shut up. every single ladder deck cheats in some way.
otk druid and paladin is ok, 5 mana 2 5/5 with rush is ok, fucking curpoon defender and n'zoth is ok but 3 random 4 mana minions on turn 4 is unacceptable?

correct, that is unacceptable. Worse even on turn 3 or paired with a flesshaper.
Ladder was so horrible then because this matchup was polarising, and decided by whether or not the mage drew reno for turn 6. Pirate warrior was a joke of deck that really hurt this game for a while. It was bad because it put pressure on early and there were no viable answers (other than reno - and if reno was played, the warrior insta-conceded as it had no sustain).
I honestly thought we'd never see hearthstone in a state as degeneratively bad as that again - but desert hare into evolve has taken us there. Yes it's a temporary situation, I get that, but it's still intolerable. Thankgod for Battlegrounds is all I can say, and if you don't like the new mode, for whatever reason, I feel really sorry for you. You probably aren't playing the game right now at all, cause why would you?
There is no reason for the situation to remain like this, evolve should have been removed almost straight away, bringing it back, unlike the others cards, was a huge mistake (For what it's worth, I liked that you tried to freshen the meta with old cards, it was a good idea). Making mistakes is ok, but you have to correct them asap Bliz, I thought you were learning from past mistakes, not repeating them? React. React already, jesus.
I literally dont play the game since the BG open beta. that gamemode is too boring for me, but ladder is just straight trash as well. didnt do a single quest in weeks, even tho i should probably farm for the next DLC. the game is the worst rn, since i started playing (ungoro).
FYI those saying there have been worse metas - I play since the start, I'm no noob, I've seen them all. Also I didn't say worst ever - just the worst meta for a very long time. Sure Huntertaker, Myst-Chal Paladin, Aggro Shaman, Jade Druid...there have been some horrible metas, but this one also makes the list, and honestly, given Blizzard's recent apporach to buffs/nerfs/rotation I didn't think they'd allow it to fester like this once again. I thought Blizz had turned a new leaf...
To just say "people always moan every expansion"...no...understand, this meta goes in the list of worst metas OAT. Turn 4 BS of this magnitude is special.
Situation is not helped by the current state of Wild with Snip-Snap either.
Arena and BGs are currently the only playable modes, if you want to have fun anyway.
I think it's better than spellstone hunter vs control priest meta. That was some major BS. And now near the end of the season, I'm actually enjoying playing Highlander mage after giving it a go (it's been awhile since I've enjoyed a deck this much, or played mage for that matter).
They knew that’s why they put the old cards in. And the meta was shite before doom in tomb, quest shaman was still the thing but the meta was pretty stale... now it’s worse though. SoU 1/5
To everyone saying meta x was worse I disagree. To have like one, two or three cards in the deck which outclass all others by miles in a combination is always bad. The game becomes just about drawing them and getting lucky with the evolves. I guess that is why the example of reno was given and in fact it is not just shaman in the meta. zephrys and reno in highlander mage or zephrys in highlander hunter fulfil the same noob friendly bullshit. at least For zephrys you have planning to do I guess. Only if it is difficult to determine in each situation which resource from your hand is best to use, there is an element of skill in this game. I don‘t remember these decisions mattering less than right now. games are won and lost dimply by drawing desert hare evolve and some fleshshapers and only a tiny fraction is decided otherwise. AND I am afraid it gets worse with those dragon combinations and galakrond. If I am right we are in for a tough ride.

I have indeed stopped playing the game since a couple of weeks ago, while I started playing in the vanilla days. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the state of the meta but I just cannot find the motivation to play anymore. I've played BG's for two weeks but that got a bit boring then too.

Nothing new under the sun. Move along.

You think THIS meta is bad ? Wait until Kronxstone
C'mon it's fun to play 20 N'Zoths in a row as a Rogue!
yep
