I am really getting tired of this game now. Playing hearthstone from the beta until now, i have witnessed many changes, not only of mechanics, but of the game itself. HS 2022 is either an aggressive solo race to finish a quest or an interactive solo patience until you have the cards for that ultimate absurde OTK combo with playing 20 cards in an turn and spending seamingly endless mana or reducing cards to zero mana cost.
And with Nagas it will become even worse! It's the same problem we already have with quests - you can't break 'em, you can't interrupt 'em, there is no f*ing interaction to stop a quest from getting completed. And there will be close to no chance to stop the unplayed Naga in your opponents hand. Sure, there are some cards, not many, but some can get the Naga off your opponents hand, but for what cost? You won't be competative for all other decks!
Other thing is, I am playing plat5 now, I am facing 98% hunters and warriors. Most games don't last longer than 5-6 rounds. So this game became more and more boring. You have to chose between success and fun. Seems like you can't get both.
So what you're saying is that you don't think Battlecry as an effect should exist? Because I don't see how Nagas are any different from any other powerful battlecry minion.
If you're sick of the game then take a break for a few years. I agree that the game is uninteractive at the moment, it's mandatory for any deck to be able to win in 10 turns or less and interactive decks can never guarantee that. Give it another year and the meta may be different.
And if you want longer games, play a deck like Control Warrior. While there aren't many decks that can pull off a slow strategy, that is certainly one of them.
Just move on if you feel tired. A game is a game. I took a break for a year playing other stuff like Arena and Gwent - or even *lowers voice* single player games.
Generally asking this right before an expansion is just dumb tho. Honestly, you can screech about nagas all you want, you don't know the meta to come, so don't act like you are talking facts.
That you play fast decks on plat rn is probably due to the new month and ppl trying to climb to legendary rank afap. (before the new exp hits) As someone who played since beta, you should know and have already experienced this behaviour. This is no suprise at all...
Hearthstone is just a casual game. If you treat it that way you'll have fun.
Now yes. But before it was not. And as a casual game, they should increase the level of the App. Because a casual game with an App that sucks is madness. I am not able to play HS when I am in the toilet.
hoping they take a break from quests next full cycle (they wont), they still haven't figured out how to not make the game become Solitaire when they are included

Of course, yeah, it wasn't always like that, but for better or worse things change. Hearthstone is an eight years old video game, let's no forget about that.
My main enjoyment of the game comes from deck building and finding crazy combos. If I find one that is particularly good, I'll play it a bit on ladder, but I get more out of playing friendly matches with my buddies and participating in local fireside gatherings. Having 3+ friends irl or on discord that play the game makes it much more enjoyable than facing rando's on ladder that you have zero interaction with.
Before HS became casual, it was chess, now it's dice.
:) Chess seems exaggerated. HS is also a kid game. All this brain was never required. Sure you need the knowledge of some basic math but you don't need an high IQ for this game. But yes. Before it was required a little higher IQ.
I will never understand who follows the esports of this game. What fun is there in seeing a little boy throwing cards? But this is another topic.
OP, take care of yourself. If the game is no longer fun for you, then let it go and find another hobby. And no, that hobby doesn't have to be a game, it can be anything like reading a book, watching a movie, learning a new language. As long as it brings you peace, it's more than enough.
I am playing wild at least to plat 5 every month for years, but I am facing pirate warriors and quest hunters 98% of the time. I am just getting of playing the same opponents over and over again. There is close to zero variation in both decks. It's just Déjà vu ...
well if you have a grief against particular decks, which you seem to notice negatively, maybe try to play new deck which are hard counter to them in particular. how about this: https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1404235-zoofellock ?

Then stop playing already. Get over your addiction and try something else, like Wartales, Distant worlds 2, Weird west, etc

Chess? Haha, well, let's no exaggerate either. :P

Don't let your memes be dreams.
Hopefully dirty rat is in the core set. It is very important card to counter combo decks.

Lol complaining about meta before expansion

Try wild, I never gets bored (Matchups are boring but you can play a large amount of memes and fun decks :) )

I was in the same spot last year. Either stop playing the game or just play it casually or else you'll face game burnout sooner or later.
