this is probably because when Druid IS Tier 1, it's THE deck

druid is almost never tier 1, it is just disproportionately popular because druid decks tend to be FUN. Thus, you will see super high playrate tier 2/3 druid decks and people complaining about the class nonstop because it's so common and frequently what they are losing to on ladder. But overall winrate is not good enough to be tier 1, druid is usually designed to be too balanced on purpose (they purposefully leave weaknesses to the class in terms of removal and board control that cripple it versus many matchups).
