I added as much cards in poll as I remembered so if I missed any feel free to add it in comments and I'll update the poll.
Edit: just to clear some things up. Cards in the list are all before they got nerfed. For example: when Undertaker got +1/+1 each time and when Rogue Quest was 4 minions. 4 mana Leeroy is not counting since it was in beta.
Well this thread seems like it’s 90 % new players.
Jade Idol, Caverns Below, DK Anduin and Ultimate Infestation is NOTHING compared to Undertaker Hunter back when Naxx came out.
And before that Leeroy was a 5 mana monster.
You have to take in consideration that Undertaker was nerfed, while Jade Idol not.
Luckily we’re not discussing how hated a card is now but how hated a card was when it was most hated.
Undertaker was nerfed because it was oppressive in a way Jade Idol never experienced. There’s a reason why Jade Idol didn’t get nerfed and Undertaker did.

Actually, we are discussing both. The OP posed both questions.

Undertaker was hated for a much shorter period of time than Jade Idol (a card that many people, including myself, continue hating), and so, Jade Idol is a much more bigger offense to players in general than pre-nerf Undertaker. And the reason why Jade Idol didn't get nerfed is because Team 5 is to arrogant to admit that printing such a controversial card was a terrible mistake.
Flamewaker is the right answer - for longevity (in wild anyways) and relative unchecked power level. Even now after all this power creep he still enables tempo mage to do bonkers stuff. Granted, tempo mage isn't that much of the wild meta ATM, but even last week I still got pwned by an insane perfectly curved worm-apprentice-spells-flamewaker-more-spells starter that was impossible to recover from.
Yes Undertaker was nerfed and Jade Idol wasn’t nerfed because Team 5 is arrogant..right.
Or maybe because Undertaker was far, far stronger than Jade Idol ever was. Undertaker could win turn 3 and do it quite consistently.
Dude, do you realise Blizzard nerfed many cards much more less problematic than Jade Idol? They don't want to nerf it because they don't want to admit their terrible mistake, that is all.
Aggro decks always are problems but this little bastard make decks like PW and token druid kill in turn 4 or 5 a normal situation.
Don't be nerfed after become clear is broken and overused, even no weapon class run this son of a bitch, make me asking myself why Blade Flurry or even Hex was nerfed.
reno sucks. Made me quit the game for a couple months. I mean i guess i deserved it for playing face hunter but omg i just hate when they get healed from 1 to 30 and your opponent hits you with greetings

Do you have a link with a proof? Or a source?
Or is it just a guess?
As you can guess I do not agree. Jade Idol isn’t really a problem compared to 5 mana Sylvanas, pre-Nerf Undertaker or 4 mana Leeroy.
UI isn't bad tbh, it's not massively better than Auctioneer in Jade Druid and it's nice to see an alternative to it, people would moan about Auctioneer if UI wasn't a card. Tunnel Trogg can rot in hell, Patches is fine when not in pirate warrior although starting to get old which is good because it rotates soon, I play it a lot btw. Jade Idol is fine because it keeps control decks in check and gives aggro a purpose, some of the feelbad cards aren't usually the ones that are the reason you lose.
What is the card that you hate or hated the most?

Jade Idol. A card like that should have never existed.
Someone thought Small-Time Buccaneer and Caverns Below deserve to be "most hated"? LOL! Glad to see you started with the most obvious ones.

Flamewaker is god of the rares.
People finally forgot about Dr. Boom . Good job Blizzard !

Patches by far.

I absolutely hate Bloodlust. A card that basically gives your opponent 20 extra damage in order to kill you isn't a very fun card to play against.
Fuck you Drakonid Operative may you rot in hell!
Bitch i'm Willy Wonka!
