At this point, I'm fine with it not being nerfed. Like I said, I don't think Warlock is anywhere near the Quest Rogue point of cancerous, or cancerous at all really.

It goes back to my previous point of hoping their PR reasoning (which can be different from their internal reasoning) for not nerfing it isn't that it's a bad deck, because that just seems like a poor message to be sending out when we have at least a partial representation of the stats available to us and can see how that isn't the case.

If winrates solely determined nerfs then Quest Rogue never gets nerfed

Or like, Hex


If anything, this makes the "12th best deck" comment make even less sense because, as they've seen in the past, sometimes a deck doesn't have to be "the best" for it to be cancerous.

I don't think Warlock is at that point, though.

The guy is just legitimately stupid, and to make it worse he's a manipulator. I fucking hate BS artists.


I went to look at that post and its replies, and it only took getting to the second sentence of the second reply for me to think "huh, this sure sounds like something Ulti would say", and then I looked at the username.

I just hope their reasoning for not nerfing any Warlock cards wasn't "It's the 12th best deck", because as we've just discussed, that statement is likely only true for a certain percentage of the playerbase that plays it.

That doesn't really disprove the point made though. If players from rank 20-15 are playing it at a 40% winrate, and players from rank 5 and up are at 55%, does that make it a bad deck?

The numbers are made up for the example.


I'm not trying to disprove any points, I'm just giving data that shows that what mike said is probably accurate based on the sample size he was looking at


Yeah, I understand. I think it's definitely an issue with how Blizzard looks at these stats. Should they really be taking into consideration games from the lowest ranks when making their claims if that doesn't represent the portion of the fanbase that cares the most about balance issues?

Vicious Syndicate has the numbers by rank but I'm on my phone so I can't link it at the moment.

EDIT: It goes from 10th to 6th when you switch from all ranks to legend.

Someone in the comments pointed out that it might be a Patron Warrior situation, where it's easily the best deck but suffers a low winrate because of its difficulty to pilot.

In that case, "12th best deck" doesn't really make sense. I'm sure it's not the 12th best deck from rank 5 to legend.

Next season is going to be interesting. Amendola filled the Edelman role very nicely at the end there, so in theory that 1-2 punch could be great.

I'n hoping they look from within to replace the two top coordinators.

I can't believe Belichick benched Butler for the entire game. I don't disagree with the decision, but he's definitely going to hear it from the media.

It was already almost certain that Butler wasn't coming back next year, but this confirms it.

The Patriots are the only real good team I'm a fan of in the big 4 leagues (lol Toronto sports), so I both know what it feels like to consistently win as well as the agony of constantly coming short.

It's a good feeling when it finally comes together, Eagles fans.
