My first impressions? 31 games so far, 22 (!!!!!!!!!) pirate warriors, all drawing like gods. Nice job creative people, nice new meta!
" Oh, but it's not even out for a day, stop whining and give it some time to adjust! "
You know what? No. This is the same crap people keep saying every expansion, and we all know too well how it ends. These few days are supposed to be the "fun" part of the game (before the meta settles), but I can't experience with any of the new archetypes, because I get destroyed by turn 5 unless tech half my deck against it, and that's not even a guarantee. You need to be lucky to beat them, and guess what, luck is not a privilege of mine.
So pirate warrior, here I come, my fun is ruined, might as well start with 50% in all the mirrors. Maybe Blizzard realises and does some nerfs that actually weakens the deck, because this cancer is obviously not going away.

Anyone would have already quit this game with my unluck.
Just play anti-aggro cards, lots of new ones in Un'Goro
Like I said, it isn't really fun to tech half your deck just to beat one old overpowered archetype. Also, you just auto-lose if you are not matched against pirate warrior.

I think the key point here is your unluckiness. I have played almost as many games and have only seen 1 pirate warrior. I also played 1 game as pirate warrior, and got destroyed.
I think the deck I've seen the most is rogue quest, but even they aren't over 50%.
Either way, I feel your pain. It really sucks to get killed so quickly without a real chance to respond.

have you ever done it yourself?
as soon as you put 6 weapon destruction cards in your quest taunt war all you see is quest mages and jade druids
It works only when deck have 55%+ winrate overall like you queue bloodlust face shaman instead of face warrior against taunt heavy decks. But decks that have 80+ winrate against one meta deck but 20% against everything else are unplayable because for whatever reason you will never play against the deck you supposed to counter.
sadly there is no downvote feature :/ . You should be glad that you actually get to taste the new expansion. EU is still with the tunnel trogg's . I don't know maybe you prefer that meta?
I'm totally on board with you in the whole "how could they let pirates survive???" rhetoric, but there are loads of new anti-aggro cards that fit into a lot of decks. I'm running a quest hunter (and not a pure face hunter that happens to run quest) and I have Bloodsail Corsairs and Gluttonous Oozes that have really shaken up pirate decks. Did I have to be lucky? Absolutely: pirate warrior is mindless card dumping and face smashing.
I think as long as the community continues to work on solutions, Blizzard will eventually make changes. But we can't stop at salt posts like this (legitimate though they may be).
The same goes for Jade Idol, btw; even in the new meta, that card needs to get a nerf, because infinite jades for 1-cost is a massively broken mechanic (and the whole reason pirate warrior was ever created).
I hope you find some decks that let you conquer pirate warriors and still enjoy the game! And if you find a deck, I know there are a lot of us out here who would appreciate it. A lot of us would be happy to flood the meta and chase pirate warrior out of tier 1.

Rage quitting: the best way to ensure your opponent knows they beat a giant baby.
What I forgot to mention is that this is around rank 2 - rank 1. I know it's the tryhard area, but still, this is way too much of the same aggro decks. So if you face less is because you are either legend where people feel more free to screw around, or because you are low-rank and people are just either play worse or don't have sufficient card collection.

The one time I tried to succumb today and play pirate warrior, I got utterly destroyed by multiple oozes - someone had been metagaming I guess :)
In seriousness though, Pirate Warrior has barely lost anything and Jade Druid has only lost Brann (pretty minor) and the Azure Drakes (admittedly a much bigger loss). Since those decks offer a crushing early game and late game respectively, it's a real challenge to build a new deck that doesn't get destroyed by at least one of the two.
I've had some really good games though today trying out new cards. When you get to play games where both you and your opponent are figuring out the new cards and playing bad stuff thinking it's decent, it creates some really fun moments

Barely seen any pirate warrior
Have seen two pirate warriors and destroyed them with Tempo Elemental Mage.

So you thought only Mage had an exodia combo eh
Still complaining about pirates when there is Caverns Below and Jade Idol OMEGALUL
That's weird because all I saw was Quest Warrior, and it seems like probably the best deck in the game right now.
Not seen a single Pirate Warrior (or Quest Warrior). Your experience is not indicative of the entire meta.

I have played 10 games so far and 9 of them were hunters and one was rogue. I don't miss pirates, but i'm starting to dislike hunter again >.<
Works well in the new meta http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/788330-hand-lock-lakkari-sacrifice
I disagree. All I see is not pirate decks and that is awesome as I auto win on Turn 2 consistently with my PW.
my bad. Checked at the day change(1 AM in gmt+3) in the morning and nothing was changed.
