I am able to read, don’t ya worry, I am also able to recheck information that I receive, indeed big priest is 8% of the meta at vicious sindicate but it is in the folder “all ranks” if we check “4 rank and above” we will see that majority of the meta is warlocks rogues and paladins, and the most common decks are Kingsbane Rogue (10.93%) and even shaman (7.73%) and only than a big priest with 7.27% and the winrate information at this ranks is shadowy the reason is plain-lack of data

you can check my statements here at vicious syndicate

50 games per matchup is a small sample, and in case of wild I d rather trust Myself, judging buy this report dragon priest is favorable matchup for big priest, but in real life, thanks to potion of madness and it’s otk inner fire priest always wins against big priest, and as I already stated above people is playing agro not because of big priest but because Aggro in wild is Brocken and deserves a nerf even more than big priest do 

I think that we are playing different wild modes, last month I played 100+ games and only 3-4 against big priests, btw any other priest deck, and agro “rapes” big priest hard, and mid decks in wild are good, see even shaman or evenlock, both have  winrate above 55% 

Reminding you that it was boomsday, and star aligner Druid could finish you off on turn 7 with rolling psychmelon, may be at this point it is me who is subjective Druid is dullest class to me who only rely on getting ramp and draw early on and then pulling a combo which is annoying to me. And yeah, if blizz would do mounthly nerfs in wild or at least some “brawl type” rules for a weak or two that would make this mode fresh, maybe even banning some cards would be a great solution 

Naga as well as aviana kun combos were REALLY high roll based decks, they were very lame and unfun so the  decision to nerf them was correct or wild would feel staled (right now new decks do appear so wild is developing in a way blizz, want it to develope)

Your arguments a subjective, my point was that big priest has weak points and turn 4 Barnes is not unwinnable. And the problem you mentioned can be rearranged against any deck “the problem is the fact that for example kingsbane rogue winrate skyrockets based solely on whetether they drew their raiding party and what they will topdeck after, also it fells  awful to play against because no one likes to be pushed by the same weapon over and over again.”I can see your point, but I also can see that after Barnes/res will get their nerf everyone will find another wild deck and will cry about how unbalanced it is. I agree the Barnes problem do exist, but if team 5 will decide to fix it they should not only nerf Barnes, because he is not the only problem that plagues the wild meta 

Big priest can be out valued by odd war, it is also weak against otk decks, the only win condition is early rag, you can also tech your deck with some cards like tinkmaster overspark, who is ok against other decks of the meta, btw, big priest is not a deck that provides you a stable win, an at high ranks I personally didn’t meet a single big priest last season 

It is the problem of broken Aggro strategies, a problem of kingsbane rogues infinite weapon, Murlock paladin otk, and agro mages possibility to build a  huge board on turn 4-5 and prevent an aoe with Counterspell, a problem of dragon iner fire priest otk you on turn 3 with 28/28 elemental, without big priest this decks won’t disappear 

Not big priest players would feel leftied but players who are playing big rogue, Maly shaman, and some other decks which includes Barnes, yeah I agree that Barnes into yshaarj is a dull win condition, but in this case we need to change the way ysaarj and res cards works, because cheating out a 1/1 on turn 4  is not a big deal, if it is not an yshaarj or you don’t have res cards in hand. 

But in my opinion, no problem with Barnes at all, big priest is winnable with Barnes at turn 4, different decks have an answers to it even without thrash tier counter cards

The problem is the power level of this swing turns, and turn 4 Barnes is just a 4/5 with some effect (if Barnes didn’t summon yshaarj) and still you need a res card for future swing turns. Also my point wasn’t just to say that there are other turns of the some power level but also to say that after Barnes nerf the cards above will meet the same hatred of players Barnes is facing now, and also it just won’t be honest to nerf only Barnes, players who injoy playing big decks (not only priest plays Barnes btw) will feel left behind  

Why most of wild players are so salty of Barnes? I’m not a big priest player, but I think if blizzard will decide to fix Barnes they also need to fix voidcaller and molten giants both allows the same swing turns. But no one is complaining about cubelock turn 3 demon sense into turn 4 caller pact or pally turn 3 Thekal. And in game mode there such turns is not even considered a problem it’s fine to have card like Barnes 

P.S. you can easily tech your deck agains priest ressumoning mechanic, so just please if you are writing about nerfs in wild alongside Barnes remind blizzard about thing from bellow, Kingsbane, voidcaller,Kabal crystal runner, potion of madness and lots of other cards that allows unfair swing turns 

Op, 400 dust
