Resolved: The Grim Patron Warrior deck ought to be nerfed in Hearthstone.

I'm sorry, but you really don't understand what a balanced metagame really is. Let's just go through all your misconceptions. 1. You said there is no such thing as a Grim Patron Warrior deck, and that Grim Patron is a class and has a golden character. That is not true. Warrior is a class which can choose between Garrosh Hellscream and Magni Bronzebeard as its heroes, and Grim Patron is a card. So yes, a Grim Patron Warrior deck does exist. http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com... shows this. 2. You didn't contest framework or definitions so sorry, but you basically just lose the debate because of that. The standard is going to be based off Blizzard's earlier bans, so I don't care whether you think it's OK for the meta to be warped or not. Back when Miracle Rogue was the best deck, Blizzard still nerfed it. It isn't fun to just queue in to Patron Warrior mirrors 24/7 or face aggro decks. According to Tempo Storm's Power Rankings, (https://tempostorm.com...) Patron is ranked second alongside some aggro decks, but people think Patron should probably be first because it has a good matchup against Secret/Agro Pally. So since you didn't refute my arguments, they still stand. The meta is just combo and aggro decks, and that is not what Blizzard wants. It's not fun to have this metagame, and nerfing Emperor will help. 3. Not everyone can play Patron. What if they don't have the cards yet? Do you want them to just lose every game until they can afford the Patron deck? If a game is not conducive to newer players, then nobody will play the game besides the people already playing. Blizzard wants growth in their games, so having a flawed system where nobody new plays is a terrible idea. 4. You probably aren't a hunter specialist because Face Hunter has an awful matchup. According to Th3Rat, a Patron specialist, "Face Hunter (Smash All Day): Probably your best match-up (...) This match-up is extremely straightforward." Face Hunter has an atrocious matchup. The Midrange Hunter matchup on the other hand, is about 50-50. Th3Rat says it is Hunter favored but Tempo Storm says it is Patron favored, it really depends on the lists, kind of like Control Warrior vs Handlock. So unless you specifically tech for Patron, which is proof that Patron is dominating the meta, you won't be having that good of a matchup vs it. 5. As for the rogue part, Th3 Rat continues: "Oil Rogue (Smashable): People believe that Oil Rogue is this godawful match-up for Patron Warrior and I don"t see it. There are two ways that you can lose vs Oil Rogue, letting them get minions on the board during the early to mid-game and over committing to a board full of Patrons. Fortunately for you, your weapons match up perfectly against the threats you can expect Oil Rogue to play against you. Death"s Bite lines up perfectly against Violet Teacher and Fiery War Axe lets you handle either Earthen Ring Farseer or SI:7 Agent efficiently. If you don"t get a weapon the game can get out of control quickly since they can burst you with Tinker's Sharpsword Oil. Focus on playing around Blade Flurry when a 3 attack+ weapon is equipped." So even though it is a tough matchup, Patron can win. 6. You dropped my arguments about the other decks. Oops. So unless you think an OTK turn 9 is healthy, Emperor needs a nerf, which means I win right there. So for fun, let's recap how many ways I am winning. You never address my points, only claiming that it doesn"t need a nerf because anyone can play Patron, but new players won"t join if there is only one dominant deck. You don"t understand the matchup tables unless your Hunter is specifically teched for Patron. You started this debate by saying Grim Patron Warrior is not a deck, so you don"t even know what classes are in the game. Your argument is irrelevant because you dropped framework. You"re losing every way in the world. Can you really claim this is balanced? https://youtu.be... Judge, this is an easy affirmative vote. We cannot continue to have this cancer in the meta. Patron is disgusting and needs a nerf. Vote Aff.
