Current Meta – Face Race?

The meta has always been quite fast, mostly because of some insanely strong early game minions. However, some decks (like the scout-ramp-guard-deck) counter theese decks really well. Thats why it’s called meta game: first one deck is popular, then the dek that is good against that popular deck becomes popular and so on. Always try to stay one step ahead

Quite frankly the meta is trash. When I played Hearthstone I lost most my games to more of RNG. In Legends I lose to aggro because it really doesn’t have a downside to it. Other than having some sense of dignity or accomplishment there is no incentive to play anything outside of aggro. Prophecy isn’t enough to count on when your opponent knows you’re screwed on draw or mulligan and they’re playing 18-20 removal items in aggro (which is also completely stupid).

Granted it’s in beta, but if they thought nerfing Mantikora was a step in the right direction then that tells you what they’re thinking. Aggro players complained all day about Mantikora yet it’s a 6/6 guard that can be targeted by anything and dies to lethal just like everything else. For 10 mana it was supposed to halt an offense but since aggro players whined they figured it would be best to force an aggro world in the game. The attitude is if you can’t beat em join em and it’s making people so happy…..which is a matter of opinion.

I think the game has great potential but if the intent is to cater to a crowd of aggro, miserly, BM cream filled players then it’s not going to get any better. Aggro has a place in any card game but it should not be the posterchild for the entire game.

You can disagree and I’m fine with that. It doesn’t take away from the fact of statistics showing aggro is what consistently reached legend and more importantly high legend. Between Youtube, Twitch and simply doing the math while playing you can see what is used and what is more successful. I stand behind my comment based off of observation and doing the math not just opinion. Besides, if the meta was as great as you insist there wouldn’t be the “nerfs” incoming and especially the ones that hit Agility.

At the end of the day aggro decks and especially Action Assassin had more play and win rate than most any other decks and archetype. That is not opinion that is fact. What also is fact is most those decks especially action assassin received no nerfs and will play just as it has been. Decks also with Soulrest Marshall will also be just fine because playing 12 mana worth of cards on turn 4 and 5 is also balanced I take it. Prophecy is not strong enough in consistency to say it will save you from face and Hexmage decks. If they nerf the right cards the true shift in meta will occur.

You can also downvote this as well but you can’t truly say I’m lying. This comes from a person who mains Priest in HS. I’m aware of the cancer there as well. However, I can better deal with braindead shaman aggro more than the current state of this game.
