Given that we’re entering March soon, we’re only a few weeks away from the new Standard year and expansion announcements. But we haven’t heard anything from the devs, not even a word about any potential date for the patch. That’s why I thought that we’ll get a quick balance update – it doesn’t take a lot of stats to see that Construct Quarter and Blazing Transmutation are broken and really need a nerf. Other decks can barely scratch the 5% popularity mark, with many of the archetypes that would be perfectly viable sitting at 2-3% because they get completely crushed by Frost DK. Then we have Evolve Shaman… and then a sharp drop-off. But what makes it even worse is that Blood Death Knight is now the second most popular deck, and thanks to Construct Quarter it shares many of the same game patterns with the Frost build (despite being a much slower deck overall). That’s already incredibly high, but if we look at pocket metas such as high Diamond or high Legend, it’s over 40%. Popularity-wise, the deck sits at ~25% at all ranks. Some other decks get close to 50% win rate against it, but unless you heavily and I mean heavily tech against it (to the point of you losing winrate in other matchups) I haven’t seen that in a long time – the best counter to Frost DK is another Frost DK (in other words, 50/50). If I look at the stats right now, it shows that its worst matchup is… Frost Death Knight. The deck has no bad matchups and I mean it. Evolve Shaman is still problematic and if Frost DK wasn’t here it would probably be on the top, so I think that it should get nerfed too, but it’s not the highest priority right now.įrost Death Knight completely pushed out many other decks from the meta. As I’ve suspected, Frost Death Knight completely dominates the meta right now. I thought that we’ll get a nerf patch this week given how unbalanced the game currently is.
