So many decks to play in wild, so many good decks. Yet all you see is quest hunter, pirate warrior from bronze to diamond. So for those who complain about wild, blame the community not Blizzard.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

No in this case those who complain about wild should hate the players, not the game. These wild tryharders play like they are making money from HS. I have not seen a creative deck being played in wild ranked ever. The last 20 games in wild, 16 were quest hunters, extremely pathetic. Yes you can blame for Blizzard for having decks like quest hunter that have basically no counter, destroy mage with flare to make mage unplayable in wild also. I mean yes you can blame them for that, but you can not blame them for the wild community spamming the same exact deck over and over. Players that will never see high legend, never see real competition and make money. This is the reason why wild hs is horrible, the players not Blizzard.

I can blame them and I do. T5 is allowing these OP decks to kill the mode. Players will play what is most powerful. T5 should realize this and compensate by adjusting these decks.

Really so why is it that players like me do not spam these decks, yet still able to get to legend? Why do we blame Blizzard and not those players?

You blame Blizzard for designing an environment in which only a few decks are viable. Team 5 should have the foresight that whatever the best decks are, that those decks will be played to the potential detriment to the game.

But there are plenty of viable decks to play in wild, I have hit legend with tier 4 decks in wild. But the wild community MUST play pirate warrior and quest hunter from bronze to legend. It is sad really.

It is sad. I’d also blame T5 for neglecting the mode. Most of what I hear from Wild players is that T5 seemingly ignores it.

There must always be a Lich Ki–uh, Best Deck.
Of course. However, the margin between the best decks and lesser decks is huge, from my understanding, in Wild.
T5 is God and this game is their creation. Anything that is allowed to happen in this game is a direct consequence of decisions T5 has made – or hasn’t made.

It is not Blizzards fault that players must play low IQ, no skill easy mode decks. That those players do not play a game for fun, instead play it like they are earning money. Not their fault really.
I think you’re letting T5 off easy here. All decks in this game exist because of them. Decks, like Quest Warrior, probably shouldn’t exist. At the least, decks like this that require little to no thought shouldn’t be very powerful and consistent.

And I think there’s a huge gap between the top netdecks and random things average players put together in Standard, too.
Wild is supposed to be a place where everyone can go to play their favorite decks, that’s why balance passes are so infrequent. Not just for you to play the decks you want to play, and everything else gets nerfed until you can play what you want.

I don’t play wild and am not suggesting any specific changes.
Okay, my bad. 20 characters.

I usually see a lot of murloc shaman in wild, because I play murloc shaman in wild. I may dabble with bomb warrior or something else after I hit platinum again. I can say that many people play pirate warrior because it works. Right now a lot of the other decks need new cards in order to catch up to pirate warrior. You’re either with the pirates, or you’re against the pirates for now.
Blizzard designed the game, the rules, the cards, the formats and the rewards.
People then choose to play decks that can rack up wins as quickly as possible to achieve those rewards.
I have never seen a single quest hunter or pirate warrior in wild btw. I don’t play past silver and have a low star bonus each month as a result. If you are playing against people who are trying to reach legend, then yes, of course you will see people playing the best perceived decks. They want to win. It’s ridiculous to blame people for trying.
People routinely exaggerate how overpowered the most popular decks are, at least in Wild currently (and probably all formats at all times). There are plenty of decks in other classes that do things that are in the same tier of disgusting as Odd Hunter and Pirate Warrior — those decks are good.
Is there a difference in power levels between Pirate Warrior and the rest of the format? Yes. Is this difference gargantuan? Well, I guess it depends on what you feel is gargantuan. I think Wild Pirate Warrior should be nerfed. But I don’t think it should be nerfed anywhere near as hard as the typical Pirate Warrior QQer would like.

You can definitely hate the player.
Especially players who use exploits, nothing but the OP things, or abuses a gimmick, etc. To me it mirrors society. People with no moral compass have no honor and will use anything borderline to cheating for an edge. In most cases would cheat given the opportunity. In the sports world it’s one thing to get an edge over your opponent but in a sportsmanship way rather than in this virtual world where people choose being a huge doucher over being a good sport. It is the reason Hearthstone is a garbage dice roll devoid of skill. Only way the devs can do anything to progress this game is to further power creep to the point there is 0 cost iWin cards.
People who have never competed at anything in their life see no wrong in this sort of thing. It really is a moot point though consider this game never involved actual skill to pilot though.
It is Blizzards fault. They created the deck, it is their fault. This game is an absolute crapper at the moment. It is in the worst it has ever been, and they do not want to change wild, because they don’t wan to refund dust in order to keep people spending money. The same reason Wild exists, so people feel like they aren’t wasting money when they reprint cards.
