No, I’ve been around since forever.
Someone recently, upon a suggestion of mine, went to document all metas that had data over many years and calculate how relevant each class was and how often.
Paladin was no where near the bottom, but instead ranked closer to the top. Let’s not try to act like Paladin hasn’t been a hard hitting contender for quite some time now. A few metas here and there where it’s not doing well pales in comparison to what other classes have experienced. Paladin has had a great ride in the meta when compared to other classes.
And boy does this FACT, based on actual statistical evidence, infuriate people. Sometimes, the truth hurts.
| Class | Top Decks | Tier 1 Decks | Tier 2 Decks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Druid | 13 | 62 | 140 |
| Hunter | 20 | 107 | 107 |
| Mage | 0 | 27 | 100 |
| Paladin | 44 | 142 | 45 |
| Priest | 2 | 28 | 94 |
| Rogue | 15 | 56 | 90 |
| Shaman | 37 | 85 | 90 |
| Warlock | 4 | 58 | 109 |
| Warrior | 18 | 91 | 132 |
