Hearthpwn

Firstly, your bias for asking such an open-ended question is not conducive to real conversation. The few, anecdotal examples you have are, just that. I am not here to proffer judgement on the actual matter because i, like many do not have the personal experiences necessary. Though as a competitive legend player on the NA server and from my interests in streams I suggest you might pop in on some players with great multi-server success: Lifecoach, justsaiyan, StrifeCro, Dog, Firebat, Zalae (all of these with the exception of strife are great at responding to chat btw) and others who if you recognize on ladder and strike the right way may add you and answer such as muzzy, Ishaan, neo. Best of luck.

Just here to say trust in your teammate. (Unless obvious troll is obvious) If you just think they are bad give them a chance, you could be surprised. My story: I greet the priest, he replies... good sign; from here he plays Garrison turn 2, it gets prioritized and turn four he opts to play a minion and attack in with the 2/1 which the previous turn I had said to myself if that specific play happened I would concede. I stuck it out, it was great. Here's the result: 

TL;DR: Have faith in your teammate, even if you think they're bad, they could always still have good cards(or just not be as bad as you thought).

I hope this is one case that Bilzzard does not side with the whiny majority. The card could be altered for the better, I'm sure, but I've seen no great ideas for such here. As people have said before: unfun does for equal unbalanced.

Quote from Fruitacious >>

This is like saying we should forgive murderers because maybe they think killing people is OK. Are you serious?

It may surprise you to know but this is an actual occurrence. It is most often achieved through a plea of insanity, whether guilty or non guilty it greatly reduces charges in many cases and can result in the dismissal of others. I'm sure there are other ways with out court system to slip murder as well. So in the eyes of federal and state law the response would be yes, he is serious. If you were regarding ethics in your reply it seems odd given your previous comment disregarding the sect entirely. As a moreover the OP never even stated directly he roped for the purposes you imply.

Edit: On a somewhat unrelated note, your alliance to Ramsay Bolton is confusing at its least.

 The legal issues you speak of don't condone the murder because of mitigating circumstances, they simply inform the way it is punished. If mental illness led to a genuine belief that the murder was right, the sentence is changed, but the ethical stance on murder remains the same. Nobody is forgiven when proven to have committed murder, extenuating and mitigating circumstances just change the way the punishment is handed down. A plea of insanity never removes all repurcussions either, and will at least lead to court-mandated treatment.

These are subtle differences, and the argument over whether or not there is a higher code of ethics all people adhere to is a deeper question, but murder is never considered ok because of a deviant worldview except to the murderer himself.

^ This. Well said man.

Winning tends to work well.

If this is original I both applaud and question your time management skills. Nicely done either way.

Nice Facehunter there, Flux ;)

 Ah, sorry I just only noticed. You are a warrior player so I better understand the relevant curiosity/use of time.

I think you are definitely onto something, I have noticed it myself. Although this brawl is a step in a very good direction and I have faith in Blizzard that this game will curve out into something favorable for both sides of players.

For instance, no longer both a "Hateful Langue" and "Hate Speech" warning, but just a singular "Hateful Language" warning.

The following are the rules and guidelines which are to be followed if you wish to make use of the commenting and posting systems on HearthPwn. Users who do not follow these rules will feel the wrath of the moderators. These rules are applied globally to the website, in addition to any forum specific rules that some forums may have. Please refer to those forums and their relevant stickies to ensure you are in compliance with the rules.

In addition to the rules below, we also abide by the Twitch Community Guidelines.

Things You Want to Avoid

Writing in Languages Other Than English

HearthPwn is an English community and although we understand Hearthstone and its community has a worldwide reach, we are unable to moderate languages other than English and do not provide any coverage or content in other languages.

Due to this and a spam filter that is heavily biased towards non-english content, we ask that all content you write on the site remains in English. If your English isn't the best, don't worry, you can practice by interacting with fellow Hearthstone players right here; We don't discriminate!

