Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
Finally got some down time this weekend to do some grinding past the 3 or 4 games i usually have time for on the regular... fell from rank 4 to rank 7, with 90 percent of losses from nut draw cancer shaman with ideal totem rolls in every situation. Give me my time back Ben.

So I had a pretty good period in HS. Came to rank 11 with a winrate, started some arena runs (9-3, 11-3 and 9-3) and was feeling good about HS for a while. I normally hit rank 7-5 at the end of a season and it is fine for me as I don't play that much. Well... all of a sudden the RNG gods decided to say: "Fuck you" and screw me over big time. Drafted a warlock arena deck where I got garbage cards more or less all the way (no clears, removal or anything. Think my best card was Zombie Chow). The run ended 1-3 because I started with two or three 5 drops in my starting hand (had 4 and a lot more early game), all RNG went against me, the final run was ended because a mage played babbeling book and got flamestrike - while topdecking another flamestrike two turns later.
Well.. fuck arena. I'll just start climbing. Well NO! I ended in a 12 game losing streak where I lost as Reno Priest, Dragon Priest, Renolock, Pirate warrior (yea I wanted a win) and FINALLY won with a Jade Druid where I faced a Renomage. So I went from rank 11 to rank 14. In conclusion I in my last 16 games I have won two of them. I'll take a break from HS for the next couple of days.
Jade Idol must be removed from the game asap, if not, druids are going to be the new shamans
There are a few cards that should be removed and Jade Idol is on the bottom of the list
So you are okay with it that every control deck out there except jade druid will become extinct? nice thinking dude, Chuck Norris approves....
I think this is short sighted thinking (but maybe you're just salty?) The measure of a deck's strength isn't to be compared to other decks in the same category, but against the meta as a whole. In other words, because Jade Druid smashes other control decks, that doesn't mean that all other control decks are garbage. Similarly, that's why Aggro Shaman doesn't mean that Pirate Warrior goes away.

This is for those who still dare to argue shaman isn't horribly designed.
so I didn't watch the video, but I see it's from Hotform. Here is the breakdown of Hotform, then you can consider the source who made the video:
Hotform whines and cries about every aggro deck he plays against
Hotform thinks playing an aggro deck takes 0 skill. Yet, his cognitive dissonance couldn't be more glaring in this regard. Because he'll play a deck like Dragon Priest and claim the skill is so superior over an aggro deck. Oh yes, playing dragonfire potion to clear a board, and pick Drakonid Operative off Netherspite almost every time it's offered takes "much skill."
Hotform is literally paid to play this game. So, of course he can sit there and play 30 minute+ control mirror matches and not care. He's making money while he plays, is paid to play (subs/donations)
Sure, before the accusations fly, I'll freely admit I play Shaman. I play Shaman because retard Reno decks have obliterated mid-range decks (my actual preferred type of deck, and Shaman is just about the only mid-range deck left that can still win consistently.)
I don't get paid to play this game, so I don't have time/patience to sit around and play 30+ minute matches.
Please stop thinking any deck in Hearthstone takes any skill. The days of skillful deck piloting are long gone, please stop deluding yourself that the deck you play requires skill.
For everyone's sake, I can't wait until Reno/Brann rotate out, I can't wait for the STB and conceal nerfs, and I definitely would love to see Hunter and Pally become actual playable classes again in the next expansion.
The reality is people have to stop shifting their focus on blaming Blizzard for a class, and start demanding they stop being lazy and make every class viable with several playable archetypes.
Also, hopefully, maybe some day they can bring skill back to the game, but I won't hold my breath on that.
Edit: PS This post isn't addressed to OP specifically, is addressed to everyone who watches the video.

Discredit the source to justify your point and fail to address the actual problem with Shaman. Got it.

I fucking hate this meta, its sooo boring. Like 99% of my games started by 1/1 or 1/2 or 2/1 pirate and fucking 1/1 in charge. Also shamans plays this fucking stupid "pirate package", like wtf? Is this your definition of fun blizzard? Fuck off. Oh and i forget to fucking jade idol, which is even worse because you just cant play any fatique / no reno control decks in this stupid times. I just get my golden epic and fuck ladder, its fucking unfun right now. And if u play fucking pirates, fuck you too.

Fuck cubelock
No better way to show you're a completely incompetent player not even to mention a complete failure at life than playing a standard deck in wild.

Rank 5 is all: Shaman, Shaman, Shaman.
Nice representation of the Classes.
