Playing against priest is too annoying

I’m glad you like it

Sure priest is annoying but druid/warrior/DK are far more obnoxious now. It’s interesting seeing Incindius in some versions of warrior now along with Zola to milk more value out of Brann.

You’re seeing less aggro but you’re seeing more of this stuff and BSM. Pick your poison.

I ignored him a long time ago. So I don’t know why he can still comment on my stuff tbh, they need an outright block button

Priest used to be more legitimately obnoxious back in the day when it was the king of greed. It lost that crown to warrior and druid years ago though. The semi-successful or successful decks it does have now take a lot of know-how to play well and some good fortune to win with. I still mess around with it occasionally, but modern Priest is nothing like old Priest. It can’t readily win the control game anymore or even compete against the likes of Warrior, Druid, or even Mage. It certainly can’t handle multiple turns of Tsunamis thrown at its face in a row.

Oh, dw, I put him on ignore every once in a while until I recover xDD

But the forum is much less active and much more stupid without his posts, so that doesn’t take long usually

Yeah. It also doesn’t have anything like plagues that put a clock on games or TNT that can just outright end games (unless you use your opponents lol)

Disagree. I say fun is always important. Not always the most important, but usually pretty important. And I argue it gets more important as you get older, since your time on this party call your mortal life is running out.

It’s just that as you get older, you should be more careful in what kind of fun you have, and how you have fun.

Think how kids aren’t legally allowed to drink or drive or do a lot of stuff, but adults are. Adults can have fun too, but adults are expected to have fun in a responsible manner. This has particular relevance to a game like HS with microtranscations. Responsible people would control their spending and understand what they’re spending on.

Under that light, if you are seriously triggered by priests or any class, ok yeah you are taking this game way too seriously. But I give people who say that the benefit of the doubt that they’re just exaggerating as many people like to do on the Internet. Sometimes I play along and troll. That too is a way to have fun :slight_smile:

The old days before all of the mana cheats, otks and deck destruction. When shadow madness, cabal shadow priest, mc tech, sylvanas and mind control along with the incredible mind blowing value of thoughtsteal were enough to bring opponents to their knees.

It’s not necessarily bad to take the game seriously. It’s kinda superficial to hate a class outside joking about it.

The best take I heard about them was that it’s a product of being hard to make a healing class be single player.

Don’t be mad, I tried playing priest tonight. 8 games. Always one part of what I needed to win buried at the bottom. In fact, every deck had unbelievable bad luck. I’ve not actually had that much partiality against me in my drawing luck, ever. like 2 out of 15 games across various classes where I didn’t get the worst possible draw, not good draw, just not the worst.

Bro acting like Priest draw matters :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The only thing that matters when you’re playing Priest is what cards your opponent has in their deck and hand.

Facts, then somehow they get like 5 copies of all your good cards

When we badmouth Priest about its stealing powers, Rogue is in the corner laughing that they escaped the same fate.

The two classes compete on playing other people’s cards albeit Rogue is shifted slightly on the Discovering side.

Rogue is balanced (vs priest) by the lack of board clears they have in their own class. That 8 mana kill 2 minion card is as slow as molasses. Their ability to discover answers is pretty irritating though, as is the ability to abuse battlecries.

Have you tried playing any deck decently? I mean priest isn’t even in T3 meta. It’s low T4.

Come to think of it about Rogue, it should be the stealing class. It’s the Lore.

Blizzard backed away from actual steal effects some time ago, though Rogue probably did get the best steal card in Captain Hooktusk. Which again, could be abused with Shadowsteps. Would probably be far too slow to be useful in the modern game though.

it never was the mind controlling class

Rogue stealing usually doesn’t end up taking opponent cards/resources, though one exception I can think of is Hooktusk in wild who took forever (8 pirates) to setup, then she gets 3 choices of stealing stuff from opponent.

“Mind control” is more priest if by that you mean taking control of the opponent’s stuff, with the classic card literally doing that to a minion, and shadow madness can do it to a minion temporarily under specific conditions.

Do note that even back in classic there are neutral ways to steal opponent minions in sylvanas and mind control tech. And right now everybody can run yogg or one of the griftah trinkets or even kologarn (all can be discovered from marin treasure, who is another nutty neutral)

And DK has pit boss. Stealing minions isn’t exclusive to priests, but that’s not to say priests don’t have an extra option or two in that department, just like how there are technically neutral divine shield stuff but pallies are the class associated with shields.

Anyways, rogue stealing usually gives them cards unrelated to the opponent’s deck (mixtape being an exception), whereas a lot of priest stealing does relate to the opponent’s deck. The former has chance to highroll into some absurd cross class combos, while the latter is more consistent and gives the priest information about the opponent.

Nothing about the above says anything about which is more viable in the meta.
