honestly its become such a toxic deck thats unbelievably unfun to play against, whether its brann warrior, odyn warrior, hamm warrior, whatever, all of it is boring, barely interactive, and makes me want to stop playing
im all for control decks being playable, but when the deck is basically just taking wincons out of your deck with no reasonable counterplay, i cant help but wonder what the devs were cooking
its just a horrible feeling and a miserable play pattern, rework boomboss, nerf brann again, rework hamm, whatever
i dont think balance even matters for control warrior, I mean statistically its not even that good rn, its just such a terrible deck to play against, and i pretty much always end up closing the game after playing against it
i would rather play against paladin aggro and have the game over in 5 minutes than to sit through a 25+ minute slog of a game
I do agree that playing against any warrior is mind numbing. My issue with them is the insane amount of aoe removal they have.
You honestly just can’t build a board consistently enough to even last one turn. Thankfully this expansion and last didnt bring any aoe to warrior, so rotation should help a tad with control warriors toxic play pattern.
but the deck is pretty reasonably balanced and falls apart against faster deck, the issue is it just isnt fun to play against
fr, you can build a board turn after turn and they will have a way to deal with it without fail
(I mean seriously, 3 brawls in a “highlander” deck is absurd lol)
It’s not going to be addressed because it’s not an issue.
It’s a bottom feeder deck. It’s complete trash in this meta.
Does it suck to play against if you are a much slower deck? Sure. But that’s like all the deck beats. And that’s why it won’t get addressed. It’s not a power outlier in any way.
It’s just a deck that beats up really slow decks and really bad custom made decks.
yeah i know, I mean i did say i know it isn’t strong in the meta anything like that, it’s just incredibly toxic and frustrating and I don’t like to see that kind of card design be done over and over, because it’ll only get worse i fear
Never leave the house the world is full of scary stuff and things you dont like…
By all means vent your frustration just dont expect the meta to bend to your likes/dislikes.
I think the root issue regarding this thread, is you phrased the title as a question that implies balancing concerns but in reality it’s just a vent thread. It’s fine to vent, but I don’t think people would necessarily go so extra against your salt if they were EXPECTING salt going into it.
So then you get people being like “this deck sucks bro, y nurf” and that just tilts you because your POV is “I don’t care, it’s not fun to see” etc.
There are several decks that do this now. Rogue, Priest, and I guess, Warrior too.
I don’t like them myself.
What exactly are we learning? That thievery is superior to winning on your own merit?
The HATE for control warrior is astounding. Odyn is a very well designed card that allows a control deck to work toward a REAL win condition and not just drag the game out to fatigue for 20 more turns. Players have already said that they despise 90 minute games of HS and i cannot disagree with them. I love a good control deck but i hate games that go to fatigue. Give the deck a REAL win condition. Lets also keep in mind control warrior is barely a blip on the radar of this meta outside of some fringe play at high legend.
The really sad part is the contempt for Boomboss. The card is dead weight against Aggro, Combo/OTK and even Tempo. That’s why it has no play in the current meta. It has one purpose and one purpose alone. It’s the ultimate trump card to a control match mirror. Control mirrors dragging on is just bad and will drive new players away not draw them in.
