Normally, you choose the title of the article in order for it to be short and representative of the content it showcases.
It does contain nerf suggestions, it does contain cards we'd personally like to see changed - even though you'd like Paladin to be hit, there's no way Team 5 will nerf 4 of the cards Uther currently plays.
In other words, the article showcases a list of possible way to change (and possibly improve) the meta: it is fair to assume that, even though we nailed quite a few predictions in the past, we don't have neither the means nor the abilities to be perfect.
In the end, this kind of article is aimed at creating a form of discussion between the community members: do you see something you agree with us? Great, we're on the same page! Do you see something you're totally against? Tell us why!
Well, Priest is definitely among the most powerful decks, with just a few matchups including Control Warlock (which is bad but still sees play because reasons) holding it back.
This is so dumb and shows either thread creator is a control priest fanboy or has no opinions and listens to the loudest complainers.
First of all, thanks: you don't even know me or my personal tastes but labelling me as a "fanboy" is far easier, right? Sure. Not that I really need to justify myself, but since I track my wins I can tell you that since January I've won just 18 Priest games and spoiler: they were all while achievement hunting.
For the second point, the article does not represent the cards I would like to see nerfed, but rather, and I copy-pasted this from the intro:
Quote From Avalon, literally in the intro of the article
A list of nerfs we (or the Hearthstone community) deem likely to happen.
After reading your whole comment, more than me being a Priest fanboy you seem to be the average Priest hater, which is quite far more common.
No one is saying Priest is fine and should not be touched, no one is saying Priest is bad, no one is saying Priest is overpowered and should be pummeled to the ground.
If you have an opinion on how you'd like to improve the meta, you're more than welcome to express it, since this is a discussion article whose goal is promoting interaction between the community members. Your suggestion about limiting chained Discoveries is quite interesting, but to be fair I would've preferred you to focus on that and express it better rather than jamming blows to me. Be better.
The fact that there's a possible counter doesn't mean that the card is bad. If you play [Hearthstone Card (Dark Speaker Blackthorn) Not Found] in a Midrange-ish style deck that keeps dealing chip damage to the opponent, you don't really need that huge of a tempo swing to close the game.
Moreover, the minions summoned from the deck have Deathrattle: sure, your opponent can clear with Twisting Nether, but good luck with what spawns from them.
Well, you can somehow manipulate Blackthorn pool by not including low Cost Deathrattles - sure stuff like Razorboar is not bad, but it really depends on what you're looking for.
Moreover, summoning 3 5 Cost Deathrattle for 7 mana + a 3/6 would be quite a bit too broken, don't you think?
Now I'd like to see all the people who rudely replied to this comment keeping their Kargal Battlescar (if they happen to own one) despite the upcoming dust refund.

It is probably one of the topic that brings out the most conflict among the community members lol - definitely agree with you.

Happy you found success with it ;)

Why do you think hitting Priest and Warlock would not be correct?
^ This.
I want to be fair and honest: I completely forgot about Akama Prime - I guess we can say he hides very well :P
The Lich King's return for the 3rd expansion of this year confirmed Pog
Yep, it was confirmed by Celestalon a few weeks ago (can't find the exact tweet but you can trust me on this one)
I am a simple man - I see VS content, I like it.
Now I'd like to see all the people who rudely replied to this comment keeping their Kargal Battlescar (if they happen to own one) despite the upcoming dust refund.
Why do you think Crabrider needs a nerf?
Kind of reasonable if you wait and see what the post-nerfs meta will look like.
The fuck man
People are grossly underestimating Guff Runetotem.
Care to elaborate?
Edit: then what OmarComing said.
