Let's balance the warrior?

Seriously?

The only reason this thread exists is because you lost to a Warrior over and over and don't like it. If you were beat senselessly by a Shaman...you'd be calling to balance the Shaman instead. Some hero class has to be on top for each season and I contend whichever hero it is, will be whined about next. And the ones at the bottom will be whined about too. It doesn't need fixing, but the whining about it does.

Here are a few...

Anyone think Ravaging Ghoul is a little too strong?

It can be used as removal, as activator for card draw/combo/executes, solid 3/3 body.

I think this is one of the reason Warrior is so strong right now, this card is very versatile.

Also, 9/11 was an inside job, vaccines cause autism and the world was created by a fantasy creature called god.

"...gain so much Health that they are unkillable"

What would make you think that?

That is sarcasm for those who are slow.

Ben Brode strikes me as quite full of himself and his so-called achievements with HS. He strikes me as if given the chance he might even want to make a card after himself.

It's all about..."me me me..."

 Why do you say achievements sarcastically? He is the head guy of a wildly successful, in all areas, online card game where he contributed directly to it's development. Why isn't that a great achievement for somebody? You don't have to agree with everything he says, but goddamn he's probably achieved more than you will your entire life. I guess the truth holds that people less successful than you will always just want to shit down your throat and attempt to bring you down to their level.

Now look, I am not a rank 19 player and this problem doesn't affect me directly. BUT when I played on my noob friend's account, this was a problem. These players should not receive golden hero portraits. I ended up smashing a tier one deck with basic cards, simply because I'm a legend player. Just think about the people who don't have legend friends. Blizzard loses a lot of new players from these people. By beating up on noobs, they don't prove that they can play well, all the prove is that they're douchebags. I have many friends who have golden heroes just from playing a lot. I think you shouldn't be able to receive a golden hero portrait until you receive rank 5 on either wild or standard. Anyone agree?

Any advice for not having huge toad?

The whole new mode is epileptic...

There's a lot of other effects like this in the game. I'm not epileptic or anything but it really annoys my eyes every time I see the animation for Lightning Storm.

It's not like they can put patches out whever they want, atleast not on mobile. The apple/google play store has to approve every update, that can take up to multiple weeks and in that case it's just saver to implement it in the Darkmoon faire patch

I know it sounds harsh but... so many games have disclaimers. Is gaming really the best hobby to has when you have seizure? I mean its almost everywhere. I can understand blizz in this case. No offense!

If this issue somehow caused people to get free card packs, it would be fixed within a day.

Hi there !

I also only play priest on my account, and I like to run some tests with decklists.

I tried your list. I just destroyed a Rogue in six turns. He couldn't handle gandling, and I played Illucia, giving him a useless hand, making my board of 4/4s.
Next was a highlander hunter. I flooded the board with cheap minions, clearing his threats. Turn 6 I had a full board and he had one hp left.
Next game a hunter Conceded Turn 5 after he couldn't kill Gandling.

I will continue the testing. Feels already great so far :D

Many thanks for sharing.

This is a complicated and emotionally charged topic. I enjoy HS myself, this is not a 'hatepost', but I actually really dislike this change.

The gaming industry is drastically shifting at the moment. Many companies enforce new subtile ways to make tons of money using micro transaction. If you look into investor reports from activision blizzard, but also EA you'll see that the entire industry is pushing towards mobile/micro transaction/milking/whalehunting. Activision started doing Lootboxes (Cardpacks) and Season Passes within the last years. The results were always the same. People get more stuff, but the items that they get are less important and random. This means: You get more stuff that you don't need. You pay more for less. You need to pay more to get the same. People will maybe downvote this because they don't want to hear it, so let me tell you this. Let's talk about this in 1-2 years, as a recap. You'll get what I mean and there will be no discussion because everyone that is invested in HS will understand the system. Just look at the CoD season pass - thats a great example. Its a very clever system created by addiction psychologist to maximize profit. 

Several years ago I made a huge reddit posts about things that HS could improve on. By now, they implemented almost everything I posted, except the monetary system. I would prefer having much cheaper access to cards, while having much more cosmetics with higher pricing (see League of Legends). 

TL;DR: If they actually make it easier for F2P players.. great. But I don't believe that, based on Activision Blizzards past business decisions and investor calls. I think the opposite will happen.
