Okay I read your post and I said that you are not right.. I usually play a lot of creative decks, and I want to have fun.
So, I tried a dwarf deck for the first time this season to see the results , guess what..
I made 6-0 without event try to think. All I needed to do was to spam , spam and wait for the win.
After those matches I became so bored that I quited Gwent for today. You re right, this deck does not requires brain. and I hate it.
Though I don t agree with compensation, it is your choice to not play this op deck. I understand that you have some self respect, but to require compensation for your ego is not enough.
My conclusion: you have two options, either you want high ranks and avatars, borders, you play most op decks. But me , personally , I am becoming bored if I do not think in my matches. Or you play for fun, you enjoy the game, but you do not unlock high ranks.
You can , in future to do both things, first weeks play op decks, then you play your decks.
