get heroes, some don't. That's the naure of an ever evolving meta. There's nothing to say that all classes should always have the same cards. Demanding such things is merely petty and shows a lack of design understanding more than anything.

A year ago, a certain amount of classes had access to infinite value generating hero cards. Rogue, Warrior, Shaman and Mage are classes that didn’t not have infinite value hero cards. Also, your analogy just doesn’t work, considering that Warrior is destroyed by classes without hero cards. So Dr boom is, as you would say, being beat by legless runners. Hunter does not even have infinite value anymore, 2 mana deal 2 only gets you so far. And Shaman eventually runs out of minions, so also no infinite value.
Dr Boom isn't a Classic card, so it will never be hall of famed. I don't think you realise what the hall of fame is. Since Boom is rotating out next year, he will be gone at some point anyway so the HoF is pointless. The only exception that's ever been made is the Odd / Even cards because they were deemed to be completely dominant in terms of the meta and removed diversity from the game. Since Boom does none of these things, don't expect anything to happen to him. He's not even that strong in any case. He's a win more card, at best.
Baku and Genn wasn't classic either and they got hofed so your comment is irrelevant.
Because every class and their grandma play Odd and Even deck. DR.boom only playable in Warrior. And Dr.Boom is no Rexxar. And Team 5 didnt do anything against that freaking OP card
No. BUT. People should stop using him bc its getting repetitive. Repetitive hearthstone actions = cancer for ppl who play more than 4hrs a day.
Anyone who plays Hearthstone 4+ hours everyday that doesn't recieve their bulk of income from something related to playing (ie streaming) has wayyy more to worry about than seeing a card/action too often. Eternal celibacy comes to mind.
So what is the compelling case to HoF Dr. Boom exclusively when all the other DK Hero cards haven't been added to the HoF? That is the premise of the topic, no?

For the Sake of Consistency. If they didn't plan to add more Hero Cards (they probably will tho), they should have HoF all of 'em.
I agree that Dr. 7 is not OP and does not deserve a Nerf. Hagatha is also fine. And Zul'Jin is borderline Op. But no other class has this mechanic available while before every class had it.

In KOFT, Warrior dk is scourgelord which has no inifnite value whatsoever previously. On the other hand frostloch jaina deathstalker rexxar have even greater and much more consistent value generation than even dr. Boom mad genius.

Except the talking point of the OP was only questioning whether Dr. Boom should go to HoF, the initial premise wasn't all Hero cards should be HoF, lol.
Maybe I'm wrong on this thought... but doesn't HoF selections only happen at the end of a "Year"? And if so, then why petition for this when Dr. Boom will just go to Wild with all the other Hero cards.

Asking for nerfs just 1 week after the expansion was released is silly, specially when nothing is oppressive right now

No, he’s the weakest of the three.

It feels unfair when not everyone can have an expensive house or when not everyone can have children. Yes, it's unfair, accept it.

By the way, OP, love your Username. But I preferred Ticks And Leeches. That opening Drum Salvo 🤘
4/3/19 RIP Keith Flint. 😔
Yea that intro is killer but the best drum part of Danny for me is on Lateralus when he plays 4 rhythm at once... That guy is an alien.

And the post-expansion parade of baseless nerf/HoF suggestions that are too important for the salt thread continues.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.

Or am I missing something here?
Gul'Dan has in more warlock decks than Boom has been in warrior decks and Gul'Dan wasn't unexpectedly HoFed. It's not going to happen with Boom.
