The problem with Hearthstone is that early low-cost cards are just way better than late-game high-cost cards, specifically because they can be played without collecting dust in your hand. Late-game cards need a comeback mechanic. Hell, just adding "Taunt" to a big card so your opponent can't say "Nice card" as their board rushes past it and slams your face could make so many huge cards playable. Any card 8 mana or more should be swing-y, capable of saving you from defeat. Otherwise it's just a win-more card. And we don't need more of those.
I think Dr. Boom was a perfect legendary card. Sure, if the game ended before turn 7 he was useless. And even if you did get him out on turn 7, your opponent could still just ignore him. But he could potentially swing back a losing game. That should be the entire point of sinking all of your mana into a single card in one turn.
They should hire someone with brain to the design team.
hs is in a bad position since gvg has come out
I get the point but it still matters to a minority of the community. It does matter, yes, but not more than the rest of the ladder.
Yes. I assume the coding of the card must be complex af.
Lol, 9 mana 8/8? No. The bug isn't the reason it isn't played.
Yes you did, but a stronger version was released of none of those. The only example you gave me was Arcane Giant and Molten Giant which are very different cards that are played very differently and see play in completely different decks.
They don't, I meant the single player adventure experience, not adventures as card releases.
Yes, they are part of an already existing game mode which doesn't make them any less new content.
And you are calling Team5 bad at running this game?
Them making that mistake doesn't justify it as a correct design philosophy.
One group of players doesn't want a feature, another one wants. Which group should be listened and why? My arguments are the casual design philosophy and that the alternative is easier to arrange for the group that wants the feature. Your only argument I can find is that some players want the feature.
That's only true if interacting with your opponent and trying to be social to some extent in a multiplayer game is considered abusing emotes.
About the features, I agree that adding chat is something that should've been done ages ago, although I understand the arguments to not to do that.
And how heavily were they misplayed? Also, which part of the season? Any %s to how big part of those ranks is t1 net decks?
They've backed themselves into a corner with trying to keep the game so basic. Spells and minion effects are just too powerful in this game using the current mana crystal system.
I think the game will just continue to get out of control with the design limitations while trying to make interesting cards.
And it would still be far less "sick" than a 1mana 3/2 pirate that pulls a 1/1 free charge pirate straight from your deck, letting you play with 29 cards instead of 30.
Or a 1mana card that creates infinite minions in a game with finite removal while completely negating a core mechanic of the game while your opponent still suffers it.

I'll try it out but it won't really change my opinion on the state of hearthstone.

Kazakus was the first card I crafted after opening my packs actually. It doesn't always save the game. Hell, even THREE Kazakus's - one board wipe, two that gained a total of 17 armor - sometimes aren't enough.

I mean, I'd certainly argue we got more Control tools this expansion than in something like Old Gods. We have two seemingly very solid neutral tools in Mistress of Mixtures and Second Rate Bruiser (? I think that's the name, kind of drew a blank). In regards to classes that have been heavy Control in the past we have;
- Priest: Dragonfire Potion, Potion of Madness, Pint-Sized (which basically augments stuff like Shadow Word: Horror), Greater Healing Potion
- Warlock: 2x Hellfire effects, Blastcrystal Potion
- Warrior: Alley Armorsmith, Sleep With the Fishes
- Shaman: Devolve, Jade Chieftain (which I'd argue is more of a Control tool based on how slow it is), Jade Lightning
On top of existing Control tools and early game, it's a pretty potent toolkit overall. We still have Earthen Ring Farseer and Refreshment Vendor, we still have cards like Armorsmith that saw very little play last expansion but have always been MVP against Aggro. I'd argue if you want to tech for Aggro, you have the tools currently to do so (especially as Priest or Warrior); the upside of both of those is that a lot of their anti-aggro kit doesn't mean they have to build a list that loses to Midrange or Control lists necessarily.
I'd also argue as someone who's played Control in this new expansion, Reno is certainly a big deal but hardly the only thing in the deck you're trying to draw to and live. You'll definitely win/lose based solely on what each person draws a fair amount of the time, but generally proper mulligans and navigating the turns to your outs is going to up your win % considerably.
Maybe the crazy part is that this isn't actually all that new of a speed for Aggro; pre-nerf Facehunter and Aggro Shaman were as fast if not faster. We didn't really gain anything new as much as we didn't have it present in the last meta, and people need to re-adjust to that.
