So I started playing some battlegrounds again - it's alright I guess. A lot better since cannons were removed.
However, Jandice + Pogos is extremely problematic. I mean, it's fair enough that one hero is going to be at the top (or near the top - which seems crazy, but I digress), but this combo is way too good and way too easy (online at tier 2, so the minion required is quite plentiful - plus no-one else wants it, so it's high availability).
Yep, that's basically the whole post. Sick of seeing first place Jandices with 2 100+ Pogos, and the other 5 minions being barely top 4 worthy at best.
This meta is just disgusting, people say it's the most diverse meta, but the only things I see are shard DH, spellmage and some variant of priest.
The first one just goes face all the time and can kill you without every letting a minion even attack, the second one will just keep getting evocations and spells that do 'yes' face damage ofcourse and wipe the board easily because of a 1 cost 1/3 minion WITH SPELL DAMAGE. And the last one is just a never ending game until someone either fatigues or surrender.
What happened to HS where there were only a couple of facedecks and they had no removal/healing/card draw and mages had limited spells instead of a 5 mana 3/5 that almost always gives them evocation -> more spells that are temporary -> probably more spells that stay
Dial down on the powercreep blizzard, I think you're going to lose a lot of players. And I don't mean just HS, I mean every single game that you've worked so hard to build up and are now ruining: Eg warcraft 3 reforged, HS, BG, Diablo mobile, overwatch, starcraft 2,...
Who plays standard anymore? All I play against is stupid retard combo decks who everytime I have lethal oh wow great top deck. Oh wow great top deck saving you again and again. Til they get their little haha you lose scrub combo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 100 percent luck is allllllllllll this game is now. Good job Bli$$ turning this once great game that could not possibly fail into a zoomer/millennial version of a casino. And in the end they completely failed. Modernity is so awesome
The problem remains...they have algorithms in place to meet and maintain their stated goal of all players staying as close as possible to a 50% win rate...and that is the definition of manipulated outcomes in this 'game' regardless of how they are actually implementing it.
Thats still the main problem here that people have issues with like it or not.
CAN THIS GAME STOP HOLDING ON TO THAT ARTIFICIAL 50 PER CENT WINRATE AND LET ME GET OUT OF GOLD 2 WITHOUT THANOSING ME AROUND JESUS CHRIST ON THE GODDAMN CROSS
Spend all this time developing an awesome game and then because the revenue starts to drop some jackass at Blizzard suggests removing all thought and strategy from the game to attract and keep new players and we get this mindless autopilot nonsense.
Standard is in absolutely trash state and I'm baffled that the only problem blizzard balance """""""specialists""""""" see is druid. Of course druid was broken, but if they just look at all meta decks they can see that they're actually all brain-dead. Soul DH and bomb warrior - completely degenerate uninteractive decks that just go face and remove all threats you play, just like old oil rogue; priest, mage - i'd rather took a coin flip to not waste time on playing the match, because there are always 20-30 randonly generated cards you can't play around; and paladin who just jerks his infinite 0-cost librams, goes face and when he's out of infinite librams, he will get his hand refilled via Liadrin or 7 mana card. Even face hunter is not as annoying as this degenerate quintet, because you actually know what and when to expect. I don't understand how nobody at blizzard sees/cares about this
Just decide all the placements of BG at the start of the game. Why pretend its even a game mode? You assholes managed to make it more RNG than it ever was.

Because Blizzard only cares about these crazy busted gamebreaking cards that they can spit out each expansion (company paycheck time) that drooling idiots will pay $$$ for.
They basically are saying "pssst...hey kid, here (looks left and right)....come over here and check out these shiny new cards we made that will take a steaming sh*t all over the very rules we ourselves set that makes HS a game! Crazy right??? Yours for only $79.99 U.S. "
3 months later they nerf the strongest ones to the ground to try make Hearthstone sort of look somewhat like an actual strategy game again....so they can repeat the process.
Thats their business model...and no they do not care about game balance, fans, esports, or Hearthstone as a competitive, fair, interactive, or fun experience for normal people.
Clownfiesta games are certainly not fun, but they are profitable for Blizz thanks to children and incels.

Thanks rngesus I won that match.
If you had to describe hs to someone who never played it in one sentence:
"Your opponent got -1 health, 0 cards in hand, 0 cards in the deck and 0 minions on the field, and then came RNGESUS and made him win."
Last 4 games in casual: face hunter, pure paladin, aggro dh, bomb warrior.
The usual delightful casual "just for fun" routine.
EDIT: fifth game. stealth rogue. of course.

That sums it up beautifully.
hunter hunter demon hunter hunter demon hunter hunter hunter hunter.
My opponents for today. I am selling hs account
I like weed.
The only reason you faced demon hunter once is because someone had a quest.
Why is face demon hunter with soulshards not nerfed?
