Although the introduction of demon hunter made it possible to reach legend in a f2p account easier than ever before, it also creates a problem for new players.

The "early" game ladder (rank 40 chicken) is bloated with demon hunter (I'm talking about 90% of encounters are against demon hunter). Seeing as the core cards for demon hunter are quite stronger than other classes, it creates this situation where it is impossible for a new player to get out of that new player pool unless they also play demon hunter.

Essentially, a new player will hop on a match and face (more or less) the same deck as in the regular ladder which defeats the purpose of a separate ladder.

I think Blizzard should acknowledge that the core set for Demon Hunter is stronger than other classes' and just remove the class from the new player pool.

Interesting idea for sure! I've passed this on to the team. Not sure if this will become a thing or not (just to set expectations accordingly), but definitely an interesting idea! Thanks!
