The difference between people being mad at Zoo and people being mad at Hunter is that Zoo is good because of the hero power and can't really be fixed because it's almost all neutral cards and , as said before, hero powers won't be change. The deck annoys some people because of the way Hearthstone is built.

Hunter is good because of obviously broken cards that could easily be fixed, like Undertaker and Mad Scientist.

The other difference is that Zoo, while strong, is just one good deck among many and can be countered, while Hunter is just the best deck and even its "counters" (control Priest mainly, slightly Warrior) are not very bad matchups for Hunter (40-60 at worst). Paladin, Zoo, and Druid get destroyed by Hunter, idk what variations the above poster has been playing..

 I agree, I don't really mind facing Zoo. Zoo is a 50/50 matchup, so when I lose to it I don't feel too bad. But when I face Hunters, it always feels so one-sided.

Yesterday I faced Hunter into Hunter into Hunter into Warrior into Hunter. I think I played for about 3ish hours and ran into a Shaman once. Once. The ladder is so congested with Hunters that the only decks you see on it is a) Hunter b) Warrior c) Priest. Sometimes you see a couple of Rogues, and a zoo every once in a while. I've been playing this game for 4 months, and I don't think there has ever been a time where Hunter hasn't reigned on ladder.

I found Hearthstone on my iPad back in July. I was browsing the Top Charts as I often do, and stumbled across Hearthstone in the high 60s. As my gaming skills are limited to the App Store, I had no idea this game was so big/competitive or even WoW related. For the first few weeks I played solely on my iPad and reached Rank 14 with my own Gadgetzan Druid deck. But as I wanted to improve my skills, I just typed in Hearthstone into YouTube. There I found Trump, and then Amaz, and then Twitch.tv, and then Twitch Chat. I knew Twitch was a thing, but I never had a reason to visit until Hearthstone. Now I love following the Hearthstone tourneys and players, and I actually play the game on an actual computer. I remember I spent most of my September on Twitch just watching all of the Tourneys that happened in like a 2 week period (VGVN, Lord of the Arena, Jeoparino, Hearthstats, Deck Wars, Blizzcon EU Qualifiers). 

You should watch LiBo from the WCAs. $90,000 on the line, and he 6-0ed with his Shaman deck on pure God draws.
