Hearthpwn

maxes out legendary pity counter... gets another Hogger , superb. 

Man... I was playing arena against a priest. I had him against the ropes but he played lyra and struck gold and played a card to take my minion the following turn. So I get excited, I get the rare opportunity to use higher skill in hearthstone, i have a minion that freezes my own minions! I can not believe the my luck. So I play it and reset for lethal next turn. 

This F@@@@@KKKK game!

When my minion transferred to him it not only unfroze but was active!

His gives him enough board to hold onto his lyra for another turn!

Of course he slowly wears me down but I stuck around to be a fair sport. It just drives me mad that such a perfect opportunity was wasted because of LAZY programming. The worst part of the match was my only chance to flip the momentum was kazakus... He was in my hand since T4 but of course my drakes were both tucked within my last 7 cards... Sweet RNGesus... You lost a big gamer today bliz, peace. 

oh arena, the "competition" is just about too much these days, i think it about time for us to part ways, RIP final hope for HS... My patience has burnt up and I am left with no recourse.

FIX THE FUCKING NAGA SEA WITCH / GIANTS BUG.  I am fucking tired of turn 5 seeing lethal on the board in the form of multiple 8/8s.  Every fucking game that isn't jade druid or barnes resurrect priest is this trash.  Blizzard should ban every single one of these bug abusers.   Or maybe, instead of fucking nerfing removals like fiery war axe or hex, we could, you know, actually fucking print some removals that aren't overcosted.  Answers need to cost less than the thing they are answering, or else aggro is overpowered.   Blizzard can't figure this out.

fixed it: the base set cards are used consistently in too many decks [because Team 5 has failed to develop any stable archetypes to "build" onto the original synergies that came as the game, however Team 5 accepts no responsibility for nursing a ridged and ill conceived "turn" style play along, knowing full well that the game, unaltered, had reached its maximum potential upon conception, so we will say instead] because their power levels are too high and are at times confusing [because we only want stupid players to play our game] to understand...

we have decided to make the game as to be clear that the only pros we want to play the game are the ones we pay to play. 

haha i knew they were after the innervate! right after team 5 released those absurd cards they as much pointed it out that they wished to destroy innervate and re brand druid. its strange that they would work so hard to make shaman work and not druid (maybe fix your counter intuitive tempo system instead of dancing around the issue since day 1 beta!)

iv got a golden hero and no longer have a single viable archetype or clue how to use it, but thats hearthstone for ya!

I called every move those greedy punks made. 

Thanks for clarifying... i noticed not too long ago that switching health and attack on a temp buff no longer transfers the attack to defense and rebuffs the attack... glad to see the design team is finally doing "all the hard work" to make their game consistent and polished, its tough for an indie card game company like blizzard, but they really prioritize, ahahahaaha 

esports legend baby! https://hsreplay.net/replay/Nqo7KcEmkuw4y6f6WkVAbU

yo man tell it like it is. my game has completely stalled out. its become impossible to do dailies and my f2p funds havedried out since they nuked arena. hahaha like they think ill pay money to get any enjoyment, id rather quit. 

i went 56 packs once... that was over a year ago, ill bet you could go a looooong time now... 

If you arent irritated by how unbalanced Jade Druid is you are in denial.

How do you feel about Blizzards lack of response to the community? 

How many more months do you predict Team 5 will let a tier S "group of cards" plague the meta? 

Just run! Run as fast as you can. Bliz doesnt give a shart about how its patrons feel. 

^ i know its too shocking to really take in but Im serious about it. 

I beg you, try my deck list, its cost nothing, and you will never que a pali, mayyybe once every 50 matches. Take out that single pirate, that one card, even within the same "pool" of players, and you will que none stop pali...

it will only take a few hours of your time and it will drastically change the way you feel about the game. just do it my man, get woke, join the matchmaking resistance :) 

EDIT: and some added food for thought if you so choose to experiment, pirate warrior was the first deck ever to use pirates successfully + pali is a savage counter to pirate warrior... ;)

the truth is begging to come out :) 

I think its important to realize, what we are discussing are the exploits and oddities that you can bring forth from the matchmaker, rigged or not, bc the oddities are very real. The point Im making is that a F2P player who is new should play the lowest powered deck, that can still achieve a win condition, to avoid tilt until it is unavoidable. 

I think we could debate endless why 50% is the magic number and so on and so forth, but im just trying to give him sound advice. I think you should just let him play my zero meta score deck as is, so he doesnt have to worry about queing into random OP craziness, assuming he hasnt already ran for the hills lol! 

the worst thing he could possibly do is pull out his wallet and buy dust wads until he can make a jade druid, etc...

^ i watched it and im not impressed. 

Another easy method to confirm the MMR bias, is to watch your opponents rank, for example, if i am on a positive climb i will que into someone a rank or two higher but never lower, and if I am on a losing streak i will que into a lower ranked individual and never higher. if its just 'based on your stars' that shouldnt be the case and it is literally always the case. 

also have you ever wondered why the "most oppressive" decks in hearthstone only have a 55% winrate? it just happened that every single deck in the history of the game is near 50%? given the wide variety of player skill, deck formulas, and all the other factors, it truly is mindboggling that 50% is somehow the magic number. its almost like skill doesnt matter, 50% does... :)

but wait let me guess, "its cause of all the data is being collected from legendary ranked games, which includes MMR, skewing to 50%." So before you even suggest it only 2% of hearthstone players ever reach legend, and seeing as how there are millions of active players, im going to preemptively prevent any counters to this argument. 

the proof is in the pudding so to speak... 

i think the reason you want to resist the information is you think its a personal thing, like i think the game is out to get me, and its not, its relative, its a number assigned to your deck. 

also bens triggered face was hilarious at 15 minutes in... i think maybe they arent as candid as you believe that they are or maybe ben brode does not like to be reminded of naxx lmao!
