Hearthpwn

i got 3 white eyes playing priest, but no big deal because so did my opponent when he was able to not only do the "give deathrattle: return minion to hand" spell on his own, but also his kalimos and ragnaros.

fuck me. 

When the retarded Quest Rogue with this legendary  cardback Needs to think for 1 min every turn but still loses.

Really Shows that you Need no skill at all to hit legend.

Could i stop getting fucking Patches in my starting Hand every game ffs??

I will remember this expansion for having the most broken deck in a long time: crystal rogue; the most boring deck in a long time: quest warrior; and for the stale rotten stench of pirate warrior: overstaying its welcome for yet another season and revealing the absolute patheticness of people playing it to get "high rank" at the same time thousands of people put Pirate Warrior on bot and come back to collect their rank 1 legend a few days later.

What a suckful ladder experience - grind a broken ladder deck or get rofflestomped by the millions of netdeckers playing their broken cancer. Meanwhile Blizzard apologists defend this shit, because they've climbed okay grinding murlocadin or pirate or midrange hunter. I just feel sorry for people who think the meta is good because they have the sort of psyche that they get satisfaction grinding a top tier netdeck. Yawn. Vomit. 

Murloc paladins are all over the 4th rank. Jesus!

People who constantly cry about the meta sucking. Here's something I learned way back in the day playing Magic the Gathering back during lorwyn and alara blocks. People who think the standard meta game or the wild meta game or the arena meta game are garbage, will never not have that opinion. No matter what concessions blizzard made short of just bumping every player with that opinion directly into legend, they will still have that opinion. My legitimate question is what the hell do you guys want exactly from blizzard? Like ok let's pretend blizzard released twice as many cards to accommodate a demand for a more diverse meta. They could do this, but not without first pushing the issue of the game being play to win. If you have to get more cards, you're gonna be spending a lot more in game or out game currency to stay current with the large and diverse meta. Even a game like Yugioh which tries to keep every set in the game at all times, has to make changes to the rules or ban lists to keep the game from getting pay to win. The overall point I am trying to make is that the meta is more or less fucking fine, needs a little bit of fine tuning, but if you are not happy with a limited number of decks in the meta game I really can't convince you that this is a good thing. Like it's hard enough trying to build a deck that does well vs control and aggro, and can trade with midrange and still win consistently, if I had to take into consideration 12 more decks i might have to counter along the way, that would be complete anarchy and drive me insane. I am pretty sure you meta haters just dislike it because you feel like you should be ranked higher and it's the metas fault your not. Chances are though if the meta were more diverse you complainers would be ranked even lower. Like you're having trouble with a meta that is pretty much aggro and anti aggro, with like one good control deck in the mix. How do you think you plebs would fair if that list was expanded to involve 37 decks spanning several different archetypes and involving alternative win conditions? Yeah you'd be lost for days trying to find your own dicks. Just saying get off your high horse and play the game. 

fuck mages and there fucking random spells and fucking iceblocks 

/RANT off

I hate how dull this game has become, same 4 boring decks over and over. Oh a quest rogue, look here a murloc paladin, oh and a quest warrior, wait what's this, an aggro druid? wow. Worst thing is, all these decks always run 95% identical lists. It feels like you are playing against the same 4 people over and over. Any decks that tries to be innovative gets completely shut down by these Tier-1 decks due to polarization of the games card design and the only real place you will ever find innovative decks are at legend rank because laddering with sub-tier 1 decks is neigh impossible. 

All these unnecessary nerfs (specifically, Ironbeak Owl, Keeper of the Grove Molten Giant, Execute, Blade Flurry, Leper Gnome, Knife Juggler, Arcane Golem, Abusive Sergeant, Azure Drake,Ancient of Lore) have completely killed all variation and options in the meta games. Everything has become overly polarized and the situation for F2P (I'm P2P but I understand what's going on) has never been this awful before. 

Bring back the variation we had back in 2015, we had everything from classic leper gnome aggro to ultra grindy mages and priest decks. It was a perfect world and was honestly one of the most F2P friendly times we've ever had (Mechs were such a great tribe for this).

I asked one of my friends on hearthstone to play a game for fun. Just to take a break from the meta and have some fun.

He played aggro mage where all spells went face, and the next game he played quest rogue.

Yeah... Fuck off "friend".

Just played against SilverName. Don't know if it was him, but he played Quest rogue. "Pro" player my ass.

