Hunter for me. No matter how much control you have on the field, if you're already too low, then it's a ticking time for you. You opp will just hero power every f'king turn till you're dead
Exactly. I totally accept that the dynamic tension between aggro and control should be about whether, as the control deck, you can steal control of the game before hitting zero life.
Hunter just laughs at this and finishes you off regardless of the fact that you own the board. It starts hitting face far too early for the whole experience to be fun for my liking.
Zoolock is tolerable. It's annoying because they pretty much never have a bad draw (I know, doomguard x 2 + soulfire or something can happen, but very unlikely), but they can be beat, especially since they are hurting themselves.
Hunter is by far my most hated. It's so hard to survive long enough for you to get your late game threats out, and even when you do, they just Hunter's Mark it and kill it off with one of their super cheap terrible minions. It barely seems to matter if they get a good or bad draw (basically, if they get Undertaker or not), because of that hero power.
My win rate vs hunter this month is something like 35-40%, and I'm at rank 7. Also, I do not have fun playing priest, and I do not have Grommash, so any warrior deck I build would suffer heavily against any non-aggro deck. If I had Grommash, I'm sure I'd play control warrior and have a lot more fun vs hunter, but alas, I choose to stick with non-miracle rogue, so I'm #foreverbad =(

Playing against priest is the most frustrating, depressing and unfun experience in this game, no matter the outcome. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE control decks, playing against paladin or warrior is lovely. But Anduin and his thoughsteals, sm's, cabals and the like.. It's just annoying. And the worst thing is that the priest is actually played a ton after naxx.
Just wait until after GvG, when they're stealing everything with Shrinkmeister shenanigans haha.

I don't really get annoyed when I see I'm facing any particular class. I know what my opponent is (likely) going to play, and it's my job to counter it.
That said, Control Pally is my least favorite match-up.

For me this matchup not so awful at all. I have one Facelles, one MC, two Deaths and Rag. Enough to deal with all giants. Also one Silence for Drakes. Why you experience problems with it?
ok I got killed in turn 5 with perfect hand undertaker zoo, nothing I could do about it. Balanced
even aoe is not answer on creepers +eggs
Yeah that's actually the point of deathrattle summons. It allows you to flood the board and not loose to AoE. This benifits aggro and token decks quite a bit, so from the design of naxx it was clear that Blizzard wanted more aggro in the meta.
The thing I don't like about hunter is the time limit on the game. You're have to play the game by their rules and you've got a limited amount of time. Freezing trap is a bore to play around too... what if... Stonetusk Boar was tech?!?
In my opinion it is a bit unfair to hate zoo-warlock and hunter. First, especially the warlock can easily be countered and secondly these are the 2 decks which everyone can get. Most people who are complaining about these 2 decks hide themselves behind 3-6 legendaries which new players just don't have. While the cards in a warlock or hunter deck are very achieveable. For myself I allways played a self-made hunter beast-deck but since the nerf of unleash the hounds + the buzzard I also had to change to something different like the zoo-warlock and hunter deathrattle. Didn't have a choice without wanting to spend money or much more time into the game and yes I also have other decks which I play frequently but they are not as successfull without the legendaries. (my decks are allways self-made but of course you are inspired by peoples which whiped the floor with you in a game)
Alltogether, the class I dislike to fight the most is the priest by far. Matchups against him just take 10mins longer and are not harder than other enemies..

Who can take your trash out? Stomp it down for you? Shake the plastic bag and do the twisty thingy, too?

Get Zoo'ed Fool!

Zoo, boring to play, boring to play against, absolutely dreadful to watch at tournaments.
Randuin Wyrnn is easily one of the funnest decks in the game, its fun to play and play against all this hate for priests, PJSalt for all these haters

I'm right now in the same boat. So awful matchup

I bring life and pffffffffffffff!

You know I thought there would never be a deck I hated more than zoo - then deathrattle hunter happened...
How to become ∞ at arena: - practice, practice, win, dominate, profit.
20K G's saved up every new expansion.
Frost mage and Handlock are the worst for me since I'm currently laddering with zoo.
I don't mind Hunter or Zoo, only hero I hate going up against is Mage. Secret mage and Freeze mage is the bane of my existence.
