@rito blizzard is allowing priest to be good in hearthstone

i do,in fact i have a max level Warrior (with Magni) and played in the beta

but i still find your statements flawed

1.Balancing a card game with 9 classes is a WHOLE lot different than a MOBA with 134 champions

2.Its not the champions that are bad,Vlad can still absolutely rekt your day up but in the fact remains that sustain champs just cannot hard carry games,they were never meant to,so your forced to rely on teamates more than say a Malzahar or an Azir would

in hearthstone minions can fight each other unlike magic

Each class gets a hero power, the priests being heal 2 to anything

In the late game, since minions can kill each other the priest kills your minions, and heals his own.

Priest also has cards where they steal your minions /cards

its a very similar situation to how rito feels about sustain

Thanks for explanation .

do you have a citation on this?

i mean... ritos excuse for not keeping them in a good spot are because they're toxic to face and create a very unfun experience to the person on the receiving end

similar to priest

first no they don't. They don't want them to be able to sustain forever and be pretty much unkillable while being able to destroy everything around them. Also a card game logic is not relevant to a MOBA logic they each have their own balancing thing and entire different game pacing as well. Priest wasn't good because his class cards weren't really all that great when you compared it to other classes and his heal is pretty mediocre all things considered. It's a nice "i have nothing better to do with my mana" move but that's pretty much about it since hero powers aren't supposed to be stupidly strong anyways. Vlad and other sustain champions whenever they are strong they shift the meta all by themselves and not in a good way either so if they start getting strong they have to make sure that they aren't going to become a problem and if they are going to become one then they get nerfed.
