Dear Hearthstone

Thanks for addressing your complete void of game development ideas by turning Standard back into Wild.  Bringing back Mysterious Challenger for Paladin but Renounce Darkness for Warlock?  Brilliant and balanced!

Am I to understand that you're making these retired, OP, wild cards accessible to everyone for free for a limited time, but allowing them to remain in Standard for the rest of the year?  The ones many many people dusted as we bought into your vision of Standard, and will need to recraft(?!??!)  I'm not following closely enough anymore (after hearing about Mysterious Challenger) to get to the bottom of this, but again, Inspired business model!

I truly appreciate your dedicated commitment to drive me away from this desperate dumpster fire of a "game".

Why not just rename the game "Zephyrs"? All the card is doing is what the game does every single turn - read the board and determine the perfect card. The game is now completely mindless. Strategy was removed so they can try to attract new players with the attention spans of goldfish. 

They aren't even trying to be subtle about it anymore. Perfect draw after perfect draw - it's like watching a game on Youtube. Imagine how boring the WSOP would be if every hand ended in a player getting a royal flush on the river. That is what this game has become. 

fun story

So I was playing quest paladin and was faced against quest shaman.I did my best to win against RNG fiesta shaman and I was winning.

until......the game just said I cannot reconect (I checked my wifi and it was good).It was around 5 min. and then it reconect me at the end when he killed me and last think he spamed me ,,thats increadble" , rope me and BM me soo hard.Then after that, hs just kicked me out of the game.

$mall indi cpmany logic: if u pay, u ok , if u not, U ARE THOT

Shaman can do a pile of direct damage right up until the turn they play a guy who does it all again. What a fucking joke. Oh well, this game is a joke and I should be used to it by now.

Dragonslayer should not be available in arena.

I'm quitting arena until they do something about going first over second advantage. Today I went 5-3 with pretty good paladin deck, 4/5 of my wins as going first, 3/3 of losses as going second. I had some break from Hearthstone and it has always been an issue in arena, but now after couple of runs I feel overwhelmed by aggresive hunters, paladins or rogues with ridiculous answers going first.

I totally undesrtand Kripp's saltiness and crying on this issue, since it can be really frustrating to just win or lose because of a coinflip.

I have no idea how to balance it, but some changes are required. I would like to enjoy Hearthstone once again.

 The entire game has become a coin flip. Perfect draws, top deck winners, one out RNG effects, etc. The outcomes are predetermined before the mulligan. Ever wonder how you can win easily one game then lose in 5 turns the next? It's not because you are suddenly bad at the game. You simply can't beat manipulated RNG.

 You deserved it for playing that retarded deck

FUCK THE 5 GOLD!

GET A FUCKING FREE ARENA, GET 5 GOLD.

GO OTHER 3 FUCKING ARENAS TO GET ANOTHER 5 GOLD AND DON'T GET ANY, FUCKING BULLSHIT.

YEAH I CARE ABOUT THIS AND FUCK YOU IF YOU THINK THIS IS NONSENSE.

FUCK COLDLIGHT ORACLE, FUCKING CANCER BRAINLESS CARD.

I played 4 of my last 6 ranked games in Wild against Secret Mages, thank you so much for the variety Blizzard! Best game company ever! <3 /s

Only played one match today. Rank 18 EU standard vs control warrior with all the Hallows end trimmings - Emperor Thaurissan, Sylvanas Windrunner, Ragnaros the Firelord and of course Archivist Elysiana! Because if you're going to make an incredibly sad and boring deck you might as well do it properly.

Just got OTK'd by a Flamewaker at 23 health. Nbd. Fuck sakes.

Who the fuck decided it would be a good idea to bring back flame waker to standard?! nobody wanted it back, tempo mage is completly braindead deck. Best joke yet blizzard

So apparently doing 48 damage with flamewalker at turn 8 in standard is a thing now?

Meanwhile druids get Astral communion.

If I like to play Wild I would do just that. Don't force that stupid crap on Standard Play. See you in a few weeks Blizzard.

 That seems to be the case. Combine Flamewalker with manipulated RNG and you have for short, mindless games to attract new players that have the attention span of goldfish. 

I met like 3 flamewalker mages recently, they all got thaurissan on 6 and the kill combo on 7. I'm apparently committing the mistake of playing a deck that requires to have a brain.

 Unfortunately a brain is no longer required to play Hearthstone. You either get spoon fed perfect cards on curve or your opponent does. No thought or strategy necessary.
