This is so over the top. Why would you ever do anything that you find 'insanely boring' ? I'm sure you're exaggerating for dramatic efge t but still... There is nothing I would find insanely boring that I would ever do by choice. If I did then I'm just being a complete cretin. Things I might have to do that are 'insanely boring' can be things like putting up furniture, re-grouting the bathroom, being in stand still traffic for hours. 

I understand if people find ladder a bit repetitive at the moment, the card pool is low due to rotation so the choice isn't as varied. You may even not particularly enjoy playing against decks that are effective at the moment. 

But to refer to it as insanely boring, or even boring, why are you choosing to play then? You know what I find boring? Farming simulator. You know what I don't do? Play farming simulator. I also then don't go on a farming simulator fan site and complaining over and over that it's boring. 

Will someone please explain why, when you find something so bad and boring  that you continue to play and discuss it? No one has ever answered this, I genuinely want to know. Its such an easy game to put down and go back to 3, 4 or 5+ months later, there's no excuse, you're causing your own misery which is just stupid. 

 I don't think I've ever agreed with a post on this site more than this one. Most of the time Threads like this are just created for people seeking like minded replies. 

 "Guys, this Meta is Trash. Agreed?" 

"Yeah man. MSoG was sooooo much better!" 

"Thanks dude, thought it was just me..." 

 I don't know why some of the posters on here continually hate on all things Hearthstone. Yes it has problems, same as any other CCG, but damn.... 

 And I'm definitely in the same boat as you Padge. I can't stand Minecraft, so I don't play it, don't frequent the Forums and don't partake in Threads about it. If someone really doesn't like something then they won't do it. 

 I do understand that and I obviously exeggerated, when i said, it is "insanely" boring. I do not hate the game, because then i would never ever post on a forum. :P

The thing is, that i see so much potential, so much cool stuff that could go on this game. I know not every card is meant to be op, but in my eyes it is sad to see, that interesting mechanics and synergies get washed away douzens of times, just because one or two decks are so prominent. It has come to a point, where the last 5 legendaries i got from packs did not make me feel excited, because i knew i can't even play them on ladder. 
3 days ago, i played with a friend of mine and we just played homebrews vs each other, they weren't super strong but they also didn't suck. The gameplay was so interesting and fun.  

 Fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion and if you prefer to play a certain way, that's your choice. 

However, this isn't home brew stone. The main reason people complain about not being able to play their wild and wacky decks is that they aren't very good decks. Or they don't pilot them well. It's that simple. The very best deck in the game is a 'home brew' deck. I hate the phrase home brew, it translates to 'something I personally like the idea of and therefore feel I should be able to play with it'  It's no different to the 10 highest performing decks. Someone created them, maybe multiple people had the exact same deck idea but it doesn't stop them being 'home brew' decks either. The difference is just those decks are good so people copy them.

What you're unhappy about is you not being able to play your way or have the choice you want in a competitive sense but that's the same for every other game, pretty much. I like to compare things with fifa because it's such a different game with such a different audience but complaints and issues still translate. 

The 'home brew' complaints are the same as someone wanting to play ultimate team and use players they like the look of or build a team with players with the most outrageous hair styles but then complaining because that team isn't very good and they can't use it. But they play matches against their friends, who also use a team that's made using wacky requirements and sure, they have a blast. That isn't the game's fault though. You're wanting it to play how you personally like but it isn't designed for you as an individual. It's designed with a large amount of people in mind. 

Fifa players also complain that the 'meta is boring'  that there is a number of players that you just see over and over again because they are over powered or the most effective. They will also say things like 'it's not that I don't win, I do, it's boring though'  'I have no trouble competing but it's boring, I want it to play as I want'  

Different game, different play bases, different devs, same complaints. Why? The people complaining all share the same logic in common. It isn't Blizzard, it isn't EA, sometimes the player has to accept that what they want just isn't what the game is about.

I have to admit, despite all the bullshit, the RR meta was....way more fun.

Like sure, you had your highrolling, your one-card win conditions, your Baku/Genn, but at the end of the day there was some real diversity of playstyle. Pretty much every class had at least 2 playable decks, and even the meme decks had a realistic chance of beating meta decks, because they also had access to all the broken cards.

I loved playing Discard Warlock because it actually had the tools to beat something like Odd Paladin or Midrange Hunter, just because of cards like Defile, Bloodreaver Gul'dan and Corpsetaker.

No, after the powerlevel has been reduced drastically only the really broken cards stick out. Mage is basically defined by a single overpowered card, only 3 classes have Hero cards and Warrior'S is the best, and Rogue is the only class with a tempo deck that's comparable to the previous ones in terms of consistency.

Partially this is because we just have very few cards in comparison right now...but I also think it's kind of upsetting that legitimately good cards are not seeing play because they are overshadowed by the insane ones (Gral the Shark used to be run in some Rogue decks, but right now he's just pointless beause the ROgue class has gotten all about hyper tempo)

the only class that actually has some deck diversity is Hunter, and even there it's basically all either banking on Zul'jin or just abusing the Magnetize mechanic.

 This revisionism is another thing people do all the time

X and Y wasn't THAT bad, it was better than what we have now. Go back and look at the threads at the time and you wouldn't think that at all. But once you're distanced from something, you never remember it as it was. 

I've seen it said about almost everything that people recalling disliking. Things like 'but at least with pirate warrior....' if you traded the game now for back then, you'd be just as, of not more pissed off. 

Let's not try and pretend people would be less bitt hurt if we swapped back to a RR game state. I personally liked it but then again, I don't really get annoyed at the game like others on here. If I ever feel I'm getting there, I just stop playing for a few months. There's never been a game state where I've felt strong negativity or boredom though. Maybe because I do have those breaks, it's a sensible thing to do...
