this combo priest is extremely unreliable. you may remember the day you lost to it, but they will also remember only those few matches that they pull it off.

Agree, lost 6 times in a row trying to put this combo together. Was so frustrated that I deleted the priest deck (I don't do this normally). Made a comeback to rank 16 with a weirdo warlock deck tho. I like Hellfireing Murlocs and facetards. They still go face though SMOrc.

how does t5 fore reaper has anything to do with stoping huntards? and why he would concede? foe reaper is absolutely no threat to hunter nor defense to you

This game is completely invalidated by its bullshit RNG. Lost a match because my opponent top decked and drew RAg who sniped past 5 minions . This game is strictly a no skill time sink.

The salt is real......

Facing cancer on my hand lock, i mulligan 2x moltens and a sunfury but no removal or coin.

He has me to 7hp by the end of his turn 4 as im drawing into all my high cost minions, but giants to the rescue right??

Double molten, taunt them both up with SF for board clear coming next turn, and think ok i could maybe turn this around.

JK double owl silence on my taunts, dead.........

Granted that shit is just mega unlucky, but never the less the salt is real!

Last month, my peak was rank 3.

So far this month, I've been able to get to rank 8.

I'm currently at rank 12.

I don't understand how this is possible. And I'm absolutely losing my mind.

he needed board presence and my foe reaper cleared him out,  took me out of range of lethal. it was a clutch UP is all im saying

Since when huntard needs board presence? Of course it does not harm but its not their wining condition, they do instant damage theyu dont care if their minions survive and most often they dont

So this just happened:

Turn 9.  I have Sylvanas Windrunner and Sludge Belcher. My opponent has empty board with Death's Bite on last charge left & procced Emperor Thaurissan once earlier.

-> Warsong Commander + Frothing Berserker x 2 + Armorsmith + Cruel Taskmaster + Inner Rage + last Death's Bite charge + Whirlwind = 46 damage

I almost shit my pants......except he ran out of time and couldn't queue any attacks. I'm so glad Blizzard managed to introduce APM as part of a skill set in a card game.

BTW if I had nothing on my side of the board he would've had 39 damage. Playing a minion was clearly a misplay & I should've stolen his hero power with Sideshow Spelleater to armor up to 40 health. Not broken at all.

as the title says, this expansion cannot come quickly enough, i am so sick and tired of facing off against the absolute retarded face damage decks known to man 99.9% of games, i am praying to every god under the sun that this expansion causes a sufficient enough slow down in the game that it nullifies rush decks to a greater degree that they fade out for at least a while, because as it stands, if you aren't playing one you are doing it wrong, and even when you do hit legend rank, you are still facing variations on a theme where people are customising them since legend rank is irrelevant unless pushing for top 100 etc, so you can happily play around with cards and experiment, but yeah, just wanted to vent more than anything, so fed up with these decks that you have almost no way to counter unless you play the mirror and have a godlike starting hand -_-

Ya gotta realize that at higher ranks, even in the teens, the competition and decks are similar and simply tough.  The RNG has more bearing on things, IMO.  The fact that you got as high as you did is pretty solid.  Just saying.

Can we stop complaining about Hunters and their "kill" shots when its clear that the stupid Mages are the worst offenders for this? 12 face damage for 8 lousy total mana?  Talk about a nerf being needed.  

Lame.  Very lame.

I am so sick to death of complete incompetence. I try. And I try. And I try. And I'm still at rank 5. Maybe rank 4 for one moment. Gain a star. Lose a star. As anyone will tell you, anyone who gets stuck at that rank is a hopelessly incompetent piece of shit. So I watch streams. And I can't. Because I'm not good enough. So I switch decks. And I can't. Because I'm not good enough. And I hope to practice and pay attention to trends and I can't. Because I'm not good enough. And I always keep an eye on AOE and think of what decisions have to be made to be good enough and I can't, because I don't have it in me, because incompetence is forever. It doesn't matter how long you try, not good enough equals not good enough. You. Can't. Because you're clearly either gifted the God-given ability to play Hearthstone or not. Because it's certainly not something you can learn. Legend rank is impossible for the hopeless. So is even rank fucking four. I regret all the hours I've plugged into this game and wasted away trying for one simple goal everyone who's good enough can achieve. I'm so sick to death of my own foolish ineptitude getting in the way. So fucking fed up with can't.

I agree, that rank 25-5 and 5-Legend are two completely different games you play. While you have at low ranks a lot of aggression (all the complaints about facetards, eboladin etc. ) at the higher end the decks are much more controlly AND the players make way fewer mistakes.

The key (in my opinion) is not to get the losses to you. If you have a 51% winrate after rank 5 you are better then the average rank 5-1 player and will make it to legend (given a lot of time). That also means, that you can and will lose a lot of games. Even the "best" players probably dont go far above 60% in this part of the ladder.

So my advice would be: You should have 2-3 consistent Decks you are comfortable with and go mainly with one and only switch if you are countered several times in a row. My setup for this is:

- Control Warrior

- Midrange Hunter

I main in Control Warrior, so it is by far my best deck and it is strong against the field. Now if i run into a lot of Combo Druids, which is probably my weakest matchup, I switch to Midrange Hunter for a few games and deal with it. This way you will slowly grind your way to Legend, if you make as few mistakes as possible.

Everyone will make mistakes (yes, your opponents too). The key is consistency.

The key is not hopeless incompetence.

I get the salt, but 10 damages for 6 mana is a LOT worse than 12 damages for 8 mana. Especially in a class with a hero power aimend at dealing 2 damage only to the other player's face.

In the end: it's a card game. They either have the two fireballs, or the two skill comands; or they don't.

hunter is the same.... 5+5+2.... for 8
Argument fail :,(

All true but you at least DO need to have a Beast out there to get the full effect.  The fireballs are just there.  No matter what.  No conditions needed.

Man the rope is garbage design. I Just played against a patron, he was roping for probably one entire minute and still queing actions. 
Frothing and patron triggered probably 20-30 times on his turn. There's no way I could ever do that when I play, it doesn't run fast enough.

Hearthstone: The CARD GAME where you have an advantage the faster your computer and internet runs. Idiots. Fire these morons already they suck at every aspect of thei job. Anything you task them with, they will screw up.

Pro secret - While your animations are running you can queue up further actions. 

Yeah, as patron you can queue up a lot of the actions before the animations are done. I usually know if I have lethal 10-15 seconds before the rope ends and have already set everything up.

all i know is that i dropped it he went face. i cleared his board. he played half his next turn, paused, realized i would end up with lethal first, and then conceded. it was the unlikely RNG save for the unlikely RNG perfect draw. thats what made it so interesting/ amazing lol.

RNG coin flips to the death.. WOOOOOOO! Hearthstone! 

Quote from Zwel1uS jump

so you say that you don't have luck ? I was just in arena 11-1 with warrior, that would be my first 12 wins in arena, and gues what, after loosing from a priest, my last battle was vs a mage who get Harrison frop UP and destroy may win axe, then after clearing the board and was wining next turn, he was one short of leatel and topdecket 4/2 charge with divine shild for the fucking win. And I swear that from now on I hate every one mage, and I will diss all my maga cards after TGT comes 

dang thats pretty bad. i think you win the unluckest award. 

the worst part is mage is about to get even more random and annoying thanks to effy and boarmorph.
