1. The mana cost is not really a problem, is it? It just determines when it can be played. Also, there have always been low cost OP cards, even in the basic set. Ice Block, Wild Growth, Fiery Win Axe (rip in pieces), Innervate (rip in even more pieces). Just look at the hall of fame as well, there's plenty of these early day OP cards. Are you a 'newer' player? (No offense intended) Because that would explain not thinking and knowing of these.
2. Your statement is wrong. Simply wrong. There have always been powerful aggro decks since Hearthstones early days: Look up Undertaker Hunter which dominated by crushing literally everything right after Naxxramas was released. It basicly was an aggro (at most hybrid) Hunter deck. Patron Warriors highest mana card was 5 costed - Grim Patron itsself. There are many more older, basic or classic cards, which have been or still are OP. Some of these cards have existed even in Beta days and have been in more decks than any of "your" OP cards. Yeah. The best strategy is playing OP cards first - but that is what CCGs and TCGs is about. Has never been different, will never be different. If you remove this or that OP card, other cards will become more powerful. There will always be a pool of cards with high power level, you just shift them depending on the most powerful ones.
IMO the current problem is not the meta being unbalanced as you are saying. The meta is more diverse than the most metas I have experienced. The problem are highroll decks which need to draw certain cards on certain turns to gain incredible chances to win a match up. Keleseth on turn 2 (and shadowsteps for the rogue), Anduin/Raza/Velen to finish off enemies, Quest mage randomizing helpful spells from their Tomes, Babbling Books etc. That's what I despise as well. Why I don't play this game as much. Why I won't order the 50 packs from KaC. I'll be f2p until things change or slowly fade out if it stays this way.
It just feels like you are not made to play this kind of games which is fair enough. You just seem to be at odds with core mechanics and principles of card games. HS is not solely about luck. There are players who always hit top 100 legend.
