Priest needs a new identity. Way too much copying.

Submitted 8 months, 1 week ago by

They have a 3 mana copy a card from your opponents hand and deck which is basically a better version of draw 2. So why is it the same cost as Arcane intellect. It should be 4 or 5 mana. 

 

Then they have a 2 mana add a minion from the battlefield to your hand. They can just copy the most broken minions for 2 mana. 

 

Then they can discover copies of their copy cards. Copy minions in their own deck all while disrupting your hand with dirty rat, having 1 mana silence all minions, and controlling the board with their various board clears 

 

and then they still have their titan and create a weapon card. Priest just has an endless supply of tools and the copying makes it a million times worse.

 

Can they please nerf these copying cards, there needs to be an actual price they pay to just have all this value.

    You lost to a priest, didn't you? :))

    It's ok, team5 have no idea what they are doing. They keep winging it with some adjustments here and there. The game went to shit long ago, simply because it went from a bit chess-like to full arcade mode.

    It's like playing Charrua Soccer vs Fifa.

    If you don't like what they are doing with it, spend your time somewhere else. It's not gonna change. They unfortunately get too much money out of it now.

    and mage discovers everything,

    and rogue discovers everything,

    and death knight discovers everything and sits on 70 health

    and warrior sits on 50 armor

    and shaman unendlessly fill board and his hand

    and demon hunter draws a lot with mana cheat

    and druid brings huge monsters so early with full board and ramps and gains huge armor

    and paladin discovers a lot and mana cheats and fills his hand with mechs

    and warlock mana cheats a lot disrupts your turn with abyssals a lot

    and hunter copies beasts a lot with mana cheating

     

    Let's make classes relying on their Hero Powers and make Hearthstone great again !

     

    I mean, All classes are represented in the ladder right now with one or more type of deck. What's the problem ? Every other class can find something to whine about from another. If it bothers you, play that class or just stop playing, it is damn 2023 with thousands of games around. You can easily find another title to enjoy.

    That was my response to your whine, glad you understand.

    I thought that would be rude tho, at least you got me.

    I think you might have had a poor experience playing against priest, which is fine because we all have at some point of our lives.

    But perhaps you should try playing as priest, and you'd see why all their copy cards are actually quite fine. Far removed from being as broken as you think. If youre struggling to beat priest in a value game that's entirely the point of design: priest end game is vastly more powerful than most classes. If youre playing a very greedy deck with no win cons you wont beat priest, that's by design.

    Only thing I would agree is that the titan cards are making copy cards a little more powerful than they should otherwise be. But that's not the fault of copy from a design perspective, that's just the introduction of overpowered cards.
