About the pre constructed decks...

Am I the only one who dislikes that T5 released these so early into the meta and has not bothered to update them, despite the fact most of them have been nerfed and do not see any competitive play? How many of them could you realistically keep a positive wr with anyways? It just seems kind of dishonest that these are being described as meta when only the paladin, priest, and warrior decks are.

Your face is already dead
Sure, but that has been the modus operandi for a long time. Who even plays these pre-constructed decks anyway?
If you are instead referring to the 'battle-ready' decks that were sold for 20 bucks, well that's another thing. If the meta shifts later on, it wouldn't make much sense for team5 to start offering apology notes. Many of them were fairly limited to begin with, like how face hunter has 2x Tame Beast (Rank 1) when this was literally never used in face hunter throughout the barrens meta. I thought many players agreed that if they bought it at all it was because it was offering guaranteed legendaries, not because the decks were relevant for ranking.
I agree that it'd be nice for T5 to change their policy on updating pre-built decks within a season. For example, I'm guessing that they don't update the pre-made decks that new players can choose after conquering the beginner ranks which seems at odds with the goal of those decks.
Unfortunately, I also agree with dapperdog that it's unlikely that they'll ever make this a priority given that Whizbang and Zayle didn't spur them into action. However, maybe the new $20 "battle-ready" decks will cause this change if they think enough people would purchase them later if they weren't outdated.
Updating decks raises at least 2 hassles:
My answer for #1 - I think pushing out one update per season a couple weeks after the mini-expansion would be a reasonable starting point.
My answer for #2 - If you only release 1 update, then I think you don't have to offer any compensation to those that already chose/purchased their deck.
