So I used to look forward to the first couple of days of each expansion. You could try out different combinations of cards, explore the ideas, the tribes and have a blast until the meta settled after a couple of days. Then came team 5.
Team 5 announced their change in direction with demon hunter. I still followed the new expansions with some interest despite my misgivings about this game, I enjoyed theory crafting and trying to come up with interesting deck concepts that would surprise and sometimes delight my opponents. But I took a look at DH and came to the forums here and reddit. I was like guys, I think we have a problem, DH looks broken as fuck, I mean really broken, as in it will make the game unplayable. Of course the shills on reddit and here bombarded me with downvotes and mockery, so I knew I was probably right. Turns out I was on the money and the team 5 design team, if you could call them that had no clue how to balance or make a game fun. It was powercreep for the lowest common denominator and it revealed if there is playtesting at Blizzard still, they are either incompetent or disregarded.
So since then, I pretty much only play to fulfill my quests and I play battlegrounds when I do my eliptical in the morning. Lately the game is so bad that I have trouble even completing the weekly quests. Not that I can't win 5 games, I have trouble mustering the will to play 5 games each week it is so bad.
So I decided to try a new approach this expansion. Go in cold, no streams, no reveals nothing. Just craft a couple of cards and make a deck, see what I think after a couple of hours. So I did that and ran up repeatedly against 2 decks that were so braindead, so unfun to play against that their existence made the idea of playing hearthstone just as repugnant as the first day of DH. Of course those decks were implock and freeze mage. They have made these things so simple, so consistent and so overwhelming that there is no room for gameplay at all. I thought this might be it, sunken cost fallacy and morbid curiosity be damned, I may finally be done with constructed hearthstone.
But then I thought, if the game is designed for stupid assholes, might as well play like one and see how much fun it is. So I check implock, hmm, only need to craft the legend fucker, will go with that. Hmmm, whose the most annoying hero, perfect, this nemsy bitch is insufferable. So I immediately concede my first 10 games to get good RNG (the game is rigged remember, the same dudes who told you DH is balanced are the ones who claim it isn't). Afterwards I play 10 more, go 9-1 all the while emoting, roping and being the douchiest of bags. And guess what, this is what the game is designed for.
So the next time you worry about how team 5 is ruining hearthstone, just be an idiot. If you can find the inner drooling moron, Team 5 made a game just for you.
Comparing players that actually enjoy the game to a "drooling moron" is not okay and will only lead to the kind of flaming and trolling we do not allow on these forums. Closing this thread here.
