Hard to find a counter when I only have the dust to play one/two classes, I’d rather play against dh all day honestly. Certain classes are so obviously broken at the moment... Hunter, Paladin, Shaman, Rogue come to mind
Anyone else who just auto loses to any paladin, they always have Aldor/Day of school on 1, ALWAYS Hand of A’dal on 2, Goofy two shields on 3, then High Abbess into an 8/8 divine shield taunt, then giving it another 8/8 stats for only 5 mana... seems really braindead to me
Totally agree, those 3 classes you mentioned are totally overpowered compared to the others and all I see on ladder. Even the new cards follow the same pattern it’s really boring and stale and I’m having to convince myself to log on
Two of the legendaries announced allow board ctrl options to go face...control is gone its over unless they announce some that health is now 50 instead of 30 or reveal a huge neutral healing option that is ungodly ctrl is dead and 0 old gods will see tier 1 play until nerfs happen.
This thing is beyond stupid the current best demon hunter deck will drop a card slot this straight in and now that taunt you played to save your from your opponents insane hero attack dmg increase will now not only render your minion dead but thanks to nurse warblade means you just ate the same damage to the face because that's what demon hunter needs as a class more face damage to push it from being on the verge of very good to being oh my god why did i ever think undertaker hunter was op in any way in comparison to this hirseshit levels of broken.
Ah yes because a legendary that makes it possible for warrior to go aggro would never be a mistake *cough* patches *cough* but my opponent has a load of aggro rush minions on the board oodles of weapons and weapon buffs and now my carefully selected taunts and my own board which was supposed to buy me time to get to the late game is no more and i just ate 10 extra damage to the face while my opponent clears my board I'm sure he doesn't have korkron elites or weapons in his hand to kill.me next turn nawwww course not.
Rogue will have a similar legendary that reads this card deals your stealthed minions also damage the opponents face
Hunter will be when a beast attacks do x dmg to your opponents face
Mage is much less likely but still could happen
Mage Deal x damage to your opponents face when you cast a spell if they do this one i swear to god ill find the play testers and make them listen to me sing madame butterfly for 12 hours non stop.
Or if they have any sense it will be deal x damage when you freeze a minion
2 decks (potentially 5 if all my predictions come true) that remove the stalling power of your board, negates taunt entirely, and allows the aggro and midrange decks to remove your board while accelerating the clock in such an efficient way that means control decks will be tier 3 or below without absurd healing
I know its early but I am seriously concerned that this is going to be the new meta and if I'm honest i want to say i told you so come december when the meta settles and we realise dear god what have they done
Prove me wrong blizzard, prove me wrong
Compare the power level of dh cards to shaman for example it’s honestly a joke how they keep pushing these braindead aggro archetypes
Totally agree, honestly think Paladin the most obnoxious deck in the game at the moment, as a Druid it’s an auto concede and the cards that have been revealed look degenerate and stupid easy to pilot
Druid player calling Paladin obnoxious? Really?
Druid has the 7th highest win rate in the game right now, Paladin is 2nd only to Huntard, that alone should prove my point
Like Standard is the only format. Druid is currently battling Paladin for the top spot in Wild.
Also not for nothing, I remember at the beginning of the cycle when Paladin was completely useless. This game goes in cycles where a class gets their moment in the sun. It's currently Paladins turn. Not too long ago Druid was stomping people with ramp decks that churned out multiple fatties in one turn. I bet you were fine with the meta then.
The difference is Druid always gets nerfed in standard, when was the last time you saw Hunter not being a tier 1 deck. it’s like Blizzard ignore power levels for specific classes whilst always targeting others
As someone who mains Paladin, I can tell you Libram of Hope is rarely a game ender. In most cases, it's purely a stall move, or something to me combo'd with things like Argent Braggart.
If I'm way down, this card may just give me another turn at life. The only time it's truly a game winner is if I've managed to get it down to 3 or less in cost, as then I can play two, then later play a Lady Liadrin two get those two back and play another in the same turn.
Even then, my opponent generally has some sort of counter. Whether it's their own high health/attack taunt minions, or various insta-kill spell cards.
Yes, it makes games last longer, but most games already take a long time at higher ranks. Whereas games in bronze take 5-10 minutes, most of my games in diamond last for 20-30 minutes (even when I'm not using Paladin, though face hunter games are still pretty quick).
Every paladin I seem to face manages to cheat out a big 8/8 minion on turn 3/4 with High Abbess Alura which is impossible to deal playing as Druid, if the roles were reversed it would be instantly nerfed

All I seem to face is aggro (dh, paladin, shaman) all kids running the same boring net decks with 85% of cards from the last expansion

Check hsreplay, Paladin is clear number 1, dh only has blade dance as removal, paladin has tools for everything unlike other classes

Coming from the guy who probably plays the same boring copy paste paladin deck

At least you can compete with dh with Druid, against paladin it’s honestly impossible to win in the current meta

Braindead broken card

Yeah I think people are underestimating this card especially as Druid will most likely play it 2/3 turns early

Hunter is tier 1 as always, Druid has the 7th highest win rate, only way for me to compete with Hunter is quest Druid

Really not impressed with the power level of the Druid cards, makes me wanna switch to Warlock again or Mage

Stupid card that should have never been printed, as if mage wasn’t toxic enough now they add this rng garbage
