What do you thing meta will be like in the new expension? Will hunter get some love? ( really why everyone acts like hunter is the retarded child of hearthstone?) Will shaman decks kicked out of ladder? And more important what do you think about the new expension? Comment below and lets discuss the new expension...

let me ask my magic 8ball... there was like 5 cards revealed + 2 leaked, what the fuck is there to discuss?
The quest mechanic will be too slow to keep up against jade, and the adapt abilities don't seem that good. Arena seems like it will improve from the new expansion, but constructed seems like it will remain the same as the meta of MSOG. Jades will dominate and pirates will do very well.
Hunter will definitely become meta, mostly due to a few reasons:
a) Un'goro features plenty of dinosaurs which are beasts and have the new Adapt keyword, which seems like it could be very strong if you put them onthe right minions and seeing how Gentle Megasaur proves that Adapt can be applied in different ways and not only just to one specific minion there is a good chance hunter will have some strong synergies
b) Hunter actually got a bunch of good cards in Gadgetzan, but the dominance of aggro and Shaman in particular, as well as very removal focused boardclears just overshadowed his potential. Cards like Rat Pack or Dispatch Kodo are pretty good even without Handbuffs and Hunter won't lose a whole lot of cards in the rotation (mainly just Quickshot and the very underrated Explorer's Hat)
c) We can also assume that Blizzard saw hunter's weak state and will try to give them even more powerful card, potentially even giving themm the shaman treatment and making them the most broken card for the next standard rotation or something like that...not that I want that to happen, but it's Blizzard....they'll do that.
d) finally, Hunter in general is always strong in a meta were he isn't outvalued by other midrange/aggro decks. Midrange shaman as we know it will be gone after the rotation (no more Trogg+Golem powerstarts) and while Pirate Warrior will still remain as a powerful aggro deck, I am quite certain that Blizzard will at least attempt to introduce more counters to it.
Aside from that Jade decks will probably be played a lot,, at least initially and Midrange Hutner has pretty good matchup against those, assuming he gets some more pwoerful early-game minions.
On another note, Murloc decks are probably be going strong. Gentle Megasaur proves that the Murloc synergy is still being kept alive and we all saw how Finja managed to make Murlocs competitive jsut by himself. Murloc Shaman won't be as great because no more Everyfin, but the aforementioned Megasaur might make up for it.
Blizzard needs to make Un'goro count, since they're making a lot more risky moves lately (3 expansions/year, Price increases in europe, more Heoric brawls, controversial Arena changes). If Un'goro doesn't at least deliver in some aspects (class diversity, less aggro, no more insane RNG cards) then Hearthstone might ose a large part of its playerbase...it won't die of course, but it will make it harder for them t convince players to invest in their game, which is, at the end of the day, their main goal
All I can say is... Hope the elemental tag will help give certain cards a lot more power like Anomalous (maybe having an elemental take the effect of another elemental or something?), but considering we don't know any of the synergy cards elementals have there isn't really much to discuss other than shaman having way too many elementals.
The quests seem interesting and probably are either really o.p. in a slower meta or completely useless in a fast meta, but it's hard to see where the meta may go after an expansion. Especially when you only know like 5 cards in the expansion of 135 or whatever the number was.
Adapting is also an interesting mechanic. Probably going to be thrown on cards with lower stats, but the adapt will make them a lot more versatile. Just as long as the cards don't have trash tier stats. Then again we only know 2 cards with the adapt mechanic and who really knows how adapt will work since one of them just adapts all the merlocs on your side of the field so... too soon to really even speculate.
Let me guess, you started playing after LoE? That was first time since Mech Shaman (that wasn't too good) that Shaman had a good deck, and it wasn't until WotOG that Midrange Shaman got strong. After the rotations there's still Jade and whatever new cards shaman gets, but one more year and shaman will be dead.

There is nothing to discuss here. Only 5 cards have been revealed for god sake...
I think hunter will be in meta because of this adapt thing but shaman never dies. I think priest will be weak because lack of dragons.
Gramma Nazi at your service - Think*

I think the Warlock Legendary is pretty cool and the new Hunter Weapon is awesome.
Not sure about the Rogue cards tho
I might be back on this thread five days from now...

I tried having fun once. It was awful.
