Hunter, Warlock, Warlock, Hunter, Hunter, Priest, Warlock, Hunter, Hunter, Priest, Warlock... Repeat.

This is EU ranked from 15-8. All day everyday. I thought Blizzard wanted to make money... apparently I was wrong. Why would anyone spend money on a game to buy cards when the 2 cheapest decks are the strongest and easiest to play? Makes no freakin' sense whatsoever.

Yes, you have to adapt to the meta blablabla, but you all know that when you face zoo or hunter and you get a shitty starting hand, it's uphill until you die around turn 6.

These decks ruin the entire game. Yes, this is a rant post, but I'm just checking to see if others feel the same? I notice fewer and fewer people online on HS and everyone says the same when they log on "nothing but zoo and hunter on ranked, fk this", and logs off. I do the same. It doesn't matter if I go on and win, because I know 80% of all my games are gonna be against the same 2-3 classes.

i've been playing miracle lately, and the matchup against all of those aren't bad for rogue...

Half a year ago everyone complained about that you couldnt do well in constructed without spending tonnes of money on card packs to get legendaries and epics.
Now you dont actually have to do that to do well and people are still complaining?

...sigh :P

Try out my "fuck zoo"-deck! Never lost to zoo/hunter! But of course if you meet anything else, you are set to lose :)

Undertaker coin leper gnome makes me want to puke.

I'm currently rank 13 and I played 7 Warlocks in a row yesterday, I've never had that happen to me before! I've also only played 1 hunter this season (I've been keeping a win/loss record of my deck) so I can't complain too much about that!

I feel you bro.. i hate those zoo and face huntard as well. For those who keeps saying "yeah, you have to adapt bla bla bla", i doubt that they dont play zoo huntard himself

This game desperately needs more cards. It's getting really boring seeing the same cookie-cutter undertaker decks....yawn.

Ladder has always been like this.
Its that thing called "meta" that everyone talks about.

Before aggro hunters/zoo it was miracle rogue/freezemage. Before that it was midrange hunter. Before midrange hunter it was control warrior. Before control warrior it was aggro in any shape and/or form. Before that it was OTK decks such as the giants otk or the alexstrasza-charge-gorehowl otk. Before that it was control druid.
I could go on and on but I think you get my point.

The ladder has ALWAYS had one/two decks that were dominant. The reason why some people do consistently well on ladder is because they spend time finding ways to beat said dominant decks.
It has been exactly this way since closed beta.

Edit: Since the "hate" posts that I originally replied to has been removed, I've edited my post to be a bit more 'friendly' :)

Keep it clean in here, thanks =)

I actually don't have a big problem with undertaker. I only remember one game where he got bigger than 3/4. And only a few games where he hit 3/4.  He's a good card, but not OP. No, I don't use him. I'm playing control warrior currently. Before that was shaman and druid.  I'm currently at 6, but I'm not that annoyed. Be smart. Play smart. There are games where zoo gets a great hand and there's nothing you can do, but if you play well and think a few turns ahead, you can upset their plays ahead of time.  All this complaining will make Blizzard nerf the game for the masses in the same way they did WOW.

Well .. just look at screen .. nothing more to say

it's rank 4-5 ATM

why you conceded against the rogue! for once that you got a diffrent match!

i'm playing ramp druid, get crazy bad hand - cant get any minion first 5 turns and then turn 5 auctioneer ended up concealed .. you know.

If u cant bait out some spells (especially sap's) before auctioneer madness - game pretty over.

So why wasting time? )

roman , people like to compete and that is why a ladder is great, but they also like to have fun.

Yes on the ladder people will stick to the meta and that is fine, however the meta is incredibly boring and it is mostly just the same 2 aggro decks that just aren't enjoyable or skill testing. 

If the game doesn't offer an enjoyable competitive ladder then people will just stop playing it. 

 Edit - essentially it shouldn't be a case of if you want to ladder you have to sacrifice fun.

And it's something i can actually respond to. I got it, I got it - zoo warlocks and hunters all the way to the top, but come on - was it different earlier? Before the nerf of Leeroy and Buzzard the ladder was full of hunters and miracle rogues. And there was a load of people complaining about it. So okay - nerf. Now what, next nerfs? Ban option? Infinity nerfs? There will be always a deck that's cheap and deadly effective and people will stick to it. No matter what. So there will be always a majority that uses it to climb up on the ranked ladder. And what we can do about it? Convince these people to stop use it, while it's really strong? Or maybe eliminate a possibility to create decks like these and let play only those, who can afford strong control decks with half of deck built from legendaries? The game would become not so f2p then.

 

Ladder is no fun in the moment you gain the rank 5. One win, two loses. Moreover, it's not fun, as priest steals your precious card and more - he kills you with your own card. It's no fun as the RNG decides that you lose one health point necessary to survive and finish. The higher you climb and the more serious your ambition is, the less fun it delivers. Sorry to tell, but it's a rule for every game.

And considering the general "hate level" that OP and hes friends is spewing out here I'm sure I'll get nothing but hate from posting this, but so be it. Its the facts and it is how the game has always been since closed beta.

 

THAT'S JUST WHAT I MEAN. Thank you.

Orrrrrrr you hit legendary and then just start playing decks for fun again, w/o worrying about losing rank!

There's a difference in personality here. For me (and other competitive players), the higher you climb and the more serious your ambition is, the MORE fun it delivers. This is how I play every game. In Hearthstone, I want to play against people playing what they believe is the best deck as well as they can. Right now 40% of people think Hunter is the best, so I play a deck that does well against Hunter and the most popular Hunter Counter (Priest). If you don't love the competition, tank your rank back to 15-20 or play casual.
