I'm starting to believe the matchmaking system is rigged. It is next to impossible to get to Legend from Rank 5 Diamond, not because the game matches you with same skill level (How can this game detect skill level anyways?) but I believe the system in place is actually counter queue. Why else would I get value Mages and Rogues, two of the best classes and decks to beat control decks that I mostly play. And then the moment I switch to a value deck I get matched against alot of aggro, it's so consistent only around Rank 5 Diamond it's too uncanny to be just a coincidence. 

 

 true , same experience when i play libram paly i get only warlocks against me so they burn half of my deck , when i switch to warlock i meet only zoolocks which are quite hard to counter. in wild i play control deck well here i meet only big priests vs me , when i switch to anti big priest deck i dont meet priest whole day . fuck off blizzard 

Why would you tri-hard kill your opponent, if the opponent is clearly trying to get a achievement done and is not a treat at all (not attacking + damaging own face). I've spent the past 3 days farming the YoggChamp achievement. Not once has a enemy player took the time to cast a spell when i'm about to die and he's still at full hp so is at zero risk of dying.

well , todays experience , coutnerspell is fucking bullshit ( HoF it please ) 
when this game comes from warcraft lore , where the fuck warlock get a weapon ? NOWHERE , fuck skull of manari ( wild ) 
from board control mage i have in my signature we are far far away. it is my favourite deck and unplayable in most cases thanks to aggro mage ( yes aggro , not secret , because if somebody plays mana wyrm turn 1 into kabal + secret and kabal + secret next turn and one of those secrets is counterspell how the fuck im supposed to remove it ? when second secret is explosive runes which hit my minion for something and rest goes to my face. thats just lowbrain aggro) 

how the hell shaman has to equip such a shitload of weapon when in warcraft only weapon is doomhammer ? 
and at last , fuck this man who created keymaster alabaster shit. didnt expected wild play ? cool , it is really nice when i cant do anything about what i draw next turn and i draw jaina and my shitty priest enemy plays jaina for 1 mana , meteor for 1 mana , and rag for 1 mana . what a piece of shit u have in head , ban the fucking standart cards from wild already. 

this expansion i was 2times in legend and i dont want more. playing battlegrounds and i can throw my own shit on standart and wild atm .. 

why ? because matchmaking is fucked up in every game mode. like what the fuck , when i started to play battlegrounds , first 10 games everyone was AFK and only i was the one playing. 10 free wins thats not fun , thats not interactive it is just bullshit , like when 10 foes concedes in standart at me , im okay with that , im climbing somewhere . but the bots in bgs just to make XP. fuck off , make the reward track better and award XP only for wins . or ... remove it totally 

getting cards in this game from packs is also pain , for 7600 gold i bought packs , 76 pack opened  and i got 2 fucking epics and no legendary.. 

i was never so frustrated by any game but HS. since B.B is away from dev. team the game sux more and more.

 Every aspect of the game is manipulated. Nothing is random.

Dear Santa

Evolve shaman is really naughty this year and need a fucking nerf 

like anything, weapon at 3 attack would be a good start but I would prefer 6 mana.

Thanks you Santa!

 

 

 Honestly, I think neither attack nor mana of the weapon is the problem with evolve shaman. The evolve mechanic is meant to be high variance and should be balanced accordingly. The actual problem with evolve shaman is it being waaayyyy too consistent. This has two reasons:

1) Cagematch custodian. This card allows shamans to consistently have at least one copy of the knuckles on curve, which is bad for the balance. It should never have been released during the same rotation as the weapon.

2) Boggspine knuckles affecting the whole friendly side of the board. Since the deck can quite easily vomit 7 minions on the board, you can easily evolve 7 minions with it. And at that point, the variance isn't that much of a problem anymore. There will be some nice evolutions almost all of the time. The weapon should affect 3 random friendly minions, 4 tops. Then the variance would still be quite high. Allowing really good and really bad turns. Also, the shamans would need some additional plans and considerations regarding the rest of their board space, making it a more interesting deck overall.

At least one of those two problems need to be adressed by the developers. In general, I'm not a fan of balance updates that only change mana costs and stats. If an effect seems to be overtuned you might want to adjust the effect itself...

 And the other big problem is the pillager. It being actually stronger than the pure paladin dude just doesn't sound right.

 Have you tried playing evolve shaman lately? All you see are hyper aggressive face hunters and rogues that kill you by turn 5. They did more than nerf Boggspine. They adjusted the matchmaking system to discourage people from playing it. 

 And how could you blame them? The only way to deal with winrate-obsessed farming p####s is decrease their actual winrate.

 Not true. The best way would be not to make the garbage cards in the first place. They aren't dealing with something they were stuck with. They created those cards. 

