Have there been times that an announced card was bashed by pros and/or Reddit but turned out really good? Conversely, what received tons of praise only to fall flat?
I'm kind of a new player myself and wonder, with history as some context, if pros and Reddit have been accurate when it came to predicting the merit of announced cards.
This'll help me with my own theorycrafting.
If its alright, may I know the reasons behind their initial assessments? Also, why'd they turn out to be wrong?
e: Thank you everyone!

Yes. As a matter of fact, this happens during every card reveal period to a greater or lesser extent. It happens with entire classes, too. Both players and pros are often proven incorrect.
The lesson learned is just as quickly forgotten, it seems. In fairness, people are becoming better at assessing cards in a vacuum, and being more cautious about pronouncements of "good" or "bad".
