I played WD since I bought this game from 2013, and I only tries other characters a few times and I always use WD as my main characters. But now I really has no idea if I should continue to play WD or not in S30, since this very weakest char was being nerfed in S30. This is really ridiculously! Is there any one can help me to figure out why developers hate WD? Because too ugly??

Just because…
The “funny” thing is that when a WD build is effective, hop, to the ground (Hello Mundu, Zuni and Arachyr).

Blizzy only wants WD to be an effective mat farmer. Can’t have WD shenanigans in meta.

Helltooth and Jade get buffed.
I played a lot of Helltooth back in the days when it got a nice boost.

I was a big fan of zombie bears even before all the legendaries attached to it. I’m more excited about it now. For the first time in years, I’ll be one for next season.
As I take a glimpse of it, Witch Doctor is nerfed because either of their Sets create too many entities (ie. spiders) or tag everything with Damage over Time effects without it being a guaranteed kill. That especially a curse for group play to cause lag spikes, so they try to isolate the class away from it by not allowing it to get too strong.
At any of these mentioned cases, tagging demons with damage over time effects or mass of entities like free range chickens and fruit flies, burden the servers by making the calculation traffic denser. In return, developers try mitigate popularity of Witch Doctor purposely by denting its power, and attach their power to passive gains (ie. Altar offering higher resource sustain and CC immunities).
In case you seek any kind of power surge that requires you to have active gameplay such as Sets’ multipliers; an immense buff is not the answer. Witch Doctor needs an overhaul or massive tweaks to Sets’ theme first. Although, I think they can not even surpass Necromancer in group play even if they get a buff. I reckon, not even Blizzard team is sure of what to do with Witch Doctors at this point.

My least played class in D3 I disliked that goofy WD running around as a chicken from the beginning. 
I was very happy when they said that the WD was not the new class in the first D4 expansion. 
Glass Cannon LoD WD Spirit Barrage+Pestilence Locus Swarm w/ Barber/Gazing Demise/Ring of Emptiness is fun. Also running the two pet rings for some meat shields (Three mini gargantulas and 1 giant zombie dog), and the belt of transcendence to spawn a bunch of the fetishes for even more meat shields. 
RNG is being mean and not granting me ancient versions of my gears though. 
Do you feel nerfing was the right thing to do?
was not efficient before
And poor build.
Do you have ever play WD?

Go to ignore Avalon 
Never said it was. I played it because it was fun.
Read above.
I think what you’re trying to ask is “Have I ever played WD?” If that’s what you’re asking, I told you this more than once before.
You’ve no proofs, so… It’s like saying the Monk class is my favorite class 
And I like difficulty, sorry
I love the monk don’t make me drop some bells on you.

I have no proofs of what? Monk is my favorite class, by the way. Used to be WD… maybe helltooth change will revert me back.
And I like difficulty too.
Bye Avalon, I was a good time!
You play on console, right?
