When you nerf 4 class cards and the class only has 45 cards of its own lol.
Demon Hunter in the ditches now at a 49.4% winrate in standard and instant losses against the best class right now because sacrificial pack lol.
When you’ve been playing the game for almost 5 years and finally decide to pre-order because of a new class for the first time ever and only get 28 hours to play it lol.
oooh nooo a class who’s best deck’s worst matchup is itself and had 53%+ popularity got nerfed ooooh nooo
it only has 3 tier 2 decks now oh nooooooooo how will you ever survive
eh, not all of my 816 posts are toxic sarcasm, its just that DH was so popular and powerful it was by definition S-tier, it just wore me down. Usually I’m less sardonic but seeing people defending DH’s dominance just finally rubbed me the wrong way
At Legend the deck has 53.4% WR, it’s not remotely dead, it’s just balanced. Yes there are currently better decks like Gala Warlock but it’s still a fine Tier 2 deck. Many classes don’t even have a tier 2 deck (Warrior/Shaman) so DH is doing fine.
Just wait. Right now most decks are slanted really heavily towards DH hate, and it just got nerfed.
Imo when DH settles down and people start building for something else, DH will pop right back up. It still does aggression far better than other classes can.
I get the feeling, but trust me, the class is still very much playable. As much as I loathe encouraging more DHs on ladder, I could find you some viable lists on HSreplay if it helps you enjoy your pre-order.
You’re complaining that it’s unplayable when it nearly destroyed the game otherwise? You’re statement implies that you were complacent with the state of the game before these emergency nerfs took place, and that you prefer to play a class that was blatantly broken over having a healthy game state. How very self conceited.
Stop looking at CLASS winrate, start looking at deck winrate. There you go. Its stilla very strong class, just toned down from what it was. And thats before you even consider how heavily teched the rest of the meta is against DH!
