Hearthpwn

Someone needs their lunch money taken away for that one.  I mean, WTF?

Look at that! Ha! I'm basically Medivh.

Great brawl!  Lots of fun and I love the 'story' of finding the heroes.  

Considering how much value I got out of Rise of Shadow's content (I finally beat the last heroic just this past week), I'm very excited for this.  The formula works for me!

Don't see an official post for it yet, so go crazy.  Link is to Blizzard's page on the latest nerfs.

Blizzard post.

I'm totally cool with bundles containing old expansions, after all it's a great way to help people catch up and flesh out their collections, but I wish they severely discounted the older cards.  I get that a $1 per pack is already a discount, but I'm talking $.50 per pack for older expansions.  $15 for this bundle makes more sense.  

Some sad (but understandable) news today - Willie "Dills" Gregory is leaving The Angry Chicken, one of the finest and angriest Hearthstone podcasts available.  Dills has been entertaining us for years as one of the three hosts of the weekly podcast in addition to his time as a fairly regular streamer.  I've always really enjoyed listening to his brand of analysis on the show and he's been a solid guy to follow on social media, too.

Dills made the announcement that he's leaving the show to focus on his own personal well-being as he, like many other streamers and over-stressed content creators, are finding it tougher and tougher to keep any kind of balance in their lives and are increasingly fighting depression and other mental challenges.  Folks, I sincerely hope you all take his struggles to heart and send him nothing but well-wishes and love.  I'm real happy to see him making a positive change for himself and hope it works out.  

The final Dills episode of The Angry Chicken.

It will likely take me months to stop reflexively typing 'HEA-' into my url bar.  Hearthpwn has been a daily visit for me (usually multiple times) for years.  

Thanks for all of the hard work.  You guys did a tremendous job!  

Favorite memory - keeping the MILFHunter deck at 69 likes for several straight weeks.  That was the tightest I've ever seen this community.  

We're going to see a lot of murlocs this brawl...  a lot of murlocs.  

This is incredibly encouraging!  Card buffs have the potential to impact the meta just as much as nerfs - and a new free legendary!  Great job, Blizz.  I don't even think the general Hearthpwn community can find too much to bitch about here (although I'm sure I'll be proven wrong).

shaman have been dropping and dropping since the new xpack... its under 60% win rate now if there let it stay it will be at 55% in 1 week

 Even if that were true, 55% winrate is still way too high. 

 What are you talking about? There has been a 58-60%+ winrate deck every expansion for the history of hearthstone dude

Yes and no.  Yes: at any given day in HS history, there was a deck indicating > 55% winrate on HsReplay.  But No because those winrate numbers belay how disgustingly overpowered that deck is.  Go to https://hsreplay.net/archetypes/346/galakrond-shaman#tab=matchups and look at those numbers.  It's "only" 59% winrate average, but its > 50% on every archetype besides Holy Wrath Paladin and between 60-75% winrate on most.  So many new and fun archetypes are just being annihilated by this stupid deck.  Usually the decks that peak above 55% do so because they find an advantage against the most popular decks, and then other players find out and copy until it eventually pushes out the vulnerable decks.  Here, though, EVERY deck (besides HW Pally) is vulnerable.  That 55% number isn't the peak--it's the valley.

Rerolling 10 times for a triple is a bad play. 

Should be $14.99.

What's the point of having a thread like this every week?

 What’s the point of playing video games?

Just keep Flux. He is the soul of this site

Something is wrong with Hybrid Warrior deck. There are Common cards in it /s

Craft Alex. It's a safe craft since she's the classic set and very versatile. Khalegos it's too slow for the deck. I don't use it in my deck. Morph shaman it's almost auto loose.

I was waiting for something interesting, but this whole theme just continues to be generic and underwhelming. Hopefully the content is fun, if nothing else.

You lot will moan at every bloody thing, won't you?

'Waiting' were you? What for? What was your great expectation from this, a small cinematic clip for some pve content in a digital card game? Why don't you wash the dorito dust off your hands and elaborate on what you would have liked, instead of acting like a snotty child?

What do you mean by generic? Do you know what the word means?

I liked it to be honest. It's a 2 minute bit of fun. It followed the theme of the expansion and along with the others that will be released over the year, will tell a little story of how it all plays out. 

Not gonna lie: it looks really promising
