    Wait what ? What does eSports even had to do with this ? Whats next ? Getting kicked out from from any where even if you have a car crash ?

     Now that is a definite slippery slope fallacy argument right there. Domestic abuse and car crashes are drastically different things and making a comparison of those two is belittling domestic abuse. 

    As far as what Esports has to do with this, they're very much so connected. Zalae is a member of Hearthstone Esports, thus he is working underneath Hearthstone, acting as a face, a representation of Hearthstone, even if he isn't directly employed by Hearthstone. It's the same thing that the NFL has done, suspending players after child abuse or domestic violence cases. I could add several other cases but don't want to due to political charges that they can build as of right now. Anyway, it comes down to the fact that they (Zalae, in this case) is a public figure representing a privately owned company (Hearthstone, in this case) and so, thanks to laws (at least in the US) it is within every right for Activision-Blizzard to suspend Zalae, even just over allegations, as they are a private company and he is currently representing something that they do not want to represent. They're putting him on a temporary leave effectively right now due to the allegations, and should he go to court and prove true, I believe they should permanently ban him from their Esports. For now, though, he is on leave due to an allegation, and will likely be either unsuspended or banned upon trial. It's the same thing that happens through just about every other organization or business and it's well within their legal rights to do so.

     I just had to log in to say: oh my God! In democratic country everyone is innocent until proven guilty. With their move, they just cut him. im not saying that he is innocent, but to do something like this, until it is proven.... just shows whats wrong with society , and this whole "cancel" culture. and i cant agree more with the dude you are quoting. 

     

    Its looks very fabricated and i dont like it when just any organisation/association/etc comes fourth with all sort of penalization before any investigation has been conducted by authorities. They need to learn their place, this is authorities responsibility and not a no one from Hearthstone eSports who happened to be today in the office to take ``measures``.

     

    On other hand i personally all i care is to see good card slinging in tournaments and i dont care if they ones who do it must come tied up like in sanatorium with an assistant that operate the laptop in their place to prevent them damaging and killing everything in sight. But that`s me.

    Agreed, switched to this deck from kingsbane and i basically doubled my win chance from 50% to 100%, although i removed krastinov and wand thief and added 2 chief inspectors as i run these in every odd deck i play.

    Excellent deck nevertheless that gets my up vote and recommendation.

    posted a message on New Rogue Quest - The Caverns Below (Crystal Core)

    Regarding the rogue quests and Blizzard target that they wishes to achieve though the rogue quest card, i went though the same concept, analized what rogue have at the moment and came up with the cards attached (card name and art are to be discussed as i am not creative, i wanted to present an alternative text variant).

     

    What i took in consideration:

    • Rogue current mechanic: stealth
    • Class identity
    • A way to end the game with this card - Team 5 goal
    • Unused cards

     

    Team 5 came up with:

    The Caverns Below

    Crystal Core

     

     

    So far by the looks of what we saw today, in my opinion, the rogues aren'nt doing it in 2017, either.

    Hello,

    A situation i thought at, but i didnnt saw it got toched anywhere by blizzard is what compensation you receive if you have both the normal and golden versions of the cards that are rotated:

    1. We receive compesnation for golden version of the cards only (Ex: 1 golden rag + 1 normal rag = 3200 DUST)
    2. We receive compensation for both versions ( Ex: 1 golden rag + 1 normal rag = 4800 DUST)
    3. We receive a median dust value for compensation of both versions ( Ex: 1 golden rag + 1 normal rag = 2400 DUST)

    Could somone state if this situation was adressed or in case it wasnt can it be passed further for clarification ?

     

    Thanks,

    CoD

    posted a message on What can I do with Cenarius?

    I like Cenarius, cant be used much in current meta top druid decks, but you can fiind space for him in future.

    I would say to hold on dusting any thing before the rotation occurs and the nerfs are announced (in case any duid deck receive another nerf and the respective deck is nulified, a new druid deck might apear and might use cenarius -  he is actually used in the token variant that includes Onyxia for example).
