Pirate warrior is not op

Do peoples’ complaints on this forum (or any forum) - misguided or not - actually… directly result in nerfs? I mean, if that were true, I’d probably quit for good. I’d like to believe their processes are 99% independent of peoples’ online complaints.

the only reason PW winrate is gone down is cause how good rogue is now

But also there is more libram paladin, which eat pirate warriors.

That’s not even close to being true.

If anything amalgam pirate warrior used to beat the old no gnoll poison rogues a bit hard, but post gnoll absorption, not sure how that’s at now.

That said, for bronze, it’s a terrible deck after diamond to legend, but it does terrorize the low ranks quite a bit and thief rogue feels like it’s a deck that only works best with a deck tracker. Tracking tradables for outs, lethals, and smite chains just isn’t that good for mobile friendliness.

You don’t want to set up a tradable when all 5 cards in your deck are tradables instead of knowing if you should set up a edwin smite chain or vice aversa, etc.

That said, it is a pretty good bronze terror. Like a baby with a gun, striking fear into the hearts of many who don’t know what to do with it.

Standard warrior is fine wild quest warrior now that is a different story.

No, Aerthis, not really. It’s still a very braindead predictable deck in Wild too. And again, if it has a problem, it’s exactly what Schyla said — it’s so easy to pilot it unironically makes one wonder if humans are the only mammals that can play Hearthstone.

I guess the one thing I’d give it is that it’s a tiny bit more powerful in Wild, but not by a crazy amount. It can be beaten.

I agree standard warrior is beatable i would never want standard warrior nerfed but i am curios how they would nerf it in wild.

You misunderstood me. It doesn’t need to be nerfed in Wild either.

I understand the deck is weaker the higher you go in ladder
i feel a slight tweak wil be healthy for the meta
i think nerfs are not always about powerlevel a deck can be bad and still be unfun to face thats my argument i dont like basing nerfs on experience but sometimes its ok do you agree?

Well, the biggest problem with Quest warrior is that it has killed all diversity for other Warrior decks. Quest Warrior killed control and rush warrior. A nerf would be healthy.

Look what happened when they nerfed CA. We now have many different viable druid decks because of it. I think a nerf to quest warrior would make the Warrior class much more diverse

And also, it’s as unfun to face Quest Warrior as it was to face Quest Mage

Nerf Quest Warrior will not bring other Warrior decks back.

The difference between druid and Warrior is:

Other druid decks were actually good but Just not as good as pre nerf celestial druid.
Other Warrior decks are junk.

Because you just say so, so we have to believe?

If your logic stands, Blizzard does not need to nerf Rogue. Blizzard just need to create another powerful meta deck that counter Rogue deck. Right?

And by the end of 2022, we will have turn 4 hyper aggro, turn 5 value combo wombo, and turn 6 OTK that will counter each other and everything will be perfectly balance… Right?

Seriously though, at Plat 5, I came across a quest warrior. I had him by the ropes. I had a full board while he only had 2 2/1 minions on board. He had a gorehowl on my turn.

And what do you know? On his next turn, he gets ANOTHER gorehowl along with a Mr. Smite. Now if that isn’t rigged, then I don’t know what is. I had about 20+ HP

Quest Warrior needs to get nerfed sooner rather than later. I don’t mind losing to a ramp druid or the current Rogue decks. But losing to a Quest warrior feels miserable

Losing to random bs has always been the problem of HS. But that seems to be the core design of the game. To me losing to Juggernaut, Yog, or Piloted Shredder leaves the same taste in my mouth. Today is Quest Warrior. Tomorrow is going to be something else.

No you not need to believe.

Just ask anyone else with understanding of the meta and everyone will say the same thing.

It’s not warrior that got weaker.

The general field that is too hostile and will grew even worse with PW nerfs.

Celestial druid was a niche pick even without nerfs. It’s more likely that nerfs to the OTKs oppened the field that nerf to alignment itself.
