Golden Age of Dwarves
I gave a break around ten days or so to not to lose my love for the game and wait for bugfixes and hopefully balance to bs level dorf deck. Apparently it's not gonna happen until next month (don't fell like calling them seasons tbh. 2 month was optimal 1 month is too short)
Netdeckers and popularity/win rate ratio have been discussed many many times here so I won't even bother that discussion. Netdeckers are inevitable and popularity comes and goes. That's OK.
BUT
If your game has a deck that with 40% POPULARITY and 53% WIN RATE for a LONG TIME, it's obvious that something amiss (Imlerith voice here). It's not a recent problem as this has been like this with every single patch. Fix one to break all others... (Eithne, Dagon, Bran, Emhyr once in a while, Henselt and now our new favorite Brouver the former Hoog striped of his surname because of reasons undisclosed)
CDPR I'm calling you. Unless you find solution to this balance problem which happens with every patch:
"Just tech against it". I shouldn't. If the deck I crafted has around 40% WR for the meta popular deck and 60% WR against all others, I consider myself a better player and won't thrash my deck just to counter Dwarves. I wanna rank up with the strategy I created yet there is no way because literally at least 4 out of 10 decks is the broken one.
Your bona fides is unquestionable. You are trying is to fix one thing while not breaking two instead but there is something wrong with your approach and it's not working. I'm a lawyer. I can go on for hours and hours and say nothing of value just to cloud your mind but this is not one of those times guys.
Seriously.

CDPR I'm calling you. Unless you find solution to this balance problem which happens with every patch:
- Nobody will care about upcoming game mode where allegedly "Create" shines and you are rightfully excited about (I don't know about reddit but surely can't see hype here)
- Most people will restraint from spending money because more cards=/=diversity or fun. Just get the 25 cards some streamer using and be done with it.
- Some devoted players like me (1000+ hours and tens of thousand of matches) will not want to double-click on that Gwent icon on the desktop because they know that at least 4 out of 10 games will be against a predictable and nobrainer deck. I'm not a bot. I don't want to play the same pattern over and over again if it's punishing. I love grinding in most games but this is not even grinding.
- "Brainstormers" won't even bother with constructive critism because it's never taken into consideration. They will whine and cry (like this thread) and just shout "DO SOMETHING".
