There's too much OTK stuff in my opinion. Most of the games I have played in last 1-2 weeks have been about cycling through decks, not caring about board state at all and just trying to combo off. It's really boring to play a game when one of the players is not engaged in the game at all and is not interacting with anything you do.
To me, this meta is terrible, full of viable OTK decks that have strategies that don't care about what the opponent does.
:(
Coming from a player who mostly mains OTK & combo decks in wild I'm not sure why you guys act like otk & combos don't interact with their opponent. Interaction isn't just focused on board presence each turn and micro-managing minion trades (that is only looking at interaction through the lens of a control playstyle). You think I can win games with a 7-9 card combo (almost a third of my deck being full of 'dead' cards) by just cycling and not caring what my opponent does? You have to actually survive against opponents. And how do you survive against opponents? You have to actually interact with their threats (You know, removing them like how control decks remove threats?) Destroying minions with effects, spells, & weapons is interaction last time I checked. Otherwise, by that definition control is just as non-interactive because they are all about stalling & removal.
Exactly this! I was wondering when somebody who knew what they were talking about was going to say this. Well said.
I'm having an absolute blast with control priest. That deck is bonkers and shrugs hunters off like they're nothing.
Even paladin is really fun too and never unfavored against hunter. There are so many decks you can play. Sure you face a lot of hunters, but none of them are unbeatable.

I'm tired of hunters...
from the last 50 games I played, 18 were against them... That's more than 1/3 and I feel it's quite a lot.
I don't like having to change my deck only to make it viable to the most common deck around.
aoe aoe aoe otk what a nice design and interactive game
Ahem, defile, hellfire, godfrey, Gul'Dan, ping, ping, ping.
Control mains should learn to reflect on their own interactive practices before calling out OTKs for being "non-interactive".
Or perhaps most players have the definition of interaction wrong.
