When the game started, I hoped that we wouldn't get to this point... and here we are. MtG has a tried and true method of card design. Some things fall through the cracks, but they're not too shabby for a 20+ year old TCG.
HS has gone down the Yu-Gi-Oh path: Make insanely OP cards to sell the set, let players complain, and then eventually nerf it conveniently around the time to wash, rinse and repeat for the new set.

I'm sorry that some of you feel this expansion "sucks", "is too powerful", etc. My experience is that I am having a hell of a good time trying Dragonbane hunter, Shu'ma quest hunter, Galkrond shaman, Galakrond rogue, pirate warrior, treeant druid, and a few others. This meta is just a few days old. This bitching and moaning about things happens after every expansion comes out. The early powerhouses will subside as decks are refined. Keep calm, play on, and most importantly have fun. It's a game. If you aren't having fun, take a step back from it.

You are aware of the nerf announcement, are you? Maybe, just maybe, sometimes the bitching is justified. I rarely bitch (last two times were sn1p sn4p and shudder), but to be honest experimentation was NEVER as little fun as in this expansion.

I am, and that's fine. Some tweaks here and there are probably needed. This doom and gloom shit, however, is tired. The game is fine. The developers make mistakes sometimes. It happens. It doesn't mean the sky is falling. Your experience with experimentation being stifled is subjective, just like mine of enjoying things right now is subjective. My point is that out of 100 million players, the infintesimaly small amount of them represented here is not an accurate representation of the player base, and by and large it seems players are happy. Check out Reddit and other avenues for HS discussion to see what I mean. Hearthpwn is a unique community in that, overall, we are fairly whiney.

I agree with most of your points and they are well expressed. this community is sometimes having a hard time to get the complaints right. If most of the players are happy, that is also fine. Still, I feel lile expressing frustations is good feedback.
Personally, I had a shitty experience. Build 12 decks and ran into 25 / 30 shamans (7 in a row) and I went back to battlegrounds, because it was just not much fun tbh. Hope I have another shot next week.
I for one am having a hell of a time playing elemental dragon control shaman and albatross priest. Absolutely not competetive in any way but so much fun.
If the meta is stressing you out - Meme it up baby!

OP, I agree with you. This expansion has been a massive disappointment imo, and it sucks as I had very high hopes for it. Nerfing an entire class a week in is pretty brutal imo and indicates some serious issues with testing / development.

I hate to hear that, man. I enjoy the game, and I want others to enjoy it also (caveat, I am not an employee or spokesperson for Bilzzard :) )
I'm seeing shammys more than any other class, but I'm also running in to a fair bit of rogues, warriors, and druids. I feel like druids are on the rise and starting to get refined. Warriors, who I thought would be a powerhouse, are running out of steam quickly once you shut down their sky barges. Hunters are getting creative with their use of Dragonbane, Toxic Reinforcements, Phase Stalker, and that one little asshole dwarf that lets your hero power target anything.

There are around 100 million Hearthstone players.

Hate the player not the game lmao

There is only my justice now
3 days after expansion... jeez
NO ONE CARES
For the amount of money most people have paid for this expansion it should be a lot better.
I like it, just don’t like shaman
Favorite Cards: 1. Lord Jaraxxus | 2. Malygos| 3. Edwin VanCleef | 4. Zephrys the Great| 5. Deathwing
Probably 1% or less of this number is active

Again, if shaman is OP then just play it
It's not fun to play the same OP class everyone else is playing.

Play Arena, play Battlegrounds, play Wild, play Casual.
Try Standard again next week after the nerfs. It's only a few days away.

Everyone playing Shaman like it's about to get nerfed. hehe.
I am sorry but is there a list of what is good and what not?
