With this new update, unless you are playing a super aggressive deck, warlocks would have to be the most busted class in the game, closely followed by a mages!
They have every tool to clear a boards over and over again, while still having some of the best units in the game. I know as i play mostly priest the new jarraxus might as well be considered an I WIN button.
May as well concede as soon as being matched against a warlock tbh.
yeah, jeraxus did need a buff but maybe they overdid it, new Jeraxus makes even FL Jaina look bad.
About the class having strong control tools that’s fine imo, there are many playes who really used to wish control warlock would make a come back and now they can enjoy it.
If I were to change something about warlock i’d just delete tick though, there’s one thing it feels toxic from warlock it’s that
Thats just not true, the best in the game right now is Paladin and its not even close it has over 10%+ win rate on poor Warlocks that you say are busted.
It just so happens that the deck you are playing gets hard countered by them that alone is not enouth to warrent nerfs just because you losse to them.
I prefer to think of it as benevolently granting you access to the five cards UNDERNEATH what we burn- thosr cards you would never have seen were it not for our gracious intervention.
The entire Warlock deck is based around Tickatus as a win condition. It also requires setup can’t just throw out Tickatus willy nilly and boom deck deleted you have to corrupt it first most of the time with something 7+ mana and then bring a copy back with a 10 mana card. How is that any different from Toggwaggle wombo combos other that its Warlock and currently has a version in Standard. People splitting hairs for Tickatus all i see is just another alternate win con combo about the same as any other and i fight it accordingly.
i have like a 95% loss rate against warlocks no matter what deck i try, but you are right, it seems like there are way too many triggering classes atm and im regretting comming back from an expansion break.
Yeah. It is either a warlock that doesn’t allow me to have a board until he outs value me, a Rogue that manages to throw all his hand by turn 3 while keeping a lot of other cards or a Druid that steals the game with some crazy turn. And that is when I am lucky, if not, it would be Mage or Paladin T.T
Well said and i agree with you. Warlock shuts down any non agro meta deck way to easily. It kills variety of possible decks because of this. If you want to play a control deck there is no other option besides warlock.
However, If they nerf warlock that has a lot of potential to just shift which class is near unbeatable. There are ALOT of cards at a crazy powerlevel currently. Warlock keeps in check that other unfair shenanigans that are currently just slightly to slow because of it.
It’s not as easy as nerfing one class, There entire Standard set needs reworking.
