Hearthpwn

This card has a decent body and a somewhat useful effect in this meta...the thing is that I can't think of a deck where you can afford a tech card like this except tempo but tempo is far from meta.

I'm assuming this card will see more play in following expansions.

Where is the old Hearthpwn card rating poll for new cards? I enjoyed looking at the results.

 Where is the playability poll for this card? Anyone know just how good Brightwing is?

A.F.Kays Hero Power is special. It reads "Skip your first 2 turns. Start with a minion from Tavern Tier 3 and 4." Her hero power was nerfed, both minions are from tier 3.

There are around 100 million Hearthstone players.

The Hearthpwn community makes up about .00001% of them.

I'm sorry that some of you feel this expansion "sucks", "is too powerful", etc.  My experience is that I am having a hell of a good time trying Dragonbane hunter, Shu'ma quest hunter, Galkrond shaman, Galakrond rogue, pirate warrior, treeant druid, and a few others.  This meta is just a few days old.  This bitching and moaning about things happens after every expansion comes out.  The early powerhouses will subside as decks are refined.  Keep calm, play on, and most importantly have fun.  It's a game.  If you aren't having fun, take a step back from it.

 You are aware of the nerf announcement, are you? Maybe, just maybe, sometimes the bitching is justified. I rarely bitch (last two times were sn1p sn4p and shudder), but to be honest experimentation was NEVER as little fun as in this expansion. 

I am, and that's fine.  Some tweaks here and there are probably needed.  This doom and gloom shit, however, is tired.  The game is fine.  The developers make mistakes sometimes.  It happens.  It doesn't mean the sky is falling.  Your experience with experimentation being stifled is subjective, just like mine of enjoying things right now is subjective.  My point is that out of 100 million players, the infintesimaly small amount of them represented here is not an accurate representation of the player base, and by and large it seems players are happy.  Check out Reddit and other avenues for HS discussion to see what I mean.  Hearthpwn is a unique community in that, overall, we are fairly whiney.

 I agree with most of your points and they are well expressed. this community is sometimes having a hard time to get the complaints right. If most of the players are happy, that is also fine. Still, I feel lile expressing frustations is good feedback. 

Personally, I had a shitty experience. Build 12 decks and ran into 25 / 30 shamans (7 in a row) and I went back to battlegrounds, because it was just not much fun tbh. Hope I have another shot next week.

 All this^
I'm doing my best to enjoy the ladder matches and sometimes I do (win or lose) but shaman is strangling the joy out of experimentation for me. Even when I caved last night and ran shaman, it was not fun to play. Every other match was a mirror. The nerfs are unquestionably needed, but it's not "SHAMAN IS TIER S" like a lot of people on here are saying. It has counters, it's just that those counters are not what everyone wants to play (control dragon mage and OTK pally are wrecking shaman, btw).

Rough meta game will get better after the patch. Then we can all find another thing to complain about!

Relax... Only 3 days have passed since expansion release and it is expected to see a couple of archetypes owning the meta. It is indeed a bit overwhelming what happens with Shammns currently but soon things will start to get better.

Apart from the nerfs announced community is yet to build up new meta while experimenting.

Blizzard has proven time after time, especially during the last couple of years, that they dislike archetypes that have more than 55% win ratio in standard. Thus, they will soon make whatever changes are need to reach this status.

What i hope whatsoever is to have more than 2 or 3 archetypes at 55 - 58% win ratio in order to make standard interesting to get involved with.

And something last.

It seems that Blizzard tries to have "Class Eras" since Witchwood was released. We've had Druid Era, Hunter era, Warrior Era, Paladin Era and recently Shamman Era (i might be forgetting some here). We also witness at the same time, archetypes which had previous powerful periods (like Priest, Warlock and Mage) being forced to T3 or T2 decks at best. Eventualy they will make the needed changes in order to bring back these classes to the foreground either through balance changes/ nerfs or through the release of a new expansion.

the team is already going to release a balance patch next week with nerfs to primarily shaman (according to the articles on hearthPWN anyway) and I think they will continue to roll out balance fairly quickly to make sure nothing has a winrate that's too high. hopefully the game will be in a better state soon.

If you play Shaman right now and still have a negative Winrate (no matter which class or archtype your facing) your probably just very bad at the game. Shaman is so fuking busted that they need to nerf it one week after the release of the Exp.

edit: especially against aggro you should have a high winrate with all the 2/1 rush minions you get from your invoke cards.

i got 81% Winrate. 22 Wins, 5 Losses.

From Rank "i dont know" to 10 befor Rank 11 it was close too 90% winrate.

I realy hoped to play paladin or warlock this time but you must be nuts dont play quest shaman :(

Unplayable shit that loses to any priest without any chance to do anything.
