I'm sure quite a few do, just like some genuinely enjoyed playing facehunter back in it's heyday. Winning, in general, feels good. And who's to say the same people don't also enjoy playing other decks? You don't know their lives, how can you judge? I play a lot of zoo, but my number one most played deck is pre-Standard Mill Rogue - two vastly different decks.
It's neither braindead nor unfun to play as / against it. What else do you want hearthstone to be? "Trading minions" seems like the core concept of the game. It doesn't ignore the board and doesn't just burn you from hand. Zoolock is just efficent at what it does.
I mean the point of a game is to win I suppose so I shouldn't really complain. I just feel that before Old Gods was released there was a lot more variety in the decks that were being played.
Yes, if you value play experience versus simply winning, it's about as boring to play as it gets. Boring to play against as well, since you either easily counter the hand-vomit or you don't - there just aren't interesting play sequences.
I really don't like zoo , but playng an aggro sometims is fine , and if you wanna reach legend fast you have to play a dirty aggro deck.
I mostly play control or fun decks but when i play some games with an aggro then i only like to play with aggro's ahhaha .. maybe is the face hunter player that is in me...
Wow I think you should save some of that salt for your tortilla chips bro haha.
Zoolock is not as easy of deck to play as you think. I actually have been playing various renditions of it for a while now and am still improving as a player. Figuring out whether to drop doomguard and ditch 2 cards to gain tempo/board advantage t5 is a huge decision, mulligans are a huge decision.
If you're going to be mad there are like 5 decks that take way less skill than this deck (Dragon and tempo warrior, aggro shaman, cthun druid). Dragon warrior is especially mindless and is considered the top deck in meta.
I can't wait to play you on ladder and crush you with zoo man.

I personally like playng against zoo, its not an hard matchup except i play aggro . Btw Zoo is a very simply deck to play, you just have to know your opponent deck , do favoorite trades and go face when you have to do it, you can t say its a skilled deck. Zoo is the easiest for new players (even if he doesnt know the cards can do good with zoo) so dont say bullshit please .. Whats your rank zoo player? .. im curius
Btw literally every deck in Hearthstone, ever, is a very simply deck to play, you just have to know your opponent deck , do favoorite trades and go face when you have to do it, you can t say its a skilled deck.
FTFY
No seriously. Soccer is such an easy game, you just have to score a lot of goals.
Notes: This kind of language will not be tolerated, especially when directed at other forum members. The offending text has been removed.
But to answer your question, Yes, I feel good playing and winning with any deck, period.
Doesn't matter if it's Zoolock, Face, Secret, Deathrattle, Combo, Control... Whatever deck is needed to win, that's what I'll play.
Doesn't matter if it feels cheap / broken / mindless to play to you. Doesn't matter if you rage quit or spam emotes or cry on the forums. I don't care about your feelings. I just enjoy winning.
I don't really enjoy it much, but I don't hate it. Zoo is a strong deck and will probably always be a strong deck. I don't consider it an aggressive deck though, more board control then (often times) silly combo finisher which can increase the sodium levels. Such as life though.
Yes, it does require a modicum of skill but isn't really the hardest of decks to pilot and is great to learn the game (basic trading versus going face and such decisions).
I find control decks the most mindless to pilot though - unless it's a control mirror, then often times it just comes down to RNG from who draws what first or if both are running Elise, then it comes down to Monkey RNG and that I think is the single MOST frustrating fashion to lose a game in hearthstone (with amazing Yogg'Saron turns coming in a very close second).
Just my 2 copper though.

I know, I like playing Control Warrior (and Priest/Renolock although the latter 2 are very weak right now imo).
I just think that people need to understand Hearthstone would be boring if only 1 archetype existed. They also tend to remember the times they lost in spectacularly (bad) fashion and don't remember when they pulled out those 1 HP wins when you're waiting to see if your opponent top decked lethal or some such scenario.

Just an honest question... Most mindless deck to play and it's honestly getting ridiculous on the ladder
Feels great, it isnt mindless. It has around 50% vs all other decks, the only rng in zoolock is knife/flame juggler, so little rng=skill.
Better than turn 8 hunter imo.

I wouldnt say zoo is a mindless deck. Positioning and sequence of play etc matters a lot, #justsayin

I use Zoolock to reach legend because it is the most broken consistent deck. I don't enjoy winning with it. I don't enjoy playing against it.
Playing Tier 1 deck is like picking Ferrari to race vs Ford Focus. It's pleasure to win for a couple of times, but then it's getting dumb.
You are playing overpowered cards that feels like cheating. So very decent player can easily beat better one just because he has ridiculous tools.
Such things are provided by developers and it makes me sad.
I don't feel good playing it or against it, winning feels cheap af most of the time, but it's the most consistent deck out there so it is what it is.
There's an inherent bias in your question, OP.

"I've never played zoolock because it's mindless bullshit."
Try playing it mindlessly and report back how you do.

I feel good winning as Zoolock. But usually I don't play it because it's incredibly boring.

The old zoolock with Voidcaller, Void Terror and Nerubian Egg was more fun than the new tentacle/darkshire zoo. Which is why I play wild now.
Also stop whining on forums.
