I bothered with making 1 comment on reddit regarding this expansion. I said that team 5 has broken this game the same way they broke Demon Hunter last year. Just piles of OP shit all over the place. Of course I was downvoted to hell, just like I was when I called demon hunter before release.....well 20 nerfs later it turns out I was dead on about DH.
Now I will tell you that this expansion is completely broken. People are trying to call it combo, it is not a combo if it is 1 card and you start with it in your hand. They accelerated the pace of the game and built the set to so even the most braindead can lock the game by turn 4-5. So just stand back in awe and witness what unrestrained powercreep and appealing to the lowest denominator has created. Play your turbo boosted rock paper scissors and realize that this is what team 5 thought the public wanted.......the funny part is....they are likely right.
But don't try to fix it with nerfs, for every deck you knock down, another will pop up in it's place. I have never seen OP nonsense like this.
The dude is right and i don't understand why are you not agreeing with him?!
People here are probably the same ones defending Elon Musk and saying he's perfect
the dude does not even play the game anymore, he spends more time talking about the "rigged rng" or how broken every new expansion is, he SHOULD quit is what I said.
Oks, let's take him out of the equation and be honest about the state of the game.
Do you think it's still in a good and healthy state?
EDIT: i don't mean to say that it was perfect before, but this is insane :)
idk what you are hearing, i said he should quit, hes not enjoying it, go play mtg or something, idk why we need a advocate for a game with devs that dont care.
It's true, no nerfs or buffs will be enough to repair this shit. Previously they polished some shaman's shitty cards to pretend they're working on balance, now they can polish Kotick's... credit card. Balance is broken, that's it.
If priest's quest is current ideal of OTK deck in their mind, all current OTK decks should reach that level of weakness that quest priest has. No nerfs can do it, only adding 2-3 more stages to some OP quests, but it will require card redesign.
They should only give up, close constructed and rename game to "Hearthstone Battlegrounds".
Well, OP has described the ladder very accurately, and I haven't been touching it beyond the shitty 2500xp quests that force it. I've been playing Duels, Arena, and Battlegrounds, roughly in that order of frequency. Duels still has a lot of quest cancer, but it's nowhere near as bad as constructed.
So far doing duels and it's quite nice here. The 1 card limitation really hurts quests at the early game, and it's hard to pick the absolute best for their completion.
That said, even if (s)he is right about this getting out of hand, it's still true some balance should be done about it. Nerfing demon hunter eventually made it (at least somewhat) balanced, taking care of Auctioneer, some cards here and there and some quest conditions and/or rewards will definitively help this meta be healthier.
Plus note: We've been needing a taunt that works on spells since forever. How about we get to see one?
quick, bite sizes games that last less than 5 mins and are resolved in turn 5. Ideal for your mobile gamer on a train to work.
No more boring 20min games with stupid control or combo decks. Just hyper aggresive combo decks, hyper aggresive token decks, hyper aggresive aggro decks. Even the 'control' decks I'v encountered (draw DH, quest lock) were hyper aggresive
Shame on me for actually enjoying control or value games that go on for more than 5 turns.
It's so sad becaue I'm a 37 year old working dad who loved to play card games since I was in middle school and discovered MTG. I fell in love with yugioh in the early thousands and watched a game I love become so broken they had in bring a huge banned list. Why print the cards if they know they will be nerfed. This current set changed the game in a way that makes me wonder if I want to continue to invest my money. I still enjoy arena and getting into battlegrounds but I fell in love with the main game. The dev's dont care they just decide which way the game goes and that's final. Hell blizzard is already in enough shit as it is.... this current set is pushing the boundries of being broken and completely changing the game from its core that we all loved and played.
That why new designers need to be hired to replace the current ones, and at least try to change the base design of the game from stupid aggro to something more tactical and slow(er). Or at least make both coexist. This rock-paper-scissors "design" is bullshit.

Aggro beats combo, combo beats control, control beats aggro. This is how it’s always been, it’s not a design it’s by nature.
I’ve yet to have a game end before turn 8 so I don’t know what turn 4-5 nonsense you’re complaining about.
not to admit, that there is so much broken shit in this game, is just denial. maybe turn 4-5 is over the top, but turn 6 you're in danger and by turn 8 you're dead most of the time. you'll defend this, because you love this shitshow. all your posts show this, so why arguing with you anymore?

So what does that mean. You're quitting then?
I mean...he's not wrong...
please quit, I'm begging you.

I have stopped playing standard for now. Playing a bit of arena and waiting...

For the love of God go ducking quit the game
