Community before expansion released: "These combo decks are too strong, The new altarac decks and archetypes won't see play if you don't nerf the OTKs"
Blizzard: "Don't worry about that, we expect Shattered in Altarac valley to change the meta in a big way."
Pro players: "Keep playing stormwind OTK decks during THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!" (And sometimes an aggro deck that also already existed in stormwind)
Blizzard when they see the decks that pro players are bringing: "*insert surprised pikachu face*"
Wow blizz REALLY got embarrased with this. These are THE best HS players, and their using only a couple new cards. This really shows how little of an impact Shattered in altarac valley made, how little Blizzard understands the word "balanced", and how Stormwind was way too powerful of a set. And also, were talking about the decks the best HS players are bringing to THE WORLD CHAMIONSHIP 2021! And the only "new" Deck is OwlTK warlock and that deck uses the same "shell" as the Demon seed warlock.
The world championship is supposed to get people into playing HS and show how much fun HS is. But instead this will just scare them away when they see this uninteractive gameplay. This is such a big blunder on Blizzards part. It honestly makes me feel sad to see the game in this state. :(
Let's hope the upcoming balance changes make a huge impact, otherwise i fear that Altarac might become Rastakhan's Rumble 2.0
For what it's worth, I'd say most Masters Tours this year were very watchable and pretty fun. Even though I might not've personally enjoyed playing or facing some of the decks the players were using a lot. The viewing experience for esports can be surprisingly different/better. Casters and the production alone add a lot of quality when the metagame itself might be lacking.
32 pro decks from *United in Stormwind
I did want to make that 'joke', but the title was deemed as potentially confusing.
well guess what... OTK Fiesta with a bit of aggro sprinkled in
