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.
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.
Or am I missing something here?
More to the point, the bit you are missing is that the Hall of Fame only ever refers to classic cards. There is no Hall of Fame for expansion-based cards. The only exception has ever been Odd/Even cards because they had an effect on the entire game and were an exception to the rule, not a "prescedent". Since Dr Boom does not have this same sort of effect, he will likely never be HoF'd. He could always receive a nerf (if Blizzard choose - pretty unlikely though, since he's not that strong anyway).
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.
Wait, what? Zul'jin is good but not more good than Tessa casting spells, for saying a similar card. Zul'jin could give you at least two extra turns in case that everything goes bad for you. Hagatha is a good tempo hero but most of the time the cards that you receive are too much situational. At the other hand Dr. Boom gives you a good surviability giving you 8 armor, doing 3 damage and, of course, giving all your mechs Rush and discovering new mech minions. He's by far, right now, the best hero card.
I think that the reason many people see him as the weaker of the 3 (I don't necessarily agree, but understand the thinking) is that Dr Boom does not make an immediate impact on the game when he is played (unless you get a lucky roll on his HP and have the 2 mana spare) - whereas the other two have a direct impact on the board when they appear. Zul'jin, for instanec, can outright win you the game on the turn he arrives, given the right spells and RnG, etc.
But for the long game, then Dr Boom is obviously better as he generates cards, damage and health. It's all about playstyles and the right situation for each. That all said, of course, Dr Boom is still an "ok" card and certainly not in any need of nerfage or anything silly like that.
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.

I feel like I may have said this before... ^_^
