Playing since beta and never have been more unhappy with the meta than I am right now. Most of the people play pirate warrior at my current Rank 5. An easy counter for this would be Reno Mage, or Tank up(Control) Warrior and maybe even Reno Lock without Combo has a slight edge. However from time to time I encounter Jade Druid and when I'm playing tank up warrior or Reno Mage I can just concede because the winning chance is probably around 5% with the Warrior and maybe 20% with the mage - i tried it many times but came to conclusion that these matchups are very bad.

Against shaman the odds are bad as well but at least they don't scale into infinit value - so what's my point?

The reason why almost everyone is playing pirate warrior is not that this deck has no weakness but that jade druide crushes all decks that are good against it and from time to time even win agains pirate warrior if they curve very well.

If Blizzard just nerfs the maximum Jade value to maybe 8/8s or start with 0/1, 1/2 jades, the game would be much more versatile and have more viable decks to play. I hope blizzard will realize this soon enough, because i see no change in the meta even after Ungoro. Aggro decks will be popular since they crush the infinite value druid.

Rock, paper, scissors. Jade druid destroys control and gets destroyed by aggro. People play aggro decks not because of that, aggro decks are way cheaper and easy to play.

So, people moved away from CW to play Reno decks because Jade Druid is making people go aggro since I assume HS meta was never based around aggro. Hmm... I see...
