All I can say is you really point out the negative perspective on all the decks you mentioned (pretty much the meta) but I enjoy a couple of those decks and in my opinion is varied enough that when I play my deck I am usually going to face multiple decks. Can you name a time in hearthstone that you didn't face a bunch of either overpowering control or aggro that ended up being fairly dominant? I'll say this, hearthstone has always been hearthstone and while some elements have grown or diminished, there will always be the ability to be negative and find it unenjoyable (I took 3 months off and came back a short time ago). So step away. Nobody is forcing you to play. Voice your complaints (like this), discuss as you like, but since they plan stuff out well in advance, nothing is going to change much for half a year, so check back in and see if it's fun for you. Otherwise, do something else with your time.
I pointed out the negatives of these decks because imo that's pretty much all they are - negative. Almost all the decks have a gimmick which is extremely un-fun to play against. Can anyone honestly say they enjoy watching a mage play twenty 0 mana spells then re-fill their hand with random spells all while freezing or destroying your board? What about a druid ramping into guardian animals while you're on turn 4? There's no skill and no interaction. Face rogue - you cant attack their minions and you minions mostly dont matter. Bomb warrior - kill them before the bombs kill you?
I actually think Hearthstone has historically been pretty good at balancing the control/aggro relationship. Sure there were some blips, but even when face hunter was a thing there was some usable neutral healing and hunters did run out of resources (after the starving buzzard nerf). Maybe this is all rose coloured glasses though.
It's true you could focus on a deck you enjoy and concede when you meet decks which you know will stomp all over you. But what's the point? You're not really playing the game and part of the enjoyment for me has always been about trying to tune my decks to adapt to the meta. The way hearthstone is at the moment part of that tuning is often to play a different class entirely and have a race to the face. That's probably the most consistent way to play now.
Except that most of the decks you mentioned except hunter are cheap value control decks... so I think you're missing the point? If you like control play the control decks that are already successful in the meta.... Mage, Warrior.
1) Weapon removals do not reduce winrates against every other deck. DH is another annoying aggro deck with multiple weapons, + paladin and hunters to a certain extend.
2) Zephyr is a 3rd weapon removal which you can use before the 2nd bomb goes into your deck. Hence, you have 3 cards to mulligan for when you face warriors.
3) Except for gala warrior and Dr bomb, bomb warriors have no means to attack face, hence it is pretty safe to just hold 10 cards and heal till fatigue. They will fatigue faster since you have bombs in your deck.
But I predict they will change the Reward System even more in their favour in the future, removing or reducing the amount of Gold for daily Quests, so then they force you to waste even more money ...
They will with the new Battle Pass. And yes, Blizzard is aware that people who will spend money on it won't do it with a smile on their face. But still, money is money, doesn't matter where it comes from.

Fun > Meta
Lol. Imagine thinking HS is anything but casino rng game :D
You are right, this is not a normal salt thread.
This is a mega salty thread.
The fact that you wrote this wall of text complaining about stuff proves it.
