You are bang on Slyde. I have recently returned to HS after about a year and have no fucking idea what I'm looking at when I go through my collection - random duplicates and golden legendaries, it's a mess.
Fun concept and the Scholomance cards make it way easier, only issue is that Scavenger's Ingenuity draws Phasestalker literally every single time. Also tracking tends to present with several cards you need for the combo...
Priest, Hunter and Shaman quests should also fall to Tier 3, if not 4. You may still find some Ress Priests at very low levels, but Gala or Highlander Priest are the archetypes to go for the class. Shaman is dead (the same reason to also demote Vessina) and no one is also playing Quest Hunter. Amet as well should drop to 3. It's not played even in HL Priest.P
Tier 3
Believe it or not, the Warlock Quest is all the rage right now in Grandmasters and high legend with a build including both Alexes and Malygos to OTK. At the very least it's a Tier 2 card now, with potential to be 1.
These are all pretty good comments but I've seen a lot of Quest Priests on the ladder recently, I think it should stay were it is. Agree with the rest however.
A: Since each player starts at the bottom of the ladder at start, we want fair matches for everyone (aka. win-rate close to 50%)."
First, nice work on trying to prove your point but the game developers are on record saying they want a win-rate close to 50% for everyone. They didn't elaborate on what that means (perhaps they will at some point in the future) but it's quite an odd statement.
The answer to your question is in blizzard s way to keep a "50%-50%" chance to all players.. if u re loosing too much,they raise your Luck factor... or give u good matchups ... if u re winning more than 50% , they lower the luck factor or give u bad matchups . Is no secret .. as there is no randomness that a computer can understand. Any "random" effect of a machine is actually just an algorithm ... and there isnt a smart enough person out there to sort this out yet.so "random opponents" is blizzards job to chose one for you .
Yup. They are on record stating they want all players to have a 50/50 winrate and that the new MMR is part of this. We don’t know the full details but and it’s hard to say how they manipulating the game (opponents, cards, rng) but I think it’s naive to believe that there isn’t something fishy going on. For me the new MMR has completely ruined this game unfortunately.
All i have to say to all of you sad souls who still play this shit...
WELCOME TO LEGENDS OF RUNETERRA
Seriously, the game is very good, I would highly recommend it if youre tired of HS and its RNG bullshit
I just need a way to sell my account lol. But yeah, clearly time to explore other options, Legends or Magic look ok. At this point anything would be better to the steaming pile of shit HS has become.
The game is a steaming pile of shit these days, no doubt about it.
At this point skill is completely irrelevant as all the algorithms have determined a 50% winrate for all players is the best way to make money, and this we get rng clown fiesta game in and game out.
DH was an absolute shitshow that they have finally sorted out. It’s the MMR folks and their STATED goal of having all players win rate at 50%. What a way to lose customers and ruin a game that was already on the decline. Take your algorithms and shove them up your ass you idiotic Blizzard fucks.
This MMR is awful, the game feels substantially and qualitatively wrong at this point. Can’t quite put my finger on it but this has been far worse than the DH shitshow. When this game is over and done with you can point to this manipulative and disingenuous MMR as the reason. Very cynical and disgusting approach to Blizzard’s loyal customers.

Yup. Always thought they should buff Mayor's stats as well - he should have a 7/6 statline imo.

Hey SlydE
I'd like to suggest moving Grand Totem Eys'or, Lothraxion and Speaker Gidra to Tier 3 as they don't seem to be played much at the moment.

Any meta where Facehunter is the best or 2nd best deck in the meta is shit.

Just make one of the random totems a 1/2 monkey with taunt and call it a day.

Why would it? The effect is to re-order the cards in your deck. I don't know for sure but it wouldn't make any sense to do so.

In four years I have never seen so many pissed and unhappy players. The game is a joke at this point.
