how can you be mad on RNG?

 I just explained to you why your precious "Active" playstyle is duller than paint drying, and why "sitting back and waiting" is actually having to use your brain and make decisions instead of matching mana crystals to mana crystals. But hey, do whatever makes you happy, just don't misrepresent it and call others salty when you're clearly butthurt your braindead playstyle got called out for what it is.

For the most part, I find acting to be more fun than reacting.

So playing an aggressive deck is more fun, for me, than playing a control deck that aims to respond to whatever my opponent does.

However, I find combo decks to be more fun still, because you're acting and the action you take is more fun than the action you take with aggro. :-)

 Really? Playing control is infinitely more complex and interesting than aggro. Do I SW:P this minion right now, or let him get some face damage on me and try to bait him to play into a board clear? Can I play a minion that appears non-threatening this turn so he doesn't trade, and I can develop my board whilst simultaneously encouraging him to play into a board clear on a later turn? Finding ways to correctly utilize the tools in your deck has some depth to it. What exactly do you find fun about "Hmm, I have 2 mana crystals... and... HEY! Wait a minute! This card costs 2 mana crystals! Maybe I should.... hurrr... durrr.... play this card! Me smart! Hurrr...". Rinse and repeat for turn 3, 4 and so on. Like explain to me how that could be fun.

There will always be whining in PvP games because a huge section of the playerbase are psychologically ill-suited to playing a game where there is a winner and a loser.

If they can't win all the time, they get angry.

Really, they'd be happier if they stayed far away from competitive games and sports and stuck to passive hobbies like reading, watching TV, or listening to music.

Blizzard doesn't answer questions .. people cry and whine and bitch and throw temper tantrums that Blizzard are not answering questions.

Don't ever change, Hearthstone community, you're perfect just the way you are.

I find it hard to have respect for the kind of people who resort to playing top tier aggro because they aren't skilled or considerate enough to pilot something more interactive. And sure you may be having fun by maximising your winrate by using broken early game cards and combos, but the vast majority of your opponents on your way up the ladder will see your games as a bad experience.

I'm not saying Kripp (or any other streamer/poster/dev/etc for that matter) is 100% correct, but it's hard to argue with the points he and many others have been making lately on this topic.

Every time I've looked over my opponent history, there has always been way less aggro than people complain about.

Something about losing to a fast deck just brings out the salt in people. Happens twice and they start thinking 90% of their opponents are aggro.

If it's "dominant in every category" why does it lose 47% of the time?

I play almost every weekday, but just a few games during my lunchbreak at work. I almost never play on my PC at home.

Wouldn't buy one myself, but doesn't sound like a bad idea.

It's called gloating.  No, the trend is not new.  Basically it's just the other player's way of letting you know that they have a bad character. 

 Just saying the use of this particular emote is trendy now, and not only that i see it on my opponents but it's a cross continental thing now, a bit curious how and why it spreads.

Anyway, as expected, it seems this triggered a lot of people, but instead of some self-reflection they choose prove my point.

Combo! My all-time favourite deck (which has never been particularly powerful, but is unbeatable when the pieces come together right) is the Shaman deathrattle abuse deck, with Ancestral Spirit and Reincarnate used to supercharge powerful deathrattle minions, and Kel'Thuzad as the icing on the cake.

I've also gotten a lot of enjoyment out of Patron Warrior and Miracle Rogue (which I would have called a combo deck, I've never heard of this phrase "tech deck" before, I thought "tech" cards were specific individual cards added to a deck to counter a particular type of opponent?)

"Well played!"
