Hearthpwn

Quote from LinkOfKalos >>

Seriously. At the moment all you run into is Quest Rogue, Secret Control Mage, PW, Control Priest, or Token Druid. The meta is very boring and very stale.

The randomness is too high and... I don't know.

II almost forgot the last two other forms of interactivity.

Squelching, and hovering over the concede at the end portion of the game.

Let's not forget the bm culture, the I got lucky so i'm gonna rub it in any way I can, which has infested this game like digital herpes.

It is also a huge time waster and you have to ask what the game actually gives you back for your investment into the game both in the cards and in your time and energy. The game doesn't give a whole lot back frankly. Got to ask yourself, why do I keep playing this shit expecting different results?

BM culture doesn't exist. People who emote are usually trying to be friendly, not rude. Everyone else just misinterprets them. 

Also, the game is great. It's only a huge time waster if you love it enough to play it non-stop, and in that event, you know exactly what it's giving back to you. 

And the HS player base cycle of salt continues

Quote from Sparhawk >>

The problems in HS are not really the card pools fault, fundamentally it's how the game is designed and how it plays.

Those issues ongoing players are seeing are exasserbated by the slow cycle of new cards and a large portion of sets featuring cards unsuited to how they wish to play the game.

Ie. Constructed cards vs. Arena cards vs. Casual cards. with a small pool of a 1xx cards and split accross 9 classes and a neutral category you are going to see the inherant flaws when you wait 4 months now for more cards.

The game isn't interactive enough to really satisfy true strategy game players, it's straddles the line between yahtzee and games like backgammon, but with huge ranges in the dice rolls and an unfair system of who goes first and second esp in arena.

Interactivity in Hearthstone amounts to Secrets, Taunt, knowing your oponents likely deck and plays, watching their mulligan to identify the deck and strength of their likely options, followed by sequencing, and hoping to get expected results off of rng cards, many of which have huge ranges and you are forced to play them because they are overpowered in the class.

you play hundreds of one off games on ladder, and grind out results based on the law of averages, that skill isn's the arbiter of success, but strenghth of the netdeck and the number of games you put in.

This is where Hearthstone fails, for the esports scene they have barely credible variants of conquest last man standing etc in which you do a more exaustive approach, and while this does help to weed out the netdecking wannabes from the better players we all know what this actually looks like in practice.

They need to change the rules of the game.

They need built in ranked mode alternatives like 8 man tournament on the go conquest with leaderboards and even prizes and entry fees.

They need regular updates to cards whether it be more often releases / or new cards faster than 4 months.

they also need to stop cramming stupid cards and deck archetypes down our throats, with super limited card pool and 9 classes, does anyone really need to play any of these shitty decks 1000 times in 4 months waiting for a few new cards for us to reup?

They won't, becasue they can't same reason they are leaning so hard on discover instead of actually making new mechanics / rules. Yes adapt, but how much have they really added since vanilla? think about it, other games add a lot more than this. Magic was doing 3 new mechanics plus flavor and themes every expansion for years.

Until they are making less money year on year they will do whatever they feel like. If we are not happy with the game, we can either find different ways to try and get some enjoyment out of it or move on.

I played this game pre naxx on my own terms and enjoyed it as a casual diversion. Now after playing it every month since June 15, i'm pretty sick of it. Everytime i get a garbage roll, or my opponent gets the 1 in 70 etc i want to vomit and punch something at the same time.

At a point you play out of routine and obligation to your collection / and so you won't fall behind. Which is exactly what they want.

Just quit, your account/s are there you can go back to them years later, dust stuff and make new decks. Or sell them off for a pittance.

All these stale meta posts are about symptoms of the real problem and the problem isn't the meta or the cards, it's the game itself.

Yeah, i'm really bored, i hardly even do the dailies every 2-3 days.

Y'all know a real easy way to have fun?

Try playing something else yourself instead of complaing about other players doing exactly that...

Plz add more good 6 drop and 7 drop in the game. I play CW and I dont have any decent or high attack minion in these very important turn thâts why I lost to Jade all the time lol. Or just bring back Shielmaiden already she should be in the classic set .

 Jade as a mechanic is a powerful counter to Control Decks. I understand that you have hard time keeping up with it. I would suggest you to use Alexstrazsa and Gromash in your deck, and think about including Ysera aswell. Alex Grom will help you close out the game faster, Ysera will help you sustain against Jades, her cards are also very powerful for their mana cost. They are also really large minions that the Druid has hard time dealing with.

Just lost to a control paladin as dragon priest, with him on 1 health for 3 turns. He wiped my board with equality+consecration and put down a bunch of stuff, and it just got out of hand. Sure it feels like crap on my end to not have counted my damage more carefully, but to be fair he timed everything really well, and I would much rather lose to this kind of stuff rather than PW or quest rogue or some other RNGesus generated cards.

That said all what I'm hoping for is maybe one or two cheap dragons whether or not they are in priest, and i will be happy. Priest, whether miracle, medivh control, dragon, silence are all really fun, somewhat competitive, and not that expensive.  Hell even burn priest and elemental priest are a thing. Why have cards like mind vision and thought steal when you have all these better options to play with. RNG is perfectly fine, like somone said u can't complain if Regnaros doesnt heal ur face and u die. However, the level of randomness with certain cards right now is disgusting at times. A priest once got a mindcontrol and Lyra from Darkonid Operative, got a mind vision from that lyra, stole Medivh from my hand, and gg.

 This is such a silly post. There's loads of viable decks at the moment. Is quest rogue anti-fun? yes, but there's plenty of other interactive/viable decks atm. I'm not sure how much more variety you want.

priest-silence/dragon/control

mage-burn/freeze/secret/discover

rogue-miracle/quest

warlock-murloc/discard

warr-pirate/quest

paladin-murloc aggro/midrange/control

shaman-token/jade/control

druid-token/jade

I just listed 20+ viable decks. Not sure what else you would expect in terms of diversity.

80% of the people on this discussion is complaining about RNG why do hell are you playing games if your going to complain about RNG case closed have a good day
