    Hmm. Sure, but if we are talking about winrates, a quick glance at HSReplay.net - Unleash your potential shows Rogue sitting pretty at the top with a winrate over 2.5% clear of the next place. Obviously, that's overall and not just "Legend" level.
    And in fact, if you then delve deeper, look at the stats for Deathrattle Rogue here: Hearthstone Decks - HSReplay.net

    That's 60 THOUSAND people playing this exact decklist with a 62% winrate.

    Now, I am not one to lightly pull the Andon Cord for no reason, but this is a bigger volume of players playing one iteration of a deck than I think I have ever seen in the history of Hearthstone. I can't remember the numbers for Quest Rogue, but it has to have possibly matched or even bettered that by this point.

     Go Priest and drop the silences correctly you literally will not lose. Correctly I mean right after their pop turns where there's demonspawn/invincible/ghoul. I literally will highroll my silence and clears versus Rogue and abandon the quest if need be.Most of the games they're out of cards around turn 10-12 and concede.

    So many abusing it is exactly why I go toxic mode against Rogue. Odds are I win, but they're gonna suffer through it.

     Oh, for sure - I am able to win against the deck for the most part (especially with my Priest deck, as you mention). I think the point I am trying to make is not whether it is unbeatable or not (though it clearly does have a good winrate), but more the fact of just how many players are playing it in the current meta. It seems to be flooding the meta in numbers which leads to very monotonous game play (if you are facing the same deck over and over).

    posted a message on Balancing wild format

    Blizzard have stated on numerous occasions that they don't actively look to balance Wild, because it is intended to be wild and over-powered for the most part.
    That said, there have historically been the occasional nerf when a card was so out of control or broken that it had unintentional interactions with other cards or the game. 

    But essentially, cards and decks in wild are powerful because they can be. And they certainly are unlikely to buff wild cards at all.

    posted a message on Is anyone NOT playing Rogue right now? Could this cause a nerf? (Just a Theory)

    Ok, so this is obviously a very subjective comment, but my recent opponent list is so dominated by Rogue Deathrattle decks that it definitely reminds me of the Quest Rogue meta of yester-year and that leads me to ponder the near future for this deck. 
    (And possibly druid if it is in a similar state, but to be honest, I havent seen a druid for days)

    And the reason I mention a possible nerf, is NOT because I do or don't think the deck needs one - but more the fact that going by historically similar events, when a deck becomes overwhelmingly preferred to play than most other decks and it becomes the singular go to deck for the majority of players due to its popularity, this tends to get noticed. And I suppose it makes sense, because Blizzard will want players to be playing a range of different decks and classes and not allow the game to become dominated by one archetype.

    So again, as I mentioned, the fact that I have found myself facing around 80-90% Rogue players is obviously subjective to me, so I thought I would see what others are finding. Maybe it's a rank-based thing of course. Since at plat/diamond, players are more focused on ranking, it would make sense for there to be a lot more netdecks and high winrate decks (which Rogue sits high on).

    posted a message on Burgle/steal and corpse cards

     While I dont disagree with the fact it can be annoying, I do think that this is supposed to be the downside to being able to steal or discover cards belonging to your opponent. 
    There have always been cards that are useless or cant be played by you if you steal them. It is what it is, really.

    For those of you who haven't seen or noticed (of which there may be some left), there is currently an offer in the Store of 10 free packs (2 from each expansion).

    Get them while you can. 
    Did I mention they were free?

    For those who already know about this, hope you got something good! :-)

    posted a message on Druid is turning meta toxic
    Quote from olestuga >>

    Who doesn't know that you can use an equally or more busted deck to beat another busted deck?

    'No deck has 100% win rate' does not equate to 'nothing is broken or OP'.

     If has a deck has plenty of other decks that can beat it (as demonstrated above), then it probably wasn't that busted to begin with, lol

    posted a message on Druid is turning meta toxic

    Hmm. You listed at least 2 decks (possibly more) that you state can beat this Druid deck that you are having a problem.
    If that's true, then it must surely mean that the Hunter and Rogue decks are even worse, if they are that good and therefore more in need of a nerf than druid?

    Besides which, there is so much disruption available (at least 4-5 cards now) that can ruin Druid's whole gameplan.

    This has been a problem for a while. I remember Mark McKz did a video showcasing the animations forcing the opponent to miss their turn because they take so long!
