I'm sorry, but posts like this just make me shake my head.
The game and the meta are so bad that you've taken the time cut your way all the way up to rank 2? And you woke up with your morning coffee to do something you hate? Really? Find a better hobby!
Thinking about the game is just depressing, basically everytime a good expansion launches it's guaranteed to get ruined shortly after. Blizzard needs to nerf way faster, corridor creeper and summoner are poisoning the entire meta unpunished again. It always lasts months before they act. Nothing will change, the game sucks and it's gonna keep sucking.
And yet, here you are.. lamenting a game that sucks? Yes, Corridor Creeper's a bit out of hand, but it's not Midrange Shaman of old out of hand. It's far easier to counter than that snowball. And Spiteful Summoner is not poisoning the meta. Seriously there's enough bad stuff at each mana cost that you can get a poor summon out of it. If I had a pack of cards for every time my Big Spell Mage has gotten Lynessa Sunsorrow...
There are certainly issues of class diversity in this meta, like most of them in recent memory. But let's not pretend that this is the worst piece of shit ever. Otherwise, what're you even doing here?
As for the meta, this is the "no aggro" meta half of hearthpwn wanted no? I hope you guys are happy now
How is this not an aggro meta when even priest has an aggressive deck?
Yes Cubelock, Highlander/big priest and Jade Druid still exist but every other deck is aggressive tempo decks. Back in MSOG Priest running pirates was a joke, now it's an actual deck smh.
Coffee? More like you lost your pacifier and someone didn't change your nappy. There's a thread for crybabies, use that instead of making a new useless thread.

Well, while a lot of aggro decks sport slightly higher win rates, Razakus Priest and Control Warlock are easily some of the most popular and successful in the meta.

FFS jamming pirates in a deck doesn't automatically make it an aggro deck. Tempo priest is a midrange board control deck, aka a tempo deck and a slow one at that. It literally has "tempo" in the name. If it was a true aggro deck, it would be running mind blasts instead of 8 drops and 10 mana spells
Try telling people from face hunter era that in two years, one of the best "aggressive" decks is one that runs 2 mind controls and they're going to laugh in your face
Maybe you should switch your whine statement from "aggro is cancer" to "playing minions is cancer" now that the only real aggro deck left is paladin

The other decks are going aggressive because the top decks are combo and there's only two ways to stop combo: Fast Tempo and Fatigue.
Cubelock and Highlander are Combo oriented and are by far the top dogs. Unless someone comes up with a hyperpowered dead man's warrior deck (and do we really want a Fatigue meta?) then we'll be going fast Tempo. That and, again, Ranked ALWAYS pushes for fast no matter the meta.
I'm starting to think that, beyond Ranked being Ranked, the big issue is when Combo/Control is at the very top. When those decks dominate, the counter to them goes aggro (Combo means fast Tempo, Control means Smorc).
I'm guessing the 'solution' is to have a Tempo deck be the meta defining deck. That will keep smorc and combo decks at bay. Meanwhile, the counter to Tempo is Control. You'll still have a lot of fast decks thanks to Ranked but it's probably the closest you can get until Ranked is overhauled.
Oh and nuke Patches into orbit. or just nuke all of MSoG.

Always with the semantics. When someone says aggressive, they don't literally mean decks that end their curve with 4-5 mana cards.
MSOG all over again. Dunno if it will get even more monotonous and one-sided, but for me that's a normal thing at the time before the next rotation.
Don't want to sound like a downer, but I can't wait for the big honeymoon period it's yet to come (aka the meta after the rotation, when standard actually becomes fun and fresh). I'm not really complaining atm, I think there have been much more worse metas than before, but then again the meta hasn't fully settled down yet.
Against cubelock - yes, I have won games against it because I exhausted them. But against Raza (and quest mage) those are just an "OTK" decks, where you need to have a lot of armor to deal with them, which I'm not sure how exactly fatigue warrior will manage to do it, as it takes a lot of set up and a lot of spent resources to make this happen. Not that much against Highlander, as the priest player can only do 30 - 40 (at most 50) dmg in a single turn. Warrior can stabilize easier there than against QM.
I'm saying this, because imho the ONLY way out is the SMorc strategy against them, nothing more.

Could you please just uninstall the game and never come back if you do not enjoy it?
What a nice whine thread there... and sooo funny, it's like the Blizz&MigtyBB read all those threads and immediately do some nerfs *Kappa* :facepalm:
