You see, I’m a semiprofessional priest hater (I don’t get paid for hating, but I do it as it was a job) and well, I’m struggling to hate on priest rn
For once, facing priest isn’t that toxic and I don’t find them in 40% of my games anymore
One could say that’s a good thing but even for me it’s a bit sad to see priest like this, hating on priests was my fuel to keep going everyday, I don’t know what will I do now…
They still have very good Zarimi and Pain decks (at least). I personally don’t play them because Zarimi was nerfed and got dust out of it.
All priests and warlocks and warriors will be hugely different after rotation next expansion since they change most of their best cards.
People usually play a certain class because of the design and archetypes around it. For example, people play Druid to ramp mana and do big things later in the game.
Priest was never an aggro class in the past, so most aggro players weren’t playing Priest. They were playing classes that were designed to be aggro.
Priests just recently got lots of support for aggro archetypes.
My theory is that people who play aggro decks don’t play Priest because they likely don’t want to invest in Priest cards and just rather stay with Demon Hunter instead and that Priest players aren’t playing aggro because that’s generally not why they picked playing the class in the first place.
It’s the only thing I can think of. This is why I’m not playing Priest and instead am playing DK or Paladin. Both of those classes are doing things the classes normally do.
And if I wanted to play an aggro deck, I’d just play Demon Hunter.

XL shadow priest is everywhere in competitive wild. I may have to breakdown and make one as I haven’t bothered to climb to legend the past two months.
Hate something else then, problem solved. I hated Priest the most too until DK released. Priest always had answer for almoast everything, copy half of the enemy deck, generate tons of resources and heal a lot of HP too easy. DK proved to be even worse.
I still see tons of em with Zarimi Priest. I don’t like playing control priest archetype with no clear win cons. But I do enjoy previous iteration of Raza shadowreaper anduin priest and savior of uldum inner fire priest (I do have Zarimi priest as well but I rarely use that deck). I might enjoy elwynn boar priest if I was playing hearthstone at that time.

There’s tons of priests infecting the meta most are dragon priests or aggro priests, both disgusting decks to play against

Zarimi is about the only deck they have that can compete. The issue is that it gets out aggroed by shaman and some control decks can gain so much armor that the extra turn does not mean much.
