That’s why win rate ought to be the primary driver of these changes. So their decision to make a balancing adjustment entirely based on “feels” resulted in a completely misguided change that just destroyed a deck (that many, many players loved) rather than coming up with a solution to make it better overall. This is what effectively destroyed the deck. But the deck became much, much weaker against aggro, because now any aggro deck (even a slower one) could easily burn the Rogue down with those two extra turns. This made the deck only a tiny bit weaker against control, since QR could still get there against the slowest decks. This slowed quest completion by roughly 1-2 turns. Instead they simply bumped the bounce requirement from 4 to 5. And on the other side, maybe give some armor/heal component to some of the core cards of the deck to improve it’s resilience to aggro. This would allow control decks to withstand the damage (reduced by 20%) AND have a better chance to remove the lower health minions. Nerfing the post-quest stats from 5/5 to 4/4 (or even 4/3) might have been a better approach. The best overall solution would have been to make the deck weaker against control AND more resilient to aggro, ideally maintaining that 50% win rate. So any nerf implemented was entirely based on “feels bad man” with zero consideration given to the many players who loved the deck. With an overall win rate of about 50%, the deck would seem to be ok… overall. And aggro decks didn’t always beat QR it was just a very favorable matchup. Now that’s not to say that a control deck could never beat QR it just was a very unfavored matchup. The weakness, of course, was that hyper aggro decks would destroy it so quickly that it never got a chance to do it’s thing.

The strength of the deck was that it could complete it’s quest and create a sustained dominant position in the mid game long before slow control decks could get going. I’ll reiterate my case for the original Quest Rogue. “feels bad” is incredibly relevant to balance decisionsĪnd I think it ought to be less relevant. It could still be a good deck post rotation but i have a feeling it’s mid game falls apart. That weapon is the absolute nuts on 4 for just about any match to extend games. It loses two big tech cards in Slate and especially Ringling’s Rifle. Going into rotation it keeps a solid core of cards but not everything. I normally have to have Slate or Ringling’s in hand if i want to beat those decks. Spell druid Kazak is normally the tougher of the bunch especially if they can ward out some big minions.

Some matches it varies though because i’ll switch to Tavish and go on the 0 cost companions route which is way more top end damage.Ĭurrently Druid is the tougher match although i prefer beast druid matches since it’s fairly easy to control their board. I can normally squeeze out about 60-70 dmg from my quest hunter all together if need be. However the deck itself is good but if you don’t understand your matches you can easily throw. Games are fast so if you lose it’s a quick game and you go on. I’m not to ashamed to say this is my go to deck for laddering the last 3 months to legend.
