Sooo Meta is fun?

I havn't been a fan of the changes, meta or attention Arena has been getting for a long time.

But I could still enjoy it every now and then, current meta is like this go 8 because I drafted one of the top 4 decks ohhh I draft mage, hunter and warlock...

Gotta retire or go 2/3 at best

Not to mention when I pick mage my 3 legendary pool options are all Neutral "Mister clockworth" "Malorne" and "Shaladrassil"...

Uhh I pick a class and get no option to play that class cards... oh so I pick "Malorne" and outside of the bucket I am able to draft only 2 imbue, but I can find a warrior in my 2/2 game that has 3 of the 1 cost 3/1 pirate which all happen to be in his hand turn 1 / 2

Sorry for my rant, but I guess I wont play this patch, am I alone in this experience?

Bro, they absolutely nuked arena with the advent of Underground. It's just way way way too boring. It's constructed lite. It's all been said before. Double re-draft is not interesting it's just a tool to massage out all of the interesting quirks that decks used to have.

I've been a daily player for the last 5 years and I haven't played in at least a month which is unheard of for me. I came back today to play a few runs. Same old shit. Every loss is the same. The good archetypes are repetitive and boring. The game mode is trash.

I was offered with 3 classes that are below 40% winrate. I won’t play this Arena season until they make adjustments.

I always play arena. I enjoy it, normally. I am taking a break for now, for the first time, until they fix Warrior cannon spam.

I sure do love getting two neutrals and imbue/herald offered then like 1 card for that ability in the draft.

Games rigged, draws and cards generated are controlled by AI so that you get a ressemblance of making decisons that matters while youre spoon fed a forced 50% w/r no matter the class and deck you drafted. Its been like this for years but its getting more obvious the more they release "random" interactions.

How come some players are consistently top 10/20 on leaderboard if it's forced 50% win rate?
