I have played 1500 ranked matches since September, 534 of them have been against Shaman

this is the highest usage % I have faced since undertaker Hunter

It's actually insane how good shaman is atm.

Let my friend (very mediocre player, NEVER plays shaman) play on my account to try out shaman because he didn't think shaman was that strong.

He literally climbed to rank 13 (he's never been above rank 15) without losing once. A player with basically 0 fucking shaman experience and pretty bad game knowledge.

Obviously it's not hard climbing to rank 13 using the best deck in meta, but the fact that he was able to climb so quickly and easily speaks volumes. He probably could have climbed to 5 if I gave him a few hours lol.

Do you have any data on TGT expansion? I'm interested to see how it compares to secret pally.

Secret Paladin wasn't as bad because Control Warrior had a favorable matchup against it as well as Fatigue Mage (duplicate, belchers, etc)

the deck maxed out at a little under 25% at its peak, whereas Shaman is showing upward trends almost up to 35%

insane stats indeed! they gave shaman too many strong cards, and that 1 mana weapon is just stupid... blizzard pls

The data of P4wnyhor was even a little crazier.
He needed about 570 games to get legend.
Shaman rate was over 40% for a long time....it ended up being 38% in the end. 216 out of 57 were shamans.

Knowing Blizzard they'll make it cost 2 mana and no one will ever use it. But they'll make the change 6 months down the road after all the damage is done. They don't know how to balance shit.
