Honestly, this is why Team 5 scares the shit out of me and I fear for the future of this game when they say things like ''Standard Arena is a good idea'' when basically everyone else instantly realizes how bad it actually is.

We need Legendarys, Rares and Epics appearing more to improve decision making and variance. Not the opposite.

Changing Arena to Standard is not a ''Good Idea'' in fact it's one of the worst things they could do, it kills the variance, unpredictability, and fun. 

There are much better solutions that could add onto Arena instead of cutting down and taking away.

Having Epics and Rares appear more frequently would improve Arena better then cutting the card pool down.

Lowering the card pool just dumbs down Arena and this game is already at brain dead levels. It's nice to have a competitive scene that has all the cards available to be experienced. Arena is meant to be more complex than Standard.

More balanced version !

There is a lot of eggs in Un'goro so very high chance on new egg style card, probably be some beefed up version of Nerubian Egg.

''Upcoming Balance Changes'' AKA - Cards were gonna nerf so badly we why's well of said ''Cards were removing from the game.''

I just want to make sure the full quote on that is somewhere. 

Brode: We’re definitely starting to believe it might be a problem. What we’re looking to see is if the problem is going to get worse or better or stay the same. Depending on how that happens over the next few weeks or months, we will have a better idea of when or how we would make a decision on nerfs, if they would happen. I’m being a little cagey about our response there, because in general we try to plan our nerfs around patches. I don’t think it’s the best experience to announce nerfs too early, if we decide to make them. Then it feels like you have to play a broken game with this card that everyone agrees is broken and Blizzard knows is broken.

That is exactly why WoW is trash and is no where near the game it once was and why Hearthstone is getting to be trash as well. To many RNG aspects run by Liberal developers that want everyone to have participation trophies and everyone to feel like they can ''win''. The problem is none of these 'wins' have any long lasting effect because they weren't earned so what we have is just a bunch ''who the hell cares mentality'' with no competitiveness or thought. 

If they make Arena a Standard format good chance i will quit the game, having a diluted card pool is the entire point of Arena...Never know what your going to get and you can still build synergies regardless. Going to Standard is not the answer.

I almost never do Constructed because i can't stand Standard so if Arena is much the same there is no getting away from it.

Nice concept and was different but executed poorly like most things from Team 5. It was so brain dead easy to beat it sucked all the fun out, had no desire to play it a 2nd time.

A thing Blizzard used to excel at but is now something they don't get at all now that all the founders don't do this anymore is that without struggle there can't be triumph. Everyone look back at all your greatest gaming moments throughout your life, chances are it was struggle and you were banging head on the keyboard but looking back would you have wanted it any other way? Fuck no. All of this participation hand outs with brain dead easiness is the #1 absolute cancer to Blizzard games today it makes for abysmal game play with no lasting memory no nothing.

Priest is the most aggravating class to face when they are strong ^^

They drag the games for ages and they steal all your valuable stuff. And they clean the board constantly and spam "Woaaah" emote.

You thought agro shaman and zoolock are annoying (which is true) well priest would be worse if they were strong.

"What's a priest?"

LUL PRIEST STILL CUCKED! LUL

Honestly, Rogue and Priest kinda got the middle finger in this adventure. All the other classes received good to amazing cards, while Priest and Rogue just got bad cards. The most insulting card though was the fork for Rogue.  3 mana for a 3/2 is pretty bad and to have the weapon go to your hand just makes it worse. But the worst thing of them all is, the weapon costs 3! 3 mana for a 3/2 weapon! The same stats that Warrior gets for 2! How does Blizzard expect us to continue playing the game when it keeps making the strong classes stronger and the worse classes worse? There's just no way to compete. I know boo-hoo, why dont i just netdeck dragon tempo c'thun zoo pirate face Warloman or just uninstall. I didn't realize when i started playing, the game actually only had 4 classes and 5 target dummies.

Checking the stream if there are good cards for Priest

Wow more neutral buffs to warriors, we were really needing it!! Thanks blizzard, now warrior is playable!

Well, it's confirmed. Priest is still awful. Arguably got the worst cards again.

Quote from DarkArchon21 >>

A interesting option to create more Arena diversity is to have the same approach WoW used when groups couldn't find Tanks....Offer above average rewards for players that pick the least played Arena classes that punch over 6 wins.

I dont expect Blizzard to fix it or anything, but I feel like they should aknowledge these problems and take suggestions from the community instead of writing jokes on their whiteboard.

This just makes no sense.

I have been Blizzard fan for almost 10 years now and I am already used to vague and useless developer/community communication. But why HS too? The game was a breath of fresh air back in 2014 and you could see that the developers actually really care for the game. Why it changed so drasticly I dont know. 

And after such well done announcment and release of WotOG we get this shit? Especially when the game is in such state. Arena is a joking matter, one of your 9 classes is virtually unplayable and the game system is rewarding mindless boring agro and zoo decks over the fun and engaging midrange and control decks.
