Lets see. They released a 4 mana 7/7. Seems pretty normal, will be never used in aggro decks.
Playing since 1 June 2014.

Yup, because you can't react in time, opponent is suddenly mindless.
Who's more mindless, the one you called mindless or you, who lost to someone you called mindless.

Aggro decks are always gonna be a thing because at least 70% of the players have no dust to build a control deck.
If aggro was ever dead then nobody else would be able to hop in and start playing the game.
It would make the game trully pay to win because you would need 5000 dust just to start playing the game with a sub-par deck.
Aggro will always exist and will always be at least 50% of the meta.
In these kind of threads I will just copy paste this response that I wrote in another thread:
(TLDR at bottom)
Aggro decks exist because:
-They keep new players
New players don't have very much dust, and so the best deck that they can use is an aggro deck. If a new player plays an aggro deck, they can get high in rank to get more cards and eventually have more choice. If aggro decks didn't exist, most new players would quit because they couldn't win
-They keep the meta in balance
Without aggro, everyone would be trying to create the greediest control deck possible. I would rather have a diverse meta with aggro decks, combo, midrange, and control, than have a meta full of very late game control decks where each match takes 45 minutes. The truth is, without aggro decks, the meta would be even worse, and if you didn't have the cards for a late game control deck? Too bad. You can't be good at the game because you will just get crushed by greedy control decks.
-They force people to think while creating new decks
This slightly fits in with the last point, but is slightly different. Aggro decks require you to tune your deck to beat them, tune them to be more consistent. Overall, aggro being in the game will help new players gain vital deckbuilding skills. People win more with custom decks, why? Well, with aggro in the game you can't just make a greedy, cheesy combo deck and expect it to work, you need to tweak the deck to be able to counter aggro, and by making the deck better against aggro, you also increase the consistency of the deck, making it better in all matchups.
-Games are short
Most hearthstone players play in short sessions, fitting in games at work, school, or before certain activities. Aggro decks have very short games which let people get in more games. If there were no aggro decks, people who can't play for long sessions would play less because control decks generally have very long games. Also, because the games are faster, you rank up faster, complete quests faster, and earn gold faster. This is appealing to people who want to progress faster and get more cards.
-Aggro is more consistent
I know from experience, hearthstone players HATE when they don't draw what they need in their opening hand. But if everything in your deck does roughly the same thing, and you have a low curve, the deck is much more consistant. Because of this, it is more enjoyable to play for most players, because you don't ever feel helpless due to your opening hand.
-Aggro can get free wins
Another nice thing that people like about aggro decks, is there ability to pull out quick, free wins due to your opponents opening hand. Due to the speed of aggro decks, your opponent only has a certain amount of turns to draw what they need to counter you. If you are playing a control deck, your opponents hand doesn't matter very much because they will have plenty of time to draw into what they need.
-Aggro minimalizes tilt
Due to short games, your opponent has less chances to get lucky, making you tilt less. Also, because of consistent games, free wins to lower chances of losing streaks, and short games, you get much less angry at the game with aggro decks. Even if you lose, you didn't invest much time into the game and you can go on to the next. Because of lower tilt levels, you will make less misplays, increasing your winrate.
-Aggro is easier to play
Due to the lack of situational cards, or complex combos, aggro is easier to play/learn. This DOES NOT mean they are totally brainless, and still require quite a bit of skill to play correctly, but they are easier to learn and be good at then many other decks.
So in conclusion, aggro decks are not broken in any way, and the fact that you see lots on the ladder isn't just a coincidence. You need to stop raging at them and take a long look at your decklists, see what is causing you to loose against aggro decks. Is your deck inconsistant? Is it too greedy? Is it not good in the current meta?
Taking aggro out of the game would hurt hearthstone alot, and blizzard will never do it, so don't complain.
[b]TLDR: Aggro decks are fine for the game, good for new players, have many aspects that are appealing for most players, and are healthy for the meta.[/b]
People who refuses to play aggro out of principle are even worse than people who play exclusively aggro.
One should seek to become a complete player and play all archetypes, including ones that he despises for whatever irrational reasons.
Here's why aggro is still relevant:
Player A loses one game out of 20, to a deck that isn't actually an aggro deck.
Player A complain about aggro on the Internet.
Players B through Z6 read these complaints, and realize "hey, I should play aggro and score some wins!"
The more you guys complain, the more aggro there will be, just saying.

I started again last week, and the game feels even worse than it was before. Not sure what was supposed to be accomplished by the latest changes, but combo druid is now miracle rogue, secret paladin is aggro shaman, zoo lock is still zoo lock, and if I do get matched against something not one of those it's some uninteractive piece of crap like freeze mage or face hunter. They could have made some solid new legendaries to build decks around, but they went for C'thun and Yogg instead, both of which are awful concepts as far as I'm concerned. Kudos to anyone enjoying the game, but I won't be joining you.
I crafted and played N'Zoth Paladin, it's a great deck, very strong.. but each game takes 20 mins+ to play.... I don't have time for that shit! So back to mid-range for me. Aggro happens for the same reason.
