Its weird, pure paladin has much higher winrate than druid but doesnt feel nearly as opressive to me, i wonder why. Maybe cuz its a deck that can still run out of gas, druid will always throw his entire deck at you EVERY game, gives me Ultimate Infestation ptsd.
That because Druid have few explosive turns if you manage to counter those turns them for 2 or 3 turn they run out of gas but libram paladin doesn't have explosive turns it simply oppress you by lying down one or two big minions and healing themselves each turn so it doesn't run out of gas.
Today, I played around 20 games and every single one of them was paladin or druid, never have I ever seen this kind of prevalence, not even in midrange shaman times or pirate warrior or combo druids. Never have I ever played 20 games only facing 2 classes

It is very hard for other classes compete with 2 manas 11/13 or 7 manas Ultimate Infestation.
Druid and paladin need to be massively overnerfed very fast.
If you can counter Guardian Animals turns your odds of victory increase a lot. Hunter traps, saps, big removals (warrior or priest have some of them) or early threats can counter those turns.
Paladin is more consistent but have little draw.
There is a card that colud be used to counter both decks: Bad Luck Albatross.
In the next few days you will see Aggro priest take a swing on Pallys and Druids. Next week knife juggler will make a comeback in hunter midrange decks.
next month you will see two decks emerge: shielded palla and quick draw otk Warrior.

Maybe it's because over the years I've seen worse but honestly, I don't feel like either Druid or Paladin are super oppressive. They both have weaknesses and both are beatable if you know your matchup. They just feel like strong decks to me. I'm okay with strong decks.

remember where you read it first.
I've been using aggro priest with pretty solid effect: definitely positive (or at least even) winrate against both of these decks.
I think an awful lot of this complaining isn't that these decks can't be beat, it's that certain people's favored decks can't beat them. People seem to be of the mindset that "I really like the idea of this deck, but it's not winning very much, so we need to nerf the decks I can't beat." That idea is goofy: it's always been the case that certain types of decks simply cannot easily beat other types. Play a slow control deck, you're probably going to lose to a combo deck. Get over it.
I'm enjoying my aggro priest deck, but I'm getting crushed by spell power mages. Don't think I've won a single match against them. Maybe it's bad draws, but I think it's just a reality of the deck I'm playing. So be it.

That’s weird cuz I’ve played over 30 games and every single one of them were either Rogue, Priest, or Warlock.
Put weird into this, priests I see two today but rogue or warlock I don't see in ages.
IMO druid is easier to counter than paladin

Then bam egg hunter comes outta nowhere.
Keymaster Alabaster come faster

@ OP: Not even close.
