Newbie and getting trashed by Expert players

I just started playing Hearthstone and I’m getting trashed by players that obviously aren’t new.

@Norteklaser-2435

There’s been quite a lot of complaints about match making.

Yep. While my latest experience with Standard isn’t very recent (before that little bit, I hadn’t played it since Un’Goro’s launch), it was also like this:

Oh, I suppose I could even say it about Standard, which I hadn’t touched for years, but made a small exception during the previous event (this one, I think: https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/ulduar-grand-championship-in-game-event-guide-how-to-unlock-all-the-free-rewards/, and the last task in particular — dunno why I bothered, but it was an experiment, I guess). So, I grabbed a budget deck at hand and gave it all a go. The sequence of matches looked roughly like this: a hound hunter (what the like of you would call a ‘meta tyrant’ at that point and a direct counter to this one) — a blizzbot — another hound hunter — another blizzbot… So yeah, after hitting 5 wins or so for the seasonal card back, since I was already halfway there anyway, I decided: that was it, I’d had my look — still no reason to bother with the wonderful experience of playing Standard, possibly for years to come.

I should have been treated as a beginner, I guess, and matched to others, instead, they’d give me a netdecker with a super-optimised deck, then a ‘consolation’ blizzbot, and so on.
