Overpowered warrior is frustrating, but not as much as

… an idiot(s) from hs dev team that stated that warrior is fine, no need for nerfs/removals before the expansion released. 5 years of experience developing this game, still no clue how to balance. The only balance for Blizz is account balance.

And even more frustrating then that are the whiny poss of people who do not even bother to check their facts before posting.

Based on last week’s data, Control Warrior is 5th and Bomb Warrior is 8th in the list of good archetypes, with win rates of 53.09% and 51.60%.
The current two best deck archetypes (Secret Hunter and Mech Hunter) both do very well against both these Warrior types; the number 3 (Token Druid) also has a high win rate against Bomb Warrior but is weak to Control Warrior.

Yes, Warrior (especially Bomb Warrior) was very popular for a while after Rise of Shadows released. Based on 5 years of experience, Blizzard decided not to step in and nerf stuff immediately. No, they decided to wait and see how the meta would evolve, what counters the player base would come up with.

Based on the links above, I’d say that they have been proven right.

Umm given that 80-90% of ALL games i play this meta are v. warrior id have to say not only is warrior still ‘very popular’ but either far more popular than any other class …or of course Blizzs game matching algorithm is fubar.

So, what you’re saying is: Only Secret Hunter and Mech Hunter do well against warrior. Yeah, you just proved his point. Oh, and uh, that’s why so many people are playing warrior and hunter right now. L O L

Actually he said warrior decks were 5th and 8th.

Then listed 2 decks.

So there are 2 more decks that perform better than warrior as well as secret and mech hunter.

And 2 more that perform better than thr 8th place as well.

Thats not bad, and i hate warrior just as much as all of you. I want the deck gone. Not for balance…for quality of life. Its a mildly selfish want, but i don’t care.

I also own all the above honestly. Rather than mix up data and build strawman arguements.

If I was you, I would play as Mech Hunter then. YOU have to adapt to the meta, not the other way around.

I mean, it only makes sense. If I am winning…let me check my win rate, Mech Hunter versus Warrior… 89%(that is not an exaggeration by the way, reading it straight off my deck tracker) against Warrior decks, then if I was facing 80-90% warriors, I would be sitting on a pile of gold.

I would definitely switch…if you are telling the truth.

Which you aren’t. You are not telling the truth at all. You are lying, big time. The game’s match making algorithm would NEVER allow that to happen. Not ever.

Over the course of 200 runs your stats look for like 9% or 10% for each class, with one or two of them busting out at around 11% or 12%.

That is how it is. You don’t even have an argument. I am telling you that is how it is and you just have to accept it, because you don’t have a choice.

You had two full months to try to understand my message, and yet you manage to totally misinterpret it?

No, Blizard has to “adapt” the meta to be fking playable! How one card (dr boom) can single-handed destroy any other control deck? How can you have so much value in ONE CARD and call someone to “adapt” to it. I can deal with almost all meta decks even with meme stuff, but as soon as i see dr boom and im on anything other than retarded agro (thats what hunter is) my chances are near rat a$$.

I guess nering sucub tatas is more important than actual gameplay.

Stop to cry, the only nerf needed is just tokken-druid. Not mech-warrior. Not mech-hunter.

Mech Hunter and my special brew of Shaman have win rates against warrior of over 70%. With the Mech Hunter actually blowing Warrior out of the water at nearly 90%.

If you don’t want to get beat by Warrior you need to play a different deck.

I mean, it really is just that simple.

Look, you can’t win every match. There is a counter for everything. You play one class that wins consistently against another class and the class you are playing gets beat consistently by another class.

And that is what playing the meta is all about. It is about trying to determine which class is the one being most played and then playing its counter against them.

That isn’t on Blizzard, that is on you .

This sounds like a you problem. Boom is strong, it’s not broken. And “destroy any other control oriented deck”? Lmao, Control Warrior is unfavored slightly against Heal Druid and only barely favored (literally 2%) against Control Shaman.

If it bothers you that much play Mecha’Thun warrior and beat Boom 84% of the time assuming equal skill (though I suspect your opponents are better than you)

Absolutely agree. Ive played this game long enough to realize there is NOTHING you can do about warriors cheapness. Even if they are on their LAST THREAD they can get out of trouble with a 50/50 brawl. The fact that they decide to not nerf what needs to be nerfed and slightly buff other cards tells me this company doesn’t pay attention and is just cash grabbing. This will happen EVERY YEAR as long you people BUY INTO IT!!! 1111

Just to throw it out there, saying dr boom can single handedly destroy any other control deck is laughable.

Forget the two hunter decks already mentioned, mage decks just own the warrior lineup hard. Unless the perfect draw happens mage wins that with almost no effort.
