So what??? Those statistics just show that Paladin has a variety of strong decks, compared to classes like Shaman, nothing more.
Those meta tiers don't help people play better or climb the ladder better - they are just statistics that change all the time. It doesn't make Paladins, or any other class for that matter, the villains of the ladder/meta/game.
On my rank - 13 FYI - I am facing much more hunters than paladins to be honest.

Not Paladin is total domination in Hearthstome. Mindlessness is. That for now mindlessness takes the form of Paladin is really not the issue. Not for long Hunter took that throne. The question is who will take over? Glory to the target audience.
Man this means almost nothing. Hunter and Priest are still the most popular classes in the game and the reason those paladin decks are at the top is because they all perform well against the most popular class in the meta - hunter. And also 2/3 of those decks perform well against 2nd most popular class - Priest, and there you go - high winrates, makes sense. Secret and Even are greatly underplayed decks so what kind of domination are we talking about here? Domination in meta = polularity of that class, not high winrates. Hunter is still the most dominant class in the game.
So.. basically every class should only have one deck work it seems. The second it gets a second deck working, instead of a desire to have other classes also get their second deck it's "OMG the class is too strong, KIlL IT!"
Having 7 different decks at tier 1 is pretty nice. If we didn't have classes and, instead, they were just 'decks' we would probably not have a serious problem with this. Because 3 out of the 7 all have Uther's face on it, we go nuts.
Also note that two of the three decks that sparked this thread are due to cards already pegged for nerfing (Genn/Baku) so.. are we just demanding the changes NOW instead of later?
As long as it isn't a control meta, I'm okay with it. All the better.
As long as it mindless, I'm okay with it. All the better.
[Target audience]:
In Hearthstone. Marketing strategy. Molded fanbase with specified characteristics: Simple minded. Easy gratification. Simple deck strategy. Short games. Simplistic aggressive play style called spamm, buff, go-face. Alternatively simplistic OTK-strategy. Thrive by card design in polarized meta. Streetwise. Cunning and smart, but no desire for an intellectual approach. Biggest group of players.
In real live target audience would predominantly vote for populist parties. If all Americans they would vote for the sitting American president and watch Fox news. Watching CNN is considered to be too complicated : 'fake news.' Thinking gives you wrinkles. Would build a wall to keep out potential live complicating 'deck strategies.'
Like President Trump, card designers in Hearthstone know their base very well. Feel first, think later: give the people what they want. And if they start hating it, just 'nerf. ' After all, all others 'democrats' are just wallpaper for target audience to shine.
The world has to live with Trump. The non-target audience has to live with current card designers. Power to the people!
Even Paladin is still a baller. Equality nerf didn't harm it.
The decks either don't use equality or aren't dependent on a cheap equality clear to keep alive.
If the goal was to NOT screw over paladins, this was the perfect time to slam equality. And if what they say is true, come next few expansions we'll be glad they did it.

Paladin has 3 decks top of Tier 1 list according to the new report on Vicious Syndicate and also HSReplay. Paladin dominates hearthstone like a boss.
Time to start playing warlock.
ok
cool story
Wasn't Hunter the big bad last week? How time flies...

We make our world significant through the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers.
Meta domination is when t1 is entirely occupied by one deck or one class.
This is not the case. By far.
As for the meta population, Hunter and Priest are still on top.

You: "Paladin total domination!"
Also You: *Posts a screen shot displaying 4 separate classes with Tier 1 decks*
I don't think 'Total domination' means what you think it means.
Let them come. My priest deck eats them alive.
Currently midrange hunter is overplayed and priest is increasing in play rate. This will knock odd paladin off the top.
New meta hasn't settled yet.
As long as it isn't a control meta, I'm okay with it. All the better.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
Is it just me or does this look like the Wild meta?

I rarely encounter Paladin.
