It's been discussed in r/competitivehs that the fatigue warrior deck has an improved matchup against combo druid if they can get Justicar out early and clear the board, especially against druids running Aspirants and Living Roots since they have to cut down on mid-game threats for those.
So far this season I've had a 100% winrate vs Hunter using Druid (of all classes), but I think the problem is that Hunters are trying to be too Midrange with King Elekks and Bear Traps. You DON'T have to use TGT cards just because they're new.

I made it to rank 8 last season as Hybrid. Not great but still. I'm going to be using Demon Handlock this season I think. People just don't know how to fight it at low ranks.
Cannot believe that just happened. Only way he could have won and he got it. Equality from spellslinger with 2 argus taunted giants...

Mmmmm I'd hold off on Demon Handlock until you're out of the ranks full of aggro decks but Handlock in general is very good when you're facing a lot of Warriors (of all types).

Rogue continues to perform. Had a couple BS losses (like druid's turn 7 combo for 28 damage), but still managed 8-5 record. Up to rank 7.
Really getting a lot out of sludge belcher in this meta. Especially against paladins where recovery usually is a very weak option and I need to prevent damage. Unlike face hunter or midrange hunter where I can get away with using healbot to win the match up, I need to do more against secret paladin than healbot back up.
I just played and beat a demon handlock by turn 7, wasn't even that good of a start for me

Mostly playing as control warrior and had a similar experience.
Then again, I understand the need to use TGT cards. Why even play the game at all if you're not going to use new cards.

I've made a very easy climb to rank 5 the past two seasons with Face Hunter. No TGT cards. The class is still scummy.
But yeah, I won the fastest vs the Midrange Hunter decks experimenting with TGT stuff.

That's how I got to 5 the first time too. When the deck draws perfectly there is basically nothing that can stop it which is ridiculous. But it also keeps the super greedy control decks honest. It's just a little too effective for my tastes.

Hilarious game
I like that it will copy the justicar versions as well. I would love to see a hunter with tank up, lol.

Holy shit that actually happened? I saw Rania in the cam out of the corner of my eye and saw chat spamming shit like TriHard How good is burgle TriHard and thought it was all a big rib. Thats fucked up. Hope everything is ok. That robber should have skipped the Kripp.

the worst feeling in the game is going on that losing streak that drops you a rank, you're sitting on that empty bar thinking, please, please, at least let me hold onto the rank I've got, and then you get your worst matchup and a shit draw and it's over.
In August i was rank 1 with 5 stars. Literally one win from legendary. It was also my full first month playing the game i started at the end of July. I ran into patron x5 dropped to rank 2 and never recovered. Didn't even do rank in September. Lol.... man.
Maint.
Don't know what alternate universe EU server you're playing on but I still can't get off the mark this season, stuck on Rank 20 right now.

EU is hard mode
US is easy mode
(it actually depends on where you've spent more time on as that's part of the matchmaking consideration, especially at low ranks)

NSFW warning for Brian Kibler Gaming's Brian "Brian Kibler" Kibler orgasming live on stream.
I don't know how it is at rank 20, but in single digit ranks competition is way tougher on EU. Pretty much second half of month, rank 10 and better it's just gold heroes and legend card backs across the board. US? It's really easy, there is like zero face hunters on EU server, US is still has a LOT of face hunters....give up people.
During qualifiers casters were saying how Otskaka doesn't play on EU ladder because getting legend points is easier on US as EU server has more legend players every season.

Yeah that's bullshit. Rank 5 and up is nothing but legend card backs and gold heroes on US.
idk, that's what happens to me in the trench. maybe you're just unlucky
oh ok, this explains it. I hardly played on EU
Sure, that just starts at about 10 on EU and it's not a first week thing, it's business as usual.
I saw loads of gold portraits on US last month from 10 on even doing it in the 20s nearing the end of the month. Seems like a heavy YMMV thing.

This whole EU vs US thing is stupid. Top players have remarked that at top ranks they do not differ significantly from each other.
