For me, my all time least favorite would probably be Secret Pally, by the light I hated Smug Uther for a long time (Mysterious Challenger and Divine Favor are still my least favorite cards)
My jeckface deck was probably aggro shaman. My excuse is I had been playing a lot of shaman and it felt good to finally have a top tier(ish) deck to play. I also played a little Patron warrior but post warsong nerf.
I don't know about "hated deck" that I play now, but there was a strong group of people who hated GvG/Mechs "back then", and I was not one of them lol. I love Mechs, and Freeze Mech Mage was a lot of fun at the time. That's a deck I can get behind: I don't like to Freeze people so I can stall for Archmage Antonidas; I want to Freeze people to beat their faces in with my minions lol.
The decks I despise - or rather, the card in particular that grinds my teeth to dust - are Reno Jackson decks. I've got you on the ropes, I'm about to win, and it hasn't dawned on me that you're not running duplicates. It still doesn't register in my head: I figure maybe you haven't played the second copy, or whatever. I'm not always thinking about the fact that you're actually a Highlander. And losing to Reno Jackson when you thought the game was close the whole time is really frustrating.

I’ve always hated playing against any kind of Priest deck. Because of their hero power, if they ever get ahead on board it feels like you are fighting an uphill, hopeless battle.
I’ve played a lot of midrange Shaman, but to be fair I had my Golden Shaman portrait long before Whispers of the Old Gods made the deck insane.
Razakus. I hate Razakus and I think it is the most bored and frustrating deck to play against in the all history of Hearthstone. A 20 minutes match based on board clear where at the end you will one shoot or practically one shoot. Do you want something more frustrating? Even worst it is very strong, tier 1, even worst it is full of them, pratically 30% of the games are against them. No really do you want something more frustrating?
You likely haven't played this game long enough. Even if you are one of the crybabies that yeps about "uninteractivity" whenever you see a combo deck, there have been way, way worse combo decks in the history of this game than razakkus.
-Prenerv Quest Rogue -Bigpriest when they get statue after statue and play a deck that cant hex/sheep it -Pirate Warrior before the life nerf was super toxic -Secret Pala was fine with/since Eater of secrets. But since the deck wasnt expensive it was still possible to play it yourself. -Aggro Shaman... was also somehow ok, because you could beat it, while you still had the danger to die all the time. -Mech Mage (i also dislike the modern secret mage... but eater of secrets can handle it)
I'm not sure what deck i disliked the most.... but it has to be prenerv pirate warrior, quest rogue or the new cubelock

You have your opinions I have mine. I play Hearthstone since the beta. For me this deck is the worst. 20 minutes match with only boad clear and after your face under machine-gun it is the worst deck ever seen and the worst deck that I can imagine.
Yes, that is completely unlike playing against Patron Warrior, Freeze Mage or OTK warrior(warsong+giants version) right?
At least razakus relies on drawing 2 exact cards of their deck to kill you. All the aforementioned decks were, at different points, tier one as well, and I would argue that patron warrior in particular was much more oppressive than razakkus is now.
If you really have played since beta, you have a terrible memory.
I think it must be combo druid. I hated that thing with passion. It got to a point I automatically started piling up bile on the stomach at the second I saw Malfurion as opponent. Sometimes I swear I was even close to vomit for how much did that thing disgusted me.
Jade Druid and any of the Priest decks since Gadgetzan coul probably be the next ones.
And then secret fuckadin, naxx zoolock or huntertaker, I guess.
People often hated on Handlock. It happened to be the second deck I managed to build (after non-leeroy miracle rogue, that is), and the first one to get me to rank 5. Also the one I enjoyed the most playing, because you could swing the match in many different ways, and every card you played on every turn was important, it was all about decision making, smart economy, and all those things.
I still miss it, for me, handlock died when Molten Giant died. And now we even have Bloodreaver Gul'dan and Shadowreaper Anduin to put some nails on the coffin.
On the second place, Reno decks. I made Reno versions of warlock (many different versions), rogue (quite a bunch of them), mage (a few), warrior (one) and hunter (only one and with Y'shaarj as well, but I freaking loved it).

