Fucking sick and tired of playing freezestone with these mages. Please blizzard. Please do your game and your community s favor and get rid of all the mage freezes.

Okay, I stomached most metas since Alpha, but this one....it's completely fucked. The most annoying decks are back, Freeze Mage, combo druid, control warrior...decks are teching in Cult Neophyte, people are STILL playing Tempo DH and Highlander Hunter. Which btw both got better this expansion) this has to be the most toxic standard has ever been.

 Join the clan. Living in Wild where you can break every broken shit with more broken shit and not looking forward to not having anything to do against X.

I had to sign up just to vent. I've been at this shitshow since LOE and this game has turned into a total clownfest. It's no longer any fun. As a matter of of fact, I'll go as far as to say it's now a game made for narcissistic assholes. Those are the only people who can have fun with this game in 2020. I've gone from playing about 20 matches a day to a couple every now and then and it's purely out of addiction. I'm going to break that addiction after this post because enough is enough. I'm selling my account and telling Blizzard to play hide and go fuck themselves.

There is absolutely no reason to indulge in a game where you sit there and watch your opponent pull off insane combos, generate cards out of nowhere, mana cheat, etc., and there isn't a fucking thing you can do about it. There was a time when  strategic trading and planning was top priority because the mana system was strict. Now it's just who can be more unfair first. I could get into all of the little details but that's covered by everyone else. The fact of the matter is this game fucking sucks. 

About the game being rigged. Do I think the matches are rigged? No. I've had my fair share of "I top decked the exact card I needed at the exact time I needed it". There is only 30 cards a deck so the odds are not that staggering. However, matchmaking is so rigged it should be obvious to a monkey with an IQ of 3. Go ahead, put that tech card in and you rarely see the deck you're teching against again.

Either way, the game is just not good for people who have a bit of competitive spirit. When you lose knowing full well you did everything right, it's demoralizing. I would find myself fantasizing taking my opponents face after the "well played" and defeat and just punching it over and over again until it was unrecognizable. I never feel that way losing any other game I play against others and I'm talking C.O.D, Madden, Mortal Kombat, etc. Hell, even games like Dark Souls and Nioh are ten times more challenging and yet I enjoy it and keep pushing because at least in those games, it's your fault if you die. Therein lies the difference. Hearthstone punishes you even after understanding the game and playing it good. It just doesn't matter. This is why there is a salt thread that will never die until either the forum and/or game does.

Fuck Hearthstone. It's a toxic game full of toxic players. 

 

Exactly. Most people actually understand these truths about this pathetic "Card strategy game". Nothing more than a cash grab by a company who makes  money off of children...and adults who thinks this game is truly random.

 Just had a thread removed and I was given a warning against talking about things that we all know are true but can't say here or in the Blizzard forum. I was literally told that my posts were "not constructive"as opposed to super constructive posts like "Fuck Druid" and "secret mage players should kill themselves". The agenda here is clear. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. 

Even though "methinks thou dost protest too much", you moderators won't have any more problems from me. I'll stick to constructive topics like profanity and death threats. 

 

 Speaking about being salty - is there anything worse than people butchering Hamlet quotes? ;)

That sure makes me salty

 Yes there is something worse.

Pretentious people.

Playing bomb warriior. Got my upgraded Wrenchcalibur stolen by sticky fingers.

And then my opponent immediately drew both the bombs I placed into his deck. (BOTH!) Right before I played Dr. Boom and Broom on the same turn.

Turn 2-3 plays. ''Fun and interactive''

 These shills are hysterical. Everyone knows every facet of the game is rigged.

Lucky Druid got Zixor out of the taunt beast, so what did he do? WENT OMEGALUL WITH KAEL'THAS LIKE AN AUCTIONEER ON STEROIDS, played both SotF + Overflow IN THE SAME TURN, and then 12/12s Zixor Primes on the next..

Im done with this game until they fix Kael'Thas, easily the most broken piece of shit card in HS history, Team 5 can fuck right off!

All these hot fixes but dood we just can’t seem to be able to simply take megasaur out of battlegrounds. Because divine shield poison or just poison alone is just such mad skillz man. I love my infinite second place to usual rng bs that is in every single goddamn mode of this game.

Seriously if the BG team was sitting next to me when I play this retarded fucking slot machine I would start punching some faces. Mother fuckers.  There is no worse feeling that watching helplessly as you lose over and over because you dont have streamer luck. 

Punished for going murlocs, punished for NOT going murlocs. BG sucks fucking ass right now. Half the heroes are completely useless. 0 comeback mechanics other than playing the ghost. 

I just need to vent here. I absolutely hate face decks. It's not cool, it's not fun or interesting, you're lame for playing one.

kalecgos discovered by azure explorer discovers puzzle box of yogg wipes my whole board fills his whole board heals him to full

get me the fuck out of this game

Please mate don't emote, you cannot choose proper response, then don't do it.

Can Blizzard please do something about the freeze mechanic? My entire board got frozen for 3 turns in a row (2 Blizzards and a frost nova). When i properly developed my board and had lethal. Then my opponent usedTortollan Pilgrim and Potion of Illusion to keep me infinitely frozen with his last frost nova. This is not fun and extremely broken. Please fix this blizzard

 There's a nuetral anti-freeze minion isnt there. No one is going tech that in though.

 Solid. Anyone that thinks druid is/has ever been balanced is fucking stupid. Still hard to believe this game has tournaments.

Bomb warrior rng is cancer. No skill just luck.

