Anyone else noticed the meta is just elementals for the most part? This season is starting off on such a boring note to the point where it almost feels like there’s little point in playing unless you’re happy to just try and force elementals…
Even with the tiering up of a couple of the core cards they just beat every other minion type (with a like for like hand) unless they opposition gets some god setup early on.
Don’t get me wrong, there are other minions boards to make which are fun and strong etc. but my point is more once you get into top 4 even with your good hand you just lose - because the other person is playing elementals.- I dunno that just doesn’t sit well with me and has made the game effectively instantly stale.
Again to re-iterate i’m comparing like for like.
God board elemental - beats god board any other minion type
Good board elemental - beats good board any other minion type
I don’t want to play a game feeling forced to play elementals or to (generally) accept not being able to place 1st just because… elementals!

Elementals scale a lot slower now, without a highroll they actually get out paced at the moment. Other builds will be stomping them before they get their tier 6 pieces.
If they do high roll, they lose to a venom murloc summoning board. Don’t care if your stats break the integer limit, run it into venom and it dies like anything else.
It was early in the season, the real issue is the Trinket RNG, there are some that just give you HUGE win % increases, the one that gives your first 2 refreshes all tier 6 minions being in the lesser trinket level bracket is a joke, should easily be a greater Trinket, this is just one of the issues, this season is one of the biggest RNG festivals yet which is really saying something given how borderline slot machines this game has become as it is.
I’ve seen plenty of tribes destroy elementals, the problem is the RNG part of the trinkets (as TheGuardian said). You get the right ones it doesn’t matter tribe you have you will roll over everyone. For example I had an elemental army that was massive, my lowest minion was 400/ 425 and I still got destroyed by a Quillboar that had insane trinkets that buff them so high one got to something like 2000/2500. Never seen anything like it.
It’s all in your RNG and your skill takes a low second.
I have to admit some of the trinkets this season are absurdly OP and swingy. It’s completely out of the players control as well since now neutral trinkets are weighted heavier since the last patch. That just means even if you have a board full of a tribe there’s a high percentage chance you won’t see a single trinket to support it. That is just crazy considered the players that do get them will utterly dominate.
They sort of fixed the tribes then went ahead and broke the trinket system.
