Ok I give up.

Like I said, people here don't care or don't understand.

It would have been a lot more constructive if you posted your decks that you reached legend with instead of blindly sending e to salt thread.

That way every people could benefit from seeing possible powerful strategies they might have overlooked.

 Maybe you don't understand that you losing few games or ranks doesn't mean anything. You might have just been unlucky, step away from the game for one or two day.

Screaming "worst meta ever" doesn't achieve anything, only diminishes the point you are trying to make.

TL;DR : "I lost few games, so worst meta ever. REEEEEEEEE"

Talk to NSA, they will have logs about your game.

Spell hunter is the closest to control a hunter can get.

Blizzard don’t even try to balance this game. Their business strategy is to keep vomiting content so players can never build a full collection and when their favourite class gets pushed out of the meta theyre forced to keep spending money or give up. Why do you think it takes them months to nerf clearly obviously broken cards?

Except they don't vomit content. They make 3 expansions per year, and mostly nothing in between. If they make only 2 expansions a year then the game will surely die due to lack of content.

They do mostly one balance change in between expansions, I believe they should do 2 but not more than that. It would be so chaotic if they keep nerfing cards every week.

They also want to make cards seem like a physical card game by not altering them, but then they forget 80% of the card pool doesn’t get played anyway. I honestly also think they purposely make bad legendary cards so people will pack them and not the broken ones, requiring them to spend more money.

Well, they already said that they don't want every card to be good or broken. So yeah they purposely make bad legendaries, no surprises here.

0 faith in this development team anymore. It’s so obviously about making money instead of making a great game. 

I don't know how to make a great game, so I can't comment.

It's good itbring a lots of value even if its kinda slow. People here can not do anything except netdecking. If its not in meta is bad... stupidopinions

Not everyone has full collection to experiment with every deck possible. Most people only got a limited amount of dust, which they want to spend with maximum efficiency.

Emeriss hunter is neither a good fun deck (imo) nor a good ladder deck. I would rather craft Tess Rogue or Zerek Priest over Emeriss hunter if I just want to have fun or any netdeck if I want to win. 

Saying Emeriss is terrible has nothing to do with being a net decker.

It's not good now and probably won't be in future considering the direction Blizzard has taken with hunter.

Yeah Hunter is one of the weaker Classes.... again. 

I have quite some decent success withMechPaladin and am at rank2 5 Stars now even tho I played only 15-20 games or so since the expansion is out ( starting from 4 ) 

Hunter is NOT weak. It was one of the best classes before Boomsday and still probably is. I would say play hunter and don't play priest or mage.

 I don't know what he smoked as well, hunter is really strong. Secret package remains really strong :)

 Not only that, there's also recruit hunter and deathrattle hunter.

Don't play hunter it's that easy. Find a deck that you enjoy playing of any of the other 8 classes and you will succeed.

 I hate responses like this. Blizzard should be able to balance the game fairly but time and time again thee proven incapable / unwilling.

The solution to a balancing problem should not be “just don’t play that class for the next 3 months”. 

 

Because it's not possible, I don't know any game where all the classes/factions/characters are in meta. Hell, even in chess people say that winning with white is easier than black.

Am  I missing something ? Why has nobody mentioned Tirion Fordring till now ?

Absolutely trash tier alongside Temporus. Priest buff spells are so costly except PW:S and Topsy Turvy that Zerek becomes a 9 mana combo essentially, druids can OTK for that mana cost. 

Quote from TMRobinson >>

The Mecha'thun Warlock I was playing against played Curse of Weakness 4 times on turn 9 effectively giving all my minions 0 attack which I'm fine with. However on my final turn before he pulled his combo off I played two Branching Paths with the attack to all minions options 4 times. None of my minions received any attack buffs from the card as if they had negative attack that turn. Is this the way Curse of Weakness is meant to work and the game will not illustrate negative attack numbers? Or is Curse of Weakness not working the way it should, which would be just dropping the attack to 0?

 This is a known interaction. Same happens with Stormwind champion and raid leader.

Wild is the problem.

 This exactly, Wild is where cards that are too imbalanced for standard go, so you gotta expect that you will not be playing a balanced game in wild. Yet Wild players still complain about imbalance knowing that they are playing Wild.

Lol non wild players completey uninformed opinion on wild. Wild IS mostly balanced. There were 2 cards wild players complain about. 1 was naga sea witch. That card was broken because of a stupid rules change blizzard made. Once it was nerfed everything become much more balnced balanced and has been ever since. Barnes is the only other card that wild players agree is broken and that is because of big priest turn 4 which that the deck is basically built around it's busted, but not much more so than everything else.

As decent policy on life one should be carful about there opinions in regards to things they do not fully understand.

Many Big priests decks do not include Barnes anymore because when you pull Barnes out from Shadow Essence or resurrect him at the wrong time, you can get punished hard.  

But no, in the eyes of people who only complain about Big priest, Barnes is this all powerful card that priest always draws before turn 4. Plays it on turn 4, which then makes a 1/1 Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound that pulls out a Ragnaros.

I think Avianais the biggest problem at the moment.

 The problem is druid spell that give card draw and sustain to be able to pull of such crazy combos with Aviana.

You're probably wrong, without Juicy Psychmelon you can still draw Aviana and execute the OTK, but without Aviana you cant OTK with Juicy Psychmelon. Aviana not only making all Duid's  OTK works but all other Druid's combo is revolving around her.

I am not only talking about Juicy Psychmelon, I am also talking about cards like Ultimate Infestation, Oaken Summons, Ferocious Howl, Jasper Spellstone ... i.e "the core druid package". None of these cards are overpowered on their own but together they give so much card draw, removal and instant armour gain that druids can easily survive easily till they find their combo. 

Aviana is an old card, she never caused any trouble in either wild or standard until druid got this insane card draw and armour gain, now she suddenly is centre of all the controversy.
