I was wondering which class people find the most fun to play in arena. I'm not talking about the best class, just the most entertaining. I considere myself a pretty good arena player, and used to play it only in a very competitive way (because of the rewards, of course :P) picking the top tier classes most of the time, but lately I dedicated myself to just having fun. I usually do very well on this mode and play it a lot, but sometimes I have very bad runs (0-3) like anyone else. Rogue is by far my most succesful class, but it is not the one I enjoy the most (although, it is probably the second one, since I really like it's playstyle and Valeera is very sexy :P). The thing is, I really enjoy playing with druid on this mode, for many reasons, but let's say that the LoE cards with the discover mechanic (especially Raven Idol and the neutral minion Tomb Spider) are a big one.
So guys, which is the most fun arena class for you?
Regarding any meta in arena I enjoy playing Warlock the most because of the playstyle. I like playing with a low curve and flooding the board. Constantly tapping for board control and staying at a low health makes me feel like I'm living on the edge.
In the LOE meta I'm having a lot of fun with Hunter, Druid, and Warrior. Druid because of raven idol and the general flexibility of the class. Hunter because there is a high amount of heavy draft Mages in arena that I can exploit and I like the playstyle of calculating how much burst you have in your hand and deck. I also like Warrior because of weapon value and the comebacks you can make.

Rogue is by far my most fun and most successful class.
Back when I was deck tracking with a few hundred drafts, I kept over 8 average on rogue when my next bast class averaged under 7. I think I like the class because there are so many ways to play it, and it's much more difficult to get a "bad" draft since the rogue hero power is so reliable. As an added bonus, Valeera looks the best and has the best emotes.
Had a shaman draft recently with alakir, doomhammer, and 3 rockbitters. Definitely the most fun I've had in arena in forever. I can just imagine the look on that rogues face when I alakir + 2x rockbitter'd him for 18 damage burst lethal in a game I should have lost.
Mage for me. It's my overall favorite class anyways as I like the playstyle. Tempo Mage is my favorite deck as when it works, everything just clicks. I'm also the weird guy that likes RNG and spells like Arcane Missile or Flamecannon.
I initially was going to pick Rogue as it's my best class and I always enjoy playing it, but recently I've had so much fun playing Warrior. There's something intensely satisfying beating paladins with warrior, a matchup that you are heavily not favored in and feeling the frustration coming out of them when you drop an Obsidian Destroyer to seal out the game. Pally is still a brutal matchup but winning them makes it that much sweeter. Plus Warrior has a great matchup against Mage. There's nothing better than beating top tier pally and mage decks as that's what so many try harders always pick.
Shaman, I find it to have the most variety in archetypes (control/swarm/aggro) and those archetypes feel quite distinct. Shaman probably has the largest variety in card types too (weapons, spells, creatures, etc.). Of course it still sucks lots of the time, but I find it fun :).

Lately, probably Rogue and Mage. Whatever's successful. It'll change with each coming expansion.

Mage; Rogue when I really want wins - although I never seem to be able to pick her

For me - Druid, undoubtely. He's so flexible and fun with all those 'Choose one' cards.
