Hearthpwn

Even considering all the ups and downs, Hearthstone as a property is diminished just a little with the loss of the Brode.

Quest Rogue - 53.46%

 They even succeeded in bringing back the infamous quest rogue... Not that they created many good cards for it... One more reason to hate the expansion (or the rotation?)...

This is the expansion I hate the second most since I started playing in BRM. I hated Un'Goro the most, thanks to one deck. Who wants to guess what deck that is?

 

 Considering Un'Goro was just about the best meta we've ever had I'm going to assume you don't know what you're talking about.  Quest rogue was polarizing, but easily beatable.... and they nerfed it.  Right now it keeps cubelock in check.  Wtf is so wrong with that?

There are literally people playing Spiteful decks with Keleseth in them. They're deliberately limiting themselves to only large spells and no 2 drops. If people can combine 2 apparently restrictive criteria and still post win rates of 55%+, how can you argue that the cards aren't busted? It's so FUCKING OBVIOUS.

It's basically admitting you don't actually want to have any input into whether you win or not, you're happy to just roll some dice and let the game resolve itself. How boring are these people that they are happy to play like that?

 

 So boring that they're making up about a third of casual decks rn. Seriously who brings autopilot decks to casual? Like I don't mind people bringing meta decks to try and learn but if you think Spiteful decks need some learning...just uninstall because you're not going to get better at this game.

 

 This is what bugs me the most. I don't consider myself a good or competitive player, I hardly play any ranked, so I don't want to express my feelings about game balance
...but...
Why the actual fuck would you ever bring aggro or spiteful decks to casual mode? I understand, you want to be competitive in the game, you want to win and reach higher ranks, so you play the meta decks...But what in the seven hells makes you play a Spiteful / Aggro deck in CASUAL MODE?!?!
Can you please leave elemental-hagatha shamans and quest hunters alone with your bullshit? Or you actually have to learn your curve / face deck? Or you want to TEST the deck you just copied from the internet?!
The only thing I like about this, is when I win... I just fucked your noskill netdeck with my home-made F2P shit (OFC via RNG and sweet draws)
...
Enjoy my sweet, sweet BM...

Sounds cliche but hear me out.  Try Even Paladin.  It tends to be more midrange, and I suspect could even be geared to be just a control deck, but point is there are plenty of ways to go about building it.  Unlike Odd Paladin - which tends to be much more aggressive with auto-include card choices and build arounds like Level Up! - Even Paladin has the good removal (Equality/Consecration/Pyromancer), the spellstone, Truesilver, Tirion, Lich King, The Glass Knight (which to my surprise is turning out to be a really good "just OK" card).  

Is this really were the community is at? Yes, Diremole is above the power curve for neutrals but this is still a world were Cube and Spiteful decks just got to waltz through a rotation like it was no big thing...

Every time I try wild I find it to be a less pool of broken combos and degenerate aggro. 

 

 Clearly you haven't played standard lately either...

I fully agree that Spiteful Summoner is terrible for Hearthstone. It strongly supports curvestone, is blatantly overpowered, requires the minimalist amount of skill, and just plain isn't fun to play with or against. It's a neutral Mysterious Challenger and blizz should feel bad for missing it during the last round of nerfs. Nerf Lackey, nerf Summoner, nerf CTA, Nerf level up, watch the meta prosper.

Every time I try wild I find it to be a less pool of broken combos and degenerate aggro. 

I disagree as the dominant decks 5 decks are essentially the same as last rotation: Aggro Pally, Mid-range Pally, Cube, Spiteful Deck #1 Spiteful Deck #2.

Ho boi did the community get this one wrong...

Eh, aggro pally and odd Hunter have me feeling like taking a break from the game until the meta settles and we can see what we're dealing with here. At least last meta the best deck (Cube) required skill. Sucks losing to a deck that just curves out and floods you. To summarize: I think the real counter is just going back to real life lol.

I've been playing a version with Applebaum's over Direhorn's and LK/Ysera over Yip/Rotface with one copy of Brawl over Harrison and it's very fun and competitive at Rank 5. Beat up on Baku/Genn decks but I'm struggling HARD vs spiteful Priest. Thinking of cutting one copy of Battle Rage as I often have hand size issues anyways.