Posts written in languages other than English may see deletion. If your non-English post is marked as spam by our spam system, we will not unspam it and ask that you write again using English.

Advertising on HearthPwn

Advertisements for non-beneficial and/or non-related websites, businesses and/or organizations are not allowed on HearthPwn. If you wish to advertise the website of yourself or someone else that has a relevant theme, we would appreciate it if you ask permission first. 

Send a private message to any of our moderators or website admins before making a thread. Also, we do not allow more than one thread per advertisement. We reserve the right to refuse advertisements for any reason whatsoever.

Your Clan, Guild, Team Website

We allow advertising of these types of websites in our Team Discussion forum without having to speak with us first.

Subscription Based and For-Pay Websites

Under no circumstances do we allow "premium" Hearthstone websites to be advertised on HearthPwn. This includes, but is not limited to, sites which offer paid versions of decks and guides. We believe that content should be open and free to everyone, just like we have here on HearthPwn.

Links or references to websites of this nature will be removed regardless of the intent of the poster.

Circumventing a Ban or Suspension

Posting on another account or having someone else post in your behalf when your account has been suspended or banned is not allowed. As a result, a new suspension or ban will be issued.

Discussing Moderator Based Actions

Actions taken against a member of the community are not to be discussed in public on the forums. Opinions about specific moderators or moderator actions (locking, deleting threads, etc) are also not to be discussed in posts or threads.

If you have questions, remarks, suggestions or complaints about moderating in general or specific moderators, please contact a site administrator through a private message. A list of staff members suitable for contact can be found here.

Bans can now be appealed. More information on how to do that is provided in the private message you'll receive when banned.

Naming and Shaming

We don't want to see one sided accusations or any other form of naming and shaming. 

Personal Information

Real life personal information about yourself or anyone else should also not be posted on HearthPwn.

We strongly suggest to never post your e-mail address on the forums, even if you deform it well enough to be picked up by bots. If you want people to contact you, we suggest you use the private message system.

Spamming and Trolling

Neither spamming or trolling is acceptable on the forums. This includes, but is not limited to, the following examples:

• Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, or pure gibberish
• Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums
• Causing disturbances in forum threads, such as picking fights, making off topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters
• Making non-constructive posts
• Abusing the Reported Post feature by sending false alarms or nonsensical messages
• Thread-necro: Reviving an old thread for no reason other than bumping it to the first page
• Posting meme or troll images, text, or videos; "cool story bro", "u mad", "10/10", captioned images, etc...
• We are more relaxed regarding these images in news post comments.
• Replying to a thread simply to call the author a troll (regardless of whether the post is actually trolling -- if you feel it is, please use the report button)

Vote Manipulation

Under no circumstance shall you:

• Create multiple accounts to control voting of objects on the site.
• Ask other members of the site to vote on objects, positively or negatively.
• You are allowed to ask people to "upvote", "like", or simply "vote" on your deck page though if they found it enjoyable.

Examples of objects include but are not limited to: Decks, Comments, and Forum Posts.

Vote Begging

Begging for votes on decks now requires that you create some written content before doing so. If you do not have written guide content when asking the community to vote on it, your deck will be set to unlisted, the message removed from your deck, and you will receive a private message from our staff indicating that you need to update your deck. Important things to note about this rule:

• You are not required to write guides for every deck you submit - only if you're asking for votes!
• You can still remind everyone viewing your guide to vote on it if they liked it. That doesn't change.
• You may state you will write a more in-depth guide if you receive a positive response from the community - just make sure you have an initial guide!
• Anyone who is asked to add content to their deck that has asked for upvotes and does not do it and relists their deck public may see their deck get deleted and a warning placed on their account.

Vote Harassment

Under no circumstance shall you:

• Vote negatively multiple times against a user because of an entity they have created.
• Don't agree with one comment? Sure, you can add a negative vote, but don't go through their entire posting history and leave them a negative vote on everything.
• Ask other members of the site to vote negatively against an entity.

