The old CW are my all time favorite deck, now warrior become a braindead pirate smorc or a boring control don't do nothing than play a taunt after taunt after taunt because the reward is so OP make any other control for warrior unplayable.
I have to leave my favorite class because of boredom...
1) Druid - I used to love playing this class, had a lot of fun ramp builds and I loved the Aviana combos, but Jade Idol ruined the control meta, and all the buff minion cards paved way for the brainless token Druid.
2) Mage - Like most, this was my first class that I played and came to understand the game. Mage has always been a fun class, but has become toxic on the ladder as almost every card has random RNG effects. Don't get me wrong, I use to play Casino mage back when Ethereal Conjurer came out and had fun, but when the random RNG effects become so powerfully consistent, it has become annoying to play against.
3) Warrior - It seems this thread has become a Eulogy for the once great but fallen Control Warrior. I remember playing the ladder and I use to see people who played the warrior class as smart players who understood the game (as you have to in order to play control well). This was the major reason I started using all of my dust to craft the necessary cards and learn the strategies, as I wanted to be associated with those intelligent players. Now, whenever I queue up against a warrior, I immediately think brain dead pirate sell-out...and about 80% of the time I'm right. Blizzard, what's the point of a defensive hero power if all you do is ATTACK - GO FACE, FACE, FACE!

hah, basically. Blizzard has methodically disabled the deck since Gadgetzan by not only Jades, but also with Kazakus. they also pushed two archetypes (Pirates and Taunt) so it is clear that this was all an intentional setup to kill the deck with a replacement. Someday they'll finally find a way to get Freeze Mage out of Standard too, since anything that doesn't play on curve seems to bother them too much to let live...

I used to love chtun warrior and control warrior. Now pirate and quest are not appealing at all. I also used to like Reno mage, but now mage is the class i hate the most
I used to like Enrage Warrior decks, but with all he recent meta changes I feel anything other than the norm won;t win. I'm also sad that Best Druid decks don;t seem to be as viable anymore.
Playing Warlock these days makes me sad. It used to be my fav class - especially Zoo. Playing that deck really helped me learn a lot about HS.
Now, Zoo is just terrible, even in Wild. The other day I played a few games of Renolock to finish a quest and it was a miserable experience. I think I went 2 - 7, didn't stand a chance against aggro even when I tech'd for it.
I don't hate Warlock but it's not fun at all to play lately. Needs some serious love from KFT.
I do hate Rexxar though. But that's hardly anything new...
I loved the old Control Warrior. Nowadays I don't even play the class since both viable decks are dumb as bag of potatoes.
2. Warlock
Don't hate it, just sad to see that Control Lock seems to be dead and buried for few next expansions at least. I got golden Lock playing Handlock & Reno variations only, maybe ~10 games played as Zoo.
3. Druid
Never was a fan. So much not a fan - I don't even have the class at lvl60, lol. But this Jade shit gotta stop.
This is easily Priest. GvG was that last time Anduin was remotely fun to play as. Which is what this game is supposed to be, fun, yeah? According to Blizzard anyway. It wasn't a competitive class, I don't think it ever was meant to be since it never has been, so it was the LoLcow of HS. You never felt too bad when you faced Priest RNG, because hey it's Priest, at least let them have that; and it was usually pretty fun to get a goofy Trolden worthy moment with RAnduin shenanigans if you were the Priest.
Now that Priest RNG isn't viable because a) it's not fun RNG b) every class has some kind of BS "can I haz RNG 2?" c) it's no longer to possibly win while just trying to have fun as well.
In a lot of ways Rogue does a lot of the same things now old Priest used to only do, and it does them better than Priest currently, at least to the extent both players could still enjoy the game without feeling like eff that predictable secret agent coming thru 4 times a game.
Well, I have no such classes. I do hate some decks but not a class as a whole. Even if I reduce the strength of the word 'hate' to something more mildly mannered, then I could say Priest or Warrior, but I never liked them to begin with...

Totally agree with OP, exactly my experience.

My top 3 (ordered from least to most hated):

2) Mage - Like most, this was my first class that I played and came to understand the game.
