Hopefully everyone will ban Druid, so there might finally be something to watch on Twitch. Not this boring Druid clown fest.

They actually are banning it. You know this has to be fixed when this happens.

Do you guys even watch tournaments or did you come here just to complain?

In almost all the metas save Un'Goro, there's been 1 or 2 classes that are "must bring".  Remember Mid/aggro shaman from year of the kraken? Or even Force of Nature/Roar druid from before that? These classes will usually get banned or countered so if we get to see druid at all, they will likely be fighting a bunch of unfavorable matchups

Last year, the top 8 looked like this. Two classes were brought by 8/8 of participants and two classes were brought by 7/8. No thanks

When there is a clear "best" deck, everyone will play it.  Nothing unusual there, and the same goes for OP cards - not so long ago Loatheb found its way into every single deck at tournament level, after all.  People going mad on here about Druid, without realising that Evolve Shaman is still "Jade".  53 of 140 decks run a Jade engine - that's not an accident.  That's almost 38%, where 50% is the highest possible distribution considering how bad Rogue is in general (therefore no one will play more than 2 Jade decks).  Also 2 of the Druids are aggro, so it's not 100% Jade Druid as some suggest.  Aya Blackpaw is in 51 of those (can't explain why that isn't 53, btw, but I guess those two players would prefer a tech card instead of the top legendary in their deck).

Has no one else noticed the *real* problem with this meta, then?  Judging by recent comments from Blizzard, they certainly haven't.

I updated my analysis of the Priest deck lists with the entries for six more players.  29 Priest decks are now listed here:

Awesome, I was looking for something like that!

Unlike the majority of posts here I'm not here to complain about Druidstone but to ask a question and it is - Why doesn't SilentStorm have the Bulgarian flag next to his name? Didn't he play for Bulgaria in HGG? Everyone else has a flag next to their name so why doesn't he have the Bulgarian flag there? Is it a different european SilentStorm or is it a mistake here not displaying the flag? Whats the deal?

Each player wich we know decks brings Druid. is a 100% or "must have" class for ALL PLAYERS. seeing the rest of decks, at least all the players that bring Freeze mage, who cannot win agaisnt that cuantity of armor, will ban druid. Most of the others may ban druid also. If druid is 100% banned maybe Blizzard do something. My bet is a least 95% players will ban druid

So basically 100% players brought a jade druid, yet druid will be banned 100% of the time

The class is not broken man.  Just give the expansion time to balance itself.

Besides any balance changes will be made before 2018!  So chill, man

Are you familiar with Tournament Ban List ? Think it is fair to assume most players will forbid their opponent from playing Druid, thus there's no reason to tech against this decklist : what a twist?!

1/4 of the most notable decks are Druid, all meta Druid decks are rank S.

glad I get to watch and play against such a diverse class spread -__-

Hopefully this will be a eye opener for Blizzard when the majority of the bans will be Druid lul.

That's why this game sometimes called Esports in sarcastic manner. In this tournament we will see no druid decks, but when you queue into consructed - there is a different story. And more importantly - it removes any meaning behind bans. When all people ban same deck then bans have no point at all. There is no strategy in it. That's just dumb.

I am actually surprised. Surprised that so many people play Priest, when its matchup against druid isn't so spectacular (it's not too bad either, however). Druid is allmighty, so there's no surprise there..
