I have never experienced such a horrible time playing HS but today has been extra sh*t. I haven't played a single game where my opponent wasn't playing aggro. It just isn't any fun tonight. Tomorrow will be better, but don't get a bad taste (salt) in your mouth like I have...
When KaC gets released I'd recommend putting in some extra anti aggro cards whenever a new expansion hits people love to play aggro in the hope to get to legend by beating all the people trying out cool new deck ideas
Fun fact: There's almost no aggro in the meta at the moment. Keleseth Rogue isn't aggro. Zoo isn't aggro. Maybe some variants of Hunter might be and Pirate Warrior but have you really seen a lot of those? I don't think so.
Real truth: people on hearthpwn think midrange decks are aggro and aggro is skillless cancer. Coming from the people who can't reach legend.
I'm gonna do some dungeons before going on the ladder the first days. That way the meta will settle and I'll know what are the best cards to craft/have

Aggro is pretty much skillless cancer. That's not something inherently wrong with the archetype, that's Blizzards fault.
And both keleseth and zoo are borderline aggro, althought granted: to play them well you need some degree of skill (keleseth more than zoo)
You might be able to argue Zoo is midrange, but Tempo Rogue is an aggro deck. It has mediocre card advantage, requires early pushes and cheap removal designed to keep board. Just because you don't go face every attack doesn't mean its not an aggro deck, neither does including a seven drop.

Sure, whatever you say. That decks are just slower aggro, and really, really far from what a control deck is. I like to call them mid-aggro, cause i feel that people calling that decks mid-range is not fair at all. It's like when people call Hunter mid-range... so it has to be "face hunter" to deserve calling it aggro? ...

You confuse me very much sir. Very much. You have 3k posts here, you've been a member since 2015 and have lots of medals. This means you've been playing the game for a long while. And yet, your statement is something i'd expect to hear from a kid who started playing the game a couple of months ago and feels sad it's precious deck loses. No offence but seriously, how can you even say that?!
First of all and hopefully to end this ******** arguement, aggro decks are not "blizzard's fault" and neither a problematic archetype. Aggro decks have been part of TCG and CCG since their birth. MtG which is the father of this kind of games has had aggro decks since day 1. No, it's not a stupid way to play, it's just another way to play. You consider yourself a smart guy for playing control decks? This is downright cringeworthy. Anyone can play anything after he netdecks it and practices with it. You think Razakus or Jade Druid or Mill Warrior are mentally challenging? Really? OK.
Second of all, HearthStone is P2W for most people, no matter how hard you guys try to deny it. If you have any responsibilities, you can't afford to tirelessly grind the game daily just for a CHANCE to open something you like. Sometimes you get lucky but, it's never enough to build some of the heavy-weight control decks you consider to be "for smart players only". Therefore, you need to pay, and even then, you are not guaranteed shit, you are just making your chances a little better. Without aggro in the game, HearthStone loses it's bulk of f2p players. Without aggro in the game, there is no game.
And when it comes to what is trully cancer, aggro beats you up ideally by turn 5-6 or it lost, which means you either lose fast and get to play another game or win. It's also countered by lots of tech cards, depending the deck. On the other hand, decks like Razakus, Jade etc. have ZERO interaction with the enemy and take an age. You basically have to sit there and watch your opponent slowly moving towards the win without interacting at all. But hey, that's the fun of the game right? Not some aggro deck lulz.
Get your thoughts together and think for yourself instead of copy-pasting noob theories. With all that time on your back you should be above that....
This guy is damn right, but forgot to mention that big priest and quest mage are really a lot "interactive" too.
Its going to be aggro cancer all night, then people will experiment for a day, then go back to play braindead aggro netdecks all over again. That is basically Hearthstone.

Just go full Questard Warrior and shimmy up the ladder. EZ-Life
Not new ! The meta is already boring for a long time. Aggro, Aggro, aggro...!^^
the meta in one line: turn 2 keleseth shadowstep; turn 4 kazakus; turn 5 raza; turn 8 anduin; turn 10 ultimate infestation.
Best quotes:
"Casual is perfectly fine"
"warlock is not overpowered"
"Playing odd paladin just to test it"

Can we swap places? All I met were priests. Atleast aggro is somewhat counterable
Fuck cubelock
I think you mean turn 5 ultimate infestation
Fuck cubelock
Face and aggro are different things.

Ladder tonight = "I'm in charrrge"
Yeah, The Lich King, Saronite Chain Gang and Cairne Bloodhoof (staple rogue cards) just scream ME AGRO at you, yeap.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When you're facing only the same decks, you adapt and tech against them.
Some decks, such as Razakus Priest, are hard to counter, but teching against aggro is pretty easy.
K&C looks pretty anti aggro to me. We got many anti aggro cards and most Legendarys are more midrange-controlish.
