...except it felt like winning the "special" olympics.
Uninistalled hearthstone from my computer:
I just can't take the game seriously anymore.
I mean; I have it on my phone, and will play games on the bus, and win a couple of game while on the toilet at work, but...
Actually winning with budget pirate warrior just crushed my interest in the game.
...
Last friday, at kickboxing practice -- I had a similar experience to the switch to Pirate Warrior.
I was sparring with a european lightweight champion for several rounds, and then against a 14 year old girl.
Switching to Pirate Warrior felt like boxing against that 14 year old girl.
Except, in Hearthstone, I didn't hold back.
And now I can't get the feeling of having absused someone out of my head, and I literally feel dirty, on behalf of the decent portion of humankind.

I switched to Pirate Warrior.
Thanks for making me see the light.
Look at my opponent: He was so happy from effectively losing the game on turn 3 that he couldn't even contain his excitement, and had to leave his computer!

"Play a class you don't want to play, using cards you don't like playing." is the standard reply, but that only applies to people who do anything to win -- not people who enjoy playing different classes, and want skill to determine games rather than matchups.

I get salty when there's 6 cards in my deck that I NEED to stop the aggro opponents,
And I don't draw them.
...and there's no more anti-aggro cards for the class that can be used without auto-losing to Quest Warrior and Quest Rogue.
Standard is 200 cards short.
200 defensive and stabilizing cards.

The luck of topdecks is more about how many cards you have in hand.
If you have 9 cards in hand, and draw the one you need -- it's not lucky.
You were unlucky that the card you got wasn't among the 9 other cards in your hand.
Topdecks are disgusting only when someone's hand is empty, and that person draw an answer or win condition, from among a heap of cards that don't do anything.
In a similar vein, the less cards that are left in a person's deck, the less annoying it becomes when he draws his win condition:
He was unlucky it wasn't in his top 15, very unlucky it wasn't in his top 20 and bloody unluck he had to draw over 25 cards for it.
The pinnacle of topdickery is vomiting out your entire hand by turn 5, and topdecking Leeroy for exact lethal from an empty board.

Why do people cry about people who mention there's huge problems?
Who cares if Arena is a clown fiesta?
Blizzard doesn't.
What happens to a new player who happens to stumble upon the Arena..?
One that doesn't have any tools or stats, and thinks arena is balanced, and that new players will face new players..?

Gadgetzan Auctioneer was broken.
Not Conceal.
Not Azure Drake.
What is wrong with Blizzard..?
Remove two cards that aren't overpowered.
Keep the one overpowered card.
If Rogue breaks without ONE neutral card, perhaps Rogue should have better class cards added?

Money isn't really the issue.
The problem is that CCGs require both cards, and skill.
As an arena player, coming back to play after a long while this week, at rank 23 -- TWENTYTHREE -- I encountered three quest rogues in 5 games.
Before rank 20.
Playing a randomly put together Dragon Priest.
One of the 5 first players I played had only basic cards.
...crushing him just felt bad.
Returning players with great collections and skill face entirely new players in a competetive PvP game.
...
Imagine if League of Legends pitted max level accounts with maxed rune pages and masteries piloted by challenger players against completely new players in half their games.
...
Solutions that actually work:
Don't force new players to play against -- not players who have paid -- but players who have a thousand times their experience, and collections to match their time played.
Compare to fighting, if you will.
PvP is a fight.
Hearthstone is like a fighting tournament where new fighters with practically zero training randomly are paired up with MMA stars.
Blizzard needs to start treating Hearthstone like a sport:
You need tiers of play.
New players need a safe zone where they don't face several 1000+ hour players in a row.

Been watching hearthstone on twitch instead of playing it for a couple of months, and came back today.
Bought some new packs.
Rank 23.
Game 1: Quest Rogue, complete with Patches.
Game 2: Quest Rogue, complete with Patches
Game 3: Quest Rogue.
...
AT RANK 23..!
TWENTYTHREE!
The cancer is literally everywhere.
I'm playing a dragon priest deck, and dragonfire potions aren't strong enough.
1 mana 5/5 charge with 2 mana 5/5 bouncers and shadowstep...
It's just fantastic how Charge continues to screw over the game after all these years...
And what counters are there to Quest Rogue in Priest..?
---
And now, building Druid...
The Keeper and Lore nerfs.
Dammit..! Who let Blizzard be in charge of balance again?!

But you still lose more games on average.
--
On the other hand -- I remember enjoying improved win rates for Shaman in 2016, by replacing Hex with Lava Burst.
Opponents still have to play around Hex until they see at least one.
Except you don't have them.
At worst, it causes opponents to play win conditions in desperation when they can't bait out your Hex -- and if they do -- they will be certain you have hex in the late game since you didn't play it earlier, if you survive.
However -- Hex is a defensive card, while Lava Burst seals games:
Hex causes you to not lose, while Lava Burst wins the game -- so I may be wrong in that Lava Burst caused me to win more games.

First of all, he replied to someone who said that Hitler should've killed handicapped people like P4wnyhof.
Hitler hated all minorities, and with two dads, you're not one who should use a Hitler statement unironically.
I don't see the problem with this statement:
Someone sais the other person should be killed by a anti-homophobic, racist, darwinist dictator.
The offended person told the offender that that wasn't a good idea, with two dads.
I see zero controversy so far.
But hey, perhaps he said something more.
I'm sure there's a video on demand for what P4wny said, and I'm perfectly willing to change my mind if he said something more than mentioning two gay dads, in a "why would you say that from your position, when your parents are ones that'd be killed by the guy that should kill me?" kind of fashion.
In that light, this part of the comment is completely inappropriate.
P4wnyhof's statement wasn't homophobic -- the other guy, with gay parents, parents which Hitler would have hated, stated that Hitler should've killed people like P4wnyhof.
...
And as for viewbotting:
Pick one: Prove it happened, wait for Twitch or someone else to prove it happened OR stop using it against him:
He's one of an extremely few streamers that stream between 9am and 17am Central European Time;
I've literally had no choice but to watch him for a long time, because there's noone else with decent english, some amount of skill, playing interesting decks with a decent personality and a non-cancer chat and non-cancer music.
Finally, the Gentleman's League:
Mistakes were made.
Mistakes WERE corrected, and offended teams got a fair chance.
The outcome of the tournament -- in the end -- was not affected by the mistakes.

Dat art though...
Compare to the creature in WoW:
