Probably warrior the least. If I had the cards it seems like it would be enjoyable if you are looking to play a long, chess like match, but with minimum legendaries I'm all about straight to yo face.

The objectively correct answer was Warlock. Handlock and Zoo are about as wildly different as it is possible to get with two decks based on the same hero, and mulliganing for one when you're facing the other can put you at a serious disadvantage from the very beginning.

I think you're answering the wrong question. He asked what do you dislikeplayingthe most, not which one you dislike playing against.

Oh, yeah, I was going off the first answer and missed the correction.

I think I like Shaman the least, and I think Shaman is objectively the worst class in Hearthstone. Overload is a terrible mechanic, most of the overload cards are underpowered because of Overload, and too many of your games will come down to the RNG of whether you rolled high or low on a critical Lightning Storm, or whether you had shit luck with your totem rolls. They also have arguably the worst vanilla class legendary, and the only reason their GvG legendary isn't the worst GvG class legendary is because Flame Leviathan sets a new standard for terrible.

I hate playing against Priest and Paladin and also don't really like playing as Shaman. Gavin hit a lot of good points on it but I disagree on their Legendary, it's basically required to run any of the successful decks and imo there are worse Vanilla Legendaries (Velen, Krush - even if he's cool, I would also say Van Cleef especially now after the miracle fucking).

Swatting insects is worse than King Krush? It's pretty awesome when you actually get to play him, but the whole point of playing a hunter seems to be end the game before turn 8 so it's pretty much a dead card if you even happen to draw it in the first quarter of the game.

Shit most of the vanilla class legendaries sucked. Tirion, Grommash, Jaraxxus and much later Van Cleef were the only ones that really saw any competitive play and of those only Grommash and Tirion were so good that they were worth putting in any class deck.

I definitely made some gimmick Velen and Antonidas decks, but they weren't East to climb past 12 with. I agree with the above poster. krush was the worst vanilla legendary.

I don't play very well after about 40 oz. of beer.

I actually took the time to grind out legend today. What a snoozer. I ended up with a ton of mirror matches with Control Warrior, and entirely too many Priests. I fucking hate Priests. I hate Paladins too, but that's more because I think Quartermaster is a badly designed card that forces you to kill every single token or you just get fucked. So you end up making a bunch of bad plays or you lose. Priest is just fucking stupid though, I hate it so much. Nothing like losing to a Priest because he thoughtstole your Alexstraza and used it on his face at 1 hp.

What's killing me right now are the atrocious choices in the draft. I've watched enough vids and read enough guides that I understand the importance of a smooth curve and board control, but the last draft, out of 90 card choices, I was offered a total of five 4-drops (2 lightwells but no divine spirits) and I found myself having to pick between between 1's, 2's, and 3's, WAY too many times. Was offered 3 Mind Controls and 4 Holy Novas (only took 1 MC and 2 novas) and when I had enough of those had to choose between more shitty 2 drops. Wasn't offered any Velens Chosen, no northshires or no thoughtsteals. It was impossible to draft a decent curve, was offered no card draw at all and just got my ass stomped three in a row. I'm still tilted over it.
Card value is also a consideration, I would have taken all four of those Holy Novas. It might suck on wins 7-12, but it'll get you out of the "FACE FACE FACE" swamp that wins 1-5 usually are.

Also this is how I feel about constructed when I get above rank 5. No win streaks makes getting to legend a GRIND. Every loss is just painful because I know it is one more win I need. In arena I lose 3 times and its over.

It's so disheartening when you drop a few games in a row past rank 5, especially when it's control city and games take 15+ minutes. The Control Warrior match goes to fatigue so often. It's just a slog.

Can't decide what I want to do for the rest of the season. Try hard on legend rank (seems pointless), get all the classes to 60 (35 total levels to go), or go for a few golden heroes (Warrior, Warlock, and Hunter are mid 250's, others have like nothing).

Edit: I think I'm dreading getting Rogue to 60 the most. I don't know why, but I just have never really enjoyed it. Miracle was okay for a while, and it's an interesting math puzzle, but for the most part I just don't like Rogue decks. Maybe I'll try to update the old Backspace Rogue

Finally got my first Golden Portrait. I never farmed rank 20's for it. And with Control Warrior, it takes a fucking long time because any games that aren't against Aggro can go forever. Even games where I've "won" by turn 5 or 6 will tend to drag out for 15 turns as the opponent falls further and further behind.

Heroic Naxx is an exercise in pure, total, and unfettered frustration. Noth is stone walling me at the moment.

(with starting cards)

I did manage to kill him, but LOLOL! ICE BLOCK BITCH! and he finished me off.

Damn, the rage I feel right now is legit.

Heroic naxx only gets you a card back btw. Maybe that's what you're going for but might not be worth the frustration atm if you're still trying to fill out your collection. I remember a couple encounters were pretty bullshit.

Heigan, Noth, and KT were the annoying ones iirc.

You can find my string of posts bitching about it a few months ago.
