I have literally not played a game in the last year where I am not literally screaming in rage in my apartment at the fucking bullshit RNG that happens. Beast hunter opponent gets a Revive Pet into King Krush for perfect lethal. Big mage opponent top decks Mordesh to burst me down 10 for perfect lethal after freezing my board for five turns in a row. Both my naga wigs being in the bottom of my deck with my tutor cards never offering or pulling them. I fucking hate this game and each match makes it so much more.

Recommendation ? STAY WELL AWAY !!!!

Gonna stop feeding this sick system with my money. Sure, some cosmetics are nice but paying for cards is a total waste. Either you play your own off-meta deck, a meta deck or the "skillful" arena, your winrate will be controlled by the system to not be too high. You find yourself winning? You can see the game doing its best to prevent you from winning any more. 

BG is absolutely ruined at the moment by legendary quests. Don't have a gamebreaking combo by turn 7? Might as well quit. 

Make two dozen different in-game currencies so that people couldn't keep track of what they actually spent and work out the statistics of how much it actually costs to get the stuff you want in the game, *coughimmortal*.

Oh! Also I'd start a different company that would specialise in selling anti-RNG tinfoil hats.

Match everyone with their counter decks because when everyone has a high loss rate, that motivates to buy more packs. Even those with full collections.

PS: I wonder how long this will be a conversation before the patent is mentioned and it gets locked like the rest of these threads.

The only times my opponent's Theotar hasn't hit my Denathrius all morning is when I don't have it in hand. Constantly losing otherwise unlosable games to opponents hitting 33-50% chances, making all other decisions irrelevant throughout the game. Utter horseshit.

Leaving Big Priest as it is in Wild is honestly just beyond my understanding. People have complained about the theme of the deck forever and it's had continued support. There is no fun for the opposing deck and it's the majority of my games even in casual mode now because of how easy it is to pilot and the absurd power of it.

Quote from LordCheesus >>

It's a predatory system, plain and simple. It's a system meant to trick you into buying more and more gems/tokens or what ever you want to call runestones. So in that sense it is a form of stealing. It's just not illegal because as you pointed out, it is in fact a choice to buy or not buy. But it doesn't mean it isn't wrong. 

It's dirty and it really is a form of stealing. It's just only legal because of lazy and greedy courts that allow these kind of loopholes to exist. 

There'll always be the gullible and desperate who'll be into buying what ever is put in front of them, that's just not me. If more players thought with their brains then they'd realize how terrible this system is and how it's designed to drain your accounts as quick as possible. 

And it's no coincidence that Blizzard is implementing this system board wide across all games. It's disgusting. 

Yes. I agree, I also want to add another issue, the surplus.  

Blizzard somehow justified the introduction of the Runestones with this sentence: "With Runestones we’ll be able to offer additional smaller-scale items, such as the individual Battlegrounds Hero Skins offered in the shop with this patch."

This is anyway an obviously crap excuse, because if they wanted to sell small scale items they were simply able to sell them in game, so easy. What instead you will end up with a currency in the middle is to stack surplus that you are not able to use it. So, it is even more scummy and sneaky.  Anyway, nothing surprise me from Blizzard any more, I know that they are a bad company (they are not making a great game since years, and they want to only monetize their mediocrity; without talking about their scandals and all the crappy things). I enjoy just reading their stuff to see the mess they make. Blizzard is hilarious. 

The greed is unreal. When I started playing 6 years ago it was only gold it was fine. You could earn an adventure eventually or buy it and that was fine. You would have a complete collection with an investment of a few bucks of saving up gold.

Today you can buy EVERYTHING. Not only that you can but you have to, just to be competitive and relevant in any game mode. New players have to invest money equal to 4 other perfect games just to get you going. 

I bought the last 4 expansion bundles because I still liked the game and it's the only game I play kinda. But when is it enough? How many hero skins can you try to sell? We have 20+ skins for each hero, countless skins in BGs, mercenaries, etc.

The game is NOT developing. It's the same as it was 6 years ago. You only added some cards, effects, and a few new animations. That's it!

And that is not worth increasing the game price by 2000%. The only thing that did change is that Blizzard now needs more money than ever before. This is not game development. It is purely selling pixels that have no effect whatsoever.
