I am so frustrated. I was rank 4 two weeks ago. I was having very healthy win rate against the meta. I was alternating Zoo, Warrior and Handlock and slowly advancing. I expected to hit a wall at some point, but....
I am now losing 4 out of every 5 games. I have been losing ground steadily for a week and I am now rank 9. Everything has gone hyper-aggro and I can't find a deck that wins in this meta. What am I doing wrong? I feel like I have tried everything. Old decks, new decks, nothing is working. So effing tilted right now.
Yes, it's tough. I've had times like that. I was at 4 a few weeks ago and ended up back at 9. Worked my way back up to 6 with a hunter deck, then dropped to 7. Tried shaman but didn't really move, just stayed at 7. Changed up the Shaman to kelez's build and went back to 5. It's tough. At the end of the season it seems like people play more rush for the final push quickly. Play zoo, but play it better than them and you'll move back up. Then switch back to a control deck once you hit 5-6.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count and those that can't.
Could the problem be that you keep switching decks? After how many games do you switch decks? Are you using a pre-built deck or creating your own? I would suggest picking one deck type, getting advice on using it in the current meta and then sticking with it.
Sounds like you are looking for a magic bullet netdeck to ride to victory. Doesn't work that way. I'd recommend first stopping switching or alternating decks frequently trying to "find" one that works. Pick one you like, get familiar with it and adapt it to the types of decks you are finding yourself matched up against frequently - ask for recommendations and ideas to making it better (make a thread in the class forums). Always be updating that deck to stay current with what you are facing as you become a master with it. You will find success this way.
I was trying to stick to Warrior early in the season. But around rank 6 I just started losing game after game against Zoo decks. I tried tons of variations but nothing seemed to work. So I switched to Zoo, and I was doing really well with that for a long time. But I started getting beaten by all these hyper aggro decks, Mage, Warrior, Hunter. So I have been trying anti-aggro decks and it's been a disaster.
Should I have just stayed with Warrior? Even if I am losing against the popular decks?
Beginning and end of seasons, players push for legendary rank.

If you see a post that you find objectionable, report it, it helps keep the forum clean. But be aware people are allowed a lot of latitude.
If you find my posts to be rude, objectionable, or whatever, well, I got tired of writing polite TL; DR (Too Long, Didn't Read) posts at crybaby whiners. So now I just make it short and nasty.
If you find that funny, well and good. If you find that sad, that's even better.
