make it happen devs every single class has spent time at the very bottom save Hunters make it happen next expansion.
There has been plenty…

Yet in typical Mand arguments no PROOF. Please oh great one when Hunter deck was dead last?
You mean like when they kept pushing bad control cards at a time when other classes’ aggro was outpacing them? Face shaman did it, as did pirate warrior. Hunters vanished completely.
If you really want to quibble about whether they or Priest was actually at the bottom, that seems like an unfair fight, no?

Un’goro and Koft was super awful for hunters, Warlocks too.

Un’Goro Hunter was 2nd to last I believe and KoFT Hunter was last.
I want to also say that Hunter was fairly awful in ONiK and MSoG but I’d need to dig for tier lists. I do remember though that it couldn’t deal with Midrange Shaman at all until the Spirit of the Claw nerfs and I think after that nerf it couldn’t deal with Pirate Warrior.

Well actually hunter used to be a dead class at every single metagame between undertaker meta and rise of old gods.
Then they had CoW nerfed and returned to be a dead class until the start of the year of the Mammoth were they were decent at best until rastakhan’s rumble.
From here you know the history.

Wasn’t hunter dead for a long time after the slew of nerfs to hounds, buzzard, and mark? There was a brief resurgence during undertaker, and then that was nerfed causing hunter to begin its fade into obscurity.
Hunter only became relevant again after witchwood if I recall correctly. At that time it was still suppressed by Druid and Paladin until Druid’s ramp game collapsed and Paladin lost its odd game.

What are you kidding? There were metas where hunter saw literally zero play. Before you rip on a guy, maybe use your google machine.

Wasn’t Hunter basically Non-existent in Journey to Un’Goro and Knights of the Frozen Throne?

Hush. We don’t talk about things that may contradict the assumption.
IIRC, the year of the Kraken was also a bit on the lean pickings side for Hunters
Hunter was bad for so long that it completely deserved some serious support.

The DKs are in Wild, which accounts for a lot.
Hunter is fine as of right now, Imo.
Occasionally Da Big Axe causes me to reconsider my life, but beyond that, I can appreciate the current Hunter decks.

Remember Gadgetzan? That was the worst meta for Paladin and Hunter. Midrange hunter was dead and that was the only deck available. KotF hunter wasn’t that bad but was better than journey or gadgetzan.
Dark days indeed.
I remember that time clearly, first time I broke through rank 10 with, what was that class again? oh right, hunter!
I do agree, though, that mech hunter needs nerfs.
It’s a ridiculously straight-forward deck that relies on broken synergies and nutty mulligans, which sadly happen all too often due to Galvanizer.

Hunter spent expansion after expansion having just one viable deck. Midrange face hunter with the same basic beast package. They went multiple sets being punished heavily just for having Highmane. It was the budget f2p class, you always got told to just go face hunter.
Yes please!
It’s been overpowered for several expansions, winning against it has felt more like a chore than a game.
But I would add that Hunter being bad wouldn’t seem like it would make it less popular. The whole playstyle needs to be discouraged with some spells that can blowback against them.
yeah doing the daily today
