Ah yes, the 1.6k dust deck class that had deck of lunacy and 50% play rates followed by quest mage a immediate expansion after, the deck that suffers as a poor tier 3 class that had to adamantly insist it wasn’t tier 2, despite being listed as tier 2. Because it would randomly shoot between 51% to 49.94% winrate with only the poor liberty of nearly always countering 2 of the top decks while 5-10k priest and raza decks could go 60% to 10% in a questlock fire overnight and nobody would care.
Yes, nobody can understand your pain of being a class not meta for five minutes, your suffering is far beyond anyone can understand. Anyone who doesn’t main a 10k dust meta to 10% winrate class vs a 49.94% suffering 1.6k dust tier 3 doesn’t know you’re pain…
Despite being half the playrate of barrens, having tremendous day 1 cheap decks that did actually get to dominate both day 1s pretty cheaply, and also had Sayge, Darkmoon printed when secret mage had already been a zombie deck that was Tier 1 for general aggro climbing in wild for like what… 2-4 years?
You’re right, nobody else can suffer the emotions of a tier 3 deck having 60% deck winrates for quest mage lists on hsreplay vs 44% garrote rogue winrates.
Clearly, t3 quest mage players are skilled to win, because it is lower tier, while garrote players are less skilled, since they lose more with higher tier decks. All that matters for the general diamond joe trying to play his pack is the top 1k player rate, data for his own rank is of the devil and should be ignored.
49.94% winrate for mage is a sin against god, but 36% winrate for mage or 42% past winrate metas for warriors when it didn’t even have a single viable deck. Eh, who cares, not blue enough. Classes having a low winrate 0.06% below 50% is only a problem if it’s slightly below 50% for mage. Every other class can’t comprehend the suffering. For they aren’t mage. Woe is the good for 3 years class. nobody can understand their pain of not being VS tier 1 in something for 5 minutes.
[Edit: Also speak of the devil, also about the time when Priest was one of the weakest classes in the game in both standard, wild, and arena during WOTOG, and was printed a 2 mana: Silence your own minion card as a common, while mage got firelands portal and was top tier in Arena and also lots of WoTOG tournament play with yogg, and got Firelands portal while unicorn priest got purify. XD. Good times.
Oh, and during the crystal core era, the other deck everyone hated, apparently Freeze mage and Secret mage were both the 1k legend tier 1s ( https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/vs-data-reaper-report-55/ )while 5/5 Quest rogue, was nerfed to acclaim for being a meta warper with apparently 48% 1k legend winrate, despite lopsided matches killing entire archetypes back then. Hmm. Just saying, in terms of class history, Food for thought. XD )
