Same feelings. I remember all the cards from first 6-7 years, but can't remember a lot of new ones so I completed the brawl only after two resets. Especially DH, many cards from last couple of years are the same picture to me. Still a fun brawl, although perhaps annoying for new players.

Extra info from Ridiculous Hat: you need to watch for 4 hours in total to get all of these.

xskarma, since it's only 12 hours and quite a lot of rewards, would you be so kind to put the article on top the day before so it doesn't get buried under card reveals? People tend to forget about such things, myself included. Thanks in advance.

upd: oh, it's both Monday and Wednesday, I missed that initially.

Slow aggro, also known as fast control, actually has a name: midrange. It's an ok anti-aggro deck, but far from 58%, it's somewhere around 50% most likely. Choosing Rainbow Mage over it is a good idea. According to Vicious Syndicate's report, Rainbow Mage is a better deck right now, and the higher you are, the better it would be in comparison to Druid. At top legend it's the most popular deck and only Secret and Excavate Rogues are better.

Dragon Druid is not an Aggro deck… you are playing it wrong if you just gonna go face and ignore the opponent’s board…

Aggro decks don't work like that in general in most of the matchups, but yes, it's definitely not aggro.

I wouldn’t mind making the game cost something every month. I think the fact that it’s free is very appealing to leech from in the form of bots.

This way you will destroy a huge part of the player base just for fixing a minor inconvenience. It would not even solve that, someone would need to take F2P players place and this would lead to more official Blizzard's bots. F2P players are basically more skillful official bots in that sense, we are paying by giving our time to make servers populated. Ideally for Blizzard, F2P players would spend some money at some point, but most of us will never do it and they know it. If they wanted only paying players, they would not make a free to play game. Idk if the game would be better or worse, but definitely much less popular.

Having fun is more important than getting a high rank. 

Can't argue with that, fun is the main reason why any game exists. Or should exist, there is a sad trend of more and more games become total crap because the developers started to pursue other goals like push their agenda or make player emotional, I don't know or care, there are enough cozy and fun games for me.

Anyway, I think getting a high rank is fun for most of the people, so they don't have to choose. I don't even care too muсh about my rank, I just want to win some games and get my dose of dopamine. Bot, noob, experienced player, doesn't matter (well, playing against top pros is more exciting, not gonna lie, but high rank is basically required for that so I take that aside). My task is try to win (without too much effort, hopefully) and I don't care about what my opponent is doing. Even if I cared about the challenge, it's impossible to not face it naturally at some point.

The imaginary situation when the player is playing only against bots is also a fair point, but let's be real, if player's MMR is that low, maybe the player needs some training and beat those bots instead of complaining about the game being not challenging enough? I mean, if someone will claim that he is facing bots 100 times in a row, that would probably mean he is extremely bad and can't beat them, lies or delusional and calls real people bots.

The only situation where bots are problematic for me is that weird Chinese thing when they are made to went through arena drafts until they find a nuts deck (so their owner/buyer can destroy everybody) or if they will become better than humans at some point (huge problem in chess). As long as bots are losing, I think it's not a big deal.

Very nice! Works great

Alternatively some more social functions would be really nice. For example if I go against one of those that just "do their dailies" it would be very different if they could just say that to me. "sorry dude but I just doing my dailies, playing x rush minions" "seriously? ugh, fine, I guess I'll help you, " instead of me conceding because that's not what I wanted to play.

That sounds narcissistic. What do you mean "sorry"? They are giving you free win by playing a bad deck, why they should be sorry for some reason? Concede If you want, they will not have any problem completing their daily quest next game. You're not helping them like when you allow them to spectate your game for "Watch and learn" quest.

Everyone should be able to play any deck they want. You should not expect other people to play a game exactly the way you want, it's not realistic for any multiplayer game. If you want more challenge and less people who don't care, climb higher. I can guarantee you that you will not see anyone who don't care at top 1k legend.

From a design perspective it's Demon Hunter, because hero power should cost the same for every class. From my personal taste perspective it's Rogue and Priest.

No abilities, can attack: "If a Titan is Silenced, they can’t use their abilities and instead can perform attacks as if they were a regular minion"

Yep, happens from time to time to me as well

Paladin is OP and will be nerfed, but we've had way worse metas than this one

After you claim your drop from twitch log in to the region you want to receive the packs on.

Just let people block 1 or 2 classes they don't want to face. Problems solved. Actually its pretty good idea. Thank me later.

Not the first one to suggest this, and it's a bad idea. Thank me later.

good bye you wont be missed

Why not shut down Arena instead? It is by far the worst mode in Hearthstone.

Don’t you think they are looking at what modes are actually getting played? Arena gets plated a lot while duels doesn’t. They wrote about that some time ago.

Get out of here! Arena is the best thing Hs has had since its beginning! 

Arena is literally the only exciting game mode with this garbage constructed meta atm

1. My opponents ALWAYS draw him and most of the time they are also able to make him dormant again.

2. Are you really sure that you played almost 1,2 matches per hour non stop the last 7 days? If yes, you got more severe problems than that.

Since I needed about 60 more wins to get to 1000 with DH, I have been playing nothing but Shopper DH this month, and hit legend today with it. 49-20 record, for a 71% winrate.

While Mags is the best choice (especially when he brings along a twin), both Illidari Inquisitor and Abyssal Bassist are also excellent hits, and there are other ways to get value as well.

Have I been frozen out by Quartzite Crusher for turn after turn? Yep.

Have I been outarmored by both Warrriors and Mages? Yep.

Have I blown out innumerable opponents by killing them on turn 5 or 6? Yep.

I have a positive winrate vs every major deck, and the Warlock (86%) and Warrior (70%) matchups are especially favorable.

The deck is busted, as evidenced by a 70% winrate in a field where most decks seem to be targeting it.

are U playin hearthstone?xdd

That's the guy who played Prince Renathal in all his decks.
