Hearthpwn

I played since naxxramas, seen highs and lows, but i've never felt the need to vent. I mean i get salty every now and then, but this is ridicolous. I FREAKING HATE THIS META. Basically i am a rogue player and this Uldum crap has no viable rogue deck! I tried Thief Rogue, Pogo Rogue, Mogu Rogue, Aggro/Tempo rogue, and i'm getting at rank 7 tops. I used to be a rank 3 player, dammit, but blizzard just felt the need to screw rogue players by nerfing prep, HOF'ing vanish and making rogue an unreliable class. I'm not saying i cannot win, i'm saying that since now rogue is so inconsistent that you better get kissed by lady luck or . Is it just me? Maybe, i was never the luckiest player around, but damn.
Aggro decks steamroll you (cause you have just got a measly fan of knives, what can you do with it?), you can't stop combo decks (unless you tech Hecklebot which surprise, only reliably stops shirvallahdins) and control decks have better cards all around unless you generate absurd answers.
I'm getting tired of this.

Guyths David Icke said to me the game is rigged, can I trust him. He is the same guy who talks about lizards controlling the world.

 All you have to do is spend a little time on Google. Blizzard admits that they manipulate the appearance of certain cards in arena, guarantees rares or better in decks, guarantees a certain number of rares or better in arena, guarantees a legendary every so many decks, and now they even have Zephyrs which does what the game already does every draw  - read the board and determine the best possible card. There is nothing random about this game. 

A bit of a rant, and looking for info on how to improve...

First the rant:  I've played HS off and on for a couple of years.  I've bought some packs, but would consider myself a F2P player, and while I like the game in general, I'm seriously considering uninstalling due to constantly facing decks full of Legendary cards at Levels 18-16.  Being the handicapped/underdog against mediocre players who can simply spam Legendaries, has become tiresome, and I simply don't know what/how to do to improve my position...I buy packs with in game currency, have tried Arena a few times with meh results, and have tried many different decks/heroes to no avail.

So...my plea is for the community to advise, and/or point me in the right direction for the best way to "grow" as a player, and to build better/competitive decks without having to shell out real money...thanks in advance for your input

Worst meta in a long while for sure. My opinion of a healthy meta is when you can at least have some fun with interesting decks (Academic Espionage Rogue comes to mind - not an amazing win rate but decent) but this meta is another complete lockout if you're not playing net deck trash that is broken af. 

I just don't find enjoyment from net decking the same old tired shit. I want to try new combinations and build something semi-competitive in the process because there are not outright broken shit flooding the meta but the trash balance of this game rears its head once again. 

Think I'm done until the next balance patch or expansion, not that I have much faith in either.

 Well I hit legend with Deathrattle Rogue so... I guess net decking is not the only way

That's the thing, i didn't even netdeck (mostly because i'm a FTP player, and netdecking means you mostly need whatever card they ask). I guess i'm just unlucky AF

No rant but I am constantly climbing with my budget Tess rogue. It's not tier 1-2 but with some luck you can beat almost any deck and every game is different. 

Fucking hell, was almost rank 3 with a win streak playing evolve shaman. Then suddenly I face only secret mages, I can't get any decent evolve anymore and they top deck three times fireball to kill me. I mean come on... I can understand unlucky, but when unlucky becomes the rule something is fishy...

Priest is without contest the most disgusting class, im so done with them. Just feck off!

You know that crane game where you put the quarter in and it is "play until you win"? That is what this game has become. Doesn't matter what deck you play. Doesn't matter how good or bad you play. The game will literally spoon feed you (or your opponent) perfect cards on curve, discover the best cards, and make it so that RNG effects hit perfectly. You will eventually average somewhere close to a 50% win rate which is their stated goal. 

In pro wrestling the outcomes of the matches are predetermined yet millions tune in each week to watch. This game is no different. 

Not salty but some really crazy RNG. 

Anybody mind telling me what are the odds that a Spellslinger gives both players a Spirit Lash?

Deleted Hearthstone finally. The game does not get better and the new adventure is already old, since it is the same dungeon run as before. Also, I found a legendary in my pack, I got fucking Armagedillo. I do not play warrior, but I do get fucking warrior trash oftentimes, though it does not matter anymore.

The streak continues. 46 highlander decks. 46 have had Reno, kaza, and zephyrs by turn 6. Anyone want to hazard a guess at the odds here? Inb4 hur dur your sample size is too small.

I know an ultra omega good fucking programmer and I showed him the posts of all these tin foil hats posting the same old drivel over and over without giving actual facts.

And all he said was "Are these people brain damaged". He cant understand how people can just post the same crap without any credible evidence

Took a year off from hearthstone, so many classic card nerfs I missed.  I had 5 preps, 2 of them gold (i knew that shit would be nerfed one day).  A bunch of mana worms and nourishes, etc.  Rest in pieces... 

Every expansion there's some broken deck that all the lame, sad fucks play that you see over and over and over again. This expansion the lame little fuck prize goes to... anyone playing quest Shaman. You pathetic little turds.

Whoever designed Omega Devastator should be fired.

You add +1/+1 to Vilespine Slayer, reduce its cost by 1, AND give it Rush??? How poorly at balancing can you possibly be??
