Yeah, the meta is quite nice actually. Although I'd prefer a tad slower one, but I don't mind it at all.
meta is fast and aggro friendly, players who like this and like to play aggro don't see any problems there...we have already seen renopriest and jade druid fall od the meta because of the fast decks...had fun matchups mostly with renomage and mostly in casual, in ladder you are forced to play fast decks or renolock to be able to do something...
Healthy?
Rouge: Aggro or Miracle
Druid: Jade
Warrior: Aggro
Warlock: Reno
Priest: maybe Reno or Dragon
Hunter: nope
Paladin: nope
Mage: Reno loses to Warlock so also nope
Shaman: Jade/Midrange
In the end Control Warrior is dead, Tempo Mage is dead, the last Paladins and Hunters are dead, just Jade Druid is playable and Warlock is also just Reno now... Thats not healthy! New deck yes but we have the same deck over and over.
"... but not less than (1)" is needed now more than ever!
meta is actually garbage. you have two choices - aggro face bullshit or reno. flip a coin - if you draw reno you win, if not you don't. probably the worst meta ive ever seen. alternately, jade druid which is unbeatable.
Kaladin's RoS Set Review
Join me at Out of Cards!
The only part of the metagame that I am worried about is the state of Paladin and Hunter.
Paladin has had a rough go for a few months. Although I think handbuff was the worst of the 3 gang mechanics, I think the "buff all" mechanic in Paladin is the strongest. But we haven't figured out how to best use these tools yet.
Hunter on the other hand apparently got much weaker tools than we realized. The monsters seemed the best, but the buffs the monsters need appear to be the worst. I think there would need to be a legitimate metagame shift for hunter to find a place.
Some class needs to be the worst, but Hunter at the moment feels like old priest. Almost unplayable.
Depends how you define healthy.
Like... for example you have one Legendary that's used in just about every aggro deck including Miracle Rogue. The only way to play control is to use Reno variants. This is much less flexible than the Old Gods meta where there were Nzoth paladins, Cthun classes, Reno, Yogg decks. For aggro there were aggro shaman and zoo, which are classes focused on early board control before smorc. Now we have "top" builds that absolutely don't care about board control whatsoever (which is completely contradictory to HS's overall philosophy that Blizzard's been trying to create).
So... healthy? Sure? I guess?

The OP plays pirate warrior obviously. He thinks hand buff paladin is a good deck too... hand buff paladin is one of the worst decks ever made. It's for new players who say omg my cool Ragnaros Lightlord I opened is a 12/12 now, that's insane, not understanding that a 12/12 is usually pretty awful and two azure drakes are better vs almost anyone.
Wow, so many QQers out there. This is a much better meta than any point post-WoG. There is a full diversity of viable archetypes and a reasonable diversity of class representation (sorry Paladin and Hunter...).
The existence of aggro for the first time since the ONiK balance changes is what has made this possible - it gives control a winnable match-up while suppressing Shaman, which would otherwise still be strangling the meta.
All of the whiners can keep going on about "braindead" "cancer" aggro, although they would be better served by learning to play.
Hahahha healthy... Only if you are loser playing one of cancers

Who's the Beatdown?
Patches might have been too strong, though I'm less annoyed at his power level than how the Pirate package finds its way into random lists (like Miracle Rogue). Overall I think if either that or Small-time Buccaneer gets nerfed, that would ultimately be the reason why.
Jade Druid is basically still the most overrated deck on Hearthpwn, and odds are will be a tiny portion of the meta. The "infinite value" is absolutely not gamebreaking, because anything resembling early pressure just causes them to fold; it certainly will remain pretty favored against most Control decks, but even then it's no more a hard counter than Control Warrior was to Midrange Shaman (which was 60/40 I believe). If all you're trying to do is out-value your opponent you'll lose, but most Control decks have a way to apply pressure over the course of the game.

This game will never be healthy as long curve stone exists 24/7. Paches would be balanced if you not created small-time bucaneer. To bad Blizzard had to make it OP as fuck.
And renolock is only a tier 2 deck don't talk like it is a tier one deck
I agree that the meta is very healthy, and would also add control Warrior to the control list. It isn't getting much attention, because most people are obsessed with pirate Warrior, but I consider it a tier 1 or 2 deck right now. There isn't a bad matchup.
For fuck sake Meta is still shit even worse than before
