Yeah, I also think of it as lorewise. Murlocs always had shamans in their tribes. But murlocs do not fit paladin lorewise, so that puzzles me.

And again you only look at top 1000 legend. those are approx 1000 players, have you ever done any statistics? 1000 players do not represent the 23.5 million players as of februari 11th. I got the stats from hsreplay obviously, but over all ranks not recluded to several players. Yes Priest is more popular than some classes such as shaman, but you don't nerf something because people like playing it. Also overall popularity of priest doesnt even reach 10% how can a class be labeled as most popular?

""priest players have chosen"" wow, if priest doesn't get anything viable (because heal priest is just dumb there is literally no wincon), priest cannot make make a single deck that can stand in the meta and not be the classic control Type. I really hope spell priest will get some meta breaking tools next expansion so there will be more variety. 

Quote from 3nnu1 >>

The rigging of the matchmaker and the weighted RNG that make the game almost unplayable if you pay attention to what is happening. 

Yeah brother, preach it!

I hate that exact feature of the game, but I understand why its in the game.

Blizzard has all these employees and they need work to do, since they're not doing anything else. So they assign one to every player to keep an eye on them, and if they start winning too much, they flip the switch that turns off your winning for the day.

It's a reasonable feature of the game, I understand why it's there. But I do hate it.

Gosh darn it.

Hey guys,

We are close to the last rounds. But there are still some hard matchups to decide.
Actually, would it be possible to include the result of the votes in the infographic?

Maybe only the winner score? I was thinking something like:
Card1 -|
             |-  (56%) Card2 -|
Card2 -|

Or scoring both cards:
Card1 -| (46%)
             |-  Card2 -|
Card2 -| (56%)

So we can have an overview of the score of all matchups from the final phases? And check which matchups have been really close.

Otherwise, thank you for the hard work on this! Really excited to discover who will be elected the 4 Regional champions!

Guys....why Thalnos??? He  is by far not as cool as the other choices. How is he winning against Mal‘Ganis?!

So clunky that you cannot cast all your votes at once, and also you have to scroll down every time you pick one...

Guys, it's finally happening!!!! Last night I had a vision in my dream and the Hearthstone devs told me about the nerfs and buffs that will go live later this week!!!! And believe me, they are craaaazy and will shake up the meta like a Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick!!!!

First they told me, that they will nerf Darkglare two more times. The next version will see an increase of Mana Cost, but they also don't want to hit it too hard, so the will balance this with a minor adjustment to the effect:

And because they know that won't do all too much, they already decided to nerf it a fourth time two weeks later. Cutting some stats and balancing this with another minor adjustment:

Even though they consider The Demon Seed a perfectly fine and balanced Quest, they know that the power of it's support cards can cause mild frustration in Wild and Ranked players. Therefore they decided to change some of them.

Crystallizer is a premium stated minion in an already okayish deck, so they will tackle this problem by giving it stats of cards that otherwise rarely see play:

Next is the long overdue nerf to Raise Dead:

For changing Backfire they wanted to do something fun and unique. The goal is for it to resemble other popular cards with effects that players love dearly:

For the buffs they considered cards that rarely see play but the devs could not figure out why.

For Eye of the Storm for example, they thought, maybe the drawback of overloading for (3) is a little too punishing and adressing this will increase it's playrate:

They said they were very sad about fun and board focused cards like Darkmoon Rabbit seemingly being not flexible enough to adjust to the current meta. So they made it more flexible (and from a flavor perspective, more in tune with it's nature of hiding in the dark):

They also wanted to make old cards, that once were deck/meta defining to make a comeback in a more modern way, by looking at the design of today's deck/meta defining effects. You know, Anyfin Can Happen:

And finally they said, that they tried to create the most wholesome and rewarding card of the meta:

Hope you're all as excited for the upcoming meta as I am! Have a nice day :)

Seems weird for a kodo to be low-health. All the previous kodos have been high-health/medium-attack statted

Im doing fine thx, since i got a real life.

 might be the laziest and most inelegant killing of cards I've seen blizzard do in a while.

Honestly I have never thought about this and I will not because it looks absolutely unimportant for me.
