TL;DR topics: maybe they have a plan to get more money. Maybe nerf sylvanas / rag as well as barnes. Wild is NOT meant to be broken IMO.
full post: (enjoy reading)
I think Blizzard waited with nerfing Barnes on purpose, to make extra money:
first they nerf the counter to big priest (kingsbane rogue) so that big priest gets stronger
then more players want to craft big priest so they need to craft lot’s of other expansive cards: ragnaros, sylvanas, obsidian statue, etc... so then blizzard gets extra money
but of coarse, as always, the players will complain. About big priest.
so then they nerf it but only refund 1600 dust.
you could argue against this theory with “yeah, but most players already have rag/sylvanas” and then i agree with you, but big part of the players who want to craft the deck still need other cards like ressurection cards or obsidian statue.
or you could say “yeah, but after barnes nerf, rag and sylvanas are still usefull” that is probably true but doesnt count for all the cards: probably obsidian statue will see lots less play for example.
this is just a theory i am exited to see what you think about this :-)
another thing i have thought about is also nerfing ragnaros and sylvanas, because they are high above average power level and imo they are bad gor the game. But yeah, they are kind of ‘iconic’ characters and cards...
changes HAVE to be made anyways. I am getting a little bit tired of these “yeah but wild is WILD” or “wild is just the dump for old cards” or “meant to be broken” comments because i don’t agree with them. I think wild can better be desciped as a ‘creative’ archetype with more options than standard, but thats just mine opinion.

honestly guys, I was into this kind of discussions since Small-Time Buccaneer... nowadays I am playing this game only in a small ratio...
NOTHING changed, new season, complaints, nerfs/buffs, further complaints...
Do yourself a favour, reduce the time spent on pc... it's not worth discusssing about nerfs/buffs because blizzard will always hold it's advantage in creating OP-decks to keep you buying or crafting... after that guess what, nerfhammer... and the cycle repeats...
Sry for not responding to your maybe-answer, I will check Hearthpwn next week.
Enjoy your life!

I think these decks don't match with the spirit of hearthstone, which was around long time ago, also the actual state does not fit.
Fighting for board, keeping it, playin around AoE etc. and win, because your trades and decisions etc. were good. Nowadays it depends, if certain cards were drawn/ played in time to decide the winner.
Playin against Shudderwock always felt like playin against Priest... taunt, removal, heal, taunt, taunt, AoE, heal, AoE... WTF... please cut my veins
I also played QR (after 1st + 2nd nerf) and Giggling made it fun for me, never was this good at mirrors, but I get it why people are hating this deck. Also had a lot of fun wielding a 12/4 weapon with lifesteal, but better ask the taunt druid, if it was fun or not...
I am glad, if the whole mana-cheat-cards are leaving the standard-meta (Skull, Oakheart, Call to arms), even if Oondasta will be around, which is kind of false from my perspective, but I crafted it immediatly, because it's FUN to mana-cheat King Krush or Devilsaur!

Why aren't people just leaving the game? This hurts Blizz the most... Bro, they and we give a shit, if you're lacking fun, play sth. different
Tbh, I'll wait until april-rotation and will decide, if I play arena only or even quit the game not because of hunter or the meta but the way they print cards for chosen archetypes only instead of creating a wide field of possibilites

Bro, now you underestimate it, they can scream up to four times ^^

One guy on an older thread posted a solution for barnes
sth like. summon a 1/1 role-player who gets the effect on a random minion
don't quote me on that, I can't find the post, but I liked it... after that they can res a vanilla 1/1

I think the reason could be the following
these two types are aggro, you can play taunt, heal, aoe etc. to counter it and come back
but how to counter a 8/8 on T4, T5, T6, T7, T8 and so on, I guess...
and they killed kingsbane, so there's no deck to hardcounter it, I guess again
nothing to offend you
