Probably worth pointing out here that your comment (that I responded to) was about what a person's reaction to finding out the game was "rigged" should or shouldn't be (in your opinion), and not whether the game is actually rigged or not (a separate issue).
And therefore, my own comment was in response to your supposition, making note of the fact that just because something is rigged (if it was), doesn't stop a person from engaging with it, because (just like any addiction), the human brain will always choose to fool itself into thinking that it's probably NOT rigged, and therefore "this time will be different"...
3nn1: surely you’ve quit playing the game a long time ago once you discovered that the game was “rigged” right?
If that were true and something that actually happened to people, we would see a lot less people financially and emotionallydestroyed by gambling addiction (among other addictions, etc). Sadly though, it's human nature to keep going with something in the vain hope that "this time will be different". It's the same with Hearthstone in a weird sort of way. You know the game is stacked against you, but it's ok because "this time will be different".... :-/
You are all getting trolled , someone makes a post gets everything rolling and never responds again. His photo says enough really
I don't think getting to have an interesting and fun conversation about something is "getting trolled". Especially if the discussion is enjoyable, which is has been so far. If trolling was the intention of the OP, then essentially, they played themselves. Heh!
“If ever one card can single-handedly win a game and therefore is broken as -expletive-, then it's that one.” Denathtrius?
I never said there had to be one. :-P
Although personally, I find Denathrius to be much less of a problem for me, since I can usually play around him fairly easily for the most part (unless he's buffed up to 40+, in which case that's my fault for allowing it to happen). Of course, combining him with Brann is a big problem, but I maintain that Brann is the problem with that, rather than Denathrius
Tech-cards are not meant to be all-powerful, otherwise they would become simple auto-includes in every deck. They are designed for a sole purpose and are specifically useful for that very purpose. I would actually like to see a tech card that can destroy Dormant minions (mostly because I am becoming sick of Pirate Warrior and Wild Seed Hunters at the moment. But that's just personal preference.
The whole point of Tech Cards is that they shouldn't be more powerful than they are. They serve a purpose, and you weigh the cost of that purpose's value against the space to include it in your deck and the chance it has less value against decks that they have no purpose for.
As for Theotar, well - again, in my opinion - the "nerf" to 5 mana was just pointless. It didn't really affect the card's power in the slightest and is still just as toxic and oppressive as it was previously. If ever one card can single-handedly win a game and therefore is broken as -expletive-, then it's that one. /opinion - yours may vary
