What's left is a fundamental contempt for Hearthstone card developers as human beings. The values that make up their humanity are time and again fundamentally repulsive. If you print cards that are willfully and on purpose unbalanced just to maximize pack selling, history will judge them as lesser men.
I don't think they deserve to be remembered by anyone. Trash is usually forgotten. ;)

Little is known how much influence Blizzard has on HS replay, Vicious Syndicate and Tempo Storm.
Wtf is this conspiracy shit
This isn't Qanon dude. It's a goddamn video game. Blizzard isn't manipulating third party wesbites' win/loss rates to push some specific card for no discernible advantage. Just admit that you have no idea what you're talking about instead of trying to blame your ignorance on some tinfoil hat crap

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.

Last time I checked there was no evidence Blizzard engaged into paedophilia.

I think the simplest way to balance it would be to change it's battlecry to a death rattle. Force warlocks to either kill it off themselves or risk it being silenced, transformed or stolen. Sure they could add additional deathrattles with by copying it, but they do that already.
I agree this card needs to change, as others have said either nerf the number of cards it burns or stop it being a free 8/8 burn another 5 cards. People saying play a faster deck hur dur, so 1 card forces a player to HAVE to play an entirely different deck archtype or instalose, seems balanced.
Don't worry too much. There is a reason why all Tickatus players are stuck at rank 5. Tickatus will disappear soon when they will all realize that burning 10 opponent cards with the occasional slow deck but losing every game against aggro is not a good tradeoff.
It is just like those greedy Rogue decks with many towaggle schemes. Good for memes but awful for ranking and only succesfull against the classic reactive deck like control warrior or priest.
Continuing to maintain a convincing win rate against all versions of Tickatus lock with ETC warrior and Big Priest.
Continuing to wonder what the issue with this deck is, in terms that can actually be evaluated with some level of objectivity.
Silence remains deafening.

and they moved coldlight oracle to hof cuz he mill cards says: we don't wanna see our player playing against card that can burn they cards" then they add tickatus, is just ridiculous, like mill rogue have a skill cap and you should really play well to mill well and stall, but this one just burn despite the hand size the deck size, it just burn, then wtf oracle is still in hof, bring him back and bring back mill rogue plz
Mecha'thun had a played win rate of >90% at one point, and if you think that's an asinine analogy, it's only . . . like 30% asinine and 70% instructive concerning using the played win rate statistic of a win condition card.
As for the drawn . . . I don't see where you see this stat. I'm seeing in the ball park of 80% played but not 65% drawn.
Regardless, that's not answering my question at all. Jumping to the drawn and played win rates eliminates a large amount of games with no justification for doing so. There's no question Tickatus lock will have the best win rate against slow decks. That was obvious from the start. There has nearly always been a cost to playing slow control decks in the form of at least one deck that has a marked advantage over them.
My point is, Tickatus Lock doesn't have that huge of an advantage against its best matchup. I wrote the post about continuing to maintain a convincing winrate with Priest and Warrior because that's the entire issue. If acceptable winrates are acheivable with those decks, what the fuck are we talking about here?
Also, my ego is fairly large, but it's never been large enough to affect numbers. Sorry you don't like me, Hog, but that is irrelevant to the topic at hand. As always. As usual.

Galakrond Warlock is dominating Priest with his worst matchup ResPriest at 69% winrate. His matchup against ETC Warrior is even, but that's only because Warrior has no real "control" Build, it's a combo deck. Control Warlock is also highly favoured against Priest and slightly behind Warrior.
In Hearthstone the mindlessness is absolute, reason, fairness, balance, diversity, skill, all those things that makes us human absent. The only thing that seems to count is maximize pack selling bij serving a mindless crowd. Hiding behind win rates while classes falling fro ladder, RPS is too steep, the meta polarized and opponent are being dehumanized by wildly unbalanced cards, will not diminish the fact that defending Blizzard and team 5 will makes you part of that cesspool. But who cares anyway, as long you can spit out pseudo-intellectualisms and feel good about yourself.

One day these people will realize they are hurting themselves as consumers. Maybe
Somehow they remind me those women who are beaten by husbands and still defend them.

It's funny because it takes only 1 card to show us people don't know how to play this game. Those who complain about tickatus don't hate the card but the fact that they have no idea how to counter it by playing a control deck and I understand such thing in a game where everyone googles the best meta deck, copy pastes the code and starts playing. You don't really see streamers playing control decks, not because of tick but because control got no support in the last few expansions, or maybe they don't like to play control. So there is no idea how to win against tick warlock as a control deck. I keep repeating myself, cards that shuffle more cards in your deck and avoid draws, that's how you beat them but again it's easier to complain on a forum.
And for the topic. I feel demotivated when I play against priest and warrior even if my deck has 70% wr against them. I hate those classes, not the decks they play. Tickatus doesn't mean auto win against any meta deck because there is a chance it won't hit any combo piece against combo decks or maybe some control players will know how to play around it. Its winrate is low (we don't talk about played wr because I suppose we all know how that works) and even the devs said they won't nerf tickatus knowing that this card is not the reason control decks don't see play at all. If a control meta will ever become viable and tickatus will be there to cause chaos, I'm 100% sure they will nerf it.

I really like the fact that you think for yourself and always stay true to your point of view, Hooghout. We may not always agree, but I just want to tell you that I admire your behavior in this mindless world full of sheep. After all these years, you continue being the same, well done!!! :)

This thread needs to get back on topic about feeling motivated or not about playing Control. Knock off the personal debates.

Tickatus has a drawn WR of 65% and a played WR of 80%. Don't you think that's a little bit to much?
Well that's the problem wit people with an ego lager than life. Looking at his avatar the mental disorder is immediately apparent to all.
But about Tickatus. Indeed that card needs to be changed. For now, as an answer for control decks these cards work to some greater extent:
Educated Elekk and to a lesser extent Bad Luck Albatross
