So i thought i try get to rank 5 from rank 8 this month ON THE VERY LAST DAY of November. Tried even lock even shaman got shut down by control. Tried quest rouge got shut down by aggro. So finally had to give in to aggro.
Got upto to Rank 6 playing odd paladin, needed 3 stars to get to rank 5. I got matched with lock at rank 5 and i thought this is where I am turning off the game. Turns out it was control lock and i was damn lucky and won the game. https://hsreplay.net/replay/SbSGoeNpKyKNEidWvPMQMf.
Needed one more star to get to rank 5 and i got matched with the same guy again flashshadow. Against all hope i sent him a friend request which he accepted. (Chat below)
Even after losing the match he not only accepted the request but also gave me the win. Flashshadow here to you my man!!!!! Cheers mate and thank you.
100 milion players celebration the other day but still faced same opponent twice in a row in standard. Great job Blizzard .
It has happened to me but its cause ive been playing Wild at 2AM so i guess it makes sense. Don't q immediately if u faced an unfavourable match.
Btw most ppl are actually cooler than u think in HS but its the toxic ones that make noise which doesn't invalidate the fact that most are good guys. I would have let u win too btw.
Now next season u quickly rank up to lvl 5 with odd pally so u can start playing new RR decks when they hit on the 4th in a great rank 5

Man i have a pretty bad experience whenever i try to play between 1st to 10th of each month. So many sharks and toxic people that squelching has now become a habit whenever i start the game between those days. But i think ill give it a try this December.
Yeah i never said my getting to rank 5 is the achievement.
It seemed like it, otherwise you wouldn't think it's such a big deal and thread worthy just for that.
This thread is not about rank 5, it's about a random act of kindness. While it is kind of sad that something like this is noteworthy, it does show that there are at least a few decent people out there who don't just focus on themselves. Kudos to FlashShadow, I tip my hat.

Now to pass that kindness along somehow. If you can't spot a win to someone in that similar position, at least add people and give them compliments on their win, or their efforts in spite of losing. I've done that when people add me after their win and have had all of them only say nice things in return. It helps to try to be the proactive one for positivity, and it'll make playing ladder less frustrating.
feel good post 10/10

Me after seeing the original post: "Wow. There are some really nice people out there."
Me after reading comments (wintrading, boasting about rank 5, good job Blizzard): "Okay nevermind. People are awful."
He wasnt boasting about reaching rank 5 tho. He was just clarifying that if it wasnt for that good fellow he wouldn't have done it. Aside from a golden epic theres nothing to get for reaching rank 5 so no need to be mad about it. Getting legend is a whole different scenario and while the difference is only a card back i can tell u that using that sweet card is a statement. It proves ur ability to play the game well while having 4 hours per day to do so

So this is not a very legit rank 5 achievement.

What he thought was a big deal and thread worthy was his opponents kindness, not the rank.
Well... it's all nice and all from his part but we're basically celebrating wintrading here...

The guy basically gave him a golden epic. Not an achievement for reaching rank 5. The post is meant to honor the good Samaritan.
Yeah this!
There's nothing positive when an odd paladin player is asking for a free win.
GG flashshadow, well played :)
and to you as well hakulamatata, for letting us know that HS have nice people playing it :)

And what did he get in return?
lmao.
he is playing pure cancer and begs for a free win. That's the community for ya
Yes it is.
