Also I just got an email from Blizzard about my last month of gaming. I completed a total of 29 quests while the average in the NA region is just 12! That means people can't even bother to come on once every 3 days to clear out quests. They're barely logging on 4 times a month or so and doing 3 quests. Big yikes.
Just because the game is still being played doesn't mean it's not good or can't be better. Don't be allergic to criticism. My biggest gripe with the game is that the current belief is that the game has to be rock/paper/scissors. That control must defeat aggro, that aggro must defeat combo, that combo must defeat control, midrange is dead, etc. Maybe it's rose-tinted glasses but I recall even in metals like Grim Patron Warrior or greedy Reno decks that you could play smart and beat the decks favored against you. That rather than a deck having a 90% win rate vs it's favored prey, it was closer to 60%, so clearly a deck as favored but the other guy had a fighting chance. A polarized meta where the best move is bottom right is bullshit. We've had good metas in the past, why not bring them back?
I think the player base is shrinking and that's why bli$$ard is going so hard with paid content now. Paid Dungeon run, paid portrait in every expansion. This feels like Bli$$ard thinks the game is dying at least.
How does best friends work? I cobbled together a random Reno deck for my blind run and was a few minutes too late, 45. I blame rooms like trap room and the lady who constantly heals herself for just being slogs.
The majority of the players aren't even on the internet. You're a part of the vocal minority. The majority doesn't give two flying fucks about this. They aren't even invested enough to be on the various forums lol
Considering all of Bli$$ard's games are online I'm fairly certain all of their players are on the internet.
Rexxar definitely wins for just fitting into any deck (except odd hunter I guess). Guldan is pretty good but Zoolock wouldn't run him. I really enjoy Uther even if he's one of the weaker DKs, an instant 10 heal and 5 damage removal x3, and potential win condition! His only drawback is the win condition is pretty tough to pull off, and once his weapon breaks he's really just "spend 2 mana for a 2/2" while other DK's have longer lasting value.
Do quests vs a friend every 2 or 3 days and try not to miss one. Even doing 50g quests, you'll make more gold doing them then you would farming for hours unless your win rate is high and games are short (i.e aggro).
I miss the days when you could play against the deck that was your bad match-up but with some smart moves give yourself a chance. You could be a huntard against a Reno deck, but once you realize your opponents interesting card choices meant he was singleton you could stave off damage, trying to bait out the Reno or put him in a position to burst him down. Or when control decks didn't have to be Warrior and they had to be smart about when they used their AoE cards.
I'm not sure Kangor's Army is the best in this deck. Getting back micro mummies with no magnetics or the 1/1 tokens is really painful. However my win-rate is pretty good! In fact the only decks that can beat me are aggressive decks, I've lost to Beast hunter and Token Drood.
Those ropers are just training to become pros :^) When I started HS I would rage when an enemy snowballed and I had no chance of coming back. That blows, at least Yugioh had spells like Mirror Force to help you make a comeback. Losing to le perfect random card blows too. But now we've seen both sides of us recently. Years ago it was the clown fiesta and now it's been repetitivestone with decks like control warrior and baku. I guess I enjoy rngstone better than every game playing out the same.

Seeing "daily quests can now be rerolled" makes me laugh because it's like a new feature they just added.

Looks like OP was right all along.

I wonder if the other hero skins will get 1000 win portraits. I'd like to see a new Arthas.

This is the best answer. Shudderwock has been around since last spring but they're not looking at animations at all.