Faced a face hunter. Drew every counter perfectly on curve. He eventually conceded.

Next game another face hunter. Exact same deck. Drew the absolute worst cards. Dead in 6 turns.

Next game was demon hunter. I was dead in 5 turns. He drew perfect cards of course. 

It's like going into a casino and sitting down at a table where either you or the dealer gets blackjack every hand. Boring and I would never play with real money. 

How bad does it feel to have some cunt do fuck all and then pull 3 or 4 Obsidian Statues out of nowhere and auto win. Why is Big Priest still a thing. How can it still exist in 2021. Are T5 fucking retarded. At this point it's either incompetence or a middle finger, there is no other option. 

final round

Still cannot believe they printed a card like Tickatus. 

Face it guys. This game is not a game at all, but an attempted revenue generator that is pretending to be a strategy game. 

Again it is 100% manipulated to try to make you feel like there is player engagement, interactivity, and choice - when in reality there is none for the player.

Blizzard created this fake game to test how much their research could convince players that it was otherwise - while preying on the addictive gambling behaviors in people through manipulation via dopamine centers in the brain while playing, provide them with the illusion of winning via luck or skill - when in reality all players win equally nearly 100% of the time. 

On a win streak? Its your dopamine "turn" and the opposite for your opponent. On a losing streak? Time to reinforce the need to "desire" the cool cards and deck that you lose to. "Buy more" " open more packs" etc.

Completely fake "game" that just wants your money.

Thankfully I've never spent a dime for this garbage as I have seen this from the start and tried to inform others. I truly hope this game fails soon and all servers are shut down because they have 0 interest into ever making this the proper interactive strategy game that it could and should be.

Such a waste of talented artists, sound designers, and developers - all at the whim of greedy corporate handlers. Unfortunate and sad for them.

Pure pallys can go suck a chode fucking smorcing against a deck with lots of heals but lucky him I DON'T DRAW ANY OF THEM FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! also like 100% of the time turn 1 and turn 2 plays how the fuck...??

I never understood arrogant people who would add you just to try and taunt/troll you. You play a fun deck, and know that Ticketus-lock is a bad matchup, and they act like a child the whole time. Thanks for proving that people are still toxic morons.

I swear, if any deck makes me quit this game it'll be Libram Paladin. It's just so intensely boring to play against. I can't imagine how incredibly unimaginative one would have to be to play it on purpose. 

I am done with Wild as well now. This game is now in "who kills who first by turn 6" mode. I faced a lot of secret mage with tons of burst, face hunters and other braindead decks. Hearthstone is only Battlegrounds for me. The rest is gone, doesn't exist. Completely ruined and I have been palying it for over 7 years...

had to get some much needed fresh air from this clown show game so i made a complete 180 move from one of the most random games to one that has 0 in it and perfect information, go. loving every second of it, too. can only recommend it

To all the tier 1 deckers in Casual and portrait highlighters don't hate my deck because it is beautiful playa! Maybe if you would get rid of that stupid yee yee ass deck from casual we could all have more fun also you would get some skill on your hands if you play it in Ranked against other tier 1 decks. Loosers!

Nerf secret mage already blizzard. this deck has no weak point. tempo card draw burn and it can deal with other aggro ecks with flak mage

I love the win rates that some of these streamers claim. Ever try one if these 95%+ deck builds? What they fail to mention is that unless you get the pro streamer adjustment to the matchmaking system it will be a 50% win rate deck just like every other one. I get it - no one wants to tune in to watch a streamer win 50% of their games. So they have to make sure that doesn't happen. It is a business after all and if you are going to pay people to promote your game you had better make them look good.

If you need any more proof that the ZTG programming controls every aspect of the game just try one of the top rated decks. It is amazing how you will be matched up against perfect counter decks. Then you will win a couple easily. Then slaughtered for a couple. Thus their stated goal of a 50% win rate is maintained. 

Game crashes IMMEDIATELY as I get my 1000th Paladin win, so I miss out on the lil 1000 WINS!!! celebration. Boooo.

1st Match: I polluted his deck with 2423438246723784 weasles, 345345435 albatroses and 435435435 whatever. his hand: 0. his deck 60.

14! FOURTEEN FRIKKEN ROUNDS he topdecked perfect counters for what i had on the field.

I won, and i guess the extra time got me a nice bunch of xp, but i still hate the FUCK YOU from the matchmaker RNGsus!

2nd match: I shuffled keltucrapzad THREE times into his 50+ sized deck, and he drew him EVERY AND EACH TIME back again the VERY NEXT ROUND!

 edit: Do i have to mention that i get fucked when they just pollute my deck with ONE card?.....

While there are fanbois claiming, its just shadows, i claim there is MORE! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave
