Blizzard, I want to write only bad words to you. Worst meta ever. So tired of dying on turn 5-6, even with 46 hp (control warrior).
Paladin buffs+permanent divine is some trash., if you leave 1-1 on board - next turn it’s 15-15 and remove your board (keeper strange +Crusader Aura +2x Gardens Grace).
Blindeye shooter almost always lethal on turn 5, besides how is it possible to draw 20 cards until this turn? Even the control doesn’t have so much draw.
Warlock make 20 hp difference for 6 mana. I played 2 Rats and still lose the game on turn 7.
I’m usually rank 1-2k but now I’m 10k. 
P.s. can provide replays.

Well aggro paladin is disgusting but it is still not worse than pirate warrior’s guaranteed turn 4-5 lethal.

It’s painfully bad. Like it makes me angry how bad it is. I just can’t wait to get my dailies done. Then I have to put this crap down and go find something better to do
Oh well, one of these days (hopefully in the not too distant future) we’ll hear news that Team 5’s house has been cleaned and all of these scrubs are no longer developing games for anyone anywhere. Maybe we’ll get devs that understand that this whole mess needs to be thrown out the window and a fresh restart is the only thing that can save it

It’s should be shocking just how terribly this game has been managed the past few years by people who are paid to develop it.
But then again, it takes a few moments to look at team 5 current employees twitter to realize the team is full of dull, unremarkable, and self absorbed clowns.

I’d like to see your top ten list of worst metas. Also how long have you been playing?
Are you playing Wild? Or just a bad memory?
Lol you’ll be fired before that happens
Could you link to a specific example and provide commentary? I want to learn the mystic arts of clown detection

Iskar had a lot of influence on how the game tanked so badly. His flat out refusal to balance Wild and leaving the format in a sorry state being a huge part of it.
I just hate how most games barely start, they’re literally decided by turn 3 if you’re not playing some casino mage/rogue hoping for an rng out

I’ve been playing since late 2014 when Goblins vs Gnomes came out. The only bad patch for me was “The Witchwood”. The best is definitely “Journey to Un’Goro”.
Cards are getting stronger and stronger every year. Previously, 8-8 on 4/5 crystal was something incredible (like Fel Reaver). Now on turn 3 it is normal to have several minions with a total attack of 8. In the theoretical year 2030, lethal will on turn 1-2 , games will be max 1 minute each.
I think it is necessary to increase the HP of the hero, at least to 40.
It’s also time to change the mulligan. I don’t understand the logic when you get 3 cards, you replace them, and the same ones come in a different sequence.
I think the starting coin should not be counted as a spell and not knock down the counterspell or be used as a combo for the rogue.

It’s literally impossible to mulligan into a card you mulliganed out of. If you run two of the same card the two cards are considered separate, and the first draw on turn 1 can be a mulliganed card, but still.
I exaggerated my emotions a little 
I didn’t have this situation, but quite often it happened that you change 3 cards and 2 of them come again. Yes, I understand that these are other copies (I’m talking only about mulligan). But this is not correct, in my opinion.
I don’t want to find it but Aleco trying to redefine what power creep means instead of accepting any accountability for the lazy power creep fiesta each expansion results in.
Or songbird in a now deleted tweet insulting customers that didn’t care for the random modifiers in standard.

I found the Tweet and I agree with the Wiktionary definition. That said, I didn’t see any attempt at redefinition. It seemed to me that Aleco was saying that we should be precise with our terminology and was defending the Wiktionary definition.
Edit: my bad, I misread. I don’t use Twitter/X very much.
Nah Aleco was saying that the Wiktionary definition was bad when it’s actually pretty solid so I agree with you here. I don’t know what if anything he thought would be a better definition.
Fix your broken Meta, tired of Mages… aka non stop control OTK with Sif, Tired of DH’s with turn 6 kills with stupid Naga’s, tired of Hunters with turn 6 kills, make the game something that doesn’t kill you in 6-7 turns. This is just insane how you keep breaking the game and take forever to fix it.

Worst meta ever…is it a great one? Nope! But if you’ve been here several years you know this being the worst meta is simply not true. Just say “I don’t like this meta and this is why”. Don’t make absolute statements that can only come from a newbie lol.

Not even remotely a serious conversation. This is in fact one of the best metas. Sure a few cards are a tad too good but with a slight change to them it can be fixed. The coming patch addresses most of it but it’s not that bad.

We are kinda lucky that most people playing hearthstone nowadays do not care so much.
If something as flawled as naga DH was print during the early years it would hit deck of lunacy playrates really fast.
In other words:
Yes, the meta isn’t that bad. No, it isn’t thanks to blizzard but to the average player not caring anymore.
Also game balancing wise the errors are getting worse and they really need that shake up.

This meta is not friendly to me being a rogue main, but meh, I still hobbled to legend and am happy enough in dumpster legend trying to find something that works.
I wouldn’t say it’s the worst meta. I’d say it’s a meta with problematic cards, namely Paladins, mages, Warrior, all have problems needing to be addressed. DH potentially as well but I’d like to see those three addressed first.
Anyways, worst meta ever is always the one where some kind of control priest is top.
Couldn’t agree more with op, ****show of a meta. Don’t even know what they can do to fix it, there are way too many decks that end the game by turn 5-6 now. I’m considering going back to LoR for the near future, Mordekaiser is in the next expansion baby.