Wall of text, sorry for that. But I feel certain things are not ok and must be said. I'll split it in 2 parts.

I recently had a few days time and decided to farm some gold, since we all know its a rare good. The result...salt of course. It's not the first time I realized this, but this game clearly doesn't want you to accumulate gold through grinding towards the 100 gold daily limit.

It started reasonable the first day but after a few hours it turned a little worse. When I came back the 2nd day I hit a brick wall, lost the first 10 games in a row (2 or 3 straight concedes against priest included since I wanted quick wins). After that it hardly got better,my RNG was all over the place. Back to back to back druids with turn 3 and 4 Guardian Animals always with 1 Lake Trasher to wipe my board perfectly. I was playing aggro stealth rogue for quick wins so I had to be aggressive, next one a Kael thas who pulled of 3 spells for free in one turn. It was ridiculous, I had 2 copies of cutting class in my deck, the one card you only want to see with a buffed weapon or a hooked skimitar equipped. I lost count how many times I got that after the mulligan or directly as first card drawn. Typical start hand secret passage,Edwin,Steeldancer,cutting class...

Well the 3 rd day wasn't any better.10 losses straight again, you could mostly already tell after 2 or 3  turns this is a lost case. So a lot of quick wins for my opponents there through concedes. I had an open arena run with 1 win, thought maybe that would work...no 3 defeats in a row. People with multiple legends and perfect synergies. I don't consider myself a great player, but I could reach rank 5 regularly...well if you draft shit, draw shit and your opponent doesen't it's basically 100% game over, not even a rank 1 legend player could do anything there. They say arena shows your true skill...I just can't second that, in fact I think it's even more of a RNG lottery then ladder.

2 nd Arena run...no legends or epics as usual...highlighted by a game where I had a huge board and easy lethal next turn against a priest. The priest apparently had a good draft because he could plague of death my whole board. Next turn (10 mana) he top decks dragonqueen in a fucking Arena deck...I mean seriously one of the best cards WITH no duplicate condition...into Kalcegos into some copy spell..dare I say game over. Afterwards again huge board advantage with 2 Judicious Juniors...both stolen by MINDCONTROL and after that a 3 rd Mindcontrol, this time stolen from my deck...run finished.

with the reward pack my pity timer hit 40...legend opened Infiltrator Lilian oh well...you often read posts here on opening days where people open 150 packs and get 15 legends (1/10) including 3 golden ones and 40 epics. I just cant believe that. In my history of hearthstone starting about half a year after beta I had exactly one solid expansion opening,which was Journey to Ungoro.I got 2 golden quests (open the waygate one of them) and legends slightly under a 1/20 packs rate. All the other expansions that rate was between 1/25 and 1/40, epics in average maybe 1/7.

If you apply an average 1/35 legend and a 1/7 epic opening rate for someone who does his dailies, grinds some gold here and there and is able to open 80 packs at the start of a new expansion thats 3 legends (with the guaranteed one in the fist 10) and 11 epics. With the introduction of demon hunter we have 10 classes 24 new legends and 46 new epics each expansion...so thats just a small share of whats available...and imagine you draw the bad ones. Basically with those rigged pack rates you would have to open around 800 packs to get all legends...impossible

Thats actually the biggest flaw in the system.You can not give people legends at a 1/10 rate and others at a 1/35 rate.Thats a HUGE imbalance, especially if the F2P folks get the 1/35 rates. You'll never be able to keep up. I'd immediately sign if I get the average 1/20 legend and 1/5 epic rates offered. The good RNG folks would probably refuse that offer. Pity timers HAVE to be changed.

So RNG and manipulation in every single aspect of this spoiled game. Matchmaking rigged (playing against a rankless your opponent with legend card back anyone), your draw and mulligan nerfed, opponents draw buffed, crazy combos enabled for your opponent, Pack opening rigged, legend and epic opening rates close to the pity timer, Golden cards decreased, quests rigged (what is a 100 Gold quest,not seen one in a year),don't get me started about that battlegrounds slot machine...

all in order to frustrate you and push you towards buying a bundle/craft new cards and milk the players/maximize profit

I also think RNG isn't the same for every player and isn't only maintained to reach a 50% win rate. If certain people lose more there must be others who win more. Imho there's whales who preorder each time, buy all the event packs and newbies/people that return after a long break who get favourable RNG in matchups or packs and on the other side people like me, who are mostly or completely F2P veterans, who grind a lot and try to keep up, that get awful RNG. I know there is some people out there, who defend Blizzard/Team 5 at all cost and deny manipulation...imho they belong into the group of whales who never/hardly experienced rigged nerfed RNG or streamers with buffed RNG....or its people paid by Blizzard

Honestly at this point I think it might be better to just stop and quit hearthstone. But there's just so much time and effort invested in it and actually it was fun and one of the best games I've played back then. It's a shame cause I know with the right competent people in charge, that actually care for the game and not only profit, this could be THE CTCG for years to come. But currently you just close the game and feel salty and mad about rigged RNG. Maybe a 3 month break or whatever is needed to get that free deck for returners is the way to go and meanwhile give LOR a try.Then return and see if things changed. If not leave for good.

I'm shocked I dont see any complaints about Lightforged Zealot. It's 12 dmg for 4 mana. That beats original DH metamorphosis 3 mana cheaper and 2 more dmg. It's so extremely braindead stupid. Pure libram pal is probably more braindead than hunter currently.

12 dmg!  4 mana
