Hearthpwn

Playing a lot of games and see many druids and warlocks, sometimes rogues, priests, hunters or paladins, but don't see a single warrior or shaman and mage I see only one time.

Too soon to say or this 3 classes are dead until next expansion or nerf (what happens first)?

Even shaman is hell of a deck right now. A lot of people laughed at Arcane Dynamo in the deck, but it actually works pretty well. I've also seen a lot of odd quest warriors, not sure how well they fare against aggro decks because I've only queued into them playing a control deck. As for mage, Aggro mage is doing pretty well too in my opinion. If you get shooting star and any form of spell damage, you can easily clear the board of a zoo deck or odd rogue/paladin.

Honestly as much as people bitch about the current meta, it's pretty healthy and has a lot of variety so far. Maybe druid is a bit too strong with all the combo decks, but all the classes are seeing some success. If you don't trust what I'm saying for whatever reason, you can look at the HCT tournament lists that were posted earlier today. Every class has some deck thats seeing play right now. Whether that be because experimentation or counter picking? I dunno.

I see Even Shamans a lot. There are many Dr. Boom Control Warriors, but you don't see them because they are in Legend.

The good decks are very expensive, and most of them are at rank legend. 

I think all the mage players went to wild, tons of aggro/tempo mage with a few Exodias here and there.

I ran into and farmed 2 warriors and 3 mages at rank 1, so they're hardly dead classes. Tempo mage is quite good at dealing with those slow warlocks. Big mage and control warrior are there to farm board based aggro

Meanwhile, several of the team weiner guys made it to top 10 legend, including a #1, with tempo "good" shaman. Even shaman is tier 1 by winrate according to HSReplay stats. Shudderwok shaman is seeing a bit of tournament play in the ongoing tour stop

If anything, we should be worrying about priest. The overall winrate is abysmal and their statistically best archetype contains no boomsday cards (meaning they got no support from the expansion). Boy am I glad I cut my losses years ago and stopped being a priest main. Blizzard never seems to have a clue how to balance the class

Well ... 

I play Mech Warrior and I reach Rank 1 With it .

  Decent against all  decks in General But you need to Use Azalina in the Right time to counter combo decks . 

The only problem of this deck is the Long Matches because you don't have a Clear Win Condition . 

3 people are sitting in top 25 legend with Evolve Shaman.

Warrior can't beat mecha'thun, so it depends on where that leaves you.  Warrior can absolutely dominate aggro, which generally means it has a place.

Tempo mage is still very much a thing.

So yeah,  bit too soon

Maybe dead is exagerated, but I play 10 times vs many druid decks for each time I play vs mage, something have to be done with druid.

 Warrior can't Beat ( Priest Mecha'thun ) but it can easily beat Druid  Mecha'thun 

I encounter a lot of warriors at rank 3-2 so I would not call them death

Id argue warrior is easily one of the best classes right now with mech, control and fatigue.

Burn mage is better than ever, It got me to rank 9 and I always struggle to beat a good control mage.

Shaman has very powerful even and token decks. 

These decks are either hard to play or expensive, meaning they are only seen in the higher ranks which is probably why you havent seen many, but they are far from dead!

The reason I like this expansion is because every class got their fair share of powerful tools.

I just hit Legend with Mech Warrior today with this deck if anyone interesting 

Try it and if you like it Upvote it :)

In this tavern brawl i've consistenly had 9ish wins with tempo mage.

I don't know about Shaman or Warrior, but my Big Spell Mage still is quite enjoyable.

Then again, I hardly played either Shaman or Warrior before this expansion either, so I might not be the best person to base such generalizations on (which you shouldn't do anyway^^).

Tempo mage just wrecks anything in the ladder, what the hell are you talking about?

Control/Recruit Warrior is a fantastic zoo counter so that alone earns it a place in the meta. People probably don’t like playing it though because it loses out to Mecha’thun decks and Shudderwock (unless you go with the version that uses Azalina). Druid is far too strong this expansion so that factors into it.

the only class that is 'dead' right now is priest... absolutely the worst expansion for priest players (maybe except for omega medic) 

I'm at top 500 Legend on EU, got there mostly with Ctrl Warlock and Zalae's Combo Priest...done a 10-3 Brawl with Priest yesterday too (lost mostly to Odd Rogue if I don't start well, and Aggro Mage, explosive starts with Counterspell thrown in are very hard to beat, like before). Priest is not in a perfect spot, but it can still win (I'm farming Hunters and Warlocks mostly).

Odd Warrior is legit, Even and Midrange Shaman are both solid decks I would argue Mage is the 2nd weakest class overall though after Priest. I mean ofc you can still win with tempo Mage but it's nothing that great in terms of overall winrate.

Shaman may not be popular, but it has strong archetypes.

Warrior needs more refinement, as it is not well-rounded enough against the meta right now. But it's not hopeless.

About Mage, I am pretty sure people are underestimating Handmage, as much as Evenlock was underestimated at first.
