Beast Hunter is at 66% winrate & worst matchup is the mirror

You could not be more wrong its at a whopping 53% win rate at any rank that matters. This deck also performs poorly vs the few/couple good paladin decks out there that are played by so few players that hsreplay or vs does not even have on there radar.

Ill defend hunter all day even though im not a hunter main. The class might be the best performing but 53% win rate is nothing to be worried about and most match vs them seem fair.

I skilled priest will beat a hunter deck every time and beast hunter is the most predictable deck in the game.

All hunters win rate at lower ranks just reflects how god awful the majority of the player base is.

Hunter is far better in wild and whats funny is 95% of the cards are hunter only cards and unerfed cards from og sets. It dont really even use neutural cards.

I will agrue that hunter does not even need a nerf in wild even those beast hunter in wild is t1.

Just causw you play a deck that lacks proper removals and techs against another deck or you fall to draw your removals/counters does not mean it needs a nerf.

The Beast hunter deck acutaly takes thought strat and planing. It is not win solitare deck like druid or the best deck in the game right now buff priest is.

If you think otherwise you are a bad and bias player. Now when the mini set comes out hunter might push over that barrier and need something toned down a bit but in its current state it is far from being op or overtuned.

Buff priest is only good cause ppl refuse to make there own decks and only net deck.

Also for merrits that show I know what im talking about…

Havent been going try hard or i would ez be top 100-200 like i have been multiple times.

Think legend 86 was my highest rank.

Idk if i have a screen shot of that but i do of rank 180ish legend.

Just cause Michael Jordan was so much better at basket ball than everyone else in history does that mean we should change the rules of basket ball? So others can compete?

Most the player base is awful at thinking and planing ahead.

Hunters power is so balanced acrossed all its cards it just shows the devs are lacking in making proper cards for the rest of the classes.

They went the route of making op neuterals to fakely balance the game creating this stale meta.

I would argue that hunters card in terms of power acrossed them all is the most balanced of any class in the game.

Most other classes get insainely op win rate 1-2 cards then they get nerfed and the class goes to poop.

Harpoon gun is not the issue.

The issues is every other class should have there power balanced like hunter is insted of just get op cards made that get nerfed to oblivion.

But the number 1 issue is how awful the majority of the player base is and how hunters base cards needed for the deck are generaly cheaper than the rest of the classes in the game.

You’re not wrong, and I’m not saying it absolutely needs a nerf. I’m okay with waiting for the miniset for any changes. I agree that big beast hunter has a clear gameplan that can be played around by better players. Its numbers are good but hunter’s usually start ahead after a big meta shakeup like the last patch, but still, I’m not particularly fond of powerful highrolls like Hydralodon on 4.
So I’d still revert that buff even though the numbers don’t corroborate with me when considering what to nerf.

I don’t believe they should base their decisions just on high ranks… that is a sample size of just thousands of people versus the millions that play

Yes, why not? ā€œRicherā€ people in game are the ones that put in the grind and can afford to craft FotM. You don’t even need actual money to do it.

lol we have a huntard player right here lol
You probably are not even a legend player right?? This deck doesn’t win or lose only by its board, it has some damage from hand and very good weapon damage with the harpoon crap and the wildseed generated weapons… Stop defending a stupid broken deck just cause you have no skill to play something else that requires at least 20% of a brain and climb ranks with it…

If we gona nerf decks purely based on winrate I would say aggro druid needs one too it’s close second.

But I don’t think beast hunter is broken just thrives in a board centric meta.

It will still have a bad time against quest priest

No it doesn’t. The only damage from gand is denatharius if you run it.

It’s a pure board based deck

Balance should not be decided by misplays. Optimal play of the deck should be considered, and that is why (and it has been stated) Team 5 bases their balancing on higher ranks.

More balanced classes overall is a fair claim, but ā€œplaying fairā€ isn’t every card gamer’s cup of tea. The Timmy crowd likes their ā€œMega OPā€ moments of glory, even if it’s a highroll, and certain cards cater to these needs.
Not so much in Hunter, it is more Volvo than Lamborghini Countach.

Print that out and give it to your mum to stick on the fridge.
Your rank doesnt make you better informed, especially without a top 200 finish, so stop trying to use it as an arguing point.

Finish a season on the leader board before trying to use your rank as ā€œmeritā€. You are not a high legend player, you are a legend player. Your entry to legend rank is irrelevant, its your finishing rank that is. and even then doesnt mean you have better insight on the design aspects of the game, so just drop it, or at least impress with a leader board finish.

I think the rank at which you enter legend does tell a lot,a lot more then the rank at end of season.

The rank at which you enter is based on your winrate when going for legend,which is probably the most competitive segment of the ladder by far (everyone trying hard to grind to legend). Then once in legend many players stop care,they start to play fun things and goof around. Only a small amount of players is really going for a high legend finish with the same dedication as they used to grind to legend.

Your logic has a major flaw in it.

Using it the first player to hit legend in a given season would be the best player, simply because they enter at #1 by default.

End of season rank is the measuring stick. End of season gives everyone time to hit legend, and then prove themself. Entry rank doesnt.

Been crushing this deck with Mech Pally. Don’t understand the big deal. Can we please focus on Naga Priest? Nerf Curse Lock Board clear? Banish Herald into the sun for Druid?

I don’t like the deck either but you don’t need to attack the person just because you disagree with them

It’s a lazy deck for lazy players and man does Hearthstone have a lot of lazy players. See this thing all the time. And it always plays out the same way. Turn one trog. Turn two doggy biscuit. Turn three harpoon gun. Turn six Bran DK.

This game needs a yawn emote so badly
