After 2 years I can't reach rank 5 for the first time

I mean, you say that, but have you been paying attention to the way the meta is constantly shifting since Un'goro?

Almost every game I play now is against priests, with the occasional mage, and the very occasional anything else. The deck I used to get from 18 to 5 this month? Almost always loses against priests and mages. My other decks? Almost always lose against priests and mages.

Not everyone has the money to have multiple viable decks. I know that I, personally, am not looking forward to laddering next month because I have a feeling that it's going to be another horrible grind against decks that are hard counters to my preferred decks.

In fact, I've recently started going through my older, out-of-use decks to see if any of them are good against this wave of priests and mages. Do you know what I've found? Discard zoolock isn't half bad right now. Yeah. Discard zoolock.

The meta is shifting nearly every week and I can easily see someone getting stuck because of it. It's really annoying. It's even worse for those of us that refuse to spend anymore money on this game.

It's the ol' F2P problem. Those of you with plenty of money and huge amounts of cards can easily create decks that counter the current meta. F2P players and low-investment players cannot. Those players are fucked.