Mage vs mage. I'm having a really good hand. And play mana wyrm + coin mana wyrm. The opponent plays 2 x arcane missiles. Where all 6 missiles hit the minions.  

still won that game though:)

I am so sick of people using the phrase fucking "MetaGAme" and not really understanding what the fuck they are talking about so I am just gonna go ahead and educate any moron who comes across this post and happens to read it. The word meta comes from greek, and means to change. is in the word metamorphosis or meta data. So what metagame means is the way in which the game changes either from rank to rank or week to week. So to put this in perspective the meta game of hearthstone is roughly a breakdown of what decks are being played and which decks they do well against and which decks they struggle against. So the meta game for last week and this week is pretty priest heavy, and probably will eb for awhile, but before that it was taunt warrior and control priest heavy, and before that it was quest heavy across the entirety of the fucking game. So when you are saying the words "Blizzard fucked up the metagame", no no they fucking didnt you pleb, the way people are playing the game that blizzard gave us is ruining the meta. They presented us the options and a large group of us decided to hunker down in our deck archetype camps and complain about all the other camps. Stop using the word meta game like it means something profound or nebulous. It's not impressing anyone besides the endless groups of sheep that also think and bleet like you. For all of you using the word right. Disregard this rant. 

That will be all. 

lol wow nice catch, I always mix up my greek and latin prefixes. rest of my point remains valid. Thanks for catching that for me though that would have been embarrassing. 

see now that I disagree with, because metaphysics also refers to the concept of changing physics, its just as you put it, a little more flowery in meaning with modern interpretation. I don't personally find your analysis correct as I am assuming you find mine flawed as well. So I think we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

i was playing a deck that doesn't run AOE.  so there wasnt really anything i could do.  i was just frustrated that he won with a topdeck (yet again). 

edit: played the exact same decks i hit rank 5 with last month.  they havent won shit.  so before you go running your mouth about how i need to stick to one deck so i can learn it and learn how to mulligan with it, fucking think for one second that i might have a fucking clue what im doing.   

and its not like im playing a deck for 2 games, losing, and then flooding the salt thread.  im playing 10 games minimum and evaluating.  if it's too wonky or reliant on good draws, i ditch it.  if it simply not good, i ditch it.  everything - LITERALLY EVERYTHING - i've attempted to play this month has been a massive failure.  

did you not read the part where ive hit 5 many times before, and hit 3 last month?  its not like i just picked up the game yesterday. 

also for the MILLLIONTH GODAMNED TIME this is not the thread where im asking for advice seriously.  this is the salt thread.  LET ME FUCKING VENT FOR FUCKS SAKE.  

 

goddamn people. 

Inverse Rant ...

So I'm playing my Midrange Paladin.  For all the bitching about Midrange paladin, my deck is nothing like the murloc paladin that's out there.  For one, there's only two murlocs in it - 2xHydrologist.  It's a Silverhand-based deck instead, and I love playing it.  I run 2xBlessing of Wisdom, that's all you need to know.  Anyway, it's REALLY good against aggro and Quest Rogue.  

So I'm playing vs Pirate Warrior.  Ok, I should win this statistically.  The guy gets good early draw but doesn't get axe until around turn 5.  I had bad early draw but recovered quickly.  Basically, the game went almost exactly to script for Pirate Warrior vs. Midrange Paladin.  He took early lead, I gradually cleared his board while healing up, he stalled out on draw, and I took control, he conceded. 

I got the invite before the concede animation could even play so I knew I had won.  Now, I dunno bout ya'll, but people have been very nice so far in Un'goro.  I haven't had a single irate high school student use some kind of racial or homophobic slur against me.  

Until now!  Guy said, and I'm paraphrasing using much nicer language: "My goodness, but you have uncommonly good fortune for such an uncouth little whelp!"

Or: "nice f*cking b*llshit lucky sh*t draw you f*cking little c*ntwhore"

Huh?  It's not like I topdecked into my only win condition.  He lost a game that, statistically, he should lose most of the time.

Anyway.  I felt kinda bad for him.  I was even going to just say sure, it was luck, to defuse him a little, but of course he unfriended me before I could even type "yep."

Another big tough man on-line, talking shit to strangers and running away to cry.  Poor kid.  If he can't take that shot, he's gonna get chewed up by the real world.

But kudos to everybody for being mostly pretty cool in the last month.  Seriously, I've made so many new friends in the game, people just seem much more chill.  This is the first temper tantrum I've seen in six weeks.

Well the title of the thread has the word Therapy in it, which usually implies one is looking for help/advice.  If you just want to vent, open a word doc and type there.  Same thing if you have no interest in other's opinions :)
