For fuck's sake make a version of this game that isn't on autopilot. Remove the bullshit matchmaking system. Take off the AI that spoon feeds perfect cards on curve. Stop making every discover card discover the absolute best possible cards. Stop having RNG effects that are supposed to be random hit perfectly every time. Make an actual random version of this game and I would pay real money to play it. 

 Yup. Nothing like getting ready to win a game only to have the opponent discover the perfect card that fully resets them to 30 health. Because you know, if I win 3 games, Blizzard says you also have to lose three games, because everybody should have the same mediocre playing experience.

Blizzard obviously subscribes to the socialist doctrine.

So many degenerates in casual playing aggro decks and roping all the time. Just throw that shit in my face and end your turn.

FUCK that Evolve card and all Wild cards in standard!!!!

Can't wait there gone!!!!

Played 1 match this evening. EU standard Rank 18 vs Tip the scales paladin.

Holy shit.

That deck is the embodiment of brain dead auto play which currently plagues the game. Play prismatic lens. Play tip the scales - summon 7 murlocs. Play the same combo and summon another 7 for a total of 14. That’s 14 cards that the game plays for you. Then to make it even more hilarious the deck has Zephyr which is played as a win condition/last chance saloon.  

Between decks like this and the evolve shaman epidemic Blizzard is so clearly taking the piss.

Since I posted this 2 days ago 7 out of 9 matchups have been against tip the scales murloc.

It’s a small sample but throw in the number of shaman evolve matchups from other posts and the majority of players are consistently playing dumbass autopilot decks. Which by no coincidence is the direction the game is currently pursuing.

We who like to think are in the minority! 

I'm going to be salty about HearthPwn for a second. I don't get how to appeal to HearthPwn's user base when it comes to custom card creation. I've been doing it for a few weeks now, and try and make stuff that is fun, flavourful, balanced and unique - and then that fails to get through, while a card that's almost a direct rip-off of one that was in a Trump video a month ago makes it. A few weeks ago, a tribe-shifted Underbelly Ooze got through. 

Oh look: standard ladder still has 30-40% of players running evolve shaman: sad that so many players are

a) so lame 

b) so so lame they are still not at legend grinding it

Path. Thetic.

Your rank is MEANINGLESS shaman players - deduct your free wins from your broken mechanic and clearly - you suck.

With ZTG Blizzard has clearly abandoned the position that the RNG is not manipulated. As the outcomes are completely predetermined I would suggest adding something to the screen. At the bottom simply add a Win/Loss indicator. At the start of the game Blizzard can simply tell you "you are going to win" or "you are going to lose". At that point it is up to you whether or not you want to play the game out.

 That would be interesting. If I got the indicator "You are going to win" I would hard pass every turn just to see how the game would make me win (probably by making my opponent disconnect).

Small Indie company...

 Clearly you could concede on turn one and lose even if you are scheduled to win. Perhaps just a green light or a red light showing favorable vs unfavorable draw. 

Whoever put junkbot and cobalt and all the mech synergies in battleground is a fucking dipshit. More highrolly garbage than a Trolden clip.

84/84 divine shield +  taunt + deathrattle amalgam is fine , screw ur balance team guys literally 

Boys when you feel the need to touch the emotes at ANY time, just put your hand back on the tweezers and keep tugging your little peen...We can already tell you're a loser by the deck you're playing - no need to confirm it. We know how lame you are already.

No alleycat or tidefin first pick for 17 battlegrounds in a row, guess I lose,

No amalgams offered? Oh the guy in first has two golden amalgams and is only level 4. Guess I lose.

No mama bear, oh here is the guy with golden mama,,,,,

seriously battlegrounds is all rng. Everyone knows what to grab but if you don’t get it offered early enough you lose. 

Inb4 some asshat saying but I won ONE time with murlocs hur dur, the people that get salty are the ones that understand when they are getting screwed by rng, 

meanwhile ignorance is bliss. 

Reno Mage (me) vs Reno Priest (opponent).
Game was great, I ended up handicapping myself by assuming I would answers to very specific things that just never showed up. That's on me and I make no complaints about it.
So why am I posting here?

Super grindy matchup.
3 turns of both passing to keep value.
Opponent Benidictus' me for 5 cards. Shuffles an Amara into his deck with one of my cards.
I have Elysiana so I can generate cards too.
I gradually pull ahead.
Gradually pull ahead.
Opponent plays a Psychopomp, gets a bad result.
They ragequit.

REALLY? You queue up with a super grindy deck and you leave at the end game?!!??!

Just had one of those games that makes you curse Hearthstone RNG. Playing low ranked wild, against a Highlander mage that was running extra turn quest, because reasons. Clearly not a very good deck as evidenced by a couple cards they included like random Deathlord and Mirror Entity.

Anywho, stars aligned for them to basically survive lethal - they played Brann + MCT and managed to snag my biggest two minions. They then played an Ice Lance with their last mana to freeze my next biggest minion. Despite this, I had them down to 1 health between my board and hand, and simply had to discover something that would increase my damage at all and cost 1 from a spell lackey (so something like Lightning Bolt or Frost Shock) - but no dice. And then they Reno'd, meaning that they managed to survive because they got the highest roll possible from their MCT, then dodged at least 3 game winning spells from my 2 lackey battlecries.

That would've been fine, as I still had board and they were basically dead if I could find a Bloodlust off of either minion Hagatha battlecry - no dice. Still, got Haunting Visions on one, and they were dead if I got a Bloodlust off of either of those - no dice. Meanwhile, they drop Frost Lich Jaina - easily the best card I had seen out of their deck, and one of those annoyingly good cards that can carry an otherwise bad/average deck to victory due to how strong and infinite value it is. After another turn of nothing-good from me, I decided to stop wasting my time against bad RNG and just conceded out of there.

I mean, in some ways it's good that Hearthstone (and many card games) has those random elements that allow massive underdogs to pinch a win. In other ways, it's super frustrating when someone wins off of 90% luck, and 10% a single super strong card.

I can understand if you are a VERY bad player and you never got to legend before, you would play evolve noobman. At legend however, what a sad little prick you are if you do..

No amalgams offered today, no mama bear offered today. No junkbots offered today, no alley cats offered today,

My opponent's have perfect sniping. 

26 matches today, went from 5900 to the 4600s unbelievable bad luck,

given loads of murlocs but no warleaders

given loads of demons but no mal ganis 

loads of beast no mama.
