Undertaker Hunter Was Once 25% of the Meta
Hearthstone Game Designer, August Dean Ayala, shared some interesting numbers on reddit today.
Quote from August Dean Ayala
- Undertaker Hunter at one point was around 25% of the meta.
- Undertaker Hunter at its peak has a winrate of 55-57%. (If remembered correctly)
- Currently the most popular Shaman archetype is less than half of what Undertaker Hunter was in its prime.
- The highest class win rate Dean ever saw was Druid at 57%.
- Highest Single Player in Legend win rate (minimum 50-70 games) was around 75%.
- The Highest Single Player in Legend win rate is normally about 70%.
No, it definitely does not mean that the most we would see is 6-7% of any deck type. It means that 6-7% would be the "average" representation of those 18 deck types. There are always going to more popular decks (10% or more) and less popular (3% or less).
So Blizzard's data is anecdotal? Boy are you ever backwards.
Patron wasn't even close, yet they murdered it forever. The community cries out against decks that require skill to pilot, then get angry when low skill decks become the most played.
Also RIP Undertaker Hunter, that takes me back. You were cancerous, easy to play garbage but you also got me into Hearthstone by giving me tons of gold.
Mike Donais responded on reddit, a short time after the riots last November - the community was in hysterics for months about a deck with a 46% win-rate that wasn't popular on ladder (it was once the third-most popularly played deck, but fourth or worse in other seasons). They didn't want to nerf an already unviable deck which skilled players could pilot successfully - like the current Anyfin decks, which sport similarly low win-rates, but which skilled players can pilot successfully in tournaments, and on ladder.
interesting....how about some facts about tyrande?
Why so many downvotes on this comment? The Blizzard Fanboy White Knights are on the attack?
Still a better Meta than current.
