Priest too powerful

Yes, Priests has powerful situational tools. The key word here being situational

They seemed to have a play every turn and I don’t mean general play. I mean an actual counter. One example was I had 3 minions on board and 2 of them with 1 hp left. They used Renew and chose Holy Ripple. They used 2 Breath of the Infinites in one turn before that and Holy Nova later on.

Funny how the Invoke/Gala hero power gifts them a minion to use almost in any situation to their advantage. I cleared off previous Infiltrators and they were gifted one from an invoke, putting me more behind.

To me, this isn’t situational in the sense it doesn’t happen all that often, it happens in their favour quite a lot.

It’s possible you are a particularly unlucky player. It’s also possible you’re experiencing survivorship bias: you don’t see the times Priests get bad cards via RNG because they don’t play those bad cards, or they lose the game before the bad generated cards come into play.

Or maybe Priest is this incredibly OP class which nevertheless manages to stay at Tier 3 throughout most of the ladder. Stranger things have happened.

@Difford-1989

@Madmax-12395

But if you’d rather people allow your Priest rants to continue uninterrupted by such nitpicks as “what it’s like to play as Priest,” by all means go ahead and continue.

You say rants, I say factual evidence that’s happened to me. The difference here is I haven’t made my own thread and the only change I’d advocate is for all Galakronds to retire out of Standard early. I’m proactive and I insta-concede the moment a Priest, DH or Mage pops up.

Sure, as long as we also HOF all the Highlander support cards. Fair’s fair.

@Difford-1989

@Madmax-12395

Wouldn’t want you to feel bothered.

I think you overestimate your care factor.

I’m only here because I care <3

It doesn’t matter if it’s Tier 7, the class generates too much value, consistent board clears, using opponents cards and brings back minions effectively.

People aren’t making ‘I hate Priest’ threads for fun. It’s genuinely an unfair class to play against for the most part.

@Madmax-12395

Sure, get rid of those too. I’m sick of Zephrys and Dragonqueen Alex. Alex sure gives a lot Legendary dragons.

I suggest you try it out then.

@NatureFolle-217642

Like the fact that devs don’t read the forums ?

Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. I am sure the feedback gets to them somehow even if they don’t follow each post.

@NatureFolle-217642

Or maybe the fact that if you meet many priest, it means many people like the class

So? People liked DH when it won them games and got them to Legend even though it was broken. Also because it was broken many people hated it. People will use whatever means to get them a win. Like the class or not.

Bottom line is Priest needs a re-design. If the whole premise of this game is to ‘have fun’ (that precedes competitiveness) then Priest fails at providing any of that miserably. Winning or losing against Pries is a lose/lose.

Playing as Priest is pretty fun though, so I would disagree that it fails miserably at fun.

[Difford-1989]

I’m into the more meme or less played archetypes. I’d rather play Silence Priest or that aggro one that had the Beaming Sidekicks, Neferset Ritualist, Injured Tol’vir etc.

Actually, I was running an OTK one with Rocketeer.

And playing against it isn’t. So it fails half-miserably then? Yup…

[NatureFolle-217642]

@BAIBARS-1627

And playing against a face hunter isn’t fun.
And playing against a spell druid isn’t fun.
And playing against an aggro demon hunter isn’t fun.
And playing against a qest warlock isn’t fun.
And playing against a HL mage isn’t fun.
And playing against a combo deck isn’t fun.
And playing against an aggro dec isn’t fun.
And playing against a control deck isn’t fun.

So the game is failing miserably at giving fun ? Or maybe it’s just that people enjoy different things ?
I enjoy playing against priest while I hate playing against hunter, for example. Do I ask for a rework of hunter ? No because I know lots people who play it are having fun

@BAIBARS-1627

And I said it still didn’t

No, You did not. Nowhere in your post does it say so. But you can always edit it there, wouldn’t surprise me.

[Peverin-2517]

@Difford-1989

so you are saying you would rather play the otk priest that won on turn 4 because that deck is more fair than the slower, more control style galakrond priest?

[Boreas-1179]

@Difford-1989

I didn’t compile what decks every OP was using but it’s the most talked about class complaint in recent times.

did you bother checking the meta ?

[BAIBARS-1627]

@BAIBARS-1627

There are decks that beat it (Galakrond Rogue mops the floor with with it), but that does not deny the fact that Priest is POS class that needs a complete overhaul.

In response to your comment about the two months old post and the fact that things changed.

Do you need it explained better or maybe you need to read it better? I bet it doesn’t matter, you still won’t get it.

[Difford-1989]

@Peverin-2517

I’m just saying it because I prefer the playstyle.

@Boreas-1179

did you bother checking the meta ?

No, just checking the forums… you know, the ones we’re debating on right now where all the complaints are.

[Boreas-1179]

so you think meta and complains are completely unrelated

but we do have some with crazy complains too

like the thread complaining about mind vision and thoughtsteal

[Difford-1989]

@Boreas-1179

I haven’t said that at all.

Priest is just annoying… even more so in wild… just the idea that they let razla or what ever he’s called be a thing is amazing… hero power for zero that gets refreshed is insanely stupid.

[IamNotAnumbr-1291]

@FatCatFoo-1878

Priest’s special ability IS resurrect, it’s what makes it a unique hero. Priest is not OP, Priest may be annoying but definitely not OP. If you play against a priest, get ready to play a long game which can be reduced if you play Rogue.

I’ve lost to Priest many times BUT I usually beat Priest b/c I use Sap and Flik Skyshiv. The trick against Priest is to go wide and build a board so when they drop Convincing Infiltrator, you can clear and hopefully lose a small minion. Next turn build up the board again and if you have sap, use it then to remove his minion and go face. That’s how I counter Priest and that’s how I usually beat them.

b/c it is common knowledge that EVERY single class has a “sap” …
also, after the first time you kill it, you have 2, then 4, than 7 to clear.
how many "sap"s do you have in your hand?

what we are trying to say is that the fact it is not “high tier” does not make it ok for it to exist. these type of cards should have even been printed in the first place. rez is ok as long it is not combine with some idiotic mechanic like Mechthun’s , the Librams (or any recursive), and especialy idiotic "kill your own minion to kill enemy minion and then re-summon your 9-mana minion for 2mana.

is that any clearer now?

Wait! are you saying it is idiotic? in Hearthstone ? IMPOSSIBLE!
Oh, wait, its HS, the most TERRIBLE dev team in the world…

@Boycott Priests by not playing with them Multiplayer Discussion

just quitting when you get them as an opponent

Step 1 - get people to quit against priest en masse
Step 2 - play priest
Step 3 - easy legend

We see through your shrewed plan mate
