Hearthpwn

Yep. It makes me quite sad since I was looking forward to having a more slow meta so I could have more fun.

I also want to express the displeasure!

I'm a reactionary player so when I build a deck that would counter this deck, it becomes utter garbage versus the other 95% of Hearthstone decks.

Flare kappa. Paladin is my favourite opp now

Sadly yes. Have very little luck to beat them with most of my control decks, except maybe dragon priest. So its either hyper agro or flare hunter.  Btw, inb4 not-so-smart people with "you just learn to play against them!" argument.

I've only got 1 loss (and probably a dozen wins) against secret pally by using a control pally. As long as you get Zombie Chow, Mini-bot, or Flame Juggler in the opening hand, you just auto-win.

The only loss I have was when I had no turn 1 or 2 play and he had double Secretkeeper double Secret by turn 2.

playing ranked ist not much fun anymore.

cant see where the meta slowed  down.

wtf man

Zoo has fair chances against most decks right now

First Point:

Secret paladin isn't technically aggro, the aggressive version is not that good.... midrange secrets is best.

This of it as face hunter, with shredders, highmanes, etc.

Second Point:

All card games favour aggro decks in the long run. Reasons to play an aggro deck:
-Cheap

-Fast Ranking

-Easy to Play

There will always be aggro decks. In the long run, aggro and hybrid decks are going to be powerful. The only thing that competes with them is really strong combo decks such as patron.

So Correct , I have finally decided to give my self rest from hearthstone.

Luck plays far more of a role now than ever and games rarely go into the 8th turn.

I don't think it's secret paladin. Aggro druid inevitably was going to be a thing when darnassus was introduced. Face hunters had always been around. Tempo/Mech mage/Zoo are decks that can adapt from being aggro or midranged depending on who they're facing. I'm not sure what other "hyper aggro" decks there are out there. And the best secret paladins are hybrids right now too aren't they?

indeed.

I see about twice as much control warrior in ranked as I do any aggro deck. This is one of the least-aggro metas I can remember.

I'm rank 10 on NA server and hardly face any secret paladins on my journey to this point.

That is because  majority of secret pallies are already  under rank 10. Kappa

Holy shit that is so true ^^ Very impressed at the perspective. As a long time yugioh player (quit when I turned 15 this year), I realized that all other card games were totally different from yugioh. Yugioh had archetypes and each deck had its strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes there was one busted deck and some competitors, other times every deck was so fucking broken it was ridiculous. The fact that this cycle happens in all other games is something I didn't think about because we never really had aggro or control or midrange. 

OMG Lol I saw that thread on reddit. Yeah I thought it was stupid that bots could do that and get people to legend. If only I had tirion *sigh*. I really do like Secret Paladin though. It's a great deck and works a lot of the time (too bad I can't play it because of no Tirion).

Chill dude. Just wait 5-6 more months.

Usual Blizzard stuff.
