So you play the game to make other people angry rather than to have fun and actually think about what you are doing? Why don't you just go punch people in real life then?
I think you missed his point though: he is having fun at making paladin players mad.
Because Paladin players don't have feelings, right?
TL;DR I play aggro shaman because it's good against the paladin meta and because I enjoy seeing people rage over it.
Actually, Aggro Shaman is not favored VS secret Pally. Most of the time Aggro Shaman runs out of stream while Secret Pally has more then enough sticky creatures to control the board. I can honestly say Aggro Shammy is an easy match up for secret pally.
I guess this just depends on player experience. In my own experience I usually beat secret pally turn 5 or turn 6 and I don't have a problem with their "Sticky" minions because I just ignore them.

I rekt them everytime, so your point is invalid.
My point is valid. Just because you get lose to Aggro Shaman playing Secret Pally doesn't mean everyone does. ;)
Honestly, you're pathetic. Playing for revenge? To make people mad? WTH?
I love Shaman, I played Midrange (in the beginning and beta they were actually VERY good), Reincarnate, Bloodlust, Totem etc. But Face Shaman is so stupid and brainless that feels like I'm wearing a Face Huntard cape but I'm actually Thrall in disguise. Believe me, you're not doing the class any favors by making it more hated than already is.

Is it even good against secret paladin?
I play secret paladin because I don't want to spend much time getting rank 5 each month, and my win rate against aggro shaman seems fine. The past couple seasons were pretty much go ladder for a night or two on secret paladin, roll over everything to get rank 5. Then proceed back to arena for the rest of the month.

Which is totally legit.
? I think you missed my point as well: crushing Paladin players and their dreams isn't just legit, its a noble cause.
Aggro Shaman's burst of spells finisher is one of the best examples of Hearthstone replicating the "feel" of a class from WoW. Elemental Shaman is one of my main characters in WoW, and in HS, when I drop those spells and burst the crap out of my opponent, it feels just like getting an instacast Lava Burst into a 20-stack Earthshock and having multistrike trigger on both.
Just play whatever the heck you want. You don't need a reason to play anything either, if you like playing a deck, play it, doesn't matter if it's Aggro or Control. Aggro is not the scum of the world, Control is not a divine task. The pussies that play Hearthstone should just get this through their heads already.
However, if you play to annoy others or make them angry, go visit a psych, because you may have some sort of severe brain damage.
Okay almost all of the people in the comments didn't understand about why OP plays aggro shaman. It's because Paladin is a ridiculous class which is stupidly overpowered and doesn't deserve its bullshit cards. Meanwhile Shaman has almost gotten no love and been considered the bottom of the barrel for almost all of Hearthstone history by a majority of the players while now it has risen to the top to redeem himself. All you idiots thinking it's purely revenge and not self-satisfaction, redemption and justice should reevaluate your lives.

"self-satisfaction, redemption and justice"
If you feel the need to use such heavy words to describe a card game, then maybe you should re-evaluate your life.

If you enjoy playing a deck, you should play it. You don't need to explain yourself to random strangers on the internet for it.
By the way, I also enjoy playing face shaman, though I've recently gotten a bit bored of it and have been playing renolock(combo version) instead.
You could think of Face Shaman as a combo deck: you sneak in some damage while you collect the combo pieces. Eh? EHHH?
No. It's a completely full on, hyper aggressive deck. You hardly play any control cards and in an ideal scenario you will spend most of your burn on the face.
I just don't see what the big deal is. Face decks have existed since hearthstone came out and it's about time people accept them as a completely viable(and necessary) archetype. I enjoy playing them from time to time, and sometimes even as my main deck and I don't see why I should feel ashamed of it or why I owe as explanation to anyone else. Sometimes I feel like playing something overly complex like oil rogue or freeze mage, sometimes I just feel like smashing people to bits with wolfriders and arcane golems. Deal with it.
And by the way, as someone who played virtually every competitive deck in this game, I can tell you face shaman is very far off from being the easiest one to play well at higher ranks.
Too bad face shaman gets raped by secret paladin.
btw what the fuck is that long ass post

^face Shaman takes more brain than midrange shaman lol.
Wow... OP gave more excuses to playing a face deck than me when my then-girlfriend asked when we could actually get married.

Aggro shaman is very unstable and not a good to climb with as most of aggro decks are nowadays - except aggro druid which is very good.

I like to play burst Shaman because I like holding spells and then KABLAST BOOM FZZZAAPPPP SBREAAAHMMM ELEPHANTS GUIDE ME.
I mostly enjoy ELEPHANTS GUIDE ME, but the FZZAAPPP SKREWWWM BOOAALST are cool as well. And Hex on Mysterious Cocksucker, of course.
