Holy living hell this meta is so aggressive... I am forced to play a class that has taunt and heal because I just played against like 4 face hunters in a row and then I finally get a rogue and they have the 2 of the 2/1 deathrattle deal 3 to enemy hero and just charge minions... Why is this meta so aggressive? if not dying by turn 5 I die by turn 9 cuz 2x galakrond...
It is a natural shift in the meta caused as a reaction to the abundnce of Galakrond shaman. Decks have now shifted into being more aggressive in an effort to beat shaman before it goes off. Once shaman gets nerfed there will be a lot more space for slower decks which will eventually cause aggeo to go away (or at least reduce in quantity)
You can't beat the tempo of Galakrond Shaman, so it has distorted the meta around it. Things will somewhat normalize but to what extent is unknown, and quite frankly given the track record of years of balancing, I don't have my hopes up. Props if you do, but you're not living in reality.

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
I hate aggressive metas too. The gameplay is just go face and win or try to save your face and win, but without having any fun from playing a deck that is just filled with answers. Although I’m playing some aggro right now due to lack of time for longer games.
Its fine that aggro is back. It was shit and got stomped for like 4 Expansions now... There are also *braindead* and *stupid* (or however you wanna call it) ppl like me that enjoy playing aggro.
I kinda started to be okay with the meta. But that doesn't make the nerfs less desired (it happens that I have a bunch of Faceless Corruptors including a golden one).
Shaman has its counters - Face Hunter as stated above, but also the Highlander Mage and the Deathrattle rouge (which I started to play yesterday). I'm more curious with that in the meta at Rank 5 and 4 (EU) I see few Shamans.
I think face hunter meta is easier to handle than Galakron shaman. Most control decks struggled against Galakron Shaman due to the constant pressure, and facehunter will eventually run out of steam if you heal/taunt enough.
This expansion is a fucking embarrassment. It main theme is supposed to be dragons but the meta so far is only composed of galakrond shaman and fucking aggro decks.
Shaman gonna be nerfed next meta and meta will switch.
That is supposed to happen this week, so until Sunday at the latest point. I am holding on to my 8k dust until that, crafting anything will start to make more sense once we know if Galakrond Shaman still makes sense (e.g for a Golden Kronx) or rather Highlander decks (Golden Alexstrasza)

It's not fine. I hate your type. I wish Hunter was erased from Hearthstone all together. Mentally challenged class.

At least I’m not the only one farming the shamans with highlander mage lol. I don’t mind the aggro too much either with all of the removal at my disposal

Face hunter is answer for shamanstone.

Team 5 are incompetent. It's pretty obvious.
Cryboys are gonna cry.
