I'm sorry man, I can tell you're probably a handlock main or at least only play control decks. 

I can tell that you clearly are a control main. I was the same way.

 I can tell you think that you're right (because you said it twice).... but no, I play everything & have hit legend with different play styles, Antinodas OTK Mage, Dragon Priest, Pirate Warrior ...  Opinion still stands, aggro is easiest to play, that's why it's played so often, not many people want to think, or just don't have the capability of thinking. either way. trash is trash

the deck is very strong, but I actually agree with the OP. Idk why so many people are playing this. Wheel warlock is much easier to pilot and can win in any matchup. The DH gets rolled by most control decks. I guess it's good vs sif mage which is popular now. I really hate the way everything is balanced based on the stupid graphic where they list the classes and their overall win %. It's the worst thing that's ever happened to this game.

I think the winrates are heavily skewed mostly because the people at top legend play rock/paper/scissors and have 4 decks at their disposal. The best players just know when to pick the perfect deck to counter what they're facing and that has a huge impact on winrates. They prefer picking decks that are really good vs one thing instead of decks that are good in general. My theory is that people are fed up with all the control warriors, rainbow DKs and other extremely oppressive control decks, so a lot of people are playing combo decks that kill them without requiring a board like sif mage and spellpower druid. The DH deck everyone's playing absolutely annihilates those decks and that's dramatically affecting their winrate.

I am genuinely confused why everyone is ok with wheel warlock and not ok with the demon hunter deck. I played wheel warlock myself with a gimped list that was missing the Jailor of Yogg Saron card and I won 10 matches in a row from rank 5 diamond and got legend for the first time in 10 years of HS. Most of those matches I won simply by playing the 8 8 taunt + 8 8 rush turn 4 and then ignoring my opponent and going face every turn. In a deck that has 8 TOTAL BOARD CLEARS THAT CLEAR DEATHRATTLE and has an INEVITABLE WIN CONDITION that outvalues any deck in the game. Not to mention tons of healing and room for tech cards. But of course, everyone simps for that class so the deck will never be nerfed, but any deck that plays minions on the board will be nerfed.

 Wheel Lock requires a little more thought... got to know what the opponent might have, plan your board clears for when you destroy your deck, etc... Not to mention, 8 mana to start my game when there's decks that can end the game by turn 6 just feels bad.


DH is simply ... "There's a 3 on the top left of the card, and a 3 in the bottom right, therefore, I play the 3 card." and throw everything at the face. The smoother the brain, the faster the thought process.

"I can't see how DH have any wins"   

*Looks at stats* ... 70% win rate.. I think what  you meant to say is you don't understand that damage to face wins games.

Nah deleting this game now. I don't remember the last time the game was fun. The designers since Ben Brode left are so incompetent. 

 Doubt you actually delete it... See you again tomorrow friend

Hearthstone has been on the decline for a while. It is no longer a game, it is now just a blizzard cash grab. Hence - nostalgia xpac. 

Pls fire whoever's idea it was to have this as part of the tavern brawl instead of boosted arena. thnx

Literally all I want to know is...

Will there be a dungeon crawl with this expansion?

There has to be a 'strongest' build..

 

But yeah if in a years time divine shield poisonous murlocs are still the pinnacle of BGs it will be getting very old.

 

Still, I already find bird/beast/baron builds more annoying - atleast you have to stack murlocs yourself over time - there is something insanely annoying about watching a 2/4 cave hydra jump to a 36/38 or whatver the fuck...and they've completely squeezed out my favourite build which also involved cave hyrda but stacked in the normal way (i.e far too slow now) with buffs - Menagerie. :(

 Going to have to agree with the bottom statement here btw... Murlocs are 210% harder to pull off and make viable than T2 bird, T5 doggo and that comp ramps stats so much higher than murlocs that the only counter... is divine shield poison... aka murlocs

It's like fighting fire with fire... but instead of fire, we're using cancer. Welcome to Battlegrounds

From what I've noticed ~ I'm playing in roughly the same MMR - if you got 4th place on the same round 5th place is eliminated, you both were tied at that level 4/7 instead of 4/8 - and either both only gain a small amount of rating or both lose a small amount of rating - because in a similar situation I've seen a +2 rating from 5th place

Plague DK is unbearable without any counter to it.

So as highlander warrior 95% of the times you cant play against DK cuz plagues cant be countered in any shape or form. AMAZING work blizzard.

DH is last in wild, last I checked...that's still ranked

I just use Ranked to play meme decks - why care about ranked if you are not going to compete in some tournament?

If the game needs bots to be alive it's already a dead game. I'd rather play vs a slow real person than a fucking bot.

 Could not disagree more. The game's -fairly- dead, so bots are expected given how the game plays. I would 210% rather face a bot than someone that's going to start roping every single turn when he starts losing

 You're making a good point but it depends on what kind of bots they are. In my experience there are arena bots that have decks so well constructed that you'd think they picked all the cards from a player's collection. I suspect they are put there by blizzard to limit the number of wins you get, and give you incentive to keep playing. 

In ranked there seems to be "players" who always has what they need on hand and can deal with anything you throw at them. I know you can get it by luck of the draw so I'm also spectulating. Bots might be just fine if they can be beaten by anyone, but if players use bots that are designed to play an easy deck with perfect accuracy then it's not fun to play against.

Its S Tier. You guys just dont know what youre doing. 

DKs lifesteal freeze weapons shuts it down completely though.

1. My opponents ALWAYS draw him and most of the time they are also able to make him dormant again.

2. Are you really sure that you played almost 1,2 matches per hour non stop the last 7 days? If yes, you got more severe problems than that.

Put alexstrasza in there,After 3 Snake alex end the game

Guys, I swear to you this deck is 🔥

Insanely fun, perfect curve, win a lot. I can't say more. Just play it and you'll see that it's worth. 

Whole game seems unplayable

Wheel lock makes other control options moot

Any Tendril build is so stupid and tedious to play against.  Why can't the Tendril counter reset from 10 back to 1 in the same way Excavate does?!?!?

Aggro is off the charts fast.
