Oh, and in terms of this meta's decks, my least favorite is Aggro Paladin. Mostly because I used to like the archetype ages ago, and it saddens me to see it reduced to another play on curve and make obvious trades deck.
To me the most fun aggro decks to play are the ones where you need to find the balance between saving reach to end the game, and fighting for the board in the earlier turns to get enough repetitive minion damage in(a perfect example of a deck that did this EXTREMELY well was tempo mage when flamewaker was still in the game), but with the current quality of early and mid game minions you usually don't need to care about that. Even tempo rogue, another deck which I used to enjoy playing, has become incredibly dumb since keleseth was added into the game.
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.
We needed more stuff like mimirons head with your mechs combining to form creatures and effects
I play a lot of control so Quest Rogue was definitely the most one-sided oppressive deck that made me just stop playing until KotFT.
My introduction to ranked back in the day was Mech Mage and one of the first decks I had the cards for, so I played that a lot. These days I like me some cubelock from time to time, especially since it's a deck that could practically run 40 cards and teching and playing to your setup's advantages is really important, I actually think it's more open gameplay than most control and combo decks due to the amount of mini-combos and their importance in different matchups. So definitely unapologetically enjoying me some Cubelock.
I really dislike Razakus Priest. It is really aggravating to lose to 1-ofs drawn at the perfect time. Not to mention Kazakus on 4, Raza on 5 and Anduin on 8.
I have played a lot of Pirate Warrior. Not proud to admit it, but it was just a really efficient deck. The games were short so win or lose, it never felt like a waste of time.
It has never been really competitive and I hope it will never be cause I really really really loathe Mill Rogue (or Druid or anything that wants to win by burning my cards).... I hate those Decks to the point that whenever I see a Coldlight Oracle I immediately concede to spare myself the torture that would be playing a game,which as a mostly Combo/Control player,I am really unlikely to win.... Not to mention the emote spam from those playing the Deck that seem to think they're special snowflakes that can BM just cause they know they'll win no matter how bad they play just cause the MU is horribly loopsided....
As for the "hated" Deck I suppose that would be Freeze Mage (That I still play,I really hope it gets some love in the next expansion) that 90% of the users here seem to hate more than pre nerf Pirates....
Most hated deck was Christmas Tree Pally, though it is pretty weak by today's standards. I never understood why so many aggro or aggro-oriented cards were nerfed, yet Divine Favor has never been touched once. The card completely encourages vomiting your hand onto the board and actively punishes non-aggro decks that can't dump their hands, resulting in the pally getting spontaneous bursts of steam to vomit a board from nothing all over.
Back in the day I played Undertaker Hunter a lot. Got to rank 5 back in the day, but couldn't stomach playing the multi hour long grind to legend after hitting the wall of control warriors and priests who somehow always got lucky Sludge Belchers and Owls early on constantly.
i hated face hunter both in its classic iteration and when it digievolved into huntertaker hunter, it was so boring and uninteractive and didn't even care for your board showcased why charge is a problem with this game, like when you compare it tof reeze mage another deck famous for "uninteractivity" at least freeze mage took the decency to acknowledge that you ahd minions on board, both by wasting some burn as removal and freezing minions is still interacting with the minions and acknowledging they are there, face hunter didn't do anything regarding to whatever minion you played, at most it used hunter's mark/owl on a big taunt and kept going face.
I'm guilty of actually really enjoying the secret Paladin meta and using secret pala myself, one because it sotmped over face hunter, which i still hated by that time, and second because the decks that "countered" secret Paladin were actually interesting decks, namely demon handlock, Patron Warrior and mid-range/combo druid, it was a 5 deck meta as well but i enjoyed playing both as and against all those decks.
highlander priest. I regret crafting that lame ass deck. OP, boring to play, boring to play against, and literally no skill involved. Plus I could have crafted way more fun decks with all that dust.
Hate: Razakus. Not a very unique answer but its not just that its op. It existing shapes the entire meta. Without it their would be a lot more viable decks.
Played: KFT tempo rogue. Most of the rogue decks I play now are some variant of it (Finja, Jade). You name it, I've memed it.
Quest rogue is probably the deck I've hated the most, jade druid as a close second. Just, quest rogue is so... boring. Un'goro after the nerf was an amazing meta. Jade druid is also pretty bad, I hate that deck.
I generally haven't had the dust to craft meta decks, so instead, I boldly proclaim that I hate meta decks and feel morally superior while losing all my games.
I will say though, I really like playing against control warlock. Win or lose, its usually a really fun game playing against it.
Untertaker Hunter was the worst, because everyone else played it. 2x "Bring out your death." No answer = gg t1
Never thought, that I would be playing Hunter after that, but started playing Nzoth Hunter way later and Rexxar is one of my favourite cards. (Still waiting for the update!)
Undertaker face hunter, pre nerfs. Just so brainless and uninteractive. So many boys running that deck at the time, probably because they were super easy to program.
I honestly can’t think of any hated decks I play. I rarely play face, personal preference, and almost always try and make my own decks a little different than what people normally run into.
I never played when undertaker was a problem. So for me it was Pirate Warrior. It took 0 skill to play and, playing against it, you either had the counter or you didn't. Plus, for some reason, those Pirate Warriors were some of the dumbest emoting jerk-wads in the history of time lol.

Combo Druid loved that deck and Patron Warrior loved both decks
