Lost in 5 turns to DH, then back to back 6 turns to hunter. You literally have to draw perfect cards on curve to do that. Which is now the norm.
Had to edit as I just lost in 7 turns to Shaman when he managed to summon 7 minions (yes his board was empty) on turn 6 including two Sea Giants then upgraded them all. Again only possible with a perfect draw including having Boggspine Knuckles on turn 5.
Catering to the new player to convince them that they are good has ruined a once great game.
Also Blizzard should add "will always be in your opening hand" to Carnival Clown and Sludge Slurper.
Had three very fun games in a row: 1. Game vs Mage got my whole board frozen turns 6-10, to be otk´ed turn 10. 2. Game dead turn 5 against DH, despite playing a one drop. But got mana burned on Turn 3 & 4, to lose all my tempo. 3. Game vs Druid, who played overgroth turn 1. Also he tole my minions with Yogg and than Cirus Clown into survival of the fittest.
Words can’t describe how so fucking sick and tired I am of losing every game to bullshit top deck, bullshit top deck, bullshit top deck to 3, 4, 5, 6 games in a row. In what fucking universe is this suppose to be skillful and fun? I’m fucking tired of it you bullshit company! I’m tired of playing well and being spat in the fucking face because you think it’s unfair for players especially bad players to have to fucking think! Fuck you’re equality and grow a brain and stop non stop catering to these people you greedy trash company! Man have you sold your soul Bli$$. I hope your now soy and blue haired girl infested company is worth it now that you have all those green backs!
Man, for all the other problems with the game right now, how da fug does Blizzard still make so many mistakes with card templating?
I was losing badly going for my 10th win in a duels run (pretty decent IMO, given that I was using a pre-DMF deck), so I copied my opponent's Bonecrusher with a Mask of Mimicry, expecting to get 2 random deathrattle minions after I ran it into their taunt minion.
Nope, nada, despite the card saying nothing about the minions that died having to be friendly minions (though, actually, that makes me think of a juicy combo you could get with this card, provided you have some way to play two of them like Faceless Manipulator, but I digress). I believe some cards these days make you assume that they had to be friendly, but I'm sure that others don't - and sure enough, checking Da Undatakah, it specifically mentions that the minions that died had to be friendly.
While I was definitely in a very losing position anyway, I'm a bit annoyed that they didn't just squeeze the word 'friendly' in there so you don't have to figure it out first hand.
Imagine explaining to returning players (if any) that aggro can now outdraw combo and control and there is a reliable neutral 2 mana draw card that isn’t a 1/1 and draws up to 3 cards... Gonna give us any fuckin nerfs Bli$$ard?

Voracious Reader is a problematic card and just generally way too good for its role (aggro reload). Way back when they tried to use this effect it was a worse effect (mirrored), and cost 2 extra mana for only 1 extra health (Jeeves) - and even then, I think it occasionally got run in aggro decks.
Sometimes it seems like Blizz has totally disregarded their previous philosophies on power creep, among others (like hand/deck disruption) in order to print cards at a new power level that'll get people excited.
Made a deck for the achievement "not so lonely", control a redeemed pariah with 10 attack or higher. Terrible deck and you want to play against a slow deck.
I played against 12 demon hunters, 2 rogues and one shaman, all aggroface.
Switched to normal ranked deck, next two opponents priest and control warrior.
Imagine my opp playing yogg and it ever doing anything but winning them the game. Funny how it’s always a Hail Mary and it always pays off! Imagine that!
Duels is also frustrating. Getting through wins 1 to about 3 or 4 is basically "please let me dodge the people that have gone completely aggro and included cards that will be garbage in the later rounds".
I know it's a coincidence but it seems ever since the progression system changed, ranked mode has been an impossible 50/50 slog through shit even through bronze.

With ZTG Blizzard pulled back the curtain and revealed the programming that we have all been saying existed but the fanboys claimed was impossible - reading the board and choosing the best card. This programming controls every single aspect of the game. There is nothing random in Hearthstone.
This is fucking amazing. I'm positive my account is tagged for BG bad luck. I don't play at all very often anymore, but I was at 7.5k, and in the last couple weeks playing very casually I am down to 6.7k.
If there's a 66.6% that I need at the end of the fight, I ALWAYS miss it. I'm not even being Kripp here, it is literally ALWAYS. If I get an early 5 discover or even heaven forbid a 6-discover, it is ALWAYS a brick. The damage range on deck tracker when you lose a fight? I ALWAYS take more than the highest number in the range. If I'm 100% to win? I ALWAYS deal less than the low range. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME!
EXCEPT for this last game I just played. On turn 9 I had a triple Nomi and a Lil' Rag. On turn 12? I lost to the ghost of the guy who came in 6th place. He finished in 6th on Turn 10. I was fucking HUGE. He was 80% to win.
It just doesn't make any fucking sense at all.
I need someone to coach me if only so that my streak of bad luck will end. There's no way it will be this bad with someone watching.
BLIZZARD CAN YOU PLEASE FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT AGGRO DH. Most infuriating shit in the world. Routinely killed by turn 6 because they have everything. Snowbally 1-drop, check. Cheap card draw, check. Cheap burst damage, check. Cheap weapon with a powerful battlecry? Check (seriously, a 3-mana blood razor with an immediate effect that only targets enemies AND goes face??). Ability to overload you for 2 by playing a 1-mana spell? Check. And stilt stepper, perhaps an even dumber card than Soulshard Lapidary, is just the icing on the cake.
The whole class was a mistake, and that's been obvious since AoO, but it's really frustrating when an interesting new expansion drops and the meta is totally taken over by cheap aggro nonsense that is able to kill non-control / non-taunt-heavy decks with neutral 1-drops supported by DH's busted HP and busted card draw. Shit is ridiculous. I understand the need to play the meta and adjust your decks, but something is very wrong when a deck with a curve like that is able to win 60% of their games.

You forgot to mention 1 mana cost hero power that can just keep chipping away.
It ain’t just DH I’m sick of, it’s the same old face Hunter archetype since day fucking 1. Few new additions in it over the years but it’s basically the same shit. Total bore fest. The whole classic set needs a rework in my opinion.

I mentioned their busted HP. Particularly offensive that it's a +1 to equipped weapons, given how they nerfed that interaction in Rogue way back in the day.
I don't struggle as much with face hunter, even though it's annoying.

I am seeing face hunters running two owls. Silences any taunts and activates Death's Bite. Which they always draw for lethal.

Had to edit as I just lost in 7 turns to Shaman when he managed to summon 7 minions (yes his board was empty) on turn 6 including two Sea Giants then upgraded them all. Again only possible with a perfect draw including having Boggspine Knuckles on turn 5.

God the first few days of every month are so aweful if you don't enjoy aggroing through ladder...

Had a really good time playing...
They fixed this! \o/ And the On A Roll achievement! \o/
Too bad they reset my win streak. (:

Why is ever deck atm aggro demon hunter and why is every single one of them roping the fuck out of the game.

The last 5 attempts at tavern(including the one I'm doing right now)
Opponent: Anub 3+3 to all minions in hand turn one play, things that ALWAYS summon a minion for them, steals my own
Me: gives them minions, heals them, silences my minions......
