Eboladin after Eboladin

FUCK I HATE RNG SO MUCH

Seriously, dropped 2 ranks because I kept running into aggro as handlock.  Switch to anti-aggro class and queue up against 2 control warriors in a row.  I know it's all random chance, but it sure fucking feels like shit.

Here I am, back after a 2 week break, only logging in to play against friends using iPad. But once I start ranking, damn, face hunter here, eboladin there, zoo under here. WTF

Queued up against Paladin. You know the screen where he goes, "I fight with honor". I'm thinking to myself, "my ass you fight with honor, you fight with icky maggot apple on head crap".

I'm playing Control/Echo Mage, and I had a pretty bad draw, going second. Turn 1 pass. Turn 2 he plays a Knife Juggler. Now, I have the choice to play Mad Scientist (which I just drew) or ping. I'm like...well either way it's bad so Mad Scientist whatever. Guy plays Muster for Battle, kills my Mad Scientist (from which I get Ice Barrier) and proceeds to abuse my face. Well, I look at my hand, and it's either ping the Knife Juggler/a guy or play Arcane Intellect. I opt to ping the Knife Juggler. Next turn, with 4 mana, he drops Knife Juggler + Leper Gnome + Southsea Deckhand.

My health is dropping like a stone and I'm barely holding on cuz of Ice Barrier. Now, I can either Coin out a Sludge Belcher or ping the Knife Juggler. Since I intended to coin Blizzard the next turn I opted to ping.

Knife Juggler down? No problem, replace it with a Shielded Minibot and then proceed to Divine Favor into 8 cards. Yes...8. Well, I coin out Blizzard, wiping his board and dropping to 5 health. Thinking of all the possible combination of cards with which he can kill me.

Truesilver Champion + Southsea Deckhand

Southsea Deckhand + Blessing of Might

Southsea Deckhand + Consecration + Light's Justice (from Muster for Battle)

Southsea Deckhand + Abusive Sergeant + Light's Justice (from Muster for Battle)

Southsea Deckhand + Blessing of Kings

Wolfrider + Blessing of Might

Wolfrider + Blessing of Kings

Wolfrider + Abusive Sergeant

Wolfrider + Truesilver Champion

Arcane Golem + Truesilver Champion

Arcane Golem + Light's Justice (from Muster for Battle)

Arcane Golem + Blessing of Might

Arcane Golem + Blessing of Kings

Arcane Golem + Abusive Sergeant

Well, I probably missed a couple in that list above. I wasn't quite lucky enough to dodge all this and Antique Healbot up and died to the last one. This long list of kills is probably why aggro decks are the bane of > 75% of Hearthstoners.

It's amazing that aggro paladin was an EXTREMELY rare thing about 2 months ago and all of a sudden has risen in popularity.

same story with face hunt. face aggro has always had the flavor of the week syndrome. 

Great Paladin deck, average 67.1 tier score on HearthArena.  2 Truesilvers, 2 Argent Protectors, 2 Consecrates, an equality, high quality minions.  This will be a 7-9 win deck, I thought, given my skill level.  Then I lose to the worst players - a rogue who would rather eat my 1/1 silver hand recruit with his 5/3 instead of attacking my face, and a paladin who attacked every single turn with his 4/3 guy that I played Blessing of Wisdom on.  Both games I lose because I wasn't able to draw into my "big tempo" cards.  End 5-3.  That run left me in an bad mood this entire night.

if it stops a potential blessing of king from killing me, i would gladly smash that 1/1 with a 5/3..... 

He was at full health.

I think I am the single most unluckiest person in Hearthstone. I can give video proof if required. I've played about 50 games of arena today and my god, am I unlucky. Fucking hell.

If you let someone you think is a way worse player outtempo you, then you must be pretty terribad. He was probably right in attacking your 1/1 there because after all he won and you lost.

So many fucking rush Paladins. You know the fucking type. They rope their entire turn just to make obvious plays and they spam emotes the entire time. I matched up against one today with my grinder mage deck. I got taken down to 11 health before finally stablizing with Illuminator and a duplicated Sludgebelcher. Then I put him to one health and healed myself for the rest of the game while roping every turn. I had a lot of fun freezing and pinging my own minions. For the final BM before I let him die to fatigue, I killed my divine shielded Nefarian with Rendblackhand. Never before has a 45 minute match been so salty and rewarding at the same time :D

I'm so fucking sick of Blizzard and their greedy business model and not giving a shit about free to play players. Not only we have to play against with fucking bots every other game, but to further insult their free to play players they're giving a middle finger by not giving a free pack and fucking up the quest system. Oh and I almost forgot, they rewarded those fucking players that haven't played the game this month before the patch with the bloody fucking chest. Fuck this company. Since they joined Activision those guys only care about money. Fucking money grubbing assholes. I was planning to come to WoW for the new expansion but there's no way in hell im doing that now. Blizzard is just another Supercell who dont give a shit  about their game as long as they're making money. In couple of years this game will be laden with bots. Oh wait, it's already happening.

This....totally fair...... They stopped at 24 attack.

Atleast you survived.

No I didn't. The damage was still calculating when I screen capped. They stopped at 24 attack on each one.

What ranks are you guys at? I feel like dropping down to there just to play aggro decks.

Quote from WhatAChamp jump

FOURTH bloody time I was one win away from rank 5 and lost it. I just want the stupid chest. Holy crap! Freakin' hunters pulling all the cards they need at the right time

Haha you have to get to legend now to get the full rewards.