Examples of entities include but are not limited to: Decks, Comments, and Forum Posts.

Abusing Player Tagging on Decks

This section is about our Player Decks Site Feature.

All decks submitted to the site which are tagged to a player must belong to that player. This means the player needs to have played that deck on their stream, on ladder, in a tournament, or just stated they are playing that deck.

• You are to under no circumstances tag a deck with a player who is not playing that deck.
• If you made a deck, it isn't Amaz's deck, it shouldn't be tagged as his.
• You must include proof in your deck description which is easily verifiable that the player is playing that deck.
• Proof can be in the form of screenshots, videos, tweets, etc.
• If we don't have proof, we'll remove the association.

Abusing the Player Tagging feature on the Deckbuilder will result in the loss of the player tagging feature.

Videos in Deck Comments

We allow content creators to respond to decks with videos they created provided that they are for that deck.

• The video must include footage of the exact deck present in the deck guide.
• If the video was made for another deck on the site, even if they are similar, your video may be removed.
• As a courtesy to the deck author, you should link back to their deck in your video's description!
• Deck authors reporting comments with videos will be ignored unless the video was not created for that deck specifically.

Posting Any of the Following Subjects on HearthPwn

The following topics are not to be discussed on HearthPwn on penalty of ban.

• Gold-selling/Account selling or trading websites
• Keyloggers, hoaxes/phishing websites
• Activities considered illegal by Blizzard Entertainment (botting, hacking, cheating, exploiting,...)
• Religious opinions/debates
• Hateful language about race, religion, country (Example: US vs. EU threads), political beliefs, etc.
• Pornography
• Content that is considered illegal by law
• Referral links for contests, promotions, or anything else

Bumping Threads

Don't bump threads. If you have nothing to add to the discussion, move on.

Thread authors may reply to their thread if they have made a significant update to the original post.

Signature Guidelines

The following guidelines are to be met when editing your signature. Users in violation of these guidelines will have their signatures deleted and will be contacted by a moderator.

• Width: No larger than 500px.
• Height: No larger than 100px.
• Filesize: No larger than 50kB.

No monetized links or links for SEO are allowed. Links to your personal site or social media accounts are acceptable, however, advertisement banners are not allowed.

Post Text Color and Font Size

You have the ability to change the color of your text on your posts and guides! This can help you customize your content better than before but it must be done wisely.

Please don't abuse this feature. We want to see it used for good and not evil. Anyone abusing it will see their content reset or deleted from the site and we may hand you a warning.

• Make sure your content is still readable. If people can't read it, we're gonna have a bad time.
• No excessive "rainbowing" of your text. Be smart about it.

Infractions and You - The Penalty System of HearthPwn

HearthPwn runs on an infraction based ban system. If you break the rules, infraction points will be added to your account and when you reach certain thresholds, your account will be banned for a predetermined amount of time. Points are typically valid for 3 months, after which they will no longer apply to your account. Moderators are still able to see your expired infractions and may decide to apply harsher penalties to your account at their discretion.

Points Required for Ban Duration

Points Given by Infraction

Seriously, what is the difficult part in 'Tavern Brawl is a fun game mode that's not about winning but about creating your own, innovative decks'? 

Featuring the decks with the highest win rates on the front page so everyone can copy-paste them is exactly the opposite of what Tavern brawl is about...

PLEASE VISIT THE NEW THREAD TO BLOW OFF STEAM! CLICK ME

Quote from Chimera >>

You all must realize what thread this is, and the purpose of it.

This is a thread with the intended purpose of being an outlet for all of your salty moments. 
This absolutely does NOT invite others to come and make ignorant posts and belittle others out of boredom, fun, or any other reason.

