Doesn't matter which archtype, every and each one of them is boring, awful and annoying to play against.
The Priest Overhaul made the class better, so of course more people are playing Priest now. And I really REALLY hate playing against this frustrating class. I know there are a lot of people who also hate facing this class. But yeah here we go, Priest is back and here to stay.
If Priest will be viable after the expansion hits the newly acquired players will soon leave because of how damn boring and annoying it is to face Priest every 3rd or 4th game.
Maybe this is kind of a rant post, but I'm really afraid of the future of Hearthstone now. A meta where Priest is good is NEVER an entertaining and enjoyable meta for most players.
Does anyone else encounter an increase in Priest players since the Hall of Fame rotation and Priest overhaul?
I definitely encounter more of them but the standard highlander mage deck beats them pretty easily. I even ended up with an unlucky puzzle box one game and the priest started spamming well played and then 5 minutes later he still lost. It's made highlander mage playable for me for right now whereas before I'd run into too many embiggen druids or dragon hunters. They are definitely a long match so I can understand if you prefer fast games why their prevalence is annoying but I just thought I'd give the flip side.
Are you mad about priest or a specific archetype? It seems ignorant to be upset about a whole class being "in the meta". I can understand being annoyed at Mass Resurrection Priest, it isn't very interactive.
Yeah, the probability of facing Priest has definetly increased. (Playing Wild EU servers). Though I can feel you regarding the "boring and annoying", I still have to say that I'm not really frustrated yet.
First, Priest has been one of my favorite classes from the beginning. And remembering for how many expansions it has been really hard for Priest-Players, I also think it's goddamn time that Priest is back in the game.
The times I personally hated the most when faced with others Priests was when everyone was playing BIg Priest. THAT was really annoying!
Now I managed to get my 1000 ranked games with Priest by just playing meme decks, like my version of a Silence-Priest (which might surely be annoying for the players I'm faced with...)
In the end, it's of course Priest's class identity that causes games to last at least to midrange - because we'll most likely never see a real "Aggro-Priest" ;-)
And with the new expansion just a week away, a little patience should be possible.
Don't just conclude the whole meta is boring, or every player has the same perspective like you. You hating on the class doesn't make the whole class disgusting or be discriminated from other classes. It is Facts vs Opinions. I will hate Demon Hunter class, but I don't call out everyone to uninstall the game due to a fast meta this class will bring.
I have to agree..for the most part priest has never felt good to play against. At least with face decks the game is over quickly. Res priest is just the height of frustration in this game for me. Hopefully that will change with the popularity of some some of the new cards that could mess with the pool.
i am a main with priest, as Mage is my other class i main and tbh i think the only real horrible deck in standard to play against s Mass resurrect priest
I play Galakrond control priest which is fun to play and i do have to make alot of hard choices about removal, pushing damage etc
i dont like playing against hunters as i find they can be really frustrating, un-interactive and aggressive to play against with almost zero decisions unless "Can this hit my opponents face?" however i do understand there are other hunter decks which do offer different game style and its not just the whole class being un fun.
So i say priest is fine apart from the constant res effects, also its getting not too many amazing cards next expansion so it needs some good cards.
PRIEST is my favorite class and the main one.. but i HATE MIRROR MATCHES! it doesnt matter what archetype... priest vs priest is insta losing... for me.. because i quit
It's a toss up between ress priest and shamen / rogues playing their 300 discover lackeys per game for being the most boring match in the meta at the moment. Still not as bad as Hadronox druid was though.
Priest is the perfect class. There has never been a class so perfect like Priest. And everybody who says otherwise must be playing aggro and should be banned. If you play Hunter, your account should be deleted.
Everybody knows that control is the only way to play the game that requires skill, and doing nothing for the first three or four turns is very skillful.
Only aggro players play minions before turn 5. They lack the skill to see that the best minions cost 5 or more. Zilliax, Convincing Infiltrator, and Khartut Defender are some of the best minions in the game, that require a lot of skill to play. If you play minions that don't even have stalling effects, you must be playing aggro. Archmage Vargoth and Psychopomp cost less than 5, but you don't play those on turn 4. Only skilled players would know that.
If you don't like Priest, you should stop playing the game. Because only skilled players should play the game, and they can appreciate that Priest is a control class, and control requires a lot of skill. Priest is obviously the perfect class, and everyone who does not play Priest is a stupid aggro player.
... I mean, that's what I learned on this board at least.
When priest has a top tier deck, the game is usually pretty bad. I hope the class is playable, but not top tier, unless the next top tier priest archetypes play differently than previous top tier archetypes.

Seriously, who likes facing Priest?

woot !?
Im playing Highlander Priest with galakrond and Highlander mage is pretty much easy to beat. I rly don’t care about Mage.
But tbh i’m playing priest exclusively since beta and yes, it’s boring as fuck to play against priest and i hate it when priest is in the meta.
I NEVER played Priest Meta Decks, completely avoid to play degenerate Resurrect Priest. I always tried to play fun or meme decks.
I would love to play a pro-active minion based priest deck but Blizzard decided to not give us the tools we need to build a deck like this
Hard to fend off mid game vs fast deck with mass hyteria gone. Control wise is ok
Rank 7-8 all I see is Druids, both Treant and Embiggen, neither of which I can beat except if I get very lucky. I do much better vs Priest.
Blessings to you xD

Me too.
I have been leaving Priest Mirror Matches for a year now.
Sorry but i have no time for 30 min Clownfiesta
I dont care what deck priest play or if its a good or bad deck.
playing against a priest is Always a bad experience
they should totally create a new playstyle for priests.
one less annoying.

Killing a minion with Forbidden Words? Killing another minion with Shadow Word: Death or Time Rip? Killing all minions with Breath of the Infinite? Killing all minions again with Mass Hysteria? Killing all minions again with another Mass Hysteria? Killing all minions again with Plague of Death? Killing all minions again with another Plague of Death? All those plays are very skillful. Hunters would never understand.

I was so happy when they unnerfed Raza. Then I was quickly reminded why that nerf was necessary.
Priests suck.
Even priest players hate priest .. i wish blizz would replace priest with Demon hunter .. the game would be much better without them
