One albatross should get a beast tag but the other albatross gets a demon tag (that one has red eyes). Problem solved.

Equality nerf happend :(

That is what.

 Yup.  That was a weird nerf out of nowhere that really screwed the class imo.  

Yeah I tried this - this is the third deck I’ve tried that claims to be a counter. Still got smoked lol. 

I tried res priest, beat one and then barely lost two. Very tough to beat.

That fact the Lord J was once an OP meta card to the disgraced place he's in now just goes to show the insane amount of power creep Hearthstone has suffered.

This is one of my favourite cards and I did the legend lock climb back in the day he was good. Honestly, the issue isn't Lord J is bad, it's that paper creep and instant counters have been created to the enth degree, making him all but unplayable. While some cards need to get HoF to make room Jarax is on the other end of the scale.

The best way to fix him isn't buff him or "fix" the interaction. It's to balance power levels in new expansions better. Don't flood decks with discovery mechanics and RNG get of jail mechanics. I believe it's commonly agreed on that hero cards are OP and usually some what broken, these are the best examples of gone too far. Now because of 20+ damage combos from hand power creep, Jarax is just a liability at best.

I wish it weren't so, but I don't feel a change is necessary either. Guldan HC pretty much outvalues and has a better HP than Jaraxx will ever have in wild. And he could naturally rotate back into meta in standard as current expansions rotate out.

Just curious, what was a good LJ deck back in the day? I've been playing since about June 2016 and I don't remember a single time that Jaraxxus was ever in the meta...tbh I've hardly faced him at all in playing for 4 years.  Whereas every other Classic Legendary has been in meta at some point or another in my experience (Cenarius only recently with Quest Druid, but still).  

Shudderwock. Rot in hell.

Apart from this MMR debate - been playing for 5 days now and this is brutal. I have always fairly easily reached rank 5 previously and thought I would try to make legend for the classic legendary this season.

Raced up to gold 5 easily and thought this was great at first. Now stuck at Platinum 5 which already feels like the previous rank 5 to legend grind (ie one win, one loss and getting nowhere).  This could be due to this meta not being for me, or just not being great at any of the current top decks but as I’ve said I’ve never really had issues hitting 5 before (have hit legendary on one occasion). 

Not sure if I will continue playing ranked further as this has been an incredibly frustrating and boring experience pretty much as soon as I hit Platinum 5 and lost my stars. Frankly I think this new system is a steaming pile of dog shit. 

 Do you still have a star bonus? The new system is pretty clearly set up to cater to players who consistently hit rank 5 plus / have high enough mmr to get at least the plus 9 star bonus. If you don't have that it's essentially as grindy if not more so than the pre-2018 setup. So far as I can tell they're attempting to further incentivize players to spend more time playing relative to the prior ranking system, but the new system is needless to say relatively punishing for players who don't have particularly high mmr / have not achieved high rank in the season prior. 

No I started with a star bonus of 8, definitely finding it far, far more grindy and frustrating than the previous system.  Although I thought it would be faster to hit legend  (15 stars away from Diamond 5 vs the 25 from the old rank 5) but after losing my stars at Platinum 5 I’m having probably the worst experience I’ve ever had playing Hearthstone (been playing for almost 4 years now)  

Tried to ladder a bit today and was closer than ever to deleting the game. This is complete and utter shit.

Of course I won this with my pre-order.  Sigh.  

Waiting to see if there will be a contest for a free pre-order, if not I will buy the cheaper option.  

Test Subject, Quartz Elemental and Reckless Experimenter. I swear, every god damn time I invoke Galakrond, it always those three minions.

I had 3 Reckless Experimenter on the same game.

I will not miss you at all. Good bye, never come back.

With this "50% winrate" policy the grind can be much worse. In my opinion it becomes more rng dependable (card draw and dice roll for facing a better/worse archetype against our deck)

Highwayman I agree with you - until you have stars things go fluently but after loosing the bonus - it's much worse grind than from 5 to legend (despite the now 3 star range between ranks). And it is much more frustrating.

Starting with this "50% winrate" bullshit policy means that the game result comes mostly to:

- rock, paper, scissors decks archetype lottery

- rng card draw

If you're playing Ranked for fun or intrigue then you're already doing Hearthstone wrong.

This is the saddest statement I've read for a long time... 

Sure, playing a cardgame in your free time can't honestly meant to be fun. Playing HS with grimness and ill ambition will surely make people grow up and save society!  😉

Got day one legend with token Druid. It’s performing really well right now, especially if you don’t find yourself running into too many mech paladins