People being salty are using the thread for it's intended purpose,  some more abundantly than others. Posting to harass, flame, or otherwise provoke any other user is not acceptable in this thread, or any other thread. Keep it to yourself, or at the very least pm it.

This is not "that one thread where you can say anything you want". Take your nerves elsewhere. People are inherently on edge when they post here, we don't need others escalating things.

This is to some extend an attempt in reducing the number of rage threads, to focus everything on one place the other part of the idea is, that I feel like blowing of some steam myself and this is a good excuse. ;)

To make this work following rules:

1. you can be angry but try to keep tone somewhat civil. The one or other f-bomb doesn't hurt though.

2. Be angry at everything BUT other members. This works when this is a place where you don't judge other people.

3. keep the forum rules in mind, no names and stuff.

So RNG screwed you over? You faced the fifth 100 hp warrior with you favorite deck that's weak against warrior? Undertaker is worse than cancer? Leave the rationality behind you, let the rage flow through you and when you cooled down go back to the rest of the forum or game being relaxed again.

So I'll start with getting my tinfoil had out and hate against my internet provider or the illuminati or anything because god damn! Control Paladin) vs Mage (no clue what kind, secrets, archmage, healbot, freezing but no aoe, double flamestrike). 28 god damn rounds. 28!! back and forth HP bounces up and down and of course one of the MVPs was Cairne which he got through unstable portal. Screw that... Stayed on the board for ages. But anyway, I remove everything, didn't draw in my weapons or muster the whole game but slowly I get it and than the turn, Muster, Hero Power, Quatermaster. One quatermaster in hand. He had no flamestrikes left he was dead, probably no chance of anything. I wonder why he takes so long. Connection loss. After all this brutal grinding, connection gone.

My start today was bad but I started to getting back in this flow, than this game and I was smelling, tasting victory, a huge moral boost and than my ISP, the illuminati, or some divine power thinks it's time to fuck with my internet. Heck he might even DDOS me, who knows!

PS: I'm tethering through my fucking phone to write his...

Flamestrike needs a nerf in Arena, the amount of Mages in Arena is beyond bullshit.

Quote from WNxArcthurus »

Before gvg, I was good at arena (somewhat). I usually hit 9 wins, and even got my first (and only) 12 win key.

Now if I reach 3 wins I'm surprised. 

It usually goes this way: I play as best as I can, I keep in mind what I become vunerable to before making a play, I try to get as much value as I can without being greedy, I make decent drafts, I watch Trump playing arena a lot, etc. Yet somehow, I always end up in a point where the board looks good on my side, but then the opponent goes in with a wombo combo to my face, and suddenly I can't win anymore because I don't have taunts/heal. I had a 1-3 rogue run in wich all my losses were like that.

I just don't know what happened, and it makes me want to give up on arena. But it's the most efficient way of grinding gold, and quests only take too long.

Rush meta happend on arena, it generates more salt than joy. I understand you friend.

A New Legendary Crafting Tier List Has Appeared!

The ratings in the thread are more than my opinion, they are opinions of people I know, myself and popular Steamers such as Trump, Reynad, Sjow, etc. I am ranking the Cards in Tiers/Brackets I am doing this because it is impossible to rate them from 1 to X.

This is not a tier list of the best Legendaries, this is a Crafting Tier list. This list is used to find out which Legendaries to craft and Disenchant. Arena and non-competitive play have no bearing on this list. 

I have arranged the Legendaries this way to not only show their importance in constructed but also to inform readers on how/why they are useful. If you have any questions about the tier list ask them, if you believe the tier list should be changed in any way, PM me.

Remember: If you would like to know what Legendary to craft, please include the decks you play and the decks you are going to play. This is necessary and someone can help you a lot easier.

have you tried switching to a deck thats weak to aggro?

cause matchmaking will give you only aggro decks if you do so

Some achievements related to the pack simulator may not be available during certain times. The plan is to rotate older packs back in at a later date. We'll be sure to update everyone when we do that ;)
