New Years day, new season, new year, lets play some Hearthstone after breakfadst, with a nice hot cup of coffee!
We sit down, and cue up a game with our new deck creation, with tons of anticipation and joy to be playing the game we love.
You play a good, well thought out game, planning ahead and slowly working your opponent down to 4 health. Next turn, hes dead!!
Suddenly, the opponent discovers the perfect answer to dealing with our full board, and then proceeds to find healing, removal, and minion pressure from drawing 4 cards out of nowhere! Game over!
Okay, thats super rare and shouldnt happen again, right? Like all those cards doscoverefd werent even in the deck to begin with.Lets try another game.
1 hour later, we are now 0-3, have lost all 3 games to cruel RNG, and most importantly, we FEEL horribly salty. NOt wanting to ever put another dollar into this game, ever again!
That was my experience yesterday, @Bronze 10 no less, after getting to 5000 Legend the day before.
What hass happened to the wonderful game of Hearthstone? One of those 3 games was vs Priest too, and at 1 point, I looked up to see how many cards they had in hand, and of the 9 cards, 7 were from discovers and random effects! One of the other games was vs Mage, who discovered board clear after board clear, into double taunt/heal to gain 12 hlth and stabalize. Into Pyroblast for the win.
None of those cards that saved their games were in their decks the start of the game. The last game was more just normal HS RNg, where Bomb Warrior shuffled in 6 bombs, and I never drew 1 bomb, until I suddenly drew 5 in a row!!!!
That was the icing on the cake for me. LOL
I played Arena and Duels afterwards, cuz If I lost another game at Bronze 10, I would have gone crazy!
The FEELINGS are whar matter. Sitting down to enjoy a game, and getting a 1 sided beat down, where it felt like the dealer was bribed, and the gods hated us, isnt a great feeling or experience.
Its can onlt get more crazy right? How could Blizzard decide to go back ti the goods old days, where the biggest RNG was Yogg Saron. A handful of cards, not most of the card sets!!!
a guy points out problems with the game and wants to share his experience and you want to shut him down.
There is hundreds of threads like this already why create more? just use search and continue the discussion, salty thread is good example to share your lost games expierence

Because, the act of writing the post is an act of therapy, criticism of the game, and a call to others who feel the same way. Its completely obvious when you remove yourself, and your opinions from the equation. Like it matters how many times somebody wants to say something to you or the website. Do you know how small a post about the game takes up in space? Not much. Im sure they can delete shit thats older if they need room too.
If we went by you logic, there wouls only be 1 of each thing in the world. This site is a dumping ground for whatever random thought or idea people get about Hearthstone. Thats why the forums are there, literally!!
My experience this morning was waking up, looking at the 3 quests I accumulated over the past couple days and realizing I could knock out two at once by playing 3 games of Paladin.
Three games, three evolve shaman which forces me to say, "oh ya...that's why I don't play ladder" and then I move on.
OP kept using the word "we" and it made me uncomfortable. Are they part of some interconnected robots who all share the same experiences?
It was a nice read, but it definitely should go to the salt thread, right? That's the whole point of it, to share stuff like this. But if we're not specifically sharing salty stuff, we can just say what happened to us, randomly...
Oh, I got one!
So, I was playing some janky rogue deck I made against a res priest the other day. I had this genius plan to use Hecklebot to pull stuff out of decks, mostly for shaman, because their minions are generally low stated and easy targets. But let me tell you, it's not a good idea against priest.
I'll have you know, that Heckleboting out a priest's Catrina Muerte is probably the worst thing you can ever do on turn 4.
I mean, that one's really on me, I should have known better.

But hey, that's the... *looks directly at camera* ... experience of playing HS sometimes!
You can turn this into a radio show!
I don't think any kind of complaint is necessarily salt-thread material. In my opinion, there's a difference between "don't you think there's too much randomness in this game?" and "this game sucks and the developers suck and you all suck for playing it!!1111onononeeleven". The salt-thread is a smelly dumpster, reserved for the stuff that really stinks of overboiling frustration.
And for the record: I agree, there is too much randomness, and I also can't imagine that it would get toned down again. The randomness has a lot of fans, and Team 5 seems to agree that it should be the core identity of the game, that matches should be entirely unpredictable, to the point that unpredictability has become the primary class identity of Mage, and to a lesser extent Priest and Rogue. Seems like they ant that.
Sidenote: I find it generally awkward as well, when someone is speaking in a plural form. Especially, when it's used in sociocultural topics, where someone wants to explain how "we" as human beings think and act etc., suggesting a homogeneity and simplicity that doesn't exist. I oftentimes don't find myself in that "we", and then it feels like some wants to mask their personal believes as greater truths.
Maybe I'm not human.

The evolve shaman is so boring to play against, honestly i rather play against the unerfed demonhunter with 5 mana skull of guldan then this crap.

Anyway, 20 Catrina Muertes later, I lost the game.
