I’m playing at rank 2 currently and it’s shaman after shaman with a mix of rogue for 30 games (over 2 days).
I’m fed up with this meta. Also I am a mage player for those wondering.

Shamanstone is the best stone.
Midrange is the best format.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

Are you kidding me?
Or you are having fun playing this absolute cancer on ladder with the other 30k guys?
Only 1 deck should be super viable? Games close at turn 4 ? BALANCED RIGHT?

Wrong.
It depends. Not in this case, however.
Enjoying Hearthstone was never an option.

We had shamanstone in the past during Karazhan and people still played HS and gave money to Blizzard. So have fun and don’t forget to buy packs with money.

Your statement is invalid.

mage is just bad against them. Try deck that can fight the turn 4 evolve.

Like what? Coin brawl or coin mass hysteria ? What else?
I saw lots of crying about turn 5-6 giants ,but nooo ,shaman is okay,because turn 4 almost full board for 16 mana is okay.
If by midrange you mean cheating out minions through evolve.
When they don’t hit turn 4 Evolve or just don’t draw Evolve at all, or they low-roll the turn 4 Evolve, or the Evolve is mitigated by board control pressure, the deck pretty much plays a midrange style.
Because god forbid Shaman is actually good for like 1 second.

Swap to control shaman to beat all of them regularly except for Quest Shaman which is a 50/50 and you’ll make them mad for a long game.
For someone who doesn’t complain and plays this game since closed beta on and off, I survived Raging Worgen Molten Giant OTK Warrior, Miracle Rogue, Savage Roar Force of Nature Druid, Undertaker Hunter, Mech Mage, Grim Patron Warrior(but in all honesty, it was high skill deck) Yogg Saron decks, I am sure someone will remember even more cancerous decks, but by far this is the worst meta I ever played. Not just Shaman, all bloody quests are poorly designed. Some of those effects were ripped straight from the cards, Fandral, Brann, Fizzlebang… Who thought this was a good idea? Those effects belong on cards for a reason.

this event tells you everything you need to know about the hearthstone team and that is that they don’t give a ****

Shaman has been decent for nearly a year now. These “buffs” weren’t needed, or warranted.
I play exclusively evolve quest shaman. I hit hare + evolve 1 game out of 4 approximatively.

I think anything that’s described as only “decent” deserves and warrants buffs.
Since when have ‘decent’ and ‘viable’ been negative adjectives?
Because calling shaman needed buffs is silly, to say the least.
What other deck have insane highroll potential in early turns to win you the game till some combo or flood of Khartut Defenders would hit in mid-late game?
Evolve shaman might not be a deck we deserved, but its definitely a deck we need.
