After a number of games against Warlocks, I can say that as a Control player I do not like being on the receiving end of Tickatus. Feels like I'm being punished for enjoying slow Control decks. There just isn't anything fun about not being able to play my own cards and watching them get destroyed while I cannot do anything about it.
Blizzard has always hated control and promoted aggro and combo decks above everything else. Even Zephrys and Alex have been nearly destroyed by algorithm changes and a nerf respectively.
The lack of interrupts and blockers alone should tell you the game designer's priorities and preferred playstyles.
Can't catch a break tonight. I like to make my own decks, and I feel like they're reasonably well designed, but they lose to a lot of the random aggro and burn decks that are floating around. Or my opponent just lurches ahead and I feel like I don't have a good response.
I built a pretty good mage deck of my own design about 2 months ago, and got pretty high up with it. But I'm not having the same luck with the newer decks I'm making.
Get a mage down to 3 health (I have 30). He throws out Solarian Prime who promptly casts Puzzle Box....immediately clears board and gets lethal on me.......and Puzzle Box wasn't even done casting.

FUN AND ENGAGING!!!
In Hearthstone I am not sure what the R in RNG stands for. It sure as shit isn't random.

In fairness, it was definitely the most lopsided puzzle box I've ever seen. Nothing but monster face spells back to back to back; the odds of me seeing anything like that again are probably less than .1%
I can get consistent 6 - 8+ wins in casual Duels. But the MINUTE I set foot in Heroic using the same fucking starter deck I used on my last run, I get slaughtered getting only 1 win.
This shit new battle pass combined with getting 15-20 of your cards burned every game may just be the end for me. I keep wondering how this game can get any worse and it somehow manages to beat my expectations every time. I feel like such a mug for helping keep this game afloat.

Yep, sounds about right.
Kinda like how how I find myself start a run on a 7 - 0 run and find an amazing pool of legendaries which are the finishing touches on an amazing build composition only to go 1 - 3 because my mulligan in EVERY GAME left me with the most expensive cards in my deck which were pretty to look at as I helplessly watch my opponent build a board and smash me in the face.

Could not agree more... I spend 3000 fucking bucks on this game, and just see my deck go up in smoke - How, freaking, fucking, fun... How on fucking earth Tickatus became a thing is beyond me .... Im out for good now.... This was the nail in the coffin..
like fkn last 5 expansion face hunter is the same shit. Okay fkn idiots at team 5 it is fkn time to nerf it don't you think? it is fkn aggro meta but worst thing about it is the same fkn aggro decks all the time nothing new about them.
So I said I think this is it and now I am certain. Just played 3 games and they were all just boring. Mindless wins are no better than mindless losses. Take thought and strategy out of the game and you take my interest away as well. Being spoon fed perfect cards on curve may make new players feel like they are naturally good at the game but as a veteran player I am just bored with it. The first royal flush on the river is amazing. 100 royal flushes on the river in a row and it just becomes old. Unless they can adjust the program to make it seem less scripted I don't think I'll waste anymore time on this game.
I have never paid real money to play this game. However if they offer a version without the bullshit matchmaking system/ZTG programming where RNG effects are actually random I would consider paying real money for it. Until then I have better shit to do with my time than watch games play on autopilot.
Pretty damn sick of totem shaman winning on turn 4. The ability to expand your board and make it bigger is just so obnoxious for certain decks to deal with. I was playing a VERY aggressive aggro deck, and got outdamaged and outtempoed like I wasn't doing anything. I probably have to refine my list more, but then it comes down to... "Oh, I don't have this random epic from 6 months ago that would tie this deck together." And considering the amount of money I've spent on this game... it's just frustrating.
In fact there is so much high roll, and so much completely broken aggro at this point it's really taking the fun out of all the great, cool new stuff they added. Who can even think of playing an old god if you're losing on turn 4?
God I hate DH and Hunters. Aggro meta is so trash. Hope to curve out and just smash face lol theres zero thought in these decks. They just play themselves. Whats even the point? Damn you Smorcs!!

If you want to post your list I'd love to take a look at it, just out of curiosity. I main mage and I used to make my own decks a lot more, but lately have just been net-decking from my favorite streamer. Kinda miss making my own lists and could use a little inspiration :)

Fuck wild druid weenie spam w/ embiggen. That shit is 60% of the ranked queue and it is toxic as fuck. 3 turn games are not fun AT ALL.

I miss the days when all there was to complain about was Dr. Boom being OP.

love how you try to play all these fun high cost cards, only for games to be over before reaching said high elixir. lol what's the point
How many hearthstone devs does it take to fix a lightbulb? Doesn’t matter, they can’t balance the ladder
