Why did I have this win rate if the matchmaking is rigged?

I am having a similar experience. I am currently around 4000 Legend rank in Europe, and I am playing almost exclusively Miracle Rogue. I was at 2600 and I started losing non stop, so my current WR has gone down significantly recently (used to be at around 55-57%). Here’s my HS Replay data on miracle rogue from 121 games:

63-58 (52% WR)

19% Death Knights
17% Hunters
17% Rogues (most of them Thieves)
11% Mages
11% Demon Hunters
10% Druids
4% Paladins
3% Warlocks
3% Warriors
2% Shamans
2% Priests

So I have 2 questions from this:

a) Is Miracle Rogue really as broken as people say? I will concede that maybe I am just not very good at it; but I don’t think I missplay very often and I have been able to climb quite consistently with it until now. I am certainly biased tho. Regardless, I do lose quite a bit and against a wide range of decks. It sometimes flops miserably and you’re completely helpless and even when you manage to pop off strongly sometimes you get a board clear and you have used all your resources and it is hard to come back.

b) Is everyone that complains about roguestone playing in the top 1000s? I don’t know if I am alone experiencing this, but everywhere else the meta seems significantly diverse, moreso than at many other points in recent times.

I am not trying to say that we don’t need balance changes urgently or that rogue doesn’t need nerfs (If only just because I am SO tired of this high-steroid meta); but I have been experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance between a lot of the current complaints and my own experience of the game. So I would like to know if I am the only one.
