Aggro decks have always been too powerful in Hearthstone, and it hurts the game over all. A good meta should have aggro, but they should never be more than a Tier 3 deck at best in my eyes. At the least, aggro decks should not be that strong like they are in this game.
I think Control Warlock does well against aggro tho?
Very flawed logic imo.
Specific classes (Cuz reasons or at least very lopsided class identity logic) are intentionally designed during almost every meta to be pigeonholed into playstyles that are not control.
Take a look at rogue for example. Look at all of their class cards for the last 6 or so expansions. See any control cards that were consistent enough to compete with the snooze circle jerk fest of lock/priest/mage/warrior?
Let's look at paladin, shaman, & druid then shall we? What control cards created standard control decks (IE non-otk control decks) that could compete with warlock/priest/mage/warrior?
I'll let the pitfalls of T5's extremely limited class identity black hole sink in for a moment.
Okay, now that we've established that roughly half of the classes are generally intentionally steered away from control playstyles what other playstyles are classes like rogue 'supposed to' play then?
If you say aggro or midrange, and your opinion is that those playstyles should be tier 3ish, or not tier 1, then you're more or less saying that classes that are intentionally starved of control elements should purposefully made inferior to the 'circle jerk 4' of HS then.
Resurrecting almost 1.5 year old thread that complains about meta can lead to very misleading situations (if someone actually bothers to read the older posts) so let's not do that. If you want to talk about how the newly-forming meta looks like, please make a new thread instead.

Some Hearthpwn Priest casted Mass Ressurrection and this thread come out.
If you're talking about Wild, I don't see why anyone would care. If you can't beat aggro in wild then you're too greedy.
Play Standard and then we can talk
As for Standard, Aggro is not an issue. Healing is. Figure out how to heal/armor then you can sustain.
So glad there are no DK's to hide behind any longer. Those cards ruined the game experience. It's so much better without them.
This is the only time when I can play my Whizbang and I love it!
