Hearthpwn

Indeed there seem to be many topics about HS hate, so this seems like a good enough place to share my exp with the game :)

So I've been playing HS since it came out, but the last years I played exclusively BGs. With barens I thought ok let's give standard another shot. I am so disappointed I stopped playing after a few days and waited for the nerfs, but when I see the nerfs I simply don't know what to say anymore....Lunacy should not be in the game AT ALL; this game is fun because it makes you think about different outcomes but how can I strategize about random cards? You don't know what those cards are going to be, you just hope he got random shit instead of random good stuff. But the way this expansion is right now, all the cards mage get are really good and for me it cannot be anything more frustrating than to see some random guy playing DoL and getting perfect cards randomly (last game mage was at 5 hearth and he played 3 librams of hope in a row for 6 mana each...I mean really man?! wtf is that?!). Also, no change to refreshing spring water? Literally this card gives you 2 other cards and in many cases it refreshes some mana as well, since it's cost is discounted starting with turn 2 usually. And guess what...43% of my games are with mages; and I'm not some random guy in bronze, I got to legendary a number of times and this is the way the game looks at platinum.

And the prices on those cards? So you want to tell me that I have to pay roughly the price of 1L of petrol in UE for 5 random cards, that can be the same cards I already have (and most of the time they are)? Just to put things into perspective, with the money for the pre-expansion sale I can pay for the petrol to go to vacation in Greece or for the accommodation for 1 week in the same country or to keep it in gaming world, it's the same cash you normally play for an entire new game that has been recently launched...dude...and this happens 3 times in a year???? Seems like you have to be stinking rich or stinking stupid and I am neither. And let's say you pay those $$ and you get an expansion like this, where it's 50% DoL mages, 35% libram/secret paladin and 15% for all the other classes (these are not invented figues, its decktracker statistics).

As for BGs...it does not generate revenue so they only give it minor changes until you just get bored of it.

I WAS a 20+ years fan of blizzard but this new management...OMG...they just ruin everything they touch with they're greed. After dumping WoW a few months ago, I am 1 step away from dumping HS (the last Blizzard game I have) and just play something else.
