Hearthpwn

Lorewise, Hearthstone is a card game playable in Azeroth. When you play Deathwing in Hearthstone, the idea isn't that Deathwing is swooping in and destroying everything. The idea is that an unseen adventurer in a tavern in Azeroth is playing a Deathwing card in a game.

this card is delicious, time to absolutely screw over every freeze mage in existence and win every fatigue game.

To all the people crying about the lore in HS, League of Explorers was presented as a movie franchise that other WoW characters go to watch in the cinema...how come nobody complained about that?

 Because the context is entirely different?

 And then there's also that other guy without any critical thinking whatsoever:
"It's their IP, so who cares if they make a Chocolate Lord that throws candy bars at you!"

 This thread is quite the melting pool of ignorance.

 

 Ahh, the Internet. Where everyone who disagrees with you is ignorant.

 Nice Ad Hominem, you sure proved the validity of your argument.

Sweet card. Blizz did a pretty good job with the new class legendaries so far, except Volajz.

 What argument? It's a matter of opinion. Yours just happens to be silly because Hearthstone isn't even canon. Never has been.

You seem unable to grasp the point, so let me spell it out to you: them owning the IP is no reason to suspend all critical thinking and blindlessly swallow  whatever idea they come up with. Stupid things are stupid, who owns the IP doesn't matter.

 I understood you the first time. I simply disagree. "Stupid," in this case, is a matter of opinion. Some people think this card is amusing.

I think it's great that Hearthstone has the freedom to play around with the more absurdly GrimDark tropes of WoW.

ITS SO GOOD! ITS ASREIEL DREEMUR!

 Trying to strawman the WoW lore isn't gonna work either. GrimDark != Logic.

 I hate it when people use generic literally textbook logical fallicies in order to seem smart while simultaneously avoiding actually creating an argument for their side. Do you just have a tab open with Purdue OWL up at all times? Who's playing the strawman game now?

FortyDust, as he clearly tried to shift the blame to an overexxaggerated misrepresention of the problem at hand ("Hurr durr Wow lore is so grimdark why are you against funny things!"), which is quite the literal textbook definition of a Strawman.

 I don't see how that works. A strawman arguement is oversimplifying a POINT OF VIEW so as to mislead other people.

 

 

All he was saying was that he enjoys the creative liberties Hearthstone is able to make in poking fun at the macabre themes of Lovecraftian horror yet he also makes it very clear that this is purely a matter of opinion.

What the hell have we turned this thread into? 

What a clown fiesta.

Lets just end this. this is absurd.

All FortyDust said was that other people have different opinions, and that's true. Hearthstone, being a fictional light hearted game withing a fictional lighthearted game is able to take creative liberties. Thats all he was saying. You can agree with that, you can disagree with that. But thats not what this is about. 

Can we just shake hands and walk away like adults?

If a full health Priest with just a full health Auchenai mind controls this card, will it harm them? how long will it take the Paladin to damage the Priest so Rag hurts him?
