This season, I played totem shaman from 11 to 2, then fell to 5 in a horrible loss streak. Used everything I had on a pretty standard CW, no missing cards, managed to get back to 4, then fell to 5 again.
Now I'm switching back and forth between totem shammy and cw, based on the amount of zoo(totem shammy gets overwhelmed way too easy in my opinion) I encounter. Been grinding for 2 days non-stop, I'm still at 5.
I did try to tech things up, tested my decks throughly, I simply cannot get past %50 win rate. So I will try to summarize the meta I have been encountering in order to ask your advice.
I might switch to Mid-Range Hunter, haven't tried it yet.
Problem with mid-range shammy in these ranks is that the amount of zoo, mirrors and tempo warriors encountered render the deck incapable of smooth gameplay. The role that the opponent's RNG plays increases dramatically, and while shammies can of course win against all these "counters" often enough, that roughly equals to around %50 win rate, making the climb quite nightmarish.
Quote from Mister_Smith>>Strictly based on the matchups that seem to be common for you a simple Zoo deck would appear to be extremely efficent to ladder with, it's kind of mediocre against Tempo Warrior but basically stomps any Midrange deck with a decent win rate against Aggro Shaman and Miracle Rogue, it's also easy to play and cheap so trying it out won't hurt either.
That did cross my mind, been tring to avoid playing zoo, might have to.
Hey there guys,

From 1 to 20:
4 Mid-Range Shammies, 3 Tempo Warriors, 3 Zoolocks, 2 Control Warriors, 2 Mid-Range Hunters, 2 Aggro Shammies, 1 Pirate Warrior, 1 Miracle Rogue, 1 Dragon/Control Priest, 1 N'zoth Paladin.
What deck would you recommend to face these?
mid range shammy is fine,
those are my stats from rank 11 to rank 5
I'm not gonna climb to legend tho, but im pretty fucking sure that one can easily climb to legend with this deck, even if there are many zoo decks
