Which server are you on and at what rank? I'm NA and hovering around 18 and generally this rank seems to get all the bad players with good cards. It's a mix between good players with bad cards and bad players with good cards. Brackish water, if you will.
NA Rank 8. But to be honest my budget Rogue deck usually kills non-Druids by turn 6-8 so I'm not sure if my opponents even had Molten Giants.
Also you're the guy who gave me the beta key in a TL contest. Thanks once again haha!

Welcome 
And yeah, I feel that the 20-15 area in Hearthstone is probably the "elo hell" zone that all matchmaking games seem to have. Once I get over this hump I'm adamant that things will get better.
It's also funny you mention turn 6-8 wins against Druids because that's pretty much how it goes for me. If I make it past round 8 my win rate improves substantially, but unfortunately mostly Shamans/Rogues just destroy me before then.
Why is it Rogues always get coin and manage to draw Defias Ringleader?

What else should you be aware of when drafting in arena?
I've always felt Mage is high on 4 drop commons (water ele, poly, fireballz)

It seems I always get that combo UNLESS it's Druid. Then I get first turn with all my high cost cards
So as you can see I've been winning games by praying I don't play Druids. And it's worked partially

Also I expect ladder to be much more terrifying as the ladder resets every month. I thought waiting a few days was enough to stop playing all the legendary-filled decks. Turns out it never ends

Some people cant play directly when the ladder resets, some tend to have a really poor decision making alongside said legendaries. I have seen so many very poorly played Deathwing, Sylvanas, Ragnaros, ... it made me cringe and win.

Casual players are more likely to have less skill than more dedicated players are.
Casual players are also more likely to spend money on card packs.
The end result is that there will probably always be a ton of legendaries in the lower brackets from casuals that bought them, then a bit of a gap, and then more legendaries once you reach the good players.

so...
what's everyone's solution to deal with the aggro hunters AND the control warlocks?
|
What makes you think casual players are more likely to spend money on packs?? I dont get it. The bottom tier will be noobs who only got basic cards, as long as there are new players entering the game. The ladder system awards grinding a lot with the bonus stars.
I figured the packs are way too expensive to be worth it. I like to compare with buying a game like starcraft 2, €10 for 50 packs and I would consider it. I will rather enjoy the slow building of a good free deck, and im doing alright, 15 and climbing!

You could play one or the other and not worry about both anymore ;-)

How do bonus stars reward grinding?
|
if you play alot, and let's say you go 50/50
each time you win you get a star and each time you lose you lose one
BUT
with bonus stars, if you win 3 in a row and then lose 3 in a row, even after going 50% winrate, you still have a gain from the bonus stars. you can gain stars even with a negative w/l ratio if you play a very high quantity of games
|
Thanks That doesn't really bother me at all.

The bottom tier most certainly isn't "noobs who only got basic cards". Even with a fresh wave of beta invites going out nearly 70% of the players I've encountered between ranks 20 and 15 have multiple legendaries in their deck. It's also very easy to tell that half of them bought cards instead of earning them because they have no clue what they are doing when they play them.
Couple this with the fact that ladder resets every month and all the good players end up starting over again at the bottom... it's only going to get harder and harder each season.

Have they stated it will always be a hard reset?

It removed my "right" to switch a quest but the one I clicked remained. I shrugged (there's worse than "win 3 with a race" for 40, I just wanted a 60 gold quest) but that's not the intended behaviour.
It could have replaced the quest you cancelled with the same quest. It just chooses one at random so there is a chance you will get the same one.

Could you explain the comparison? SC2 cost around $60 on release.

Presumably because even $60 only gets you a small fraction of the available game content.
I don't care personally, not spent any money yet and don't intend to.

the crash report folder named "2014-01-17-205124" next to game executable. It would be great if you'd send it to the developer of the game!
I'm a scrub with PCs, does anyone have any idea what I can solve?
