Something has been on my mind for a while. To me it seems that this community hates just about every viable deck. In this meta people whine about Shudderwock being broken, Dude paladin is too easy to play, Taunt paladin is BS, fuck Priest in general, Spellhunter is stupid etc. In the previous meta people hated Cubelock, even paladin and whatever decks were viable back then.
People hated Reno decks, aggressive decks and combo decks. Basically, if a deck has a somewhat reliable win condition people hated it.
E.g. Hadranox was a meme card at some point and it was so underestimated people dusted it. Now people hate the card because it got a boost with Witching hour and cubes.
So my question dear Hearthstone players: what kind of deck is it okay to lose against?
Disclaimer: I know I’ve made a lot of generalizations in this thread but the discussion got to start somewhere. :-)
I personally don't mind losing to anything besides super polarized matchups (shudderwock or kingsbane vs control) but more because you know the outcome before you even play it out

I agree. Though the few games you win against them is so damn satisfying.
People hate losing, so that's why they are hating on this and that and basically every deck. I hate losing mostly to my missplays.
But back to the topic - I like losing to stuff I didn't expected - not-a-netdeck, a tech card that messed up my combo, Grumble BC first when you play your Shudderwock, etc. I like losing, when I managed to learn something from the lost and wasn't just a total beatdown.

I don't mind losing to anything that doesn't finish the game by like turn 4. I have a Golden N'Zoth, let me cast him ffs (looking at you aggro decks). Let me play my deck, and I don't care if I win or lose.

Level 60: All classes Golden Classes: Druid, Mage, Shaman, Paladin, Warrior Highest rank: Legend, 52 (EU, obviously) Best arena: 12-0
Control Warrior (Quest variant not included). I've also liked quite a lot to play both with and against the Even Warlock recently. Generally any deck that doesn't rely on OP combos / mechanics but actually requires some thought to play. Those aren't that common in HS tho. :p I think it's the general feeling of losing to some "unfair" bullshit that makes people triggered.
I know I’m actually holding a very unpopular opinion here, but I enjoy facing Mill Rogues, they really make me think on my feet and make risky plays that I wouldn’t usually make. I’m fine losing to them too
i think that people that hated Raza/priest cubelock are the polar opposites of People tha thate aggro, the former were probably playing aggro decks to seek for some quick wins and found a thorn on their ways when control decks cleared their boards, the later were probably looking for long stretched games and had a thorn thrown on thier plans before MSG when the only archetype that blizzard officially supported was aggro i mean it wasn't until MSG,un'goro and onwards that blizzard actually gave classes proper ddefensive tools and lategame bombs.

Perhaps I should have phrased my title a bit different. I understand that meme decks are fun for most people but there will always be meta decks and you will face them in the vast majority of the games you play (sadly also in casual). So, while most of you respect losing to a meme deck is it not possible to accept a certain type of meta deck?
And isn't that a bit problematic that it is mostly fun to lose to meme decks? On average the strongest decks wins about 55 % of their games but that means you’ll have to accept 45 defeats when playing 100 games – roughly speaking of course.

Anything creative/not a netdeck.

Well, that basically excludes 95 % of your match ups then. :-D
I agree. Though the few games you win against them is so damn satisfying.
The one and only Yogg-Saron, Hope's End (which is sadly unplayable).
Anything else is on some (wide) range of saltiness.

I have nonproblem losing to net decks, clown decks or noobs are annoying to lose to.
Every deck that has a positive (or even neutral) win rate will at some point become a netdeck
i have a lot of fun to fight and/or lose to Meme/not otk combo decks

I have fun loosing to all games except stuff like exodia and mill rogue..but that's because I play warlock to much ;)

Like said before, original decks.
Sadly 0,0001% of the games.
Anything that makes me actually think because I'm not sure what's coming next and can lead to pretty long, epic battles.
Thanks for all the answers.

I like playing close non-polarized matchups where the victory (from whoever) can be traced back to a good play or strange deck choice.
