The meta is balanced, but the complaints come from the types of games we see right now. Because of Zilliax and Hydration Station, no other control or midrange deck can survive, so it's made aggro and OTK too prominent to counterbalance it. It sucks to die to a lamplighter or a billion zilliax and so many new cards are left to rot. A couple of balance changes should make it feel better
Absolutely correct. It’s like every deck needs a win condition and well, those win conditions don’t feel good if you are on the receiving end. Opponent plays infinite zilliax? Feels like shit. Opponent hits you for 15 on turn 3 with pirate warrior? Feels like shit. Opponent otk you turn 6 with combo druid feels like shit. Lamplighter? Feels like shit. Showodwn into beam? Feels like shit. Excavate rogue casino luck? Feels like shit. But if you don’t have a way to make your opponent feel like shit, then most of the time the deck is losing. Ie death knight, big spell mage, etc
