Just got to legend, and whole meta is extremely toxic Rock Paper Scissors (but not decks, rather hands)

I just beat the hell out of some poor DK, got to Legend.

My conclusion is that whole meta is extremely Rock Paper Scissors, where it's not that Deck A beats B, then B beats C, and C beats A. No.

It's that your initial draw, plus maybe the next 4 cards (occasional Discover), decides the game.

If I drew Rock, and you drew Scissors, that's it, you are dead by turn 5. Look at the screenshot there, I slammed the poor guy in the face for 30, on turn 5. How could I do that? Because I drew a good hand, and he drew a bad hand.

And because games happen so quickly, there are no second chances. It's not like you will eventually draw most of your deck, and get most of your cards, so you can fight. Nope. You get your initial 4 cards, draw 4 more, and that's it.

Any game that I lost, I lost because I drew Overheat and Panther Mask in my opening hand. Or I had something unplayable stuck between Wildwood Circle. Opponent had basically nothing to do with winning those games, all they had to do is simply draw better. Shaman had to draw 3 of his small Heralds. Hunter had to draw some small minions and 2 Confronts. And I cannot beat that if my initial 6-8 cards are incorrect.

A game that's decided on initial draw is ridiculous.
