It astonishes me that everyone seems to think that roping all the way to the end timer is considered "BM" and nothing else. While there are those pricks that do it intentionally out of spite (ableit a minority) there are also people that..you know...actually think out their turns by weighing what other options they have, if "x play" would be better than "y play." Also accounting for certain cards your opponent has in their hand as well as your own (ex. figuring out what cards your opponent's Alex gave them but didn't play them could mean something) thinking ahead, knowing what's left in your deck etc etc...
If you ever watch Trump's videos and stream you would understand what I mean. Of course he tends to over think things but he's using his brain and using the most time he has to his advantage, unlike most HS players. As well as players at tournaments try to do their best with the time they have to win, an incentive to do when you're risking a grand prize of over a grand in money.
Yea. We should punish people that use decks with high winrate. Who do they think they are, using a competitive game to their advantage?
What a pathetic, self entitled world we live in. Your parents made you wear helmets to cross the street, and told you how special you are 12 times a day didn't they?
I'm truly sorry these horrible people can trigger you in your safe space.

Thinking about plays in HS in 2020. Good one
Yeah, it's almost as if 98% of players don't use their brain.

I'm pretty sure most people who are complaining about 'ropers' aren't doing so because a player facing a complicated decision process actually used up their entire alotted time (ie. 10 mana, complicated board state, no solution that is clearly better than the others). Generally when someone complains about ropers they're doing so because of a person doing it when that amount of brainpower almost surely isn't required - like turn 1 or 2 when their play ultimately ends up being very obvious - or, even more obviously, when they play out their whole turn but then don't pass.
Well, at least that would be my complaint against them. I can't speak for everyone, and I'm sure some people are pretty unreasonable about the high-decision-branch situations. But I do think most people don't mind those who are actually using the time, but rather dislike those who are just seeming to be assholes.
Yes, Alp2760 that is me exactly. I play a lot of decks that actually took creativity to come with and take actual skill to play.
If you want to play brainless decks that abuse broken mechanics that's your right. Just know that it's my right to take every alotted second of my turn to make life hard on you for making your decision. Doesnt bother me a bit since I can walk around and straighten my room up while giggling at the fact you are probably staring at the screen like an idiot grumbling.
You consider me toxic for doing that? I consider you toxic for playing easy-win netdecks. Open your mind a little to the actual reality.
some time ago i played a game against a resurrect priest. i was playing a rogue. i intentionally roped him from turn 1 till his hole deck was gone after about 40 minutes of gameplay and he lost lol. if you want to play a control deck you should be ready for the long game :D imagine playing 40 minutes just to lose kekw
I feel that if you netdeck something that is oppressive to all the players that actually wanted to compete with deck concepts they hoped that could work... But they don't... Because Blizzard did a poor job tuning the deck being popularly netdecked...
You deserve to be roped.
(Passive agressively you take the brunt Blizzard should. This is why bimonthly balance changes are needed)
Yup netdecking and getting lucky on top of it calls for it.
You're clearly one of the toxic players that can make not just this game but games in general feel miserable.

The problem is not him, dude, the problem is the fact good people usually do nothing meaningful to solve certain problems. If good people had the balls to do something important once in a while, instead of just complaining like crybabies most of the time, while waiting for a miracle or some sort of hero to save them, Hearthstone and the World itself would be a better place for everyone, but fortunately that is not the case, hehehehe. ;)
And what's the "meaningful" thing one could do in order to solve the problem of roughly 60 millions people netdecking 3/4 decks in any possible game mode, in your opinion sir, may I ask?

Late to the party, but there's zero problem with people netdecking in a competitive environment. When it comes to winning a game of Hearthstone - or any other game that can involve a strategy obtained from external sources - the winner is the person who defeats the other player, not the person who was running the most original deck. If the best deck for a metagame is one that plenty of people have identified and designed - that is, basically, a netdeck, though it should be stressed that plenty of people come up with the same strategy concurrently and without even looking online - but if it's the best deck, people should run it.
I'll stress that that's for competitive environments - which ranked mode in Hearthstone is. In a more casual setting (ie. a match with a friend) you can set your own guidelines as to what's appropriate or not.
If you're mad that one deck is appearing so much (and its appearance rate is justified by its strength), you should be mad at Blizz for making the card/s that go into that deck that make it so strong, rather than the players that have (probably correctly) identified it as a good deck to choose for the meta. It really is a case of don't hate the player, hate the game - because if they're netdecking the strongest deck in the meta, they're playing to win, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm pretty most professional players who are serious about winning would have zero qualms about getting an entire list online if they could be confident that list would see them to victory (and many good players that are starting to pilot a deck part way through an expansion may get a netdeck as a start, then tinker with tech options as they get more experience with it).
If you want to whinge that people playing in a competitive environment shouldn't use deck X, Y or Z because it's a netdeck (I imagine the underlying reason is actually because you find that specific netdeck unfun to play against, or something like that) - that's getting into scrub gamer territory (where one aspect of a scrub gamer is that they often complain about other players not following made-up rules that they follow - like no combos allowed, for example). "No net-decks" is fine, and some players will see it as a good challenge to reach legend with a homebrew. "No net-decks" and then complaining about other people who use them may well fall into scrub territory.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy. I don't disagree that playing trash and unoptimized decks takes ''skill''. It takes as much ''skill'' as racing with a NASCAR card with only two functioning tires. Is this really what bads tells themselves to feel better? DiS dEcK oF mInE, OTK Boulderfist Yeti, iS sO sUpEr AdVaNcEd ThAt No OnE eLsE gEtS iT. Sure, buddy, it is not you who is piloting trash decks who is at fault here, it is the blame of everyone else who pilot actually good decks. They are the skill-less, uncreative noobs, while you're a fucking HS prodigy, the king atop the trash mountain, looking down at optimized decks and laughing while playing Claw and going face! Thank you, now take you ''laughing stock of hearthpwn'' award and ''open your mind to a little to the actual reality.''. Gj highest rank 12 player, you sure taught us a lesson
I am amazed at the amount of people in here who deem "netdecking" as a rope-able offense. You people need lives.
If someone is not BM emoting you, and is playing their turn normally and not roping... but because you believe they are netdecking you rope them? Yeah. In that scenario, you are the asshole.
Be the hero of your own story, not the villain of someone elses'.
Honestly, I lowkey blame Trump(SC). I was watching his getting started in HS guides and he said "Don't be afraid to let the rope go down while you think of your next move" or something like that. It's really annoying when they make it obvious they're not afk either. Looking through their cards, not playing anything.
I'm amazed by all the ppl who dont think they deserve to be roped. Because they certainly do, in at least 15 games in a row everyday of their crummy lives.

the whole hearthstone timer is terrible, way too long (why do animations still take away time btw?)
'but we can't change the timer, because of all the precious mobile users'... ladida, is what they're gonna say. yeah, gfys
If a game doesent punish u for roping then i dont see why u wouldnt rope.
I sometimes rope idiots playing netdeck aggro face decks in casual.
I'm amazed by all the ppl who dont think they deserve to be roped. Because they certainly do, in at least 15 games in a row everyday of their crummy lives.
