Once again, this is off of me just losing to something so pardon that this is a bit of an emotional rant.
I won’t name drop the scum who I lost to because that’s against The Forum rules I’m pretty sure but I was playing rainbow death knight against Reno priest which does somehow exist and all my opponents deck strategy was, was to stall the game with healing and board control into I’m assuming Forge or oddly enough Elise. But he didn’t have any exciting death rattles or things to shuck out five fives for.
My winning condition for rainbow Death Knight is usually a tie between the 10 Mana spell, board control, and Headless Horseman with that board control. Tldr, priest played Madam lazuli when I had the 10 Mana spell to deal 20 damage and summon a board. So I had to deal with the receiving end of the same spell that I built up that he did not.
There was no fighting another rainbow Death Knight over spending Corpses, board control. No, it’s priests consistent annoying unappealing constant strategy with their Shadow build or mindset apparently to Blizzard to steal their opponent strategies and use them against them.
I’m sorry when’s the last time in World of Warcraft anybody used mind control effectively except in pvp? And why is it that priest is rogue? Did blizzard not think what they could do with Shadow priest and just succumbed to making one of their specs into a joke for your opponent?
I would put more belief into rogue, and how they are acting now with Cutlass and Tess, into the whole stealing my opponent strategy. Or cards for that matter.
I haven’t seen the reveals for the next expansion yet but good Lord am I just honestly sick of priest and their take yours and make it mine gimmick.
I’m sorry for ranting again on the forums. I just had to get it out. You all have a good day and if you’ve read this thank you for your time.
I have a much bigger problem with Thief Rogue using steal as a win condition.
Rogues should have abilities like poison (DOT)
kick, assassinate, ambush, stealth, etc.
Pick pocket is all they should have to steal, not a ton of cards that rip off your entire deck and use it more efficiently than you can. I wouldn’t even mind lockpick that activates a deathrattle for free or something.
By the same token, Priest should have mind control and thoughtsteal only, and still have the 4 cost handicap.
Team 5 has mangled the class so badly that it has no actual identity anymore.
And Reno lone ranger should not exist. It cannot be balanced.
Neither can the Devs, that’s why we haven’t shown up in any top lists since 2013. The moment we get close, that old racist dev steps in and nerfs us for his hatred of what he believes is the representation of western culture.
i played every class myself in wild
although i still haven’t hit 1000 wins with druid playing since the start since i have a distaste for cheese and combos and 20 mana and all that nonsense
haven’t hit 500 with death knight yet either slowly been doing that
Why do people keep thinking this is me complaining about playing the class?
Granted it was a lot of text, but this was more my complaints vs the class pulling from their opponent’s deck and having no other class identity for Shadow other than “Steal whats in deck” (or hand).
Last 2 Rainbow DKs I played I stole their CNE. Now, you’d think they would just give up and leave after that.
Nope.
These cocky Rainbow DK players just continue to play hoping to win by some lucky RNG gifted Reska because it probably happens so often for them.
They just continue to keep playing. They know they don’t have CNE anymore. They just keep dropping huge minions, shuffle in plagues with Helya without any regard to the fact that puppet threatre is right there and I’ll play Helya right back at them.
They have no care whatsoever and throw caution right out the window.
Is this because they are so used to winning with multiple ways that they don’t even care?
Either way, I present this question to you:
Which one below is worse?
A player who doesn’t have a win condition because they aren’t given one for their deck style and has to always go in search of one and then continues to play once they find one and aims for that as a win condition. Sort of like a person born into poverty and has to search for wealth.
OR
A player who has 3 win conditions to start, loses one, continues to play and aim for the other 2 win conditions and gets mad that they can’t achieve a single win condition from their starting 3, but continues to play for no reason whatsoever despite the fact they know they lost their main win condition? Sort of like a person born into wealth and gets mad when a poor person obtains their wealth equality.
And before you answer, know that I only presented these scenarios above as pure entertainment factor only and my analogies are pure trash because, after all, I too get salty when Rainbow DK players refuse to concede for whatever prideful reasons.
I don’t know, I played priest for a while just to piss people off because I know how frustrating it is to steal your opponent’s deck and use it against them. That being said I feel like while playing priest I usually lose or at best my winrate is 50%. When I play spell mage I always beat priest, I think I’ve lost once so far to a priest and that was just from me playing bad. The class kind of sucks honestly, all their Legendaries are pretty bad when you compare them to other classes.
Old school rainbow DK that built up corpses to play CNE hasn’t really been viable for about a month now. The ones that still play Rainbow do it because of Reska, Quartzite and Seamstress. They combo that with the excavate package to abuse Reska mid game. Currently it’s better to just play BBP because of all the cheap removal against flood decks and Druid. Games won’t last long enough to have CNE matter and in the ones it will Warrior will not care and trumps CNE anyway.
