I think many are cynical about the aggro-midrange distinction because at first the difference in "midrange" hunter was to just throw in a Savannah Highmane. besides that they *were* basically the same deck.
So the difference is between hyper aggression and aggression, and maybe one wins a turn or two earlier than the other. Not really a substantial difference IMO.
Your statement isn't really anything new, people haven't been fond of aggro decks since the dawn of hearthstone.
RIP yogg-saron good things don't last forever :(
The old Face Hunter deck from last year?
Aggro is not the problem for me. Yogg is. Aggro will lose when they lose the board but midrange is a different story sometimes.
To be Honest if Expensive 7+mana cards had the same power level of the low costed cards then there wouldn't be any problem of control vs Aggro but as long as aggro keeps getting Tunnel Trogg, Flamewreathed Faceless, Tuskarr Totemic Maelstrom Portal and the such while contro gets Avian Watcher and the such then the game is heavily favoring aggro,and much as people hate Yogg-Saron hope's end those are the types of expensive cards control needs, and i don't mean rng-wise, i mean expenive cards, with an amazing ability to instantly turn games in your favor as long as you could survive to that turn, that's kind of the reason why i findN'zoth the corruptor to be so bad and gimmicky in non-paladin classes, because if i'm not bringing Tirion Fordring back from the death, i play n'zoth and just die the following turn.
Have you ever heard about midrange and control Shamans? Go check weekly reports. Every single week amount of Aggro Shaman wasn't even close to 29%. 31.08-6.09 - 8%. 24.08-30.08 - 11%. 17.08-23.08 - 9%. 10.08-17.08 - 7%. Last 24 hours is less informative than last month for obvious reasons. Yes, midrange decks are flexible and play control against aggro and aggro against control, so if you play only control decks of course you don't know what's the difference. Zoolock was a midrange deck and may shift to midrange again later, but you will never notice, because for you every not anti-tempo deck is aggro.
English is not my native language, so, with a high probability, mistakes were made.
I swear that this website only has threads of people complaining now and days.
Is it so hard to believe/accept that it's not Aggro decks that dominate nowadays? Yes, it's actually Aggro-Midrange hybrids that dominate. Decks that don't need to kill you before Turn 6 to win, but which are capable of doing so if they draw perfectly. If not, they have enough reach to survive past Turn 10 (but not TOO far, they all run out of gas eventually).
This is why you think Control gets slaughtered. Aggro doesn't beat Control, Midrange does. Thus, a hybrid between the two can also do it.
I agree that midrange hunter is nothing more than a aggro/face deck. Why even call it midrange? Because of the mana curve? Of course it's going to auto-include broken cards like highmane and CotW. Why would it not? The fact is they just face rush you without regards to the board. They even use burn, like kill command, on your face most of the time instead of actually clearing a minion.
controlgreedy player doesn't play anything worth trading, than obviously the midrange player should go face. To do otherwise is stupid. Heck, even another control player would go face against such a deck.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.
Yeah, this is the truth. Even ramp druids can't outvalue *face* shamans these days, it's getting ridiculous.
When a face deck drops minions on t1-t4 that are tough enough to be immune to all early game AoE and most lategame AoE , can dump 22 worth of stats on T6 while doing 13 dmg from hand, something is wrong.
An aggro face deck should look like old facehunter... annoying as heck? Yeah sure. Damage? Insane. Value? Near nil. Lastability? None. You drop reno against a face deck and it should be GG, the aggro decks we see in standard just rofl-stomp additional 30 dmg without breaking a sweat.
Take a card like consecration, that should be a *good* card against face decks, today it is utterly and completely useless. The answers to these decks are so lacking that in half the games recovering is an impossibility.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the game is currently broken in standard.
