I haven't played too much hearthstone in the last months, mostly doing my dailies and getting r5 every season is what I'm aiming at.
I don't feel like aggro decks is the main issue, they have been around for the beginning of hearthstone.
What triggers me is a bit of everything. Aggro is among the list, Cleef and Adventurer sometimes fuck me over pretty hard too.
I don't really like what Reno decks have become. They took out the classic control decks as we know them. Only alternative is some Jade Decks, which also get boring after a while. And run over by aggro.
The mechanics that allowed control decks to survive Aggro Agression have also gone to Standard, like Healbot or Sludge Belcher.
Flametongue totems have become so strong with aggro Shaman having all those Tokens on the board. The amount of possible value is insane.
Something like dragon priest is fun. But they had to put ridiculous cards like Drakonid Crusher in to make it work. And besides that they killed any other possible Priest variation.
What also gets me is that your entirely reliant on RNG. Whether it's Rogue, Shaman, Warrior etc. This has always been the case, but it feels like this more than ever before.
Besides that Hunter has vanished and Paladin only has the Murloc variant if I'm correct.
That leads to the fact that the number of decks which can be played on a competitive level is really thinned out.
I don't know that much about the game, that's just a few thoughts that come to my mind.
But I regularly watch streams from good players and they also feel like Hearthstone is not as enjoyable anymore.
It wont get better until people stop playing it. Currently it still makes tons of money and blizzard has no reason to make significant changes. I wouldnt expect it to get better anytime soon.
