The never ending thread about "competitive hearthstone" this and there....


Just because people make little tournaments with HS in strivewire and other places, and because there is 1 magic world coup, doesn't mean the game is properly designed to be competitive, it means people WANT it to be competitive. But the game as it's is a joke from a competitive stand point. The card draw is around 80% unreliable (and if you play any kind of reno is 100% unreliable) I would say a third of the staples in standard are filled with unreliable RNG effects (like yogg is, but let me tell you, it's coding was modified in silence, I'm sure of this, it's effects changed a LOT after the pre-karazhan patch) being able to draw a third of your entire deck is just WRONG, that delutes your need to strategize when you can just draw so many cards allowing to ignore card drawing chance, and finally, the fact that the active player can not be stopped and he decides everything during the turn is just horrible design (good for the sake of gameplay though, but horrible for the matches themselves).


Everything points at a game that wants to be casual and just fun (and for the sake of entertainment) even half the playerbase want it to be even more casual with montly/weekly cards rotations for the sake of "shaking things up", that is just INSANE from a competitive point of view, unestability is the least competitive a game can be, jesus.

So, either people accept HS is a casual card game with a couple of swingy competitive events every year, or force the hand of team5 to actually make the game competitive eliminating all the casual aspects of it (wich they won't because being casual give a lot more money).

Simple Fix : Yogg doesn't cast the spells  from the player's perspective. They should be  random, so secrets should  be able to be played for both  parties.

I had a priest play 3 spells, Reno Jackson, and then Yogg. I had 7 minions on board. It pyroblasted my face then killed all of them.

Let me  start by saying that I don't like Yogg.    Playing or facing. To each their own.  The point op. Missed and why tournaments with yogg included in can stll be recognized as letgit is that that losing finalists had the option to ban the yogg deck... But chose to take the risk of facing him.

Great idea.....create a card that counters yogg........   A card that reset board to last turn conditions...   But eats up your turn..      What you think..... Good or bad idea.

Thijs lost a game solely because his opponent got an amazing Yogg, after that he tells about how much it frustrates him that he has to prepare so much for Blizzcon, yet, he can still lose a game simply because his opponent got a better Yogg.

Here's the clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/thijshs/SpotlessOkapiKappaRoss

He does talk more about how much it frustrates him, but since twitch clips can only be 25 seconds and I wanted the part where he says "This Yogg.."...
