I mean, he's a noob and a troll... But I also like the new system. It gives a lot more things to casual players and it punishes dumb agro players that only play for grinding gold... Grinders will complain, but I think it's toxic to the game having a bunch of dudes playing the same cheap efficient shitty decks just for getting more gold... Which they'll never use, since they'll keep playing the same decks over and over...

People here in fact is ignoring facts. It seems that they didn't saw Hearthstone Mathematic videos, which made the PROPER math, since most of those dumb reddit posts didn't counted the cards you get from the rewards. Getting 2 legendaries GUARANTEED is just insane. You'll also get a bunch of packs and a considerable amount of gold. Remember that 1 legendary = 40 packs (average)...

Is it perfect? It isn't. But you can build a much bigger and fair system from this one than the other dumb "play agro 9hs a day and grind a lot of gold per day" dumb system.

 I truly believe this system has so much potential to be great.  It was just rolled out very poorly.  It doesn't feel as fun and exciting as they made it seem (at least to me).

I'm still optimistic they'll improve it, even though they've given me no reason to feel that optimism haha.  The game isn't quite as expensive as some people make it seem, but a lot of this outrage isn't completely unfounded either.  My biggest problem with this whole thing is the lack of any kind of response from Blizzard.  Even if they simply said "You are right (whether they believe that or not) - we have to tweak some exp rewards.  We are looking into this."  People probably would be a lot calmer.  They'd still be upset!  But it wouldn't be this bad.

I kinda feel bad that I preordered the mini bundle (as I have done for the past few).  I preordered before the whole track came out, and even at the start of the reward track thing, when I wasn't playing too much, I was impressed at how quickly I was leveling up (basically not looking past the weekly and daily quests haha).  I quickly found out that the xp gain slows to a crawl after a while, and now I feel bad that I did that preorder.  Thankfully it wasn't too much.

If they can revamp it into a system that actually feels good, maybe I'll come back, but for now, I'll keep enjoying LoR (which has a much better xp-based track system, at least as of right now).

I understand that you're angry about the card, and the anger is coming through in this post.  But, honestly, it is a ridiculous card that probably should never have been made haha.  If it was 6 mana 6/6 it would still be played.  Even 4/4, it would still be played (although at that point it would be just for annoying the opponent, and it would belong in the priest pool).  Tickatus is one of my top 3 reasons for switching games (for now at least).  Also, if I didn't switch games, Tickatus is the top reason I play only aggro any more.

Here's hoping the game can revert to its former glory one day!

Yeah I got my weekly quests.  I haven't been playing often enough to pay attention to it saying "New quests coming in X days".

Still something that should be fixed haha.  Obviously, it's a problem that never should have happened.  It's astonishing how much they swung and missed on this whole debacle.

I dont think so, obviously you need to have some skills but not for dont reaching it you are bad. I took nearly 2 years to reach legend.

What (imo) really demostrates you are not so good is when you need to use the legend card back to probe you reached it :). 

 After taking a hiatus from the game, sometimes I'll come back and "flex" my legend card back.  My real motive, though, is to give my opponent a slight ego boost to make him think he beat someone good haha.  It ain't much, but it's honest work =P.  Gotta spread positivity somehow.

I figured weekly quests would start on Tuesday or Wednesday.  Or at least the same time as Tavern Brawls. Never once did I think they would reset on a Monday.

But, this system does seem flawed, so who knows when weekly quests will reset.

Don't even know what you're talking about man. Stay on topic haha.  Chill out a bit.

I feel like a lot of the complaints come from people who play "less than average", if we assume average is roughly 1 hour per day (or 7 hours per week).

To me, it sounds like people want to get a ridiculous amount of rewards for playing, say, 3 hours per week?  That doesn't make any sense to me.  If you want rewards, you have to slightly grind.  I think the new system is either a sidegrade or better than the old system.  Factor in the potential pro that getting achievements "feels good"... I don't know why so many people complain.  People just love to focus on negativity, and then they complain about why everything sucks haha.  

 You have a Naruto Profile picture. Are you old enough to say something like that? Do you realize that many ppl work, study and just used to play HS by 2-3hours a day, for 30 days and was really okay with that? Get some responsability in your life first than you can come back here and speak of adults.

 For what it's worth, I'm a 31 year old accountant, working full time (and overtime actually), even during these Covid times haha.  Sorry I have expendable money to play games that I enjoy.  Maybe wait until you're out of your crazy partying college days before committing to video games that require some grinding time.

Also, sorry that I happen to love anime (Naruto in particular haha).  Feels completely irrelevant to this discussion.  I even fully weebed out and got myself an Itachi tattoo, but maybe we can talk about that in off topic forum threads =P.

(side note: the "89" in my username/battle tag refers to, surprise, my birth year haha, so I'll let you confirm the math on my mentioned age at the start of this post)

 Such a lovely guy calling you a kid having “420 prince” as his name LOL.

These complain at the first day posts are beautiful.

 Yeahhh he's definitely showing his age one way or another lol.  At least he's not a Trump supporter, so he got one thing right =P.  Not sure why he brought politics into it though.

The argument he mentioned earlier of "If you have time, you have no money, if you have money, you have no time" doesn't even make sense.  I guess he spends his money on all those, you know, 420 "adult" things rather than enjoyable games haha.

Also I barely even care about Hearthstone. It's just fun to watch complaints after Hearthstone announcements.  If they released something cooler and more exciting, maybe I'd spend the money. But as things are right now, I'll just wait until I can find a PS5 to buy lol.

Card draw is never a bad thing.  Targeted card draw is almost always a good thing.

I don't necessarily like the cost or the stats, but it should see play in a new warrior deck (ie not a currently existing warrior deck, although it wouldn't be difficult to slot this into current bomb warrior or control warrior).

Although Twilight Runner would be a better adjustment, I think Blizzard has been trying to nerf epics mainly because of dupe protection.  They don't want to give a ton of free dust to people holding on to those duplicate rares (especially if they're golden haha).

Overall though, I think this does make druid less high-rolly (granted they can still high roll, but aggro will punish them even more now).  I don't really have a problem with Paladin personally, but I'm still kinda surprised they didn't hit them somewhere.  The meta will still revolve around paladin and mage.

That's kinda what makes this fun though.  You're actually playing "high stakes" Hearthstone.  Okay, so the stakes aren't actually that high haha, but it's a bit more exciting than just plain ol ladder play.

However, I do wish that this was just a completely separate game mode.  If it was just a side game mode, no one would bat an eyelash here.  I guess everyone's sad they don't get a free classic pack lol.

I wouldn't mind adding him to my Soul DH deck just because I think he's a pretty cool, powerful effect.  However, as everyone has said here, it tends to drag the deck down a bit.  You don't need him.  Just add some other card generation cards (Wandmaker or Cobalt Spellkin work well).

I once heard that, out of all games, once you're at your "skill cap", 40% of the games you will just win, 40% of the games you will just lose, and 20% of the games are decided by your own skill.  I think some League of Legends streamer came up with this idea, but you can apply the same theory here.  Maybe adjust the percentages a bit if you'd like.

Basically, all I'm trying to say is there will always be some games that you will simply lose (because you had bad luck or your opponent had great luck) or games that you will flat out win (because vice versa).  It's that middle percent that is really satisfying to win, and if you've played long enough, you can usually tell which games were more decided by actual skill.  Of course luck still applies a bit in those games as well, but guess what, that's kinda the nature of competitive card games haha.
