Hey guys. First, let me mention that this is not a whining post. If you think that this meta is not broken, then you have no idea how the HS mechanic supposed to work - at least properly. I have been playing priest for two years - since beta and although I was always aware that the class was bad, I still could enjoy the game and in fact recently posted a shadow priest deck that got over 100+ likes.
The solution is simple stop playing hearthstone. Not only that the game is broken as hell thanks to jade idol cancer, which also proves how unprofessional the Blizzard game developers are, but also the game has become more like a pay to win, as you have to buy hundreds of packs to get the necessary cards to try new mechanics, a.k.a. Capitalism.
Don't even bother replying how to counter jade idol by playing aggro since this logic only helps awful game designers and certainly doesn't help Hearthstone community.
Anyway I am off until these two issues are fixed and PROTESTing Blizzard for it.
Enjoy(!) your ranked games against endless jade idols and 5 turn pirate warriors.
Edit: I had 4866 wins for Play mode and 3162 wins for Arena. Just added the photo to indicate that I am experienced enough in Hearthstone to complain about the direction that it goes.
I would actually like this meta when these damn old decks would get killed. Like midrange shaman and tempo mages are still being played and this just triggers me
I agree that right now the meta seems very clunky.
It feels like the type of decks I like to play are squeezed between 30dmg T6 aggro in one end and slow endless threats in the other end... and there is simply no way out, there are no answers.
Of all the decks i´ve seen in MSG Jade druid must be one of the LEAST broken things. Hell, i´ve only lost ONE game to them in 13 total games. And i´ve been playing NOTHING but midrange and control.
The deck has NO pressure the first 4-6 turns, which is absurdly slow. Pirate warrior eats them alive, hunter destroy them, zoo lock destroys them, i haven´t lost a single time to them with my reno Krul leeroy deck. And it seems like an unfavorable matchup against Dragon priest.
So what i ask of you is, which decks that are in the current meta does it actually counter?

I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
Although there is a lot of fun cards in the expansion, i agree 100%
i don't like where this meta is going, pretty much the 2 extremes:
1-aggro braindead pirate warrior
2- The thing that destroy any control deck: Jade decks (what is Fatigue, anyway,)? Does it exist in this expansion?
I thinked that Mid shaman was bad, but those 2 decks proved to be way less fun to play against. Or you lose in the speed of light against aggro or you lose to the infinite golem army if you try to play control. Really, blizzard?
We made another one quit. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Nice work men.
That is all, dismissed.

Bro, it's the first two days of meta. For all you know Pirate warrior's a fad and in a few weeks we'll never see it again.
It is not only about pirate warriors. In fact, my games were fair against warriors. This thread is about, you are no longer allowed to play the type of deck that you like, but rather you are literally forced to choose a deck that has at least a potential against those broken ones.
Btw i think this is one of the healthiest metas for a darn long time. The most cancerous deck ( Pirate warrior ) can be teched with very favoring tech cards including ooze and harrison. I remember few to none metas where its been this easy to tech, which i find amazing, since it makes it easier to eliminate the matchups you hate the most. I´m currently playing reno priest with harrison and ooze. And pirate warriors make me laugh.

I don't know. I'm playing a Reno Priest monster that usually wins against both Pirate Warrior and Jade Druid, so I have no reason to complain. Or quit. I did craft both Kazakus and Raza to build the deck, but now I'm good for a while. Wait until the meta actually settles before getting dramatic. This is DAY TWO.
I hate the current meta aswell, especially pirate warrior.
But I won't stop playing Hearthstone. I admit that I'm simply addicted to the game.
I will never, ever resort to playing cancer though.
This is my case. I wont play aggro just because its boring as hell, just like Jade Idol Druid, too boring.
I play to have fun, and i have fun with Renolock, Reno Mage, Dragon Priest, Buffadin, Buff Hunter and such stuff. I'll keep playing them, and i couldnt care less if i lose, but when i win it was totally worth it.
There's no such thing as a cancer deck. There are braindead decks (Midrange Shaman) and there are frustrating decks (Patron Warrior) but every single archetype has a counter, and every archetype has its heyday. You can't honestly expect your pet deck to always be viable, just like you can't expect any other archetype to never be viable (like what people think this expansion will do to aggro). Metas flow and shift, especially at first.
I understand your frustration, and in some ways I'm there with you. But saying that the game's developers are sadistic bureaucrats who either don't care or hate what you consider "fun" gameplay is simply ridiculous. Not everyone sees the beauty of HS in the same way as you or I, and the sooner we realize that then the sooner we can adapt.
Leave if you want, no one's stopping you. But for the love of God don't be an ass about it. If the game frustrates you, then it's your right to leave and not give the company you hate any more money. But encouraging the rest of us (some of whom love this expansion so far) to abandon ship because of your salt is a little insulting and very degrading.
