Well it's quarantine so wouldn't be surprised if someone got it

 

 Assuming 50% win-rate (I think it is fair as no everyone is able to achieve the same wr%, which the deck has according to the stats) and 10 minutes per game = 333,33 hours of constant playing.  Almost 2 weeks of not leaving your computer, not sleeping, pissing or anything.

Let's give them 60% wr and it's still 278 hours.

I know, the lockdown. But many of us still work (I do), either remotely or because their job is "essential". We still have other hobbies, like reading, watching films and shows. We still have our close ones. 

To spend your entire life, even in a lockdown, in an online game is something I can't comprehend. Simple as that.

 Its 400 hours or 16 days and 16 hours since AoO launced. Assuming they played only DH and with a 60% WR - 278 hours. 278 hours over 16 days is 17 hours (rounded down) of playtime every day. 

No, not even the most hardcore can play that much. I would say it wont be achieved for another month.

 You're very wrong.

 Also FYI it's possible for a good player to abuse the system and farm noobs in the lower ranks. That makes it a lot easier.

 Well, it's true, but who on earth would even do this? xD I got bored after like 110 games with Demon Hunter and now I have 73 wins and no urge to play him more. As much as he is fun to play at first, it just gets boring to "go face" all the time. I prefer control decks so that may be the case, but still... I can't imagine a person try-harding and wasting every minute of their free time to "farm noobs". I would probably die of boredom halfway through...

 Whatever you enjoy might be different for other people.

Got legend with my odd Demon Hunter AFTER the last nerfs...

Still Verry strong with no really bad match ups and good winrate vs all other aggro decks...  and even with the new nerfs it will be in a fine spot.

 at this time of the month, in the new system, anything can get you to Legend.

also you'll lose Altruis next patch

Quote from Star_Forge >>

You're playing a much more braindead and cancerous deck yourself. Get over it.

 Your comment shows a lot of inexperience.

My opponent plays a miracle jade druid list, which aims to play Kael'thas and draw their entire deck within 10 turns. And as a bonus gets a million armor.

Cubelock is the perfect deck to counter the oppressive secret mage and aggro in general.

So tell me, why shouldn't I play it if it works well for me ? Also, just fyi, I can play any deck and any class.

 What a genius!!! 

See you in 6 months when you cry and ask for your cards back as they introduce a new game mode that uses wild cards.

The same with a LOT more money in my bank account.

I hope there’s NO rewards like card back because I’d be forced to play something that isn’t HS just for the rewards.

id be all for packs as rewards though

Seems like a salty rant from an inexperienced player.

Quote from Shadow07 >>

Clickbait ...

 

 Not gonna lie, this article is bad.

''Yes, you can make some really good profit from arena right now, after the Arena offering rate update, because you will be more likely to get the most powerful cards from the Hearthstone universe such as Ultimate Infestation, Sunkeeper Tarim, Dr. Boom, Voidlord and much more!''

Really ? You can make really good profit because you're more likely to get the best cards in Hearthstone but your opponent is just as likely to have them.. How is this making any sense ?

Quote from hillandder >>

Blizzard have much more issues right now than portrait bugs...

 So that means the devs shouldn’t be working on bug fixes for any of their games ?

Quote from Sinti >>

You cant cry about ppl winning based on RNG effects then if you cry about Specialist tournament being boring. Either you want watchable content or you want more strategy. Sadly, in HS you cant rly have both. But ppl will be dissatisfied either way.

 Clearly you haven't watched the format or you would know all these mirror matches are decided on who draws very specific cards first. That's not strategy or tactics it's just random luck. Unlike conquest where you had to play multiple different classes and decks successfully against all the other decks.

No, this doesn't deserve a thread of it's own.

Here's your answer: You're complaining about all the pointless threads by creating a pointless thread.

Everyone is already sick to death of Warriors and Rogues, so I don't think a lot of people are looking forward to the GM thing, especially in that stupid format. I don't know what else there is to say about it.

so my question is this: why does it matter?

Why do you have Boom there? It wont work the same way DK Rexxar could carry a game vs control deck, it is a dead card considering what ur trying to do.

Nah, it made you salty as f*ck that's why you felt the need to make this thread. It's ok mate, it happens to the best of us.

There is literally a thread discussing buff right above this one. Really dude?

I feel like you're not understanding my point.  They are uncertain because there is a cap after which it is impossible to know what the best play is.  That cap is pretty easy to reach, again in my opinion, which you are free to disagree with.  If you know the deck you're up against (which is probably a good 90-95% of matchups unless you're new), you know they could have counters x y and z to your possible plays.  Just because you do the best play assuming (hoping) they don't have Z and they end up having it, that's not a misplay.  You can never play around literally everything, and the only way you can know for certain what they have is when fatigue starts playing a role.

It also doesn't particularly matter if you make minor misplays here and there.  If you watch these streamers you will see that sometimes their opponents make absolutely braindead plays the whole game and still win.  Maybe they won't stay in high legend or get there consistently, but they do get there.

Anyway, I stick by my point that if you want to improve as a player, you are better off trying to improve your focus/discipline first, then start thinking about skill once you have that mastered.  Skill is meaningless if you're too drunk/mad to think.

 

I'm arguing that it's extremely hard to accurately play around X card vs Y card. It can be very difficult to make the perfect play based on the odds of your opponent having a specific card. Playing around a card that your opponent very likely does not have in his hand could be a misplay or could be a safe play that increases your changes of winning, so which one is it ? See what I mean, making the best decision based off the odds is difficult.

 Agree with this honestly. And also the most difficult decisions imo are those situations when you have to decide not play around Brawl for example because you cannot beat that card anyway, so you just ignore it and hope for the best. I find that most of the players (even legend players) don't do this right sometimes. A game of Hearthstone can have so many slightly different lines of play that can make a difference between winning and losing the game. Then of course sometimes people just play badly and win anyway because sometimes you just need to drag minions to the face :P

Like many on the thread already stated, I think it's more about win percentage than rank. First time I hit legend it took me weeks of playing several hours a day (couple of years ago). Since then I've been hitting legend quite consistently and noticed that every month it was so much easier and faster than the month before. For me a good player is who can squeeze wins in games where most of the other players would lose and in doing so has f.e. 65% WR instead of 55% in certain MUs.

If I would have to pick a rank I'd say passing through rank 4-3 makes you a good player, legend makes you better player but finishing in top legend is so much more difficult than that. People in top 200 are usually a lot more challenging to win against than average legend player.

And to people saying it's just a matter of grinding, it really isn't... Try and play control warrior mirror matches in standard right now. I can easily win through resource management and picking the right time for tempo plays in lower ranks but it gets so much harder the higher you climb on ladder.

Quote from Pullaa >>

A good player is not determined by rank. A good player is polite and doesn't just netdeck

 Actually, no, a good player doesn't try to dictate what other people can and cannot play. A good player takes all challengers in stride, regardless of the archetype they are playing. A good player adapts to the meta instead of expecting the meta to adapt to one's individual preferences.
