Wow, the blind patron hate in this thread. I only play patron because it's a good budget deck. As a free to play player, I don't even have enough dust for doctor boom. If I had a million legendaries, I could play control warrior too and look down on the so-called "cancer" while not understanding how difficult it is to play.

Not enough dust for Boom, but enough money for Naxx and BRM. Seems legit.

I bought the wings using gold, and you only need the first wing of BRM. Unless I dust everything in my collection for a single card, there's no way I have enough, especially since I invested a significant amount of gold into buying adventures instead of card packs. Clearly you spend way too much money on this game because you don't even remotely understand what it's like to be a free to play player.

It's not fair, it was Australia middle night....

IDK it seems even more grindy than before. When I'm lazy and climb at the end of the season I have about 60 to 80 % WR because ladder is filled with bad players or meme decks.

Now I'm matched with legend players the whole time. So assuming I never get a win streak I need 25 wins just for diamond league. Compared to 20 wins from rank 4.  And If I skip a month it gets real shitty because I don't get any bonus, need 150 stars and I'm matched against Bronze 10 players. So how exactly is this system any better?

I hope they fix ladder until the expansion comes out because I already expect it will be broken for a few days like every time.

Seriously, who likes facing Priest?

Doesn't matter which archtype, every and each one of them is boring, awful and annoying to play against.

The Priest Overhaul made the class better, so of course more people are playing Priest now. And I really REALLY hate playing against this frustrating class. I know there are a lot of people who also hate facing this class. But yeah here we go, Priest is back and here to stay.

If Priest will be viable after the expansion hits the newly acquired players will soon leave because of how damn boring and annoying it is to face Priest every 3rd or 4th game. 

Maybe this is kind of a rant post, but I'm really afraid of the future of Hearthstone now. A meta where Priest is good is NEVER an entertaining and enjoyable meta for most players.

Does anyone else encounter an increase in Priest players since the Hall of Fame rotation and Priest overhaul?

why they are thinking we are interested in DH's cards?? enough 
show more priest stuff, only 2 cards...

 I am a part of the group who thinks that priest should be removed from the game completely. If I see one more brainless priest archetype which requires absolutely no thinking to play even at legend, I'll poke my eyes out. So, no. 

Better not be un nerfing Barnes, I swear to god

Why does everyone like to hate specific archetypes or classes? I'm tired of people feeling superior than others for playing control decks or the other way around and justify BMing or plainly being rude to people who play aggro or meta decks. And I'm saying that playing aggro from time to time and playing mainly a non-highlander self made Dragon Mage and Plot Twist Tekahn Warlock.

First, let's get this out of the way: I'm not salty. I'm just as capable of playing Priest and farming wins as the next guy. I'm only mentioning this in solidarity with the poor streamers and everyone else who is growing weary of this increasingly lopsided meta. Everything was cool for a while after the Shaman nerfs, but the more people see Priest winning, the more people play Priest, and once again we've reached a critical mass where only three decks really matter.

This isn't just a matter of "There's always going to be a best deck." It's fine if a deck has a high win rate, but it's not fine if one deck beats all comers from across the spectrum. Right now we see Quest Priest easily beating aggro, midrange and control decks. That's a sure sign that everything is completely out of whack.

Priest has exactly two bad match-ups: Zoolock and Singleton Mage, so those three decks are now the majority of opponents you'll face on ladder. This is, of course, not healthy. Even the Rogue that so many people were worried about is barely a blip on the radar.

As I said, I'll roll with it for as long as I have to, but pushing one bad meta after another does not make Blizzard look terribly competent.
