Its true, its a shame there is no mode just for meme decks. It seems tricky to come up a system that would work though, which I guess is why it hasn't been done. I would have thought it would get better with the introduction of rank ceilings, but maybe it hasn't. Maybe you have a good idea?
Casual is used by people to complete quests and test decks as well as play meme decks. I don't see why you need to call people assholes because they don't want the same thing as you. Seems like you are being a little hypocritical when you're accusing other people of having bad attitudes.
Your complaining that you’re facing legend at 3. When in reality they have more to lose then you.
Rank 3 players always lose 1 star for a loss and gain 1 star for a win regardless of who they play. Legend players lose a bunch of ranks for a loss and gain a tiny amount for a win if they face rank 3. I'm not saying its great for either group but it does make climbing out of Legend dumpster almost impossible at the moment.
Blizzard really screwed up this time, it only takes a short losing streak to get stuck in legend dumpster tier until the end of the season.
If a legend player win a non legend player his mmr slightly improves, but he is still low enough to continue getting matched against non legend players.
But if the legend player lose to a non legend player his mmr takes a huge hit, making him even more likely to face non legend players.
The only way to "escape" the legend dumpster tier is having amazingly long win streak, or being lucky and getting matched against mostly other dumpster tier legends.
I think you are wrong. It is not more difficult to escape legend dumpster rank than Rank 3. MMR ranked matchups are MMR based=they are fairly close, no matter if one is in legend and another isn't. This means the MMR will raise/fall about equally for both players.
Don't be scared of legend players, they are not better than you! You should actually be happy for those matchups, as they have less reasons to tryhard, and might be fooling around with a suboptimal deck for fun.
You are wrong, matchmaking is broken and getting out of dumpster is very frustrating and difficult at the moment. Something has changed. I'm consistently falling through the legend ranks (currently 4000) despite a good winrate because I'm only facing rank 3 opponents which means I fall about 300 ranks for a loss and only gain 10 for a win.
Bottom line: You do not need to change the formula to bring in new viewers. You only need to be seen.
Exactly this. I play a lot of HS and watch a lot on Twitch. I would love to follow HCT but its such an effort to know when its on. The only time I catch it is when I happen to login into Twitch and it is at the top of the HS list or if a streamer I'm watching happens to mention it.
Chanman's idea of advertising it in client is perfect. Even watching it in client would be so easy. Why don't they do this and other innovative ideas? Because they are obsessed with keeping the UI clean and ultra simple user experience over anything else. I can't see any real innovation with this current mindset.
But you can spare a few of your precious moments to put down people that are making free content for the community. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Move on. You don't have to visit this thread every week to insult people that are putting themselves out there and making a show that a lot of other people enjoy.

First time I saw Divine Hymn I was shocked that Blizzard was creating a card called "Divine Hymen"

So 85% of people doing better than you don't deserve their success? Seems a pretty shitty perspective to have.
Ugh.

The issue isn't related to queue time.

Blizzard have admitted something is wrong on twitter and are making changes for the July season: https://twitter.com/PlayHearthstone?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

This is one of the least aggressive metas I've ever seen in 3 years playing HS. If you're not happy now you never will be.

You don't get Rank 1 Legend with a weak deck.
