Ok, so I collected the data only from yesterday (April 5th), and only from streamers who are connected to d0nkey top.
Source: https://www.hsguru.com/streamer-decks?class=SHAMAN
I filtered by class (Shaman) and manually counted the wins and losses pertaining to Spell damage shaman only, disregarding Highlander shaman.
The stats show a total score of 117 W - 96 losses, which equal 54,93% winrate.
As I said, free ticked to top 20.
So yeah, it’s not JUST an emotional outlier. It’s a broken deck when piloted by top class abusers.
This sample has some limitations. It’s “possible” that they all just highrolled (yeah, right xD) and the sample is too low (it’s one day of stats, so yeah, it’s perfectly enough).
But to anyone reasonable, this is proof enough.
EDIT: For comparison, I did the same for Shopper DH.
Shopper DH went 200-165, which equals 54,79% win rate.
This is what we call “benchmarking”, comparing stats to the industry leader, or in this case, the most broken deck which is getting nerfed.
So what we have is, on one side, the most broken deck at the moment, Shopper DH, with 54,79% win rate, and on the other we have OTK (T stands for toxic) Shaman with 54,93% win rate.
No further discussion is needed. Shaman is more broken than DH. It’s toxic gameplay.
Delete it.
