Hello, I don't know why but this season I cannot pass the rank 17! I've finished most of the seasons at least at rank 5 but now seem impossible, I have a cubelock, a kingsbane mill, big priest and I can build many others and I know I'm not this bad, so what's wrong? is it a meta that still I haven't understood? Please no noob answers, thanks!
Impossible to tell based on this post alone. You'll have to post some replays. Perhaps you're only thinking about your own game plan and not adjusting your win condition to play against your opponents'?

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
I'm very aware of the decks and as I can build them or I have played a lot against, I know all the cards and possible strategies, I also have to say that I have the feeling that every deck I choose to use I'm more often against the best counter decks, I don't want to seem paranoid or say conspiranoics things about blizzard but I cannot help having this feeling
its happening to me too.Usually reaching rank 2 and this season i am stucked HARD at 14.And with hard i mean hard.i tried different decks but nothing i can do against perfect topdecks. WHen a meta becomes stale RNG plays the game. thats the reason that many of us are stucked right now unless you are blssed from rng god and climb 4 ranks in one hour to get out from there.
I've actually had a much easier climb than normal. I'm playing spiteful priest which seems to be really strong. I'm rank 9 right now and I've only lost a handful of games this season. Give spiteful priest a try.
Your not the only one buddy! The meta has been ALL over the place since the nerfs. I got up to 12 pre nerf and fell all the way back down to 15 0 stars after the nerfs. I've yet to find a deck performing really well for me. I play aggro/murloc pally I get cubelocks with ALL their board clears. I play Secret Mage I get the old 1 one lose 1 thing. I play Spiteful Priest with a few changes and also the win 1 lose 1. I've started trying zoo. So far it's getting also the 1 win lose 1 thing.
So it's not just you. The meta is just really all over the place since the nerfs.
I understand you. I had a really difficult time climbing this season, though I am using only Shaman and Rogue (those are the last two classes I need for golden heroes). With Rogue, I too am only playing Kingsbane mill, and generally I do pretty well with deck (auto win against any priest, even the old highlander raza priest before nerf). I have a lot of experience playing with the deck and frequently reach fatigue and beat my opponent with a huge weapon. But it loses pretty hard to mages which is a good percentage of the meta. So I made a shaman deck that does well against Warlock and is teched with Eater of Secrets for mage, and it absolutely wrecks them. Then I run into priests. They are also a pretty large part of the meta and for that deck, it's an auto loss to nearly any priest deck. So I'm stuck in this crappy rock/paper/scissors meta against warlocks, mages, and priests and couldn't pass rank 16.
Then I got a daily quest to win 5 shaman games and decided that I wanted fast games. I dusted off my old Quest Shaman and played wild. Faced a lot of standard meta decks there but crushed them all. I hit a 7 or 8 win streak and obviously completed my quest in very short order. I was honestly waiting for my first loss, but even against a priest and a warlock that cleared my board 4 times each, I beat them. Though it really helps when Megafin gives you Old Murk Eye or Sir Finley (hunter or warlock hero power).
If you're playing warlock, perhaps try zoo. I've read that some players were similarly stuck but took zoo to rank 5 in a few hours.

why not try wild mode with the same decks from standard?you can try climb there and see how it goes
I've never played wild and I'm conscious that if youre not used you cannot climb up to 5 like that, you need a good knowledge of the meta
Yeah as a Wild main, the meta in Wild is even more all over the place right now. But have had some success with Big Spell Mage this season. Was stuck at rank 12 and now currently sitting at rank 7. Seems to do really well against Kingsbane Mill and Cubelock.
got the same problem. last season i finished at rank 3 but since the nerf i can´t even get out of 15. neither with zoolock, spiteful priest or big priest. i catched myself loosing some matches because of some bad misplays but that´s probably 10%. it´s very frustrating.
Below rank 15 is just a big big mess. Dont matter what deck you try to drive something trys to eat you alive always. I made out of the mess with a basic Midrange Hunter and switched it after rank 15 to various Priest decks. Try something simple to get out of the mess, after it will be much better
I have been able to claw my way to 10, mostly in two really long days. It has been a nightmare, mainly because the only deck I can seem to keep moving forward with has been control warlock. It has a positive win rate .. but at the expense of 15+ minute long games. Against tempo mages, I may as well auto concede, but everything else I at least feel like I have a shot.

I wanna glide down, over Mulholland I wanna write her, name in the sky I wanna free fall, out into nothin' Gonna leave this, world for awhile
Been said already but when the meta is a mess best advice is solid tempo/aggro that tries to require near perfect draws from opposing decks and wins by turn 7-8. Losses will happen but patience + more games will get you through it.
I'd recommend midrange hunter, it's one of my go-to's when the meta is hard to pin down.

My guess is RNG is messing around with you recently. Just be patient, keep an eye on what you face the most and try to counter queue.
It happened many times but I always had the firm idea that was just the RNG, now I feel that any of my decks can make it
Im not sure, maybe I can spectate some games? Just add me if you want to.. check private message
its happening to me too.Usually reaching rank 2 and this season i am stucked HARD at 14.And with hard i mean hard.i tried different decks but nothing i can do against perfect topdecks.

Best quotes:
"Casual is perfectly fine"
"warlock is not overpowered"
"Playing odd paladin just to test it"
I've actually had a much easier climb than normal. I'm playing spiteful priest which seems to be really strong. I'm rank 9 right now and I've only lost a handful of games this season. Give spiteful priest a try.