I still miss old school handlock like no tomorrow :(
probably zoolock or aggro paladin, though both cover many decks over a long period of time. zoolock for sheer level of contempt for it and the people that play it over such a length of time. while i probably don't actually have the depth of hatred for aggro paladin that i do for zoolock or even several of the others listed below, it perhaps triggers me the most because it just feels WRONG
i've never played a deck i hated. never aggro nor jade druid, never face nor undertaker hunter, mech, tempo or secret mage, secret or aggro paladin, not keleseth or spiteful summoner priest, not keleseth/tempo rogue, not mech or aggro shaman, never zoolock or pirate or tempo/dragon warriors
probably the most hateable deck i've played was a bit of quest rogue, but considering the deck was honestly horrible in the meta with all the aggro decks it faced well before it was even nerfed, it was really more of an underdog deck and thus not really a hateable deck by my standards. it probably qualified right after JUG launched, but that period didn't really last that long (again, its time as "hateable" ended WELL before it was nerfed, IMO), and that was before i ever played it myself, and even then I found it a fun challenge to play against, unlike the decks listed above, which have no redeeming qualities whatsoever and are never fun to play against even when you destroy them.
i've played some raza priest, some big priest, and some patron warrior, but i don't consider those hateable decks (other people are of course entitled to their opinion, and in having it, entitled to be wrong. i will NEVER understand the pathetic bitching about combo decks that MIGHT kill you on turn 10+ if they draw really well and manage to survive that long by losers that think an aggro deck that wins on the mulligan if the opponent doesn't draw an early removal and a board clear by turn 5 or 6 is just fine and dandy. barring extreme high rolls like barnes into y'shaarj into y'shaarj you at least get a chance to play against the decks that are most complained about these days. but losing because your opponent drew perfectly feels a lot less bad than losing because you DIDN'T draw perfectly. let me face a high-roll deck over a face-roll deck any day of the week).
i guess some people really hate mill decks, and i played a fair bit of mill druid back in the day, so maybe that can count up there with quest rogue, though i don't think mill druid was ever really hated compared to other mill decks (esp. rogue)
I don't know about "hated deck" that I play now, but there was a strong group of people who hated GvG/Mechs "back then", and I was not one of them lol. I love Mechs, and Freeze Mech Mage was a lot of fun at the time. That's a deck I can get behind: I don't like to Freeze people so I can stall for Archmage Antonidas; I want to Freeze people to beat their faces in with my minions lol.
The sad thing about Mechs is they had a lot of potential, but in the end their only synergy worth considering was a murloc-like rush to face, and that kind of killed the mood towards mechs.
I actually hoped they would consider put mech stuff again and try to make something cooler out of it but apparently all we're gonna have anytime soon is dragons and more dragons.

Ohh the nostalgia I also loved me some handlock, something great about slapping down a couple molten giants and protector and hoping that they didnt have any reach.

I think that Raza and Patron both count as "Hated Decks" though I have a soft spot for patron myself.
Oh right, and I played basically every viable deck archetype in every meta of the game since about GvG, although obviously some more than others. That obviously also includes some of the most hated decks.
Out of the decks I "mained" at any point, the one that is likely to be the most hated by the community(not that I care) is Razakkus. The deck is clearly broken, and I hope it gets nerfed as much as the next guy(for the sake of game balance) but I also find it extremely fun to play, and I don't care what anyone thinks.
Other candidates would be BrM aggro paladin(the deck was way different than it is now though), freeze mage and flamewaker tempo mage, just because this community has a very unjustified hatred for aggro/tempo decks.
For me, my all time least favorite would probably be Secret Pally, by the light I hated Smug Uther for a long time (Mysterious Challenger and Divine Favor are still my least favorite cards)
My jeckface deck was probably aggro shaman. My excuse is I had been playing a lot of shaman and it felt good to finally have a top tier(ish) deck to play. I also played a little Patron warrior but post warsong nerf.
So whats yours?
I loved playing some secret pally. It was a happy shiny deck.
Personally, freeze mage is my least favorite.
Quest Rogue and Pre-nerf Jade Druid were by far my two most hated
However I started playing a bit after msog release so I missed the secret pally days

Pirate Warrior. By far.

Check out my fun and innovative decks here:
Beat your opponent to a pulp with Revenant Warrior or outlast them with Demon Reno Warlock.
I hated mech mage and I loved playing combo druid lol
Secret paladin. It was the only deck that made me seriously consider deleting the game.
Hated: Face Hunter with Undertaker; any of these brain-dead Patches decks
Played: I played a lot of Priest when Mind Control was an 8-cost.
-Prenerv Quest Rogue
-Bigpriest when they get statue after statue and play a deck that cant hex/sheep it
-Pirate Warrior before the life nerf was super toxic
-Secret Pala was fine with/since Eater of secrets. But since the deck wasnt expensive it was still possible to play it yourself.
