Have absolutely no idea why some people actually enjoy grinding the ladder to legend. Got to rank 1 3 stars & rank 1 2 stars a few times. Now I'm back to rank 2 at 2 stars. Don't even have anything to show for all of those hours of grinding. Waste of the end of a Saturday. How annoying.
I'm pretty sure most people know this, but if you actually want to reach Legend occasionally (for whatever reason), it's best to do it the last 5 days of the month because the players usually suck, you will face a lot of weaker decks and very possibly queue into the same guy 2-3 times where even being counter-queued doesn't matter much because these guys make way more mistakes and horrible plays giving you the free win anyway. 10 days ago I was at rank 1; 4 stars and I dropped to rank 3 where I started playing stuff like Dane's Big Rogue and Reno Hunter, dropping back to rank 5 lol. Yesterday I played a bit of Renolock and what do you know, faced a bunch of horrible players and I'm back to rank 3 with like a 70% win-rate.
Anyway TL:DR, I agree with you, the grind is boring, I have absolutely no idea who enjoys it. At first I thought I was just a lot worse than most of the streamers that I watch, but when comparing win-rates it just turns out they play way too much Hearthstone compared to us more "casual" players.
Facing Kingsbane Pirate rogues feels just bad. I mean, what can you do top stop them buffing their weapon and drawing it bunch of times. Yeah, Leeching Poison was totally the broken card, that caused the community's frustration. And not the extra cycle or the unbreakable dagger. I swear, I hate hyper aggressive decks, losing to card draw RNG. This reminds me of the good ol' Pirate Warrior days, where I died on turn 4/5.
trust me, kingsbane is my most hated card of all time
Can you imagine how truly pathetic you would feel to be playing a hunter or odd pally deck in this meta and NOT be able to climb up to ranks 5-1? You would just know for sure you were a fucking useless retard. Even worse would be getting to the end of the season at rank 5-1 but knowing it was meaningless because you were so shit you had to play hunter/pally to get there. Sad little fucks either way.

I agree. All I do is climb to rank 5 and my head is pounding every time I am finished.

Start of Year: Provoke the failure of 3 expansions, force nerfs on otherwise balanced cards, bring deckbuilding to an all-time low and get rotated one year earlier for being such a threat to the game's health. - Genn and Baku's historical entry on the White Book of Shit Design, shortly before retiring unpunished
Decks like Mech Hunter are the reason people hate Aggro, because these degenerate decks literally don't let you play the game. Bad draw? Lose the game on turn 4, remove their board 2 times, you win, yeah so interactive and fun.

And I'm facing the same fucking degenerate playing this bullshit for the fourth time in Casual
Mechathun is the worst card ever printed. By far. Fuck off with your alternatives, it's mechathun. If it was printed with dirty rat still existing, it would be fiine. But dirty rat is gone. Mechathun is the fun killer. God fucking forbid y ou play a deck that's fucking fun, if it beats aggro decks then guess what the fuck you are queueing into, a shitload of mechathun decks. this game is such bullshit.
I was watching Pewds critiquing Dr. Phil's counseling services. My Rexxar choices were so bad it hurts to watch. But I did have Rexxar. So . . .
I'm not fake salting, I'm posting this on behalf of my opponent. If I had been paying attention enough to realize how badly this game was played, I'd have given him the win. Rexxar turn 6 makes up for a lot of bad play.

Helpful Clarification on Forbidden Topics for Hearthstone Forums:
Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.

To be fair, that is true for all non-interactive combo decks, like pre-nerf Shudderwock Shaman and Quest Rogue.
It's a balance: Aggro beats Combo, Combo beats Control and Control (usually) beats Aggro.
In my mind the most oppressing decks are on-curve Tempo decks like Odd Rogue and Secret/Beast Hunter. If you can only react to your opponent turn after turn, never establishing a board presence of your own, you're simply dead by turn 6 or 7.
Will Blizzard ever fix these cancerous Otk decks? I have never been so annoyed at this game than in this otk meta! It is insane! Either it is instant mechathun win or 100 combo damage decks - nothing you can do as a control player. I'm tired of loosing every match to these decks - where is the hunter decks everybody is complaining about? I would rather face them - atleast it it is a fair fight.

Zihi want a talk with you. This Card shits on Mecha'thun. ;)
played 7 games yesterday in wild, all big priest, 6 of em had barnes turn 4 and then some resurrects, thanks
Big Priest is easy. You was legend you should know how to beat them… if not you don't deserve it.
That's not how it goes, if you play a slower deck besides Renolock or Big Rogue, you are playing an opressive matchup which you are likely to lose, so obviously you have no fucking idea what you're talking about
Ok, after 5 priests in a row taking me from Rank 2 5 stars down to rank 3, I am sufficiently salty enough to give this game a break. Fucking bullshit mind blast priests. What a fucking joke. No deck should be able to do 40 damage with one fucking card. So fucked off right now...

Worst Game of Hearthstone I Have Ever Played . . . But Still Rexxar
I was watching Pewds critiquing Dr. Phil's counseling services. My Rexxar choices were so bad it hurts to watch. But I did have Rexxar. So . . .

Just lost against last boss on dungeon run just because i didn't get taunt option from 8x adapt wand.

My first created Hearthstone cards:
Brainless spell hunter shouldnt exist. Playing green fucking cards all day...

OMFG! I am so sick of these fucking shithead priests with their unstoppable fucking combos.
Just fuck off back to Pokemon already.

I just spend an hour trying to pull off a combo, they always concede midgame.
Now when I'm about to pull it off, the game craches...
