A History of Official Meta Snapshots - Every Expansion Since Old Gods - With Pie Charts!
Blizzard, by way of Dean "Iksar" Ayala, posted a whole thread full of pie charts about every Constructed Meta since the Old Gods expansion. We posted them here for you in easy to digest form, check it out!
Quote from BlizzardBeen doing some research on how diversity/balance affect player population over time and had some fun reminiscing over past metas.
All data represents 1-2 months post-launch of relevant set. Generally, the meta that lasted the longest during that expansion.
Summary
- Biggest Class representation: Druid 45.97% in Knights of the Frozen Throne
- Smallest Class representation: Hunter 0.68% in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
- Biggest Deck representation: Tempo Rogue 24.18% in Rise of Shadows
Definitely. Every class had their viable deck and rock-paper-scissors logic amongst decks were working.
Except Warlock apparently. But as we all know, in rock paper scissors, Warlocks are mushrooms.
I see a looot of Brown across all the Sets - lul right, "Rogue never allowed to be Tier 1" 🤡
damn what nostalgia that was, seeing and remembering the old decks and the meta
why does it say warlock in un goro was the worst when the charts show hunter in MSG being lower? Lol I remember that god awful expansion. I played over 500 games, and literally, not joking, saw 2 hunters THE ENTIRE EXPANSION. 2! And this goes to show how god awful frozen throne was despite the fact that blizzard said it was a "crowd favorite". That expansion single handedly ruined 2 years of HS. On a side note, Where is big priest on any of these charts because I remember for over 2 years, id play vs big priest every 3 games and made me quit. Same thing with taunt hadronox, witching hour, cube druid...
Oh, that's my bad. Warlock bias showing through there I'm afraid. I always thought Un'goro Warlock was the bottom of the barrel, but apparently not.
I'll fix it in the Summary. Thanks for the head's up!
Really cool bit of stats for the game and info on the history of the meta
