I'm sorry to say this but I'm not sorry that Brode and Chu are leaving. They're both great guys but they let Hearthstone sh*t the bed.
Face facts: the current situation is terrible. You can disagree but you'd be wrong. The meta now is literally Odd Paladin. One deck. Period. Odd. Paladin.
So yeah, whatever happens, I think a shake-up at the top is a good thing.
Brode and Chu are/were high profile paid professional game designers working on a massively popular game but maybe the rando hearthpwn scrub is more knowledgeable about game design who's to say.
Alright, for one thing, Ben and Hamilton haven't done much actual design in years, and what's more, there are well over a dozen competitive decks at the moment. Your complaints are completely unfounded, you're just spouting mindless negativity. Please, just shut up.
OH MY GOD ARE YOU TELLING ME ITS THE SECOND WEEK OF A NEW STANDARD YEAR AND THERE'S A REALLY STRONG AGGRO DECK THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TECH AGAINST OMFG THIS GAME IS SO BUSTED THIS IS HOW THE META WILL ALWAYS BE FOR ALL TIME FOREVER HEARTHSTONE IS DEAD ITS ALL BEN BRODES FAULT I'M GLAD HE'S LEAVING BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT'S EVER GONE EVEN SLIGHTLY WRONG WITH THE GAME IS 100% HIS FAULT AND NEVER THE FAULT OF THE ALMOST 100 OTHER PEOPLE ON THE TEAM AND DEFINITELY NOT THE FAULT OF ANY OTHER INTERNAL (blizzard) OR EXTERNAL (whining idiots) FORCES AND HOPE HE DIES IN A FIRE WAAAAAAAHHHH

This vitriol is exactly why I am glad they are leaving. Neither of them deserve the amount of garbage the vocal minority gives them. I wish them the best and hope they are treated far better at their next jobs.
Hey man. I understand. The pain... the anger. No one understands you. Everybody loves Brode so no one understands what it's like to feel the way you do. That feeling can break a man. Bring him to his knees till you reach the point where you've just had enough. You might yell at your computer, perhaps beat your keyboard and search for the fucking "W" key that disappears every time. Yo man, I get it.
However, you are not alone. Let me help you find your way back. Join my group and let's talk about it.
Odd paladin is not the only deck being played right now, and if you think Brode is the only reason for the current meta then you are dumber than your post makes you sound (which is pretty dumb).

Well actually... YOU are wrong... not because I said so... But because of the facts... Odd Paladin is 5th behind Even Paladin, Cubelock, Spiteful Druid, and Murlock Paladin. Before you go onto a message board and show everyone how ignorant you are check the facts. https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/meta-snapshot/standard/2018-04-23
You have to understand that, as a game director, Ben Brode didn't had much say in the design process. There were times during reveal streams in which he couldn't remember what a certain card did (because he doesn't even get to play that much with them during test periods). There's also an interview regarding the Shudderwock situation in which Brode happened to see one of the Saronite + Shudderwock combo's and asked the team to do something about it because it wasn't good for the game (to which they replied: "lol nope").
The one's responsible for the current meta situation are other guys (and there are a lot of them... the design team is composed of more parts than one would think) and note Ben Brode or Chu. So yeah, them leaving isn't gonna do much regarding the meta (probably).
Pd: If you're having SUCH trouble against one specific deck you just have to tech hard against it. Play decks with AoE's, weapon removals and such.
Yes, they are many odd paladins. But there are plenty of even palas as well. I dont know what rank are you now but I also see plenty of cube/control locks, spiteful druids/priests and hadronox druids too. Even big mages.

I am sorry to say this, but nobody asked you what you feel about them.Cheers
I won't ever forgive brode after what he did with naga sea witch

I'm sorry to say this, but if you really think Odd Paladin is the only deck that is seeing play/succes on ladder, you know nothing about this game.
Also Ben Brode isn't responsible for game balancing or card creation, so you're just being a dick basically.
I was facing many odd paladin decks. So i started do play taunt druid and won 5, 6 games a row.
If you dont like the decks you are facing, counter them. If you are not enjoying the game, don't play.
Play wow, dota, magic, chess or whatever you want.
Peace.

If the meta was only odd paladin, quest warrior would have 99% winrate.
Quest warrior does not have 99% winrate.
Please cut the shit

Better find a new scapegoat now that Brode is leaving.
Homie just play wild and stop complaining haHAA

But most of all... be strong: Brode is gone.
