Hey Bliźzard.
Demon hunter has been aids since release. With the latest expansion you added the ability to deal 72 damage from hand to a class that also draws 18 million cards, have boardclears that cost nothing and also heals alot. How nice and interacrive. Whats the counterplay?

Same counterplay as any other OTK deck: kill them before they get all their pieces, or force them to use their combo parts to stay alive.
Nice idea sherlock. Problem is they draw more than you, heal more than you and clear any board for 2 mana while also dunking your face at the same time. So unless you kill them before turn 6 somehow its over. Then skull happens and after that youre dead.
you are lying DH doesnt have that much card generation
No. Youre right. They dont have generation. They just draw their combo before you even drawn half your deck.
atleast stay consistent with what deck you are describing. you start of by complaining about otk dh, you then use pre-nerf soul dh as example for why making boards dont work. then you use what i assume is aggro dh to describe how skull is immediately game ending

You’re complaining about a tier 4 deck with a 46% average winrate at Diamond-Legend. This is a deck that gets absolutely rolled over by Paladin, Warrior, Hunter, and Rogue. Even Druids beat it handily. It literally only wins games against Priests and slower Warlock decks, precisely the decks least able to pressure them.
DH just got nerfed massively. Its win rate has plummeted since the nerf. At this point its more of a get good issue or bad draw.
Lol good one. “Nerfed massively” is a huge overstatement. The nerfs don’t address the core issues of this “class”.
On top of that now we get to hear toxic Xmas themed DH greeting every time we play against one. So much fun.

They were nerfed enough to take them out of T1. Both Soul and Aggro dh are now solid T2 decks, and the classes winrate has fallen to below 50%
LOL It’s definitely not T2, DH is still OP, people just stopped playing it after nerfs because they think DH is busted. Which is not true.
This much is true.
“Happy Winterveil!”
“Happy Winterveil Champion!”
“There are no holidays for betrayers.”
“Happy W- … Illidan, is everything okay at home?”

People not playing Demon Hunter as much doesn’t affect winrate.
And yes, on HSReplay, since the balance patch, Aggro DH has a 53% winrate, and Soul DH has 52%. That is Tier 2
Skullcan be game ending because in otk dh you may be dead turn 7 because cost reduction.
Otk DH isn’t a problem.
I’ve died to the combo just once… When I didn’t draw a custodian or weapon before turn 12!! And just bad draw in general that game
Mostly, they are using their combo pieces to clear the threats, yes they gain life but keep applying pressure and the otk isn’t viable
sure, it only require that all cards you draw and discount of skull are the expensive combo pieces. otherwise you wont have enough mana at 7 mana
