1. Complaining on forums has dropped dramatically.
2. There is much more serious discussion of a variety of decks on forums, and about slower cards like Curator, meaning people are playing a bigger variety of decks.
3. In my ranked games, I see a variety of decks, and a variety of decks can be successful. (Caveat: I play only Wild on NA, and standard at lower levels on EU with a newer 42P account).
Maybe the meta is still sorting itself out, but right now it is pretty fun and diverse. The changes have helped a lot.
Ok I know it's a liability but can you please stop writing "Standart"?!?! it's "Standard"!!! It's written with a d not a t... I find it so damn annoying....
I apologize for the kinda pointless post/rant but I really felt the need to write this...
I haven't really been ranking up too much recently, so I haven't noticed much ingame, but there's definitely been way less complaining on the forums about overpowered cards. People can say what they want about Blizzard's nerfs, but it looks like Blizzard might've actually done a pretty good job this time.
I noticed that Hybrid hunter isn't as good using same deck as before. Turn 8 is kind of a dead zone with COTW moved to 9 mana. But yes seeing way more types of decks. But still tons of Shaman, mages and Warriors.
I still see a ton of Shamans, but the majority of them are midrange now instead of pure face. Hunters I have found MUCH more beatable with their nerf. I have already won a few games that I would have otherwise lost thanks to the 1+ mana on CotW. Warriors still punish just as hard, so I don't think they're feeling it too much. Wish they would have added 1 more mana to Shield Slam as well, although the results would probably be the same anyway.
Overall I'm digging the nerfs because this time around it hit 3 classes that I don't play lol. The pain is still wearing off from the insane Druid nerfs, but luckily Druid didn't see any reduction in power as far as I can tell (just new and different decks that still win just as much).

Yes and please don't use ' would of ' and 'could of' . It should be ' would have' and 'could have', really annoying.
Still don't get how Savannah Highmane can be untouched, it's ridicously OP in hunter. It drains too much resources and even at turn 9 Call of the Wild is too good when played after it.

I have not gotten many hunters since their call of the win got bumped to 9 mana. Also most shammies are running hex and they are being saved for highmane, so this meta isn't really friendly to hunters. I expect additional nerfs early 2017 to perhaps a dozen classic cards.
I've been seeing a lot of varied decks, but that might just be because I have not bothered to seriously rank yet as i'm hanging around rank 15 messing around testing different decks. I imagine that rank 10 onwards is the usual Shaman, Tempo Mage, and Hunter try hard decks I always see. I've seen a LOT more Priests as well which is always nice, free win Kappa, lol...

Highmane is fine, every class has a few really strong cards and highmane is a really cool card for hunter.
Call of the skill nerf did really affect midrange hunter. I liked to play hunter for a few games on ladder and realized really quickly that this change was HUGE!
I currently play midrange Shaman and it still rocks. I think Ive lost only a single game vs hunter where I drew pretty badly..
There are a lot of Warriors and Mages on ladder, which is kinda tough to deal with. Especially Warrior is annoying as games last ages vs control and pirate is a coinflip
Savannah Highmane should be a legendary. 10/9 stats for 6 mana is ridiculous, only reason people don't complain a lot is because everyone is playing Midrange Shaman (Hex) so it's not that big of a problem for them.
This balance patch could potentially be one of the worst since I haven't felt any changes in meta other than Shaman is becoming even more popular. I still face just as many hunters. Now people just go full snowball after Yogg took a slight hit.
My observations since the balance patch:
1. Complaining on forums has dropped dramatically.
2. There is much more serious discussion of a variety of decks on forums, and about slower cards like Curator, meaning people are playing a bigger variety of decks.
3. In my ranked games, I see a variety of decks, and a variety of decks can be successful. (Caveat: I play only Wild on NA, and standard at lower levels on EU with a newer 42P account).

I have to say, I don't get angry as much against Aggro Shamans

I see zoo more often now...
what? You guys see shaman, hunter, and zoo decks?
Why am I only see Mages :(

Haven't run into a Shaman since before the nerf. Strange...
Midrange Shaman is broken af. Blizzard needs to nerf Thing from Below and actually start thinking on not releasing broken af cards every explansion.
I think I have seen 2-3 yoggs in maybe 100 games since the nerf
yogg decks and face shamans are long gone which is awesome, but midrange shaman still tier 1 and meta is still pretty much same

They need some hard anti-shaman tech. Something like this one, but eating ALL enemy totems...
