I am curious to hear about your experience of queueing into other decks on ladder. I personally have experienced mostly unfavored matchups against my decks. It is really funny how I pick control warlock and I am facing Hadronox Druid, or Mind blast Priest instantly. Then I switch to Odd Rogue and have two paladins in a row and this is happening more than 60% of the time. (Rank 1).

Looks like it's working fine, you're facing mostly unfavored opponents, yet you're rank 1 so those matchup are not unfavored as you describe them if you can maintain ~50% winrate.
That is just bad luck. I have heard of people teaching in Tinkmaster Overspark to put a beast in the Hadronox pool as a counter. Doesn't seem that great but might cheese you out a win or two. The best thing to do is a find a card that gives you an advantage in your bad match ups and tech for them.
Idk about unfavored matchups, but i ran into several legend players at rank 5 today.
It just feels bad if you face two Even pallies in a row and you decide to take warlock to deal with that aggro and they give you mind blast Priest or Taunt Druid. Then you feel like it is rigged or something.

I understand the logic that everyone plays competitive decks and such but the fact that when instachange your deck to tackle the one you just faced and they give you another unfavored matchup... Idk how I feel about that.
I've played this game for years and at times I still feel like the ladder queue deliberately counters the deck I'm running. However, those unlucky streaks are simply more memorable than the win streaks. How many extra stars did you get in comparison to those loss streaks? :)
I feel your pain though, I have gone 0-6 (always one win away from rank floor too, mind you) against the same damn deck that counters me, switched decks to counter them, and go 0-3 against a completely different deck that eats my lunch just the same, do the same in Wild, proceed to baby rage and not play for a day or so. It happens... although I feel like it happens WAY too often to me. I've never been lucky in anything though, so whatever. I always get within 10 packs of pity timer, idk what all this average 1 in 20 packs people get, but definitely not me (yes, I do keep track, I am SUPER unlucky). Been playing since pre-Naxx and I've opened exactly 1 golden Legendary. I could go on.
I'd like to believe it's as random as they say, but the odds definitely seem against me. The question is the motive though, why would they rig the ladder? It doesn't make them more money, so there's no reason to implement such methods.

Think global. Your bad matchup ist good for the other player. It is a zero sum game, you win some, you lose some. Due to human nature, you remember the bad streaks better.
It is still frustrating to constantly miss the safe rank, we all have been there. :)

I had the same thing happen. I’m currently rank 4 and played against 4-5 legend ranked players. I know that a friend of mine also experienced this yesterday.

I wish I could hook every "blizzard is intentionally putting me into bad matchups" thread directly into my veins. They nourish and sustain me.
Lul, what is that you just puked? I was asking how frequently you end up playing unfavored matchups and that is it. I did not whine something is not right for me.

Maintaining an even or a positive winrate against the unfavoured match ups is the proof of skill mate. Everyone can win favourabe match ups lol.

I thought I was the only one. And they aren't "low rank" (rank 10k and such) It's always 6k or higher. Weird..
There is no pb in the system : you see it from your point of view, but your opponents get an easy matchup each time you get a bad one...
That seams balenced ^^
There is no cancer deck in hearthstone ! You are the Cancer !
