The capacity of this community for whining is incredible. Every playstyle is represented in tier 1 or tier 2. No deck is overpowered relative to the others (see VS winrates for evidence if in doubt). More classes are ladder-viable than have been in over a year.
People whine about Reno being the only viable control deck. Well, at least there are multiple Reno decks. It's much more interesting than when every self-proclaimed control player was just running the most recent Fibonacci Warrior list. Control Warrior doesn't have to be the only way that control is played in the game. And in about three short months, Shaman will get gutted and Reno will disappear. The meta will change dramatically.
We've been in very bad spots in recent months; but are actually pretty good now. Players need to adapt and quit whining when their old favorites can't hack it anymore. If you had told me in winter 2015 that Shaman and Rogue would be tier 1 and Priest would have multiple viable decks at the same time in the future, I would've thought there would be parades in Bed Brode's honor.
I don't really enjoy this meta. I'm looking forward to the next expansion and the rotation of cards out of standard.
Like many have said before, a majority of games are vs. the "Pirate opening" group or vs a Reno deck. Yes they are in different classes, but they don't really play that differently(Kibler mentioned this in his video). To me that isn't very fun.
I'm not salty, I'm not mad, I just don't want to play as much. Which for now is fine.
Personally I think there will be some nerfs of MSG cards at the end of this month, including Small-Time Buccaneer. Even if that makes people mad, at least it would change things up until the next expansion.
I don't even want to watch players on Twitch do ladder except earlier in the month when they experiment more - experimentation with decks is more fun to me than watching the same decks over and over and over...
imho pirate warrior (pw) is highly overrated... it might have some matchups that feel crushingly strong, but aggro shaman shits on PW and so does control shaman/warrior and dragon priest as long as any reno deck with lucky draw. pirate warrior might be common in ranks 15-11 but once you leave that behind, you dont see overwhelmingly many of them...
aggro shaman is a whole different story tho... you almost cant have a bad hand and you dont run out of steam as fast as pw does. still it can be beaten. not by one, but by quite a few other decks. of course it is annoying that laddering from rank 10-5 is 50% shaman matchups, but if you tech accordingly you can reach at least rank 5 with ANY of the current tier 1 or 2 decks and if you get lucky maybe even well optimized tier 3 decks.
and lets be honest, before msg you had to play against shaman every second match too. at least now we have the possibilities to beat shaman with decks that are actually viable too, and way more fun.
every time one of my games goes to fatigue i pity those aggro players that never get to enjoy the fun of a real game, lasting more than 6-10 rounds...
its always the shittiest meta ever, but dont worry, the next one will be shittier and there will be more babyrage then, wohooo!

I also like how people keep listing Patron like it was some sort of cancer, when it was actually one of the most skill-intensive and player defined decks to play. Just shows a sign of the shortsightedness overall.
hasn't every new meta been the worst of all time?

Well I just made it to Rank 6 today from Rank 13! I thought about what a lot of people defending the Meta said here about ADAPT or EXIT, now I play only Pirate Warrior and I've been climbing the ladder quite fast tbh. Thank you for letting me see the light though guys, I am finally a "skilled" player like all of you.
The problem today is that the cancer has no counter. Im not playing standard anymore until changes come but the real problem is wild slowly becoming this standard meta 2.0...
LOL they dont even use DR.Boom in wild now. Who care when you cant live past turn 6
