I don't know why they keep printing manacheating stuff, it has been problematic in the past and it will still be problematic in the future, it just feels awful to play against.
I understand the frustrations and the one card that needs an immediate nerf is obviously Lighting Bloom. As of right now it is the most played card, the highest rated card by streamers before it was released, ALL Druid variants play two copies and should I say more? There’s a streamer that did a turn 1 OTK combo with it! Turn 1! (Fun and interactive). Granted, it is not easy to pull off but still, the chance that it’s possible! Blizzard says it is still gathering data...wtf are you talking about? Can’t you clearly see how unbalanced this card is already!? Do blizzard developers even test these cards out themselves before releasing? I guess they don’t want to pay game testers...saves them money.

If anyone here is using the turn 1 otk as any form of argument then you are actually braindead. It literally requires opening exactly 3 combo cards in your opening hand. FYI it took him 500 attempts to pull it off and it was against the innkeeper as well. So if you want to talk about mana cheating, that's fine, but don't start throwing out straw man arguments.

....because it enables people who can't play the game to beat players they would normally have no chance against, and Timmy needs to win some games to have fun or he won't buy ay packs....see previous decks such as Big Priest and Jade Druid (yes, spawning 12/12, 13/13, and a 14/14 for 3 mana was mana cheating in my book). A true mana cheating deck takes what little skill there is/was in hearthstone and throws it to the dogs.

This is sadly very true. I would bet dollars to donuts the devs are fully versed in this concept and actively design the game with it mind, although nobody would ever admit such a thing for fear of instant backlash.
But back to your point, that is also why heavy RNG exists in the game. See cards like Puzzle Box and Amazing Reno. Half of the Highlander Mage players who are legend would still be stuck in Diamond if they were forced to play any other deck.
Druid need to be nerfed so badly, I had a turn 4 board of 6 minions including a flesh giant with another one lined up, and I still lost, i hate it so much

The most infuriating part is that they nerfed Innervate FOR THIS SAME REASON, and now they print THE SAME DAMN CARD(and now is even worse since Druid STILL has the nerfed innervate to drop even bigger things in the board).
And let's not forget the whole "0 mana cards is OP, so we nerf Gala rogue and Alex", but Druid and Kael gets a free pass.
T1 Druid OTK isn't a valid argument when the entire reason it works is because of a broken neutral card, not the druid class itself. Remove Kael'thas from the current druid decks and it should be obvious how much of a power drop happens and it'll fall in the line with the power level of other decks.

Fun & Interactive
Says the copy/pasted Demon Hunter 😂😂

What is the turn 1 OTK?

That Turn 1 OTK thing is disgusting.
Really, this is shit design.

Just play aggro , easy cheap and i can watch tv.

OTK players suck.

Yes, I admit it, I'm salty about druid.

No it is not. What is relevant is the win/rate. Druid's win rate is fine.
