I play ranked today, with control warrior, and it was a breeze from 16-13. (sorry not that high this season, school is killing me) most opponents were weird, and i dont even know what to call that archetype.
but then i decide to practice dragonhandlock in casual, cuz i dont have some handlock stuff, so i switched them with dragons. and then all i face are eboladins and face hunters with god draws. what the actual fuck?
gonna go ranked again. ;/
I realized long ago you should play even your worst decks in ranked (especially true now, when you don't lose your rank 5 reward even if you drop down), it gives you wins towards the golden heroes at least...
3-2 in arena , get matched with legend pally with Tirion, Aldor,Blessing of Kings, Yeti and other solid minions and every answer he needed.
This happens a lot lately - when I get 2 early losses somehow I get matched with insane decks instead against crappy deck like mine.
The salt is real.
And again today at 2-2 with warlock (no darkbombs, no imp gang bosses cause thats my shitty luck in drafting) I play against druid who turn3 innervates into Nourish , ramps up, then proceeds to dump Silver Hand Knight, Nexus Champion Saraad, Boulderfist Ogre and of course he has Swipe to remove my taunt an kill me, while BMing his ass off...
The salt gets UNreal.

Face hunters and mech/tempo mages, please see my avatar.
Infuriating is the only word to describe how badly chance screwed me today.
That's the drawback of playing an RNG based Deck like Tempo Mage. You win with a huge lead or you just loose straight away.
Uhm, most decks rely on drawing cards. In fact, I think all of them do.
Then there was the match where I was up against another mage who got Mysterious Challenger from his/her Unstable Portal. But this is the vent thread and I have vented.
Your only "card draw" RNG was the secrets one. Other two mentions were pure RNG effects wich happens so many times with that retard kind of mage. Spellslinger and Unstable Portal are RNG incarnate, so TheFelix's quote is correct.
I wish luck was not such a big factor in this game... 90% luck and 10% skill and I'm probably being generous
Thats true. Its so fucking irritating when you cant draw a card and just cant do anything on your turn besides wait and watch your oponent do what they please. Its so god damned fucking annoying. Why cant we have access to more of our fucking decks? Would it kill them to let us start with like 6-7 cards and draw two or turn? Or something?
I just hope someone else comes with a card game that gets rid of some of the fucking draw bull shit. You just sit there and have to take it and there isnt a fucking thing you can do about it. So pissed I spent money on this game. If I would have known then how random and arbitrary it is Id have just played basic free decks. Same chances to win and less anger-inducing when you lose the dice roll. Fuck this.
I hate playing aggro face decks, but I did it in Asia region since I needed to win 5 games as a warrior and barely have anything better than a basic Warrior deck. Gotta say, beating a golden patron warrior (and 2 other patron warriors and 2 face hunters) with a face hunting aggro warrior was a great, great feeling.
Is there no more variety in the game anymore? I feel like we need another game mode that promotes using a different deck every game. It's not fun playing the same decks every match (and losing because you know, reasons).
My Hearthstone tank is on empty and pretty sure I'd rather run out of gas than fill up and continue on the journey.

Draw is the entire point of card games.
The problem with hearthstone is tempo. Tempo is STUPIDLY good. That's why if you draw poorly, you auto-lose most of the time. Especially in arena, the most minute RNG tempo swing in the early turns can just decide the winner. That's beyond frustrating.
It's also why it's not that easy to play tempo or face decks. Miss just one early turn with those decks and you're usually out of the game. Hero power turn 2 with tempo mage? You probably lost. It's that simple and that fast. Not particularly compelling game design.
I think that's why most people will admit that watching hearthstone is more fun than playing it. That may be true for a lot of games though. Certainly I spend more time watching people play this than I do playing myself, it's just repetitive and stupid to constantly lose to topdecks when you're winning because you just can't block any damage. Dumb.
For reals though, Why am I running into tier decks at rank 19? Not only have i dropped 4 ranks in the last two days, but even at low as fuck ranks, theres cunts with decks full of Dr. Balanced, Dr. 6. All the bullshit, which I have also, and I get that there are retards who stay at low ranks to take advantage of new players, but theres literally no new players there, its just all these cunts. And I just don't understand the point of a ranked system where there aren't really any friggin ranks at all, its just a number with the same cunts playing the same decks all the fucking time. Fuck you Paladins, and fuck seeing Dr. Balanced at rank friggin 19.

Um it's normal though, for some new control players with Dr Boom and co. stuck on the lower ranks as they are learning their decks. I understand your frustration because I only recently reached 17 only after I was forced to use handlock. Maybe experience should be considered in the ranking system?

Once you get below rank 20 it is all holds barred.
1. Some people who used to play a lot don't anymore and only log in to do dailies.
2. Golden portrait farmers: I don't understand them, since they should be experienced players who can earn golden portraits by just playing normally, but nevertheless they like to rank down so they can farm the 20's.
3. The game has been out for a long time. Even the shittiest of players have a decent collection. I started a F2P account on the EU server to pass the time during lunch breaks and I have Golden Dr. Boom, Full Naxx, Most of BRM and a full Patron Warrior deck.

Exactly! That's why casino mage is acceptable for ladder, despite the wild RNG. It has the "win quickly or lose quickly" aspect.

The funny with about Secret Paladin is, even if I lose, I still think the player behind the deck is a joke.

Ugh... So many noobs on the ladder. Even at Rank 5 my Secretdin is mopping the floor with every single opponent.
Seriously guys, it's not that difficult. Please make it more challenging.
Hearthstone should get renamed to Easystone at this rate. At least provide some challenge for my legend climb, please.
