My guest is none but let’s hope Blizzard is smart and does something soon because Meta is horrible as it currently is. The most match played I see on the ladder is DK Zerg I face maybe a few other classes but Meta is mostly DK.
That’s why seeing the old face decks return now because of DK zerg decks. Like hero power druid, weapon rogue, and others can rush them down.
Probably next week at some point. That puts the set at the 2-3 week mark for when they usually do Buffs/Nerfs.
As soon as they nerf Zerg you’ll be complaining about Protoss wanna bet?
There’s nothing wrong with other factions it just zergs with how quickly overwhelm you with no counter. The faction could use a buff or so because their card because it is so slow to build up.
How are you seeing so much dk?

It’s neither the best nor the most popular deck in standard, so I’m confused why everyone is so up in arms about it.
Even D4-1 it’s not the strongest or even that common.

so this isnt the old monsterparty is someone else
the guy whos bveen here for years knows they release a balance patch 2 weeks after each new content release
I have seen 2 out of 3 games at D-5 are Zerg DK.
Terran Shaman has been decent for me against Zerg decks.
Starship Shaman, Protoss Mage and Zerg Warlock can do the same thing. Don’t forget Weapon Druid which is just a more flexible version of Weapon Rogue.
You are in the public forums. Half the players are not even in diamond let alone in Legend or Diamond 1 to 4 (even I didn’t bother playing after D5 this month).
But I think they also reduced after people started countering them because if you filter by the whole “Starcraft” of “All” ranks there are various >100K DKs.
Also ZachO reported it at yesterday’s podcast as the most popular class. I usually find their takes bad but in this case it’s a stat D0nkey doesn’t aggregate.
It’s literally on the stats I linked … popularity. That’s the % of the total sample listed.
Here is winrate D4-1 last 24 hours with minimum of only 100 games.

Here is the same chart sorted by popularity.

As you can see, DK is played much less than either shaman or druid.
I know. I meant D0nkey doesn’t add the popularities (there are several DK archetypes and several Zerg DK Archetypes and it’s unclear how many are sub-50 samples too that should be added (probably dozens of hidden archetypes)).
I assume Zack0 did a total sum per class alone somehow (in order for him to report DK as the most popular class this meta).
Yeah I’ll take that bet, I’ll probably be complaining too.
Wouldn’t the game be perfect if we won 100% of the time.
when you sort by meta, it’s adding all the decks that fit that type, so it’s pretty easy math to add and see that dk is is about 1/10 decks… less than shaman and druid by half.
Exactly this. Protoss is only slightly slower than zerg.
I’m not in favor of nerfing either, though.
That doesn’t count the countless of decks that don’t fit one of the archetypes or they are below 50 samples.
In any case D0nkey does not add them, ZachO claims he knows DK is the most popular class.
I’ll take “adding nothing to the conversation” for 500, Alex.
Those don’t really exist like you think they do.
When the top played has 65k games or more, those little decks don’t add up to more than a point or two.
Again, the stats over the last couple of days don’t support your claims or ZachO’s. If he’s looking at data since launch, he may have a different picture than what we see more recently.
The fact is those reports are backward looking and always trail the current meta. It would seem very much that people have adapted to zerg and it’s not the meta tyrant people have made it out to be. There are a handful of better choices, and the win rate/play rate of the deck doesn’t support nerfs. Further, several of the more problematic cards in the DK deck will rotate in a few weeks.
See the latest VS report, for what Zach0 meant. DK is highest on distributions, with the exception of top 1K.
