Every class gets to do OTK's before turn 10, draw entire deck for 2 mana, remove any minion like never before, winning games without ever playing a minion besides their OP quest reward.
And here I sit, a loyal Paladin player, with a 3 mana 3-2 lifesteal weapon that I can't even use because it can't attack heroes.
Well my two main classes are Warrior and Paladin, nothing useful in this expansion, so I feel left out. Instead my two most hated classes, because I don't play them myself (Rogue and Mage) got all the Goodies, but let's wait what happens, a Balance patch could shake up things quite a bit.

Too early to call for Doomsday imo.
Yeah nerfs will come, I'm sure.
I'm not that salty either actually. Kinda expected this to happen. But it just sucks how little minions are being played. No interaction makes for a very very boring launch for me...
I know exactly how you feel mate. its the first day of expansion and everyones already playing the same decks!! i love experimenting and having minion battles
I tried so hard to make any type of minion based Warrior, Demon Hunter or Shaman work but Quest Mage, Quest Warlock and Quest Hunter are all I face at the moment.
I got the Druid Quest in one of my packs, and it's actually working pretty well against all 3. None of them put taunts in the way and just want to play solitaire and remove your minions (which Quest Druid doesn't really have :P)
I need to get Druid to 500 wins still so I'll be sticking with it for now until the meta shakes up and these un-interactive OTK / Face decks become less popular.
Well paladin got nearly an entire year of oppression, but yeah i agree that there are like 5 decks that dont interact with the game, they just do otk, i for example am playing delete warlock that finaly does something with the new quest
Miracle rogue is godlike now but I already give up the deck, really feels like you are playing Solitaire, for some games is fun but become boring pretty fast.
Turn 7-8 you draw the entire deck and give more than 30 damage with an empty board, I don't know how to fix this without send the goblin to the Wild, to make things even worse the quests are not far behind this, if you destroy Miracle Rogue the quests take her place.
The truth is, almost all new quests are terrible designed cards, too strong to eclipse every other option for many classes and too similar for the game plan the meta will degenerate pretty fast.
It is a cliche say "Worst meta ever" but I fear this time the claim will be justified.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm currently winning every matchup other than paladin as a shadow control priest. I've beaten a whole slew of aggressive quest decks by just healing and controlling the board and watching them run out of fuel, but paladins have just rebuilt too quickly and easily for me to hold on.

Mage and Warlock? Run out of fuel? You are talking about Hearthstone?
hahaha, sorry dude, im playing priest since beta wit 2.9K ranked wins playing priest legend every season and i played ShadowPriest night & day since yesterday and No, your not winning every matchup except Paladin, this is just a lie and not the truth.
ShadowPriest "CAN" beat some greedy mages IF You have the perfect Mulligan -sometimes- , same with Warlocks. But you'll never ever ever ever win every matchup except paladins. Jesus Dude, just calm down, yeah you won 2 matches in a row with a god hand, but dont tell us SP is a thing, its pure trash atm
I feel you man, I don’t understand why Paladin gets 1 good expansion and then poop for the rest of the year…
Oh please....let's not pretend as if the devs haven't had a hard on for that class the past year plus. Between Libram and Secret support, they have done more than enough to make the class viable for multiple archetypes - it just so happens they got carried away last expansion.

Don't worry, they're cooking up a spicy murloc synergy set to get you back in your groove next expansion.
Look forward to it!

Play wild. Paladin got the single best card of the set in the 3 mana draw plus handbuff
yeah it feells pretty strange and not healthy right now. i have'tn been OTK't for SO many times, every class kills you before Turn 10
-Quest Druid
-Quest Demon Hunter
-Quest Hunter
-Quest Warlock Quest Mage
-Quest Shaman
they all play no or just very few minions
Rogue plays some minions but in the end, he OTK's you from 18 to zero Turn 8 with Spells Spells Spells.
Warrior plays Pirates, that it so far.
I know exactly how you feel mate. its the first day of expansion and everyones already playing the same decks!! i love experimenting and having minion battles
Warrior got nothing? Youre talking about Hearthstone?
You should check your cards again dude..

That happens when blizzard gives a prelaunch for streamers so in day one everyone knows what to play

Is this supposed to be a joke ? Pala had at least one Tier 1 Deck ever since they introduced Librams, which was how many expansions ago ? 4 ?
I play this game just so I can donate money to indie Blizzard.
No worry, Priest can compete with Paladin to be in the trash-tier with this expansion cycle.

Are you for real?
From the high legend decks article posted on Hearthpwn today, 11 hours before your whiny post mind you.
