hi i just tested the expansion and i get OTK by mage , hunter warlock and DH , so what is happening i can’t play fun decks and , and opponents are playing like 10 cards in a turn so i only watch during 30 seconds doing nothing ???
i don’t understand why all these OTK are present is it a dev wanted thing ?
they don’t care about the board and suddenly put you 30 dmg in the face so the game is not designed about fighting for board but having mass spellpower and OTK your opponent ?
please nerf these OTK decks the non interaction weight is heavy , ty .

for those playing otk decks, the otk decks are the fun decks. so are you suggesting that other peoples fun decks should be nerfed because you want to play your fun deck?

Nerfing for another’s idea of fun is generally not a good idea but there are times when it’s been done (Guardian Animals, Tiller).
Nerfing if an entire archetype takes over the meta is always a good idea. I don’t actually know the overall stats but if the OTK decks are on the top of the heap while control and/or aggro are non-existent then a nerf is definitely in order.
I personally love OTK decks but the current ones are just too easy for my tastes.

right, so the only decks that are allowed to be fun are the ones you think is fun? im not allowed ot enjoy playing quest warlock for example?
but when majority of decks are OTK or kinda things like this other style of decks suffers and are not be able to pull wins because the top meta is OTK decks .
tempo decks are performing fairly well, both rouge, paladin, and hunter see plenty of play at high ranks. the only decks that really struggle is slow greedy control decks, and the way those are usually built they struggle regardless of what the current meta is
I’ve been a wild player playing combo, aggro, control and midrange decks for years. (Worgen OTK, Raza combos), and even played around homebrewing a couple in wild or in brawls of my own just to play with, from brann kingsbane coldlight otk mill combos, to charge otks and elaborate spawn of shadows ± recruiter and reno razakus otk combinations where inexperienced players often OTKED THEMSELVES when they tried to steal the deck XD haha.
What im after is gameplay, and a viable, but not broken winrate. It’s boring to win without effort, but it’s important for both sides to have fun while making a deck viable. or have lots of back and forth trades or option for play.
Say, a combo deck might be able to otk, but it still has interaction in beating it before it dies, and usually might suffer if you force it to dump a core piece to survive but turn the tempo route, or go all in and yolo for the best.
Combo meta usually don’t otk with common and routine cards that can be used anywhere this early. As a combo loving player of raza and otks, i prefer them to take at least around turn 8-10+ without mana cheating or discounts, or require insane amounts of rng at like, about 45-60% winrates on hsreplay.
Right now there are wild decks reaching like otks that kill you regardless of clear and in standard, and i think this meta is a bad meta for the other player, since while i can sympasize to one person having fun, the other person with all their old decks is suddenly in a position where nothing they do to clear a board or heal matters, since the deck with otk you out of thin air anyways after a clear and has too many moving parts to be disrupted or countered by a control deck, only a boring (to me, after 2-5+ years of playing them. ) routine faster aggro deck.

People wanted less interactive and faster decks. They also wanted priest to be unplayable. They got their wish fulfilled.

Well we weren’t expecting this MUCH, I mean, it’s okay to ask for a little cheese on your toast but not expect to face have to eat nothing but the entire WHEEL of nonstop hyper aggro combo A bit and wonder if you just lose on the turn 1 with none of your choices mattering when a empty t6 board otks you.
All things in Moderation is key right?

TILLER WASNT EVEN NERFEDXD
Hysteria was…
Im not hating just pointing it out.
I didn’t say tiller was nerfed. The OTK was nerfed.
Than why not just list hysteria saying tiller was nerfed is like saying Samuro got nerfed while Apo was…
Wich is funny in both cases cuz both card is netural minion and a class card got nerfed because of them…
you cant??
that reeeeeally weird
im having fun playing questline priest deck menagerie and a corrupt one
i dont get it
what is stoping you from playing your decks ???
I’m not at gold anymore and for better or worse if your last meta month deck did really well and then gets murdered you’re left stranded with lots of meta netdecks and out of dust betting on a turn 10 exodia that gets murdered by faster t6 empty board otks + board aggro exodias. T_Ts
thanks for letting us know u got legend we all really needed to know that clap clap clap
I agree with OP. I’m sick of this trash.
