Hello, new player here. Really not having the slightest bit of fun playing the game with a loaner deck. Chose druid deck because it seemed cool and I am just getting crushed and I am only rank 8. No reason to play this game when I lose over and over against decks that can just some stupidly overpowered minions and a lot of them over and over again. Who thought this would be a fun thing? Especially for new players coming into the game?

The priest deck and warlock decks are good. Have you tried those loaners? I have loaners right now as well because I just got out of the noob ranks.
There’s also a chance you’re not playing the deck proper, but idk.
The game is full of hard counters, very “rock paper scissors” archtypes.
Too many players have a large amount of druid cards due to previous periods of power. The result is a large number players picking rogues since it is very powerful counter to druid. Its own counters are not being played, so it is running rampant with not only high consistency but also win rate.

The druid starter deck is pretty decent and it is the one I picked, reality is it is an unpolished deck and even then you probably only pick it because ultimately guff is one of the only good legendaries in any of the starter decks. Rogue will get nerfed, but ultimately I’m not sure it’ll make your time any easier, you’ll have a month of something else seeming to be too powerful, followed by a miniset which will create a new problem for a month, followed by a few more months of feeling like your cards are almost good enough to compete, but maybe just not quite.
The best thing to do for quickest wins in my opinion is zoo warlock in classic and it might not be your cup of tea, but you can buy about 5000 gold worth of classic packs and play it out of the gate for like 70% winrate all the way up til at least plat/diamond if you are any decent at card games.

Did you really expect to win right out of the box, as it were?
Uninstalling the game won’t fix this problem, because this is a YOU problem.

Can you clarify if DR rogue is what you are complaining about or miracle rogue? Both perform pretty well in the meta, so it could be either one from your description.
The way to play against DR rogue is completely different than miracle rogue. But they are not impossible to defeat.
See you on Tuesday, my dude!

ah yeah, even if you’re the lottery winner who hits turn4 starfish, the silence still doesn’t clear the board.
hold my beer you troll
Congratulations to the Blizzard Balance Team, who thinks at some point the exaggeration with the rogue should be a good thing, you have once again taught them a lesson.
Once again, everyone was allowed to see that it’s all about selling, because the Blizzard I knew would never have released such garbage on the players.
Yeah the hunter zap deck got nerfed after24 hrs as it was only beatable by specially designed counter decks. Blizzard these “gimmick” decks cheapen the game. I have thousands of wins and just quit anytime someone plays a silly feedback loop deck (AKA Rogue)
Or Blizzard creating unbeatable gimmick decks to sell new material consistently

You are either not a new player, you are using the argument made by someone who isn’t a new player or by chance picked the overpowered deck.
The game shouldn’t be balanced around what a new player thinks about the meta, because a new player by definition doesn’t know how to play, what to play and what is strong.
If you are really a new player and you are uninstalling already for this reason, keep the game uninstalled, because it is always like this, it’s not an exception nor a rare occurrence.

man oh man, don’t you think that new players get information in streams or on sites like hs replay, viciouss, donkey and and?
wake up man, 99% of the players are only netdeckers.
that’s why you’re currently only playing against blizzard’s unbalanced decks.
and every new player plays against metadecks insta, that’s the way it is today, that’s the game, that’s the design, unfortunately.
it doesn’t matter if you’re new or not, you’re playing against the unbalanced metadecks. Point.
you’ll only get the game halfway going again if all the minions have small stats AND removels and hero spell damage is reduced, then and only then you’re back to board play!!
if there is enough damage on the board on turn4 to kill the hero, then something is wrong and it’s only going to get worse. then there are combos
That’s also why freeze stuff is coming back like spooky mage, because that’s the last way to handle a full board on turn4 or turn5.
@lorps, if you are new and want to have fun playing a card game i can only give you one tip.
install and play marvel snap.

to sell? maybe buy something, for example people who test their own expansion before it is sold.!
I know that, I remember clearly losing against big spell mage and odd paladin when I first started, while playing with a deck with ysera and tirion 
But at least I didn’t pretend to know these 2 decks were unbalanced, I recognized my decks weren’t as good as theirs so I switched to casual and only played ladder with a face hunter (literally the only deck that wasn’t an automatic loss for me at that time).

What “unbeatable” gimmick decks?
Do all the daily quests, reroll the weekly quests that require you to win ranked games and do those rerolled ones, all of which will quickly build you up a nice amount of gold, then go booster pack shopping and build you up a nice proper deck.
Be fair, Druid and rogue are beyond broken at the moment no matter what you play.

not true,
Rogue, DH and Priest are broken.
Druid ist too slow and you have time and a lot of chances to counter to him
(plaguespreader, theotar , mutanus) DK got also Patchwork
DH you can easy fix, Rogue and Priest is more difficult doing it right.
No Druid is massively broken, hence why it’s every other game I play.
Rogue, rogue, Druid, Druid, rogue, Druid… fun.
Druid is very beatable, it’s just obnoxious.
