Quote from Warnerve75 >>

here's my take. Why don't you go work for Blizzard and do it the right way then? Don't tell us,go tell them. Sign up for a job and submit your resume then hopefully you get on the team. You can make everything kosher so we never have problems again!

 

Until then I'll go to war with the tools I have and figure out a way to win because sitting around and whining about everything does nothing to forward progress. I made rank 5 already so I'm done for the month you still have some time before the nerfs but I am hoping you use that time to apply for a developer position and get hired so we can then have the perfect game for years to come.

 What a response, i don‘t want to work for Blizzard, i don‘t intend to make huge life changings so i would maybe have a small impact on the game developing state. You consider this whining, i rather see this as an statement from a concerned long time customer of that game to REPEAT mistakes they have done in the past. I am quite happy with their quick reaction to Galakrond shaman but i fear that all the rage about it will drown other problems of the meta. 

you made it to rank 5 congrats mate i did too, but you make it sound more like an assignment than a game you enjoy to play which is the problem we have at hand here. I don‘t need a perfect game, the game‘s balance was quite good this year and i appreciate the changes they made to releasing content. But and this is a big BUT they start designing an expansion like almost a year before they release it, who thought that powercreeping Pirate Warrior is a good idea and fun. I like when they do new mechanics and if one of them becomes too strong they even adress it promptly, i don‘t want to have to wait until the second patch of nerfs for Pirate Warrior to be balanced, i had enough of that 2 years ago...

Well maybe this is a topic for salt thread but i feel like this needs to be adressed before the nerfs happen...

Blizzard did a huge step in Power-level for this expansion which is okay and the first big mistake is creeping Shaman with Galakrond to this unfathomable strong archtype, any deck with the Galakrond package for shaman is definitely stronger than the average decks. Blizzard acknowledges this and announced nerfs coming next week which makes me really happy.

But there is another culprit which i hoped to never see again in Standard mode.... Aggro Pirate Warrior. It is so strong that the meta is filled with Galakrond shaman and Pirate warrior to ruin everyone‘s day (well at least mine). Parachute Brigand is a Patches2.0 just a bit different, you drew 2 in the first turn play Southsea Deckhand as a 1 mana 6/5, the new ship‘s cannon (one mana more to have 2 more health), you need to waste a lot of ressources to compete with their early game in hope that like last time Pirate Warrior runs out of steam, but no they got Ancharrr which is such an insane draw mechanic. If thes play that legendary weapon and you dont have the Über-nuts you are sure that you are going to lose this one. History repeats itself when you powercreep old aggro mechsnics which worked already back then to be Top tier

All in all i just hope that Blizzard considers Pirate Warrior to balance a bit too because after Galakrond shaman nerf i am sure as hell Pirate Warrior will run the meta and i dont like Aggro to be in charge for my meta (i don‘t mind aggro that keeps some combo in check but not Tier 1).

Well the people presenting the reveal stream aren't good entertainers and imo, feeling bad for Peter Whalen because filling Ben's shoes is impossible. Cora is kinda boring never heard of her, when they spoke about Tournament commentary i still didnt know her, i think most people watch other streamers than commenters. Why doesn't Blizz solve this with a survey which Content Creator we want to see to present the reveal stream in advance. I personally love the Omnislash guys (emphasis on guys here LUL) but that's just me and the irony bashing on Kibler for burning one card gets her a shitstorm from the community.

Technical issues with the lackeys is embarrassing but it happens , fortunately there is the cheat codes to add the lackeys to the hand.

Well played Hearthstone i hope the "Remaining Card Dump Stream" will be better.

I'm sorry....but WHAT?! A pack based expansion AND pay to play wings? Has anyone mentioned the rewards associated with the wings? I'd hate to jump to the cash grab conclusion before getting the rest of the information. 

Edit: I found the missing information.

• The first chapter is free! 
• Unlock additional chapters for 700 gold each, or purchase the entire experience for $19.99 USD.
• Each chapter comes with two new characters to play with Hero Powers and starting decks to unlock.
• New 'characters' are usable against dozens of new bosses across multiple game modes.
• Completing each chapter will award three RoS card packs!
• Completing all five chapters will award a special card back and a golden classic pack!
• The solo adventure will release about a month after the new expansion.
• Will use Dungeon Run framework with a robust level of customization.

The dude is hilarious what are you talking about? Watch his videos they are quality 

Exodia is one of the most boring matchups u can face, basically it is down to one thing, can u dirty rat one of his  combo minions?

Else: don´t trade away his board, mass dispel espacially if he plays mirror image...why? he needs 5 boardslots to setup his combo and sometimes he overpopulates his board, also you can see it as an indicator, when he is going to combo: this is the time to pull the rat, when he starts to kill his own minions.

Also use every opportunity for him to overdraw: he has 9 cards on hand a acolyte on the board? trad in the acolyte. Also u could probably try to run the coldlight oracle and crash him 2 cards, which is a viable option since u need carddraw as a highlander (but on the otherside it can make u suffer against other decks)

so a couple of things. only keep the secrets with secret keeper. muster is auto mull against druid. patron is a 50/50 match up while freeze mage is your worse match up then priest then aggro druid/aggro shaman. the way you beat druid is make the early swipes awful for them. also if your hand is mini-bot muster shredder challenger and you have coin you keep challenger. some things that were put in here they may have been over looked kinda.
