I might be crazy but I remember the meta always being awful when priest is even remotely good.

What is the solution?

No solution, just pointing it out for those who love priest.
Priest and Warrior metas are horrible. They are excruciating decks to play against. Any time decks incite a higher than usual number of auto concedes that is an issue. If someone would rather take an instant loss than play a match is not good. And I mean higher than usual amount of concedes.

Okay there NL, L, WNL.
Not really.
Just the matches themselves against Priest but they maintain some pretty dumb stuff out of the ladder too.
If devs gave a little more thought to moderating thier power to steal entire win conditions or the most broken cards from any class in any given match it might help. Then again, it take a lot of skill to play priest decks in general, which creates a fine line between broken and garbage. From inception through probably the grand crusade I mained priest but big res priest was so broken it felt bad to play it. It was the reason for the first hiatus I took from the game.
The steal your crap class also known as Priest for some reason is annoying but not OP.
By the way, why was Priest designated as the class that steals, whats the logic behind?

That’s what I’ve been saying since 2014 xDD
I guess the logic is in real life they earn money from government and taking from poor people every mass
They’re legal thieves, social parasites
They depend on what you give them, not on what they earn

Looks like the logic is based on WoW’s Shadow Priest which attacks enemy’s mental health and after redesign is close to Lovecraft’s lore with Old Gods references. Another option is they’ve tried to reflect priest’s general ability to mind control.
Still looks weird when a priest steals card in Hearthstone.

Priest and Rogue should switch their abilities… i think it would fit much better with the theme… rogue thief and priest mana manipulator.

Guess you guys have not run into pirate rogues stealing your whole hand or taking your minions. Funny how Rogue’s superior steal mechanics fly under the radar. Losing to a Priest or being dragged through a card game that takes longer than 3 minutes must be excrutiatingly painful.

No because the deck itself is bad.
So are most priest decks though. Just saying that Priests don’t even get the best steal cards, nor the ability to generate cards the way Rogues do, yet we still have people whining about a wounded gazelle of a class just because they’re annoying to play against? Name a class that isn’t annoying to play against on the Ladder.

Of courses its awful. When a class plays the exact same cards you do with and additional mana tax and somehow still ends up ahead there is something very wrong going on. Good thing this hasn’t happened yet.

Celestial alignment.
Paladin, Hunter, Demon Hunter, Druid, Rogue, Mage (I have changed my opinion on Mage, Warrior and Warlock. That leaves DK and Priest as annoying to play against.
I love playing against priests. Free wins ftw.
