Dead meta conspiracy

It's something we all think but didn't get actual confirmation the current hs meta (not bg) is bad and shaman is 27.9% of the meta is shaman (source vicious syndicate Nov 14 meta report)

Which is NOT a healthy meta.. And the solution is EASY to retire evolve or the whole wild set early, team 5 knows it but doesn't do it.. Why?

The theory is 2 reasons:

1. To promote battle grounds

2. To make it so players have less gold toward the expansion. 

Don't see most hs streamers playing normal hs anymore and I can see why... 

Dunno about you but the scheme is working and is really annoying that they don't act or communicate about actual hs since hs bg came out suppously because of the above reasons.

  • HS will become a secondary game soon, being outclassed by BG. That's their intention too.

    Soon after that, they will link the two in ways that force you to play both in order to have access to certain (fun or important) things.

    There will certainly be a discussion about making BG an independent game, away from the HS UI and such. For now it's not feasible. But it will be.

     

  • If Blizzard had wanted to abandon hearthstone they wouldn't have made Battlegrounds as a HS tie-in, they would have made it a separate game to begin with. IIR half of ladder was playing quest shaman prior to the doom in the tomb event, so it's not like Evolve is the only thing propping up the class.

  • I think they planned BG as a replacement for ANY stale/solved meta in late expansion.

    It is a coincidence that staleness also comes with a warped meta.

  • Every 4 months the same discussion. 

    Blizzard follows the policy of rare changes to make the game accessible to players that don’t Check the latest HS News every day and know all meta Decks by hearth.

    Should they remove evolve from the meta? Probably. (Some people think, infinite quest druid would become unstoppable then)

    Do they prefere to keep their game boring so that people earn less gold and buy more packs? Never ever! This makes no sense by any means.

    Pre expansion meta is - and has allways been - less exciting. But this time we got back Some cool cards from the past and  Battlegrounds to pass the time. I would think that‘s great...?

    Also from all the unbalanced metas we had, this one is quit fair tbh. Yes there are lots of shamans but the decks are different. And for my part, i have still 4-5 decks from other classes that are good enough to climb above rank 5. Just think back to Odd Paladin, pirate warrior or jade druid times. THOSE were opressive decks..
