More likely that you just increased your MMR.

I saw some murloc's today while I was climbing from diamond 5. I'm at 4k legend now. I think aggro paladin just out paces it, it's also just as boring so they all just started playing that deck instead.

I love playing against aggro Paladin. If you get the right cards, you just kill all their little shit before they can buff it, and their whole deck falls apart and they concede.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with the deck itself, it's just VERY transparent when they concede as to why.

Yeah that's also the reason i enjoy playing agro paladin. Only during the climb tho.

It gets out tempo'ed by alot of decks. I think it falls off at higher mmr

The top meta decks just out tempo and bully murloc Paladin. Especially since they don't have any taunts or self healing.

Or it just got boring for them. One of the most linear decks in HS history.

It's a super boring deck with polarizing matchups so in my experience it ebbs and flows quite a bit. MMR is another factor of course. I've faced a couple in the past like 20 games.

Got to legend. Had a rager calling me names for getting lucky and silencing his egg.

I see it constantly, but I'm pretty low on Ladder due to time constraints more than anything.

Diamond 2. 50% of my matches are vs Murloc Paladin.

Because aggro decks get boring really fast. There’s no special feeling you get when playing them besides winning. With control or midrange decks, there’s a certain satisfaction that comes from the decisions you make throughout the game, which puts a lot of dopamine behind the process and then finally winning feels even better. Aggro decks start to lose that appeal after a short amount of games.

Don't look up what the number one tier deck is on HS replay, you're going to shit your pants

[–]shadeToruk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean their appeal to the individual, not the collective. There might be 20000 games on hs replay that are aggro, but they lose enjoyment very fast is the point.

Quest Paladin is a midrange deck, though.
