When "Shaman was King" and flooding the meta I actually found myself playing against a much wider variety of comps than the current meta... seems like everyone is rolling Rogue or Hunter right now.
Is that blizzard's intention? Seems like not that long ago we had a literal Hunterstone where hunter was far more prevalent than Shaman and hunters didn't get touched until the next rotation of cards...
Starting to wonder if someone at Blizz balance team just loves hunter
It is popular Hunter now because Shaman became slower by nerfs and it is very easy to counter him with having a healing kit.
They said they would make changes in January on Reddit.
No, that is NOT what they said. They said that they would consider making other changes, if necessary. Most people have figured out that the Meta is reasonably (not perfectly) balance right now, so I suspect a Balance patch is totally unnecessary. The Adventure will come out later this month, and that alone will shake up the Meta. It's possible to see a balance patch in Feb/Mar, but even that is not a guarantee.
OP, if you took a look at HSR, you would notice that Galakrond Warrior is the most popular deck in the game across all Ranks. And while Face Hunter is the second most popular, it's play rate (as well as it win rate) shrinks as you get to higher and higher ranks.

Thanks for the clarification, I thought it was an affirmation of a Dean Ayala tweet. It is logical that there are no changes for the new adventure with new cards.

Elo bracket I'm stuck in I'm only playing against hunters and deathrattle rogue... and I'm a win/loss/win/loss/win/loss cycle hoping I draw the cards I need to sustain vs hunter or beat down a rogue before he puts his 1 mana 9/9s on the board, which seems to happen by turn 7 far more often than I would like to see.
