Personally I'm not seeing a whole lot of diversity within deck archetypes. Rank 10-5+ seemed to be mostly Evolve Shaman, Tempo Rogue, Mid-range Hunter, Jade Druid and Highlander Priest, and pretty much 100% of the time there was very little variation in all builds.
It can't disagree that it hasn't got better since the Druid nerfs, I'm just happy Aggro Druid is gone, but I still think the game suffers from a serious lack of actual player agency where skill/knowledge can determine the outcome of a game. Right now decks just play themselves or pray for high rolls/card draw order.
50/50 win rates seems balanced but when it is happens regardless of player knowledge and practice. It kinda sucks.
im fairly certain it doesnt happen independent of skill. some players get to legend consistently every season with very few games and very high winrates. i notice my win percentage often goes down whenever there's a new update because it's a skill equalizer for everyone to be unfamiliar with the particular meta. it doesnt completely equalize skill but it makes it harder to have a huge advantage over your peers and lowers overall winrate. and usually the people around your rank are going to be within range of your skill level anyway
Maybe, although I feel like there's a big difference in 54% win rate decks and 58% win rate. especially in the hands of a skilled player. The tempo decks that are getting around the 58% win rate I believe have a high variance in winning based on skill level, as it's easy to make a mistake (removal vs face). In order to really be able to pilot a tempo deck well you need high level skills like reading the other persons hand.... that being said, that's probably a good thing because it implies that they game is now more skill based.
none of the decks have a 58% winrate highest is 55% and it goes down to less than 53% at legend
Very balanced meta so far. every class has at least one viable deck type and hopefully that encourages people to develop in those areas so it gets better (although it could get worse) https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/vs-data-reaper-report-63/
*note* i was referring to legend winrates but it's pretty similar at lower ranks with approximately 4% difference
best thing about this thread is it's full of people who judged the meta before a single game was played, complaining about judging the meta too early after thousands are played
I am pretty sure other people already said this, but it's still too early to know if Druid and Priest hav really goinf down. Although if what you said in the first day of the balance patch is true, then maybe they truly wen down but surely not to only 50%
they no longer show individual deck break down like they did when i started this thread, but if kazakus priest or jade druid were winning lots of games, people would play it and it would show up in the percentage
