He said worst, which is a subjective quality.
And it’s his opinion, which is surely valued around here but just because something is played at legend primarily doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be seen in lower ranks.

I take opinions with the prescribed amount of salt. 
That’s why I like to tell myself I’m in the most competitive rank there is (Diamond 5)! 
Then you must be thirsty as hell all the time.
I crafted shadow priest, but regretted, so dont if you have not. I think the deck is quite “flimsy”. No come back ability once your minions are dead, and very reliant on the right draws (eg getting cannons but no pirates, weapon but no spells to activate it etc).
It’s a highroll deck, and all too often, I win emptying my hand and making just sufficient damage to take him down to zero, in a razor thin match, which is too close for comfort.

Bronze is not a real rank dude, you literally cannot lose stars. Which means nobody can ever be ‘‘stuck’’ in bronze.
Name me one player who’s incapable of climbing past bronze. It’s literally a free rank.
Also you’re wrong, those who ‘‘farm’’ newer players are playing at silver 10. And they aren’t as common as people think.

Your explanation doesn’t follow through on the concept that the rank itself exists.
You may not consider it a real rank but newer players start in that rank. Just because they can’t lose stars doesn’t change the validity of your argument which is that the best decks are only played in higher ranks. That’s not true. I started in Bronze before I hit silver like I do every ranked ladder. I’ve played against multiple tier one decks moving into silver.
Shadowpriest just wasn’t one of them.
You have an ego about rank, which is fine. You’re a high legend player, it takes skill. But your ego isn’t really proving your statement as correct.
Everyone starts at bronze on reset.
Technically, it might not be the ‘‘lowest rank in the game’’ but there is essentially no difference between bronze and silver. Because you cannot lose stars in bronze, even the worst imaginable players will eventually get to silver and be stuck there. Which is why there is no difference in level between silver and bronze. And that’s what it means when I call it the worst rank in the game. Maybe I should’ve said the worst rank in the game when it comes to player skills.
In any case I’ll rephrase that just for you: silver rank is the home of the weakest players in the game. There. Happy ?

Again, this is all opinion over fact.
And a confusing qualitative one, in general.
You would have to change the entire argument AND your opinion on it.
It’d be more like: - (And I’m paraphrasing here because I just can’t capture the essence of your holier-than-thou attitude) - “You wouldn’t likely see Shadowpriest in the lowest ranks because it’s primarily being played at legend, though as you ascended to higher rank plateaus, you’d have a higher chance of seeing one. - (Here, I’ll even add a sweet little addendum for you.) Though, you would have to be able to GET to a higher rank, you silver weakling.”
Every time I talk to you, I’m beaming with sunshine, babe.

What are you talking about dude ? This isn’t my opinion, it’s a fact.
Do you not understand that every silver 10 player reset each month to bronze with 2 stars bonus ? Those guys playing in bronze are either silver players who didn’t get a high star bonus or veterans who haven’t played in years.
I’m not sure how you can come up with the conclusion that silver is superior to bronze in terms of skills when all the guys in bronze are literally silver players.
UNLESS the guy is a brand new player, which he would be in the apprenticeship ranks and eventually reach silver because you cannot lose stars.
I’ll admit that I’m wrong if you can find me real players who’ve literally never been able to climb past bronze rank. I’m dying to find out who’s incapable of winning 15 Hearthstone games in the span of a month over and over again.

You must have a reading comprehension problem.
This really wasn’t about the quality of the player in the ranks. This was about why there isn’t that many shadow priests being seen in lower ranks - WHEN it’s entirely possible to see higher tiered decks in ANY rank, regardless of player quality.
Wheeew, your name is exactly as advertised and you’re just as annoying as one. I’ll enjoy my ban for that quip.
Well, I thought I was clear from my earlier post.
There isn’t many players in SILVER playing the strongest meta decks because those who do play those decks aren’t actually stuck in… silver! Shocking, isn’t it ?
Most silver players are playing budget & non-optimal lists. Sure, some of them play optimized meta decks but they aren’t common. And if they do, they’re generally very bad at the game since a true optimized meta deck should have no problem getting through those ranks.
Shadow priest for instance is one of the strongest aggro deck, most people who were playing it at silver naturally climbed to gold and maybe even higher unless they are playing like an ape.
No, it wasn’t clear. You just made a strong egotistical opinion as you’re prone to do and then you skirt the fringe on trying to correct yourself at any measure.
Aaaaaanyways, I can just get the same rhetoric from all the other toxic avengers here, my dude. I’ll take my chances with the fluffier side of these forums.
Have a good one, chief.
Myself I play Facehunter only because I’m relative new and that’s all I could afford crafting.
I was thinking about crafting a shadow priest because I’ve lost against them a lot and liked the mechanic, glad to read your comment.
Well, if we define shadow priest not only from the “shadow form”, priest actually gone shadow from the start.
Old control in classic uses auchenai. undoubtly a shadow priest.
There is also other shadow priest. Heck, Historically many
notorious priest deck list have shadow stuff in it. Since they brings the staple stuff such as Shadow Word spells. Not many power word spells are staple. Just PW:Shield, compared the two trusty Shadow Words: Pain and Shadow Word: Death.
Many Shadow words released also becoming useful, such as Hysteria, Mass Hysteria, SW: Horror, SW: Ruin, and the best spell of them all the Shadow Vision.
Big priest isnt really a light and shiny stuff. Stuff they brought back from grave is, dark stuff.
Razakus is a combo deck. shadow reaper is the best form of shadow priest. Reaps lifes and tears in the game, and reaps tears and salts in the forum.
Not many Holy Spell from priest are used compared to their Shadow spell.
The ones Holy priest have ever see is DS/IF priest. A combo which on of it is a Holy spell from priest.
Oh yeah, Obelisk priest is the most Holy style priest for me. Buffing minions to the infinity. Their removal spell mainly Holy Spell.
The most non-shadow priest I have saw is Dragon priest. Wait, no. Dragon priest till deploy many Shadow words.
Satellite Priest, which brings Patches and Corridor Creeper. its a minion focused deck. Only one shadow spell in it.
I see. Your collection will grow. What legendaries did you get from the latest expac? Maybe I can give some suggestions, although I’m not well versed in standard.
Oh btw, my comments are meant for wild, so don’t be too discouraged if you are playing standard.
Shadow priest will undergo a change anyway after today due to ilucia update, so just wait and see.
I see plenty of them in Diamond.
They’re tough, no nonsense players. You pray Illucia is at the bottom. Because the right Illucia has no counter or way to prepare for it.
