There is a reason thats all anyone plays / a major people wuth standard in general right now

I dont blame them either. I just personaly find mirror matches were who ever draws the better or right card first not a fun game experance.

The majority is standard decks wins are determined on who has better draw and not skill anymore.

Unfair and greaving style of game play

Blood dk has is the single most unfair deck for someone to face in standard i have seen in a long time or pherhaphs ever. On top of that its basicly a make your oponent want to slit his throat type of game play.

Whats the point in playing when your oponent actualy as the solution for everything all they have to do is draw?

No skill required other than basic hearthstone knowledge

There is no strategy on the deck other than hoping you dont run out of board whipes, healing or minion removal b4 your oponent is out of there minions / recources.

Who wants to play against that?

There is legit no skill.

It takes nothing beyond hoping to discover or draw another board whipe or heal.

You say no win-con?

Ok whats there win con? Making there oponent want to off themselves or quit is the biggest one.

But recently iv seen multiple win cons.

They discover buffs for there minions. That are immune to anything but board whipes.

You card out and die from no cards.

They burn all your rescources and kill you with minion dmg slowly.

It seems like.

Every match your oponent is blood dk.

At least in ashes you knew it was demon hunter and there were clear counters. With strat deckbuilding skills and just skill you could beat them. It was a lot of fun cause of how strong they were.

Blood DK in Nutshell

I have every type of sustain the game has to offer.
I break the hp cap and heal at the same time for unheard of amounts.

I destroy every minion you put on the board or heal off them.

I slowly eat away at your hero and your irl soul. Then I make you suffer and never wana play hearthstone again or rage quit.

Its not fun for me to play. Its also just all mirror matches anyways

For me blood dk is not fun unless your legit trashing another class that is not dk. Even then the deck just plays itself and you realy dont have much interaction at all when playing blood dk. Its borring at best for me to play it.

You just sit back and discover more removal or heals. There is no stratagy none.

If yall are having fun playing blood dk vs blood dk mirror matches all day good for you.

This is not a fun gaming experence for me in standard at all.

Im good. I’m off the play the only balanced mode left in the game wild.

Well wild has got issues too but, its a far better than the mess we call standard right now.

Its either paladin or blood dk.

Paladin is ok but i much prefered the librum style. Much more interative game play and actual strategy. Paladin is also another solitare play style right now.

Its holding back others decks and archtypes for existing

I have decks in mind for standard but none of them can work as long as blood dk is in the state it is right now.

I can work around paladin. Its not as toxic as blood dk.

Priest is a lot diffrent than blood dk trying to copy your oponents cards is interative and fun.

Blood dk is not interactive at all like priest is. Its just solitare.

Top offending/over-powered cards or reasons its OP

The chief offenders right now are

Blood Boil

Vamperic Blood

And the sheer amount of aditional discovery blood dk has.

This tbh

In closing

The problem over all here is, Dk has all the stuff that all the other classes has had nerfed over the years. Somehow its ok for them to have these things and interactions but not other classes. Seems like a double standard or team 5 just ran out of ideas.

I can beat blood dks all day but its just not fun. The matches last forever and when i win i feel like part of my soul was stolen from me in the process.

Really Hope Diablo 4 does not turn into the pile of crap Hearthstone is right now. This is awful.

Wow didn’t really read all that…

But they need to revert the buffs given to DKs.

Their blood spells caused damage back to them based on minion health. This was inline with their other massive healing similar to their class in WOW. Some dev comes along and decided to buff them being the new class and all…

I’ve been saying Blood has been broken since the buffs and was fine even before that. Apparently I’m crazy so Blood DK must be underpowered…

Aparentlly you cant read jack… but yea aparently on of the devs om twitter said big nerfs otw already. The recent patch was a bandaid.

Druid gonna get twig nerfed as well.

Blood was kept in check by all of the late game combos/bombs going off pre rotation, mainly thanks to Brann. Now most of that is gone, Blood is free to grind everyone into dust, especially if they get Alex off.

I prefer playing control and that’s the only control deck out here besides control priest that’s worth a damn and control priest is boring as hell

There needs to be more than two control decks and a whole bunch of aggro decks and no combo decks to choose from for it to be a balanced meta. You would think that Team 5’s own play testing would have warned them that this was going to happen

But yeah, a strategy game where player agency just doesn’t matter isn’t much of a strategy game. Imagine a chess match where every once in awhile you get to roll a d20 to decide who the winner is and that’s where we’re at right now

Just glad I stuck to my guns and didn’t pay for any of this

Well done, this is a well constructed topic and it looks like you really put a lot of effort into it. And, yeah, DK is a problem that is overshadowing the expansion.

I’m Rock. There should be more Scissors in play and Paper should be removed from the game.

Boom, balanced baby!

Except it’s rock, other rock, scissors, scissors, scissors, scissors, scissors, scissors, and paper doesn’t exist in the current meta and scissors can still beat rock anyway and other rock trumps the first rock 100% of the time

But once again on these forums, a player or players points out a flaw in the design and someone else comes out of the woodwork to assert that the players are the problem. I mean it has to be that. What else could it possibly be?

Big Principal Skinner vibes here

You can’t even last versus blood death Knight as thief priest after a 20-minute game just now the death knight was still sitting at 45 health…

I’m dieing to aggro with blood DK a lot. How come people say it’s overpowered? It’s only good if you can outlive the onslaught.

Seriously, every time there is a deck on top, people start complaining it’s OP.

Seems like deck building issue. Or you just do not play it well.

Against what aggro decks you seem to struggle?

When I was playing blood DK (unable to play this deck for more than 5 games a day because it makes me sick playing it) only time I had problem against any aggro was when they got insane early draw and my deck was shuffled horribly with no discover.
But usually its pretty easy matchup - after I play like 4th or 5th blood boil they usually concede.

I had a blood DK literally on the ropes with skeleton mage!! then he healed for 20!! like what the actual f!!

This is almost a Reno except without the restriction of being highlander and its better than a heal because its a gain effect meaning max hp goes from 35 to 55

I have seen some of the most greedy donkey blood dks, etc, snapshot, Morgrain + astalore + denathrius all in the same greedy deck, but this new patch it feels like they have even more board presence and healing which makes it even harder to play against than it already was
