Whole game seems unplayable
Wheel lock makes other control options moot
Any Tendril build is so stupid and tedious to play against. Why can't the Tendril counter reset from 10 back to 1 in the same way Excavate does?!?!?
Aggro is off the charts fast.

This game is becoming dead to me as it no longer encourages the type of games I enjoy. I didn't even play enough last month to reach Diamond 5 (which is very unusual for me). So many occassions I would log on, face some degenrate deck (typically paladin this month) or OTK, lose and close Hearthstone.
I'm not interested in vomiting my hand onto the board to kill the opponent by turn 5. I'm not interested in playing OTK from hand. I never play the obviously OP flavour of the month deck. I detest the fascination Blizzard has with mana cheat, excessive cheap draw, discover everything and "build a board every turn" gameplay. I hate that they've designed cards which (depending on your oponent) just wont work (highlander). I hate the "inevitable uninteractive death" cards - plagues and wheel (and curses before that). There doesn't need to be (and never can be) parity between the classes, but they should all be viable, but some classes get to do everything while others get shafted.
In the past it's been possible to get to legend playing your own homebrew decks. Not anymore. The power level of the OP decks is so high that you absolubelty need completely refined decks to stand a chance. Most non-warrior control decks just arent viable any more, as you instantly lose against the many OTK decks that are out there. Many of those decks don't even play like a combo deck - they're a tempo deck with an OTK (or huge burst) tacked on the top. Its just not fun (for me) to play any more.
The move towards OTK from hand (which definirtely seems deliberate) seems like an odd design direction to take knowing the limited interaction that's possible with the opponents hand. The disruption cards available are often high risk - high reward (which (imo) is a poor design angle for any game - if you're lucky you get a chance to win, if not - lose. ), or have limited to no utility outside of their specific match up (which means you can't include them in your deck unless you want to lose more often against every other deck).
This isn't a sympathy post (or anything of the sort) - just my opinion on the state of the game. I'm sure some people will share it while others will vehemently disagree or tell me I should "kill them before yada yada..." In the past people have said I must love "bumping yetis" - so there's that angle too!

Cause it will divide even more the numbers of players, when you can already see a lot of people facing bots. That some deck can't play with 15s turn or even 30s because of the animations, discovers etc...
Your idea is ass.

I just lost miserably to Reno Warrior with Excavate Rogue. I dont wanna bash anyone but my opponent was possibly the worst player I've ever seen in this game. They milled half of their premium cards simply because they know nothing about strategy, managing resources or planning. Yet they won the game easily because Blizzard knows nothing about balance and printed an absurd amount of board clears and removals for Warrior and on top of that they decided to release giga powercreeped Brann just when Astalor was still in Standard.
I dont know anymore who is in charge of making cards but damn, these people know nothing about balance.

Wow - so much to hate all in one expac! We have the potential for some early p2w, we have some extra-flexible cards which are shockingly bad for some classes and very good for others, we have hated cards coming back AND we still have the broken cards from the current set! Whizzbang sure does know how to treat us in his workshop!
The returning core set cards are some of the most hated and historically problematic cards in the game. Who else is looking forward to a 5/7 charge minion which gets to summon a 5/7 rush minion while doing 8 damage to your stuff (face) all for the sum of 5 mana? Sure seems fun to me...
Leeeroy Jenkins......interactivity at it's finest. It's sure going to be fun to face a 16/16 (or more!) windfury charge minion - he's balanced though - he summons some 1/1's. There's also Southsea Deckhand for a nice cheap neutral charge too.
But dont worry Priest players - Ship's Chirurgeon is coming back!!!
This feels like we're at the "cashing in" stage of a games life. Produce a bunch of overpowered broken stuff that enough people will lap up to make as much money as you can before the game dies. They're pushing players away with every expac - this one will be no different imo. (clearly I have no numbers - but if you look at streamers as a proxy they are definitely doing other things now and they make money playing the game). Without some serious changes I think I'm done - there's very little room for fun left in this game now and it really looks like it's going to get worse.

Quote from TigOldBiddy >>slowing down the expansion releases as well as overpowered cards would be a nice
And miss out on millions in sales?

Garden's Grace should cost (1) less for each Holy spell you've played, not mana you've spent on Holy spells. If you get two copies of it the second one you play is always guaranteed to be free.
At this rate I don't think we've got much hope of Paladin seeing any significant decrease in power until rotation.

Not a big fan of Paladin getting a windfury buff.

So much fun getting destroyed by Netdecking Pro's the first day - but well..

Also implies he doesn't know how to have fun for himself, instead he blames the creators to be responsible, typically whining. Unfortunately thats what the developers listen to. But he has a point Warrior is not fun, so are all unfun abilities and destroying your opponents cards is a big not fun part that ruins the game or constant discoveries. But with the crazy evolution of overpowered cards the next exp. is unlikely to be better. Seriously is the powerlevel between standard and wild so different these days?

I see, so Helya needs to be out before playing the Masked combo obviously. And Rivendare needs to die, so maybe I would add another frenzy or nother location? Because either the Warr/druids have enough time to find the steamcleaner or just their reno before one can pollute their deck

way to early ..just got used to the mini set. Blizz just report no extreme earnings - its ok. how do all you guys have time to play all those cards?

slowing down the expansion releases as well as overpowered cards would be a nice

feel much better now after the nerf. warr is completely autopilot same is pally. Reno is good the way it is. It is suppose to be strong because u sacrifice alot in your deck. ever played a highlander vs nonhighlander version of the same deck? Reno doesnt win you the game it just helps you survive and is the only way to get rid of the portals. There should be more counterplays in the game.

totally agree

Isn't that wrong? The only counter to secrets gets countered by a secret. Another example of thoughless gamedesign.
Eater of Secrets is difficult enough to have that card in hand to blow up the secret xmas tree
Objection!

the Reno card is boring but the only way to deal with the overpowered cards these days, u don't draw Reno = gg

so wait a sec. a deck that can flood the board and easily buff minions without a real counter? thanks alot I quit after facing 6x pally in a row.
Well only counter would be to clear the board every turn right? good job blizz,
