So I've been playing control warrior for the past few seasons and always did decently well (low legend ranks) and this season I'm doing so much more poorly. Not sure what to attribute it to but I lose fairly consistently to a number of decks including mid range hunter, any paladin and most warlocks. Lost my last few games against a dragon priest and shaman which really put me over the edge. Don't have a pic but I'm running kitkatz most recent iteration except using Harrison over saraad.

Any avid control warrior players shed light on this? How successful have you been on the ladder?

The Meta is just bad for control warriors, did you replace your acolytes and cruel task masters for slams and bashes?

Yes. I no longer run any cruels or acolytes.

Are you consistently losing to priest? I have like 90% winrate against priest as CW.

About 50-50. They are able to maintain the board against me with a few high health minions that are generally out of reach with weapons. This forces me to use premium removal or multiple cards to clear. The ones I lose to never over extend into a brawl; putting on just enough pressure to prevent me from doing so. Typically there will be a twilight and a corrupter or something on board that doesn't warrant a brawl but I cannot clear them without using execute or ss. The one threat I drop a turn is usually cleared and the pressure continues.

Midrange minions are just kryptonite to this deck..
