right now I'd say its either paladin or mage. at least those are the two classes I've struggled most with both as warrior and druid over the last month+

"Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear turns into a cat and eats you." - Anonymous Druid
Druid can deal with almost any deck it is faced with, the ramp combined with threatening lethal at almost half health, as well as forcing the opponent to constantly clear/ play defensive or combo themselves makes them very tricky to nail down even if you have Control decks with multiple clears.
They have a slight weakness to faster decks, but it's not so bad they can't just ramp and out tempo the other deck, then stabilize. They also suffer from relying a lot on Wild Growth or Innervate, but drawing either of these early enough is quite troublesome to deal with.
I am sure most people are going to say either hunter or Druid but most decks have a counter and weaknesses
No one is asking as to which deck unstoppable, or which deck has no counter at all (no such deck ever existed, pre nerf Freeze Mage was about as close as we've had). Merely what you believe has the best overall matchups or the least relevant weaknesses.

Really? I thought the best class is the one with the best looking avatar?
Surprised that no one voted for Rogue. Oil Rogue has been diminishing lately due to the influx of so many face hunters, but overall I feel like Rogue has the best potential in the game, maybe next to Druid.
Every time I cast Blade Flurry, I wonder what I'd ever have to be thinking to play a class that doesn't have Blade Flurry. Similar feeling when playing SI:7. But when I play something like Quartermaster, Archmage or Ancients, I always feel like it's my opponent who let me have that one.
So, I'd have to say Rogue. Other classes might stack up better against the field right now, but the best class has the best cards, regardless of the field. To me, that's Rogue.
So interesting people say Druid. I beat Druid decks all the time because they're so... predictable. It's generally very easy to see what they're going to do and what their strategy is, and thus much easier to read through than, say, and experience CW player or Rogue player or Warlock player. Your average Druid players is far more by-the-numbers and predictable and I think the nature of the class has to do with that..
It's funny, I've been taking down Druids left and right with this new Imp Gang Zoo deck. I wasn't sure if the matchup would run well, but it's definitely better than 50/50 in Zoo's favor. Druid's big taunts just melt through when you use Power Overwhelming/Imp-losion antics and they just can't keep up with the speed at which these new Zoo decks fill up the board and throw out so many difficult threads.
Imp Gang Boss is an absolute NIGHTMARE for Druid because Wrath is absolute shit against it. There's practically no efficient way to get rid of it you're Druid when it's played on Curve without giving your opponent at least a pair of meddlesome imps. It's like a Druid-killer, in addition to being a Mage Killer.
Anyway, I voted Warlock which is a bit foolish because right now I think Hunter is still defining the meta - whether it's played the most or not, Face Hunter is such a threat that it defines the meta utterly. That's why people are all saying Druid, really, isn't it? And now Oil Rogue and Zoo will get more popular and Face Hunter will come back and Druid get more popular and then Dragon Paladin will kill everyone :D
Face Hunter EASILY! It's a faggot deck that requires no skill and you nearly always kill them even if you lose the board.
If who loses the board? Them? They never have a board. Unless ur talking about ur board - which means you are saying they are the best class but are nearly always beaten.
And I quote "The format for the tournament would be bo5 conquest, 4 decks, 1 ban. We knew early on that we would want to ban Hunter due to it being one of the strongest decks atm but more importantly really made you have to build your decks in specific ways to be able to beat it."
Every face hunter will deny it up and down, but no deck in the game requires players to adjust and put as many counter-measures in place as face hunter does.

I'm talking in general I know there is multiple decks and multiple ways to play and you can say its not an easy answer but its a poll for fun.
I think there is a clear class as the front runner and I'm curious how many agree. No I dont think its hunter.

"Put your face in the light!" - Tirion Fordring
Well for me that's Shaman then :P But they are probably one of the least consistent, in terms of Ladder anyway.
Best looking avatar is Druid lol so majestic and pink
Shamans have the best golden hero power hands down...and up...and all around
Druid until the inevitable Savage Roar nerf.

I've been doing quite well with Paladin this season, but that's probably due to all the druids and hunters running around
"Best" is very subjective, but I think I'd always have to say Mage. They just have no real weaknesses aside from mediocre early AOE.
Have a great deck that's really, really cheap? Help the new players out
has to be mage they can counter literally everything i'm not mad i'm just saying :/
RIP yogg-saron good things don't last forever :(
That's not necessarily true. There is usually always an objectively superior class at any given time based on the current meta.

December rank 74 legend :)
Id go with mage. Freeze mage and mech mage very strong as well as tempo mage. Alot of options, well represented in recent big tournies.

Well, right now it's face hunter.
