Hearthstone has become "How can I survive more than 5 turns ?"...
First, I'd wish to say that this is absolutely not a salty thread, actually, I've never felt that good since I've started to play HS. Why ? Because I quit.
HS was my first ever CCG. I discovered it more than two years ago by watching a streamer, and told myself that it would be fun to try a card game in the Magic style (I had absolutely no idea on how this game worked, just knew the principle of dueling with card). I have always been a huge gamer, and especially liked fantasy games like Skyrim, Guild Wars (never played wow though), so I was interested in the Hearthstone universe and its high quality graphics/animation/sounds.
In the beginning, I was totally fascinated by the game, getting lost trying to built some decks with my shitty cards and enjoying duelling other guys, playing with my stylish mage throwing fireballs every where. Soon, my attraction to "crowd control" and "Ice spells" (Skyrim heh), surfaced, and I became interested in the freezing mage spells. I had an objective : build a Freeze Mage. I did it after some months of farming, and a lot of threads on forums (the game wasnt so popular back then and I didn't know Hearthpwn at that time, so I was using the official battlenet forum). This was an amazing experience, and I really enjoyed it.
Then, troubles has begun... I discovered the "meta" problems. Face hunters, Double combo Druid, Secret Pal, Patron Warrior, Tempo Mage, Zoo, Shaman Mid each one has had its glory time. All of these overpowered decks played by 70% (estimated number ^^) of the community have started to piss me off. Not because they were strong, but because I felt like everyone was playing it and the game started to become less and less innovative, less and less enjoyable. Still, those decks required a bit of reflexion and games could be intersting, sometimes.
But now, now.... this has become ridiculous. Pirate warrior ? Wtf ? You basically play alone, trade alone, try to survive alone while your opponent go face only, kill you on turn five, or concede on turn 6 if you got the right Aoe or Heal at the right time. Where is this little "startegic" aspect that brought us all on this game, now that the objective is to end the game as quick as possible ? I just don't understand, really, where is the fun in this, for leeroy jenkins sake ? (Worst part of it being that even casual is unplayable)
This is such a shame, this game had so much potential, and they ruined it because they want the game to be "fast" and "easy"... Yeah now it is, that's for sure, it's fast, and easy...
I know that most of you don't give a damn about that, and I respect. I'm actually not here to complain like I would have done some time ago, I'm here to express my disappointment about a game that made me spend so much time and have so many emotions. Hearthstone could have been that one game I'd never quit... if it got balanced. Unfortunately, win attraction has won over fun, and this game has died to me.
Now, I have changed my ship. I got in a much bigger, much luxury one : Hex, Shards of Fate. I'm maybe wrong thinking that the game won't be as much cancerous has HS has become, but at least for now it feels so fresh. Just one thing make the difference, the basic of any CCG, (I've learned it a few moment ago) : you can't just go face, your opponent has the choice to defend himself. And this, is what it lacks in HS which is now unplayable for me. So, if you also feel frustrated about this game, I invite you to start a new adventure like me, and try that wonderful game that is Hex.
Well i don't know what you are talking about since i haven't seen a pirate deck in my last 20 or so games. Only the same freaking renolock / reno mage or dragon priest over and over again..
I love it when people are like: yeah , just put that one card in and your matchup against pirate warrior will increase by like... 20%... i swear(or at least that is what it sounds to me when people are like: yeah just play mistress and you're good)
Mistress is a good and dandy card but it is most certainly not the cure for the meta right now.
In fact i don't even know wether there will ever be a slower meta as we have it right now(one were you are not considered a madman for putting a card that cost more than 6mana into your deck) , seeing as every single expansion people are like: "Yeah the meta will slow down and then these card will be viable" , and then the meta just gets faster
I love it when people put words in my mouth, and mistres can lock down wins when you get her vs agro. and i dont know the exsact numbers but it would have to be at least 10%.

As i said, it's not what you wrote, it's what it sounds to me when you wrote it. And based on your reaction it was more or less what you meant.
Mistress might pull up your winrate by 10% if your winrate was like 30% before running her. If she'd be that great of a card everyone would be running two of her and two ooze , and the only ones in the forums crying would be the facewarriors , complaining how op the new anti aggro card is.
From what i get from OPs post though, his winrate against facewarrior is about 50/50 and what pains him is how little interaction between there is between the two players. And little old mistress won't fix that!

I am going to lock this thread now, as these "Farewell" threads tend to attract a majority of replies with no value. I don't think i need to specify which ones those are.
I don't have a problem with your post, but you pretty much concluded it yourself at "Farewell", and it's safe to assume you abandoned it.
