At diamond I see warrior 8/10 games, it is just unbearable to face this class over and over. This game will be dead soon, because players do not want to play 40 minute games just to have ZERO chance to win. I play vs warriors who misplay every other turn and still have no problem winning, because every freaking card in their deck is good.

You are seeing Warrior that much because Demon Hunter is out of control and people are also tired of exploding on turn 5.
No doubt you are using a deck that gets hard countered by control Warrior and are just salty over it.
I played Freeze Mage for years and the deck had like a 10% chance of getting a win against Control Warrior that was one of the most popular decks at the time( all the way back in 2015), lets not pretend this is anything new.
It was my choice to play Freeze Mage i knew when i got matched against a Control Warrior unless i had the best starting hand possible i was better off just conceding.
What i didnt do was complain in this forums that people were playing a deck that got free wins out of me.
I don’t know about unplayble, but it has made it uninteresting. I’d prefer facing anything else than a Warrior.

Warrior has made this game unplayable and DH, DK, Warlock. all of these needs serious nerfs… weakaning only 1 won’t change anything.
Yeah control warrior needs another round of nerfs for sure. It’s so boring to play against. I would actually be in favor of nerfing reno. It’s like super low skill card and control warrior is very low skill deck.

Warrior is for sure boring to play against but the only thing I actively dislike is how much sheer disruption that boomboss provides. No other card in the history of the game does as much damage to the opponents deck as that one brann or otherwise.

Best combo: Brann, Boomboss, Gaslight Gatekeeper. Insta-concede in most games I do that. 
One of the reason warrior is so strong is ability to gain armor and raise total life significantly above 30. Not the only reason, i am not ignoring Odyn, Brann, Boomboss or Tendrils, but those strategy can only happen because of armor gain.
Armor mean nothing for wincon like wheel of death, but really punish decks trying to win by pushing damage face. That being said, the power of hearthstone cards these day make armor gain literally the only effective defense, healing is not enough.
What i’m saying is warrior is a symptom of a deeper problem. The problem is power creep. Hearthstone is at its best when power is lower and game slower than today.
Look, the only reason mage is competitive is the skater card that allow mage to gain enough armor to survive. And before that, the card that saved mage was solid alibi.
As for priest, the only way the class can compete in the past few xpac is going aggro/shadow. Healing doesn’t cut it when odyn warrior hit you in the face for 20 each turn.
So i agree with many here, hearthstone needs not one but multiple nerf across the board to become enjoyable again.

Control warrior is just as boring to play as or against. I played 50 games of odyn Control warrior before rotation and got one of the easiest legend ofy life.
It’s just armor remove vs most decks.
And reno warrior is actually good xD

This is subjective. For some people this deck is boring and for others, that deck is boring. It’s really just a point of view. For instance, i find aggro deck uninteresting to play. Regardless if it’s pirates, murloc, beast, totem or zoo, it’s often right to think “the face is the place”.
But that’s me. I understand other people may not feel the same and their opinion is as valid as mine. Different styles for different folks.
The problem with Warrior is that it has a lot of clears.
I mean Warrior has more clears than any other class. When you pair board clears with survivability, you get this monster that drags you to late game and beats the game out of you.
I my opinion they gave Warrior too many clears… you have bladestorm, execute, shield slam, blast charge, bellowing flames, aftershock, brawl, sanitize, trial by fire, badlands brawler.
Show me another class that has so many AOE and single target clears.
Not to even mention the survivability and card draw… Its insane.

I wish I would see many warriors. They are managable and easily beatable with the deck I am playing.
And thats why you dont.
Do cards sell if no one needs them to win?
They wouldnt sell a winning formula and then make you lose until you buy it that would be unethical lol…
Priest. Yet control priest is completely absent from this meta.
Wheel Lock is the only thing keeping Warrior in check.
Indeed, Priest has SW: Pain, Holy Nova, SC: Distort, fight over me, fly of the shelves (very situational), invasive shadeleaf, serenity, SW: ruin, SW: steal, harmonic pop, lightbomb and repackage.
But not as much survivability. While heal is cool, you cannot heal above your max HP, while Warriors can.
This is why Priests are balanced, and in a more balanced meta he wouldn’t be absent.
But since Warriors have more survival, same clear potential and better draw, why would anyone play Priest?
