Hearthpwn

If you add a tech card to your deck you stop seeing decks that you're teched against anyway.

I lost to a guy playing Jade Druid so I added him for a rematch. He played Quest Mage and I played a control lock. I Gnomeferatu'd his Archmage on turn 2. He instantly conceded.

 Sorry if an announcement was posted about this already or something, but when are all the card sounds going to be added to the KaC pages?

This is my third time, but it's only until Finals are over.

Warsong must never be unnerfed.

I'm done. I'm quitting HS.

Blizzard seems to have a clear approach to Hearthstone. Anyone can use/abuse simple decks to get high legend. Anyone. All you need is the deck and experience. And despite the rise of decks that have a way off difficulty-succes ratio (razakus priest, jade druid) Blizzard consistently fails to solve this problem. In the past I've always assumed that was Blizzards fault, but now I know better. They deliberately choose to not fix these decks.

And why not? That's very simple, because the average HS player enjoys them. Does the average HS player care in the slightest bit about which deck they are using, or how this influences their ladder opponents? No, all they care about hitting that rank -whether it be 10, 5, legend or legend #x- to get that sense of accomplishment they lack in life, even if they consciously or subconsciously know they don't deserve it.

As a small piece of proof, all you have to look at is the average HS pro. Is the average HS pro capable of expert calculations in a short span of time? Does the average HS pro seem to be incredibly intelligent? No, on the contrary, the majority of them seem to be average people because they are. A lot of them are average people who just so happen to dedicate a lot of time to HS, which results in - you guessed it - experience.

In theory, the main skill required for HS is mathematics, with ofcourse the main task being calculating probabilities. In practice, the skill is divided into about a 90-10 ratio, consisting of experience - intelligence. I am thoroughly convinced there have been plenty of metas in which a person who is borderline legally ******** could've hit legend, and that's not an exaggeration.

But hey, Blizzard has a clear strategy and a lot of people seem to be getting joy off that strategy. To what extent, can I complain about that? Perhaps it's simply my fault for misinterpreting the core of Hearthstone. Blizzard makes money, people enjoy. Simple as that.

Without further ado, I'm officially quitting Hearthstone. I might drop by the fora occassionally, I might take another look at the game when the next expansions drops. And who knows, maybe some incredibly difficult but highly rewarding deck gets discovered, but I highly doubt it.

 

I opened an Aluneth in a pack but I'm too scared to add it to a deck.

I just had a match where the guy didn't attack once, even though he had a full board of evolved minions several different times. He would just build a board then kill them himself and start over; I was so confused. He completely let me win, but he kept it going all the way to fatigue! It was definitely the strangest match I've ever had in Hearthstone.

What are some weird matches you guys have had?

40 packs. 4 diff legendary weapons, that's it.

I would have traded the Banshee into the dragon to protect my taunt a little longer. May have swung the game a little.

You are so bad. You should attack the 1/2 taunt on turn 3. That is a huge tempo loss

Quote from DreamHulk >>

The same like Unearthed Raptor or Moat Lurker work if they don't have a target. Don't forget these are not deathrattle minions. These are battlecry minions and if the battlecry has nothing to target, there ain't be any deathrattle neither.

Veeery nice golden animation.

Yeah I'm honestly not worried even if Priest does become the Hearthstone killer that everyone is losing their minds about.

I'm free to play every expansion. Rent is expensive.
