Tired ever deck conceivable just can’t beat them. Just lost again to 7 in a row. Ok to say never is a lie. But my win rate vs hunter as a priest is 79%. My win rate vs priest is 11% on hunter.
Turns out a control class with good healing is good at dealing with a class that relies on smashing face to win. Who knew?

you’re playing hunter wrong then. hunters should have plenty enough burst and curve to out damage a priest’s healing. the match up is more 50/50 then anything. since any aggro comp has a pretty good chance to straight up put a priest in an unwinnable situation in 5 or 6 turns.

Nah I agree it’s somewhat impossible… and I hit legend so it’s not because I super suck that I always lose to priest if I’m playing something somewhat aggro and even most control decks… just hunter especially has very little chance against priest.
Sure priest should be in favor against hunter it makes sense but I don’t think it should be the auto concede match up in which they have turned it into!
Control warlock is best against priest 
I have been doing great against Priest with the list below.
- No secrets, Priest doesn’t care about them.
- Nagrand Slam to punch through following a Priest’s Plague of Death.
- Maiev to freeze annoying Taunt or buffed Priest minions and punch their face.

I thought that highlander hunter is good against gala priest.
It can be done
watch imgur.com/kcwxE1R
Highlander/Dragon Hunter are generally favored against Galakrond Priest, Face Hunter isn’t.
Had that deck literately
deleted it cause face hunter is better vs priest than that deck in my experience. Still horrible win rate less than 20%. My deck tracker says so.
Hunter is just really bad against priest. Same with Demon hunter. Warlocks Druids Rogue and shaman are excellent against priest. DH and hunter are just bad against them.
Most streamers I watched only do good if the priest is trash as well.
If you wana show me a video or replay of you fighting priest that would be appreciated
You have a very weird experience.
For VS HL Hunter, Dragon Hunter, and Aggro DH are all favored against Priest; with Face Hunter being unfavored.
I don’t have any videos. I don’t play with any deck tracker.

Oh no, you had to think about going face or face? There’s a reason no one respects hunter mains.

“I never win against any of my games against priest!”
“Here’s a hunter deck that wins against priest!”
“I tried the deck and instantly conceded and the game didn’t say i won, how am i supposed to beat priest!?!?”

It depends on the priest deck - vs. Galakrond/Murozond Hunter is clearly favored, but a slow-as-molasses Resurrect deck can grind Rexxar out. Either way you have to be agressiv - mulligan hard for 1 and 2 mana cards, keep Zephrys and pray you draw Bran.
Otherwise, chalk it up as a loss.

Funnie thing is thats the one I have the most trouble with. Funny thing is i try so hard to get help with my issue watching videos and everything. I watch how streamers play and play just like them. To be honest \I think all it takes to be a streamer is have insane lucky draw cause that seems to be the only difference between me and them imo.
I tried the above deck again just went 0-9 with it. Druids just trash that deck along with warlocks and warriors. Only thing it seems to work against is shamans and DH.
Im done with highlander hunter. I have way better win rates with other hunter decks. It seems week to me. Im not deyning this might be a get good issue.
I need help cause I cant seem to win at all with this deck past diamond 10
I’m even winning more games with priest than HL hunter.
Good thing I’m not a hunter main. I’m a rogue main. Thanks for your helpful advice troll.
where you getting that nonsense from.
No going on 0-15 Tbh I you guys should see the decks and busted opening hands i’m going against.
HL hunter will get you to diamond after that is trash imo.
Update
I’m literately now 0 and 18
You get destroyed by face hunters.
1 and 19 now I didnt get kill by turn 5-7 by nearly every class in the game so I won one.
According to statistics (*) the deck is good enough to reach legend. But that’s just a statistical figure, there’s that thing called skill ceiling.
If you can’t progress further than Platinum with it, you’ve reached the famous 50/50 ratio aka Equilibrium aka that’s it. To improve past it you need to become better with the deck and better in anticipating opponents tactics, learning to play around them. And tenacity. And self-reflection. And finally the insight to learn that - quoting an unnamed gun slinger from the Old West - "There's always someone who draws faster than you."
(*) HSReplay Premium shows data Platinum to Legend, too, while the free version just shows numbers Bronze thru Gold.)
May the Light guide you.
