If you want to play control go to wild casual.
I like to make cards and discuss game balance.
I enjoy when "No similar decks were found."
My latest deck: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1366184-scholomance-charge-rez-priest-wild
Having a good time with the meta.
Control is dead yes. It's one reason I've decided to quit HS for a while. Might even quit for good if they don't do something for the next exp pack.
Can you name a single neutral response to aggro that costs less than 4 mana? Doomsayer? That's like 1 card.
...There is just no way that happens...
(It happens)
From where I'm standing it just looks like people calling the decks they don't like or that hard counters there preferential deck or archetype
at the end of the day this can be stripped down to a rock, paper scissors base. No one deck should not have hard counters.
also the way a meta works is, people play something that has as little counters as possible, then people counter that deck, then people counter that deck, then people counter that deck and so on. You are always going to get newer decks that ruin older archetypes and the way to destroy a control deck is to be too fast for them to get to do what they need to do... this is the very essence of meta and how it will always be... people are just trying to counter what is beating them, the results are not the fault of any one deck archetype as far as I can see, it's just how the game has naturally evolved given the tools the community have available in any given time period.
I've only been playing the game a month, and this is pretty much where I have landed on the whole "agro vs control" argument.
I am in my 30's, so maybe I have a better time grasping the larger picture... but seriously though, you guys are directing the energy in the wrong places, instead of quitting the game, just learn to counter what you don't like.. maybe that can't be done with control decks in standard because it's evolved to kill control decks.... you can always play control in wild if that's your bag, and when you get to higher ranks there are more control vs control master battles going on so I hear, so just use a deck that can get you to this place and switch back.
I certainly wouldn't quit the game because an archetype has been hard countered due to the evolution of the game.
besides, there are still at least 4 extremely viable control decks right now!
Skill is just being able to play a deck well.
natural ability can determine how far you will go in said field though.. I think probably the best hearthstone players have an affinity towards numbers and or chess players. Being able to out think in terms of moves ahead and tactics are key, as well as being able to do the maths.. I'm pretty bad at maths really as I have a form of dyslexia, I really have to count properly when playing a combo deck, that's why I think they are the most skillful decks, if you get your maths wrong or you forget one piece of a combo you just lost the game... all other archetypes allow for some amount of error where as the worgen combo must always be right.

PremiumCongrats, you would make a new news poster with that click bait title.
Anyway, obviously the control decks will stay but how effective they will be in the coming years is a big question.
I don't even know what a control player is. Who are these people who only play 1 kind of deck? That's weird as hell.
Well. The next shaman control is going to be spell power shaman, running all the aoes, with a zeus shaman "core" most likely. Thal, azure, and maybe one other minon with spell damage is all its going to need to work, and we get our own "war axe" with the spirit claws for single target removal and early game control. If you remember, the idea for a burn control is to build up to a lethal with from hand damage while making value plays and staying out of range. The core concept will work. Just needs non spell win condition.
Hell. I could see cthuun power shaman. With the panda, chosen and emperor 7 kit.
