Can't wait for this meta to end, honestly one of the worst for me. Thought the game would of been in a better place after the core refresh but it's somehow worse. Haven't been able to find a single deck I enjoy playing and any I have managed to find a sliver of enjoyment out of just get mashed against the same old meta decks and their anti fun cards. This expansion has been an absolute slog.
I hope something does happen with Tickatus. Once whatever nerfs hit next week you just know it's gonna be Tickatus decks all day long. It's already like that for me trying to play any control deck I'm guaranteed to face a Warlock and lose a minimum of 10 cards. One of which of course is always a C'thun piece. May aswell remove C'thun from the game at this point cause you can never play him anyway. One of the most anti fun cards ever printed. It just makes me not want to play the game. I just want to play my decks.
One of the worst launches ever. At least when Galakrond Shaman and Demon Hunter were broke on launch they actually sorted it in a few days. Spring Water Lunacy Exploit Mage is even more broken if you ask me and there still aint been shit said from Blizzard other than "discussions". Pathetic.
It's not just Lunacy and Spring Water that's the problem its she sheer amount of burst damage the class has aswell. Apexis Blast, Fireball, Mask of C'thun that's 42 damage majority all going face and that's not even including the spell damage minions. Apparently Blizzard have cut back the burst damage this expansion tho. Ha, fuckin' bullshit.
Lunacy mage is indefensible bullshit. It is outrageously overpowered if they draw Lunacy on turn 2. The pool of spells that works well with the deck is too strong. And springwater is the dumbest card to be printed in years. Free draw two cards on turn 4?
The meta would be much, much healthier if they did the following:
1. Delete Lunacy, or at least increase its cost to 4.
2. Delete Pen Flinger or make it so it can only target minions
3. Reduce the durability on Sword of the Fallen to 2
4. Reduce the health on the watchtowers so they can be killed more easily
how come nobody is tslking about the new 4 mana draw 2 cars for free? I has a Mage 6 cards on turn 4, then draw another 2 the next turn for 1 mana.....so draw 7 cards by turn 5........and then on top of that, Lunacy spells....and then the burn spells inhand....draw2 for free is broken.....
One of the most broken cards in the history of Hearthstone.
That's the main problem right there, it's just not fun. Six days into a new expansion and it's stale. There too many cards currently defining the meta that just feel bad to play against and its the same offenders as usual. Pen Flinger, Tikatus, Il'gynoth. I'm not even going to bother talking about Mage now cause that's just flat out busted. Nerfs for that bullshit should of been out like days ago if you ask me.
I'm honestly sick of waiting for this game to get better. I thought for sure after rotation and having a brand new core set that the game would be in a better place but fuck me somehow it's worse. Way worse. Unbelievable.
I remember when Galakrond Shaman was nerfed after a day for being oppressive. This Spring Water Lunacy Mage is way worse. Pity they are only going to "discuss" nerfs tomorrow, fuck knows when they will actually happen.
The deck is just an exploit as far as I'm concerned. It just abuses the fact that Libram of Hope is the only 9 mana spell and both 10 mana spells are busted. Combine that with shit loads of burst damage which Blizz were apparently going to tone down and just didn't bother and god like broken draw cards makes for one toxic deck.

Fun deck but as usual Priest ruins the game steals your win condition and sucks all the fun out it. GG Blizz.

Pretty sure Blizz are just trying to make the game as unfun as possible at this point. Leave all the anti fun cards untouched. Pathetic.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't see Spell Mage being any less toxic.

That's the problem with Hearthstone in general now. Way too many anti fun cards that are just a slog to play against.

Lunacy should of been nerfed to 6 mana same as Deck of Chaos for late game bullshit rather than early/mid game. If that makes it unplayable so be it.

I remember when Blizz said there would be less RNG this expansion and what do you know the Tier 1 deck is 100% RNG. GG Blizz.
