so lately i see hearthstone turns to aggro gameplay style . which is weird for me i always love control decks. you can always enjoy the game and in the new system it gives u worth ur wait for the XP. but from videos i saw they said people always love aggro . and my question is why do you guys like aggro decks more than control ? . i believe blizzard should balance this by adding for each class atleast 50% WR Control deck . What do you guys think ?
Still, if I have to pick one to play against, I prefer playing against aggro more than against control. I get that a lot of Standard decks don't have the tools to control cards from hand or deck, but this isn't the case in Wild, and I only had to play against Parrot Shaman with Dirty Rats one time to internally rename the archetype as The Funkiller. If you're talking about really making control viable, you're basically talking about printing Dirty Rat Version 2.0, and to that I say no no please God no.
The way it should be is: get busy winning, or get busy dying. I'm grateful games don't often go past turn 10 in Standard.
I like tempo, doesn't really matter if it's aggro, control, or both. As long as things are moving, I'm good.I don't prefer blind smash face or lose aggro though it's just so repetitive and gets boring real quick but is fun in short bursts to.

so if the majority literally do like Control style and tempo . Why on earth blizzard keep pushing for aggro style
Because the flaw in your thinking is that winning a poll means people literally do like it.
Control is the "rich hearty roast" of Hearthstone. The community has been conditioned to view it as the sophisticated choice (it isn't, combo is), so most of them (#notall) lie to themselves and/or others for status purposes.
How very... interesting it is to have some stranger tell me that I don't actually like the things I like. More amusing is them then going on to state their own opinion as fact.
I prefer combo and control decks, but the reason why people preferred aggro since the first are simple.
1) If most people play Control, then the Control vs control matches will last longer. This means that not only users who dont have much time to kill will be able to play like one or two games, it also means that if you lose in those two games then it will feel really bad to have wasted 50 minutes and feel only loss for example.
2) If aggro decks and combo decks dont exist, then control decks will have to combat only against control decks. This means that the greedier deck will probably win. Then people will need more win more cards. These are usually legendaries and as you can imagine people dont get all legendaries from every expansion even when they buy the big bundle + a few more packs. Also there are a ton of people who barely use money at all and if they do its for tavern pass, or a couple of packs here and there.
3) Many classes dont have a decent control archetype, at least not in standard. People like to have "main" heroes and then the rest are mostly for certain quests or to try a fun deck. So, no many options there

My bad, I had my phone battery die just after I finished that post. I've edited it more appropriately just now.
People are usually quite bad at knowing what they want in the future. People are, however, usually quite good at knowing what they liked in the past. With a poll like this people don't necessarily think about previous experience playing control, but instead conjure an idealistic and perhaps unrealistic vision of control in their imagination. If the thread was instead "post the decklist you had the most fun with this past month" you'd probably get better data about preferences by categorizing the responses.

well i dont believe i will ever see someone that had fun playing face hunter except if he is wining and got to legend. but if i asked this probably most answers will be either tempo or combo . control decks . am not saying that the game should go control all the way . but balance the aggro vs control thing . and anyway back then when we needed the wins yeah we played aggro . but now you need your game to last longer to grind xp. so
so if the majority literally do like Control style and tempo . Why on earth blizzard keep pushing for aggro style

actually alot of people are talking about there is no control anymore. and the game is going towards aggro type
I love the “people prefer control” posts but blizzard strongly prefers aggro, you can even play 6-10 cost card most games.
just played 5 hunters in a row, I healed 10+ every game still died turn 6-7. Classic
do you play priest ?
I play, well try to play cause it’s aggro/combo or bust, warrior(not pirate) priest and warlock. I count armor as “healing” cause it is just healing but better.
I personally prefer a Control shell with a Combo finish. There is just something fun about attrition based gameplay and longer games. I like aggro decks, but at the end of the day they are more a means to an end for climbing the ladder and completing quests.

I gravitate towards combo decks myself.
Still, if I have to pick one to play against, I prefer playing against aggro more than against control.

Control
Seems mot people already like control more for fun
I like tempo and combo OTK.
so if the majority literally do like Control style and tempo . Why on earth blizzard keep pushing for aggro style
