Why did they remove classic mode then? That needed literally 0 maintenance just like Mercenaries. Nice consistency in their logic.

The sets that you can get are fixed, and the corresponding symbols are on the packs I believe

I assume that with sniped you mean that your key minions got targeted as the first minion. If you instead only looked at games where your key minion DIED as the first minion, then your conclusion is flawed as it usually has the fewest health and can thus die more easily.

This can even be used as an alternative explanation of your key minions being targeted more often, namely that lower health minions have a higher chance of being targeted. They might have added this to mimic that it usually is better to target minions which you can actually kill, so that the random targeting is a bit smarter, but yeah this is just another conjecture. Still, very interesting data you collected although you cannot conclude what you want to conclude with it.

Why do they keep printing cards that cost 0 mana if the game lasts long enough? I don't get it

Boring card design. When will they stop printing 0 mana cards under some condition that will always be met if a game lasts long enough

No, but for consistency there is really no reason to not make them 10 mana. The old gods and deathwing for example were 10 mana because they are some of the strongest creatures from WoW, and the titans are supposed to be on another power level above them. So seeing them as 6 mana 4/4 minions does seem very odd to me indeed, not doing them justice at all. Of course for gameplay reasons it would probably not be a good idea to make them all 10 mana, but you have to agree that it doesn't make any sense lore wise

Why aren't all titans 10 mana? Aren't they supposed to be bigger than planets? Or maybe I misunderstood that

Imo Guff is the problem. Having 20 mana every turn is just too much to deal with for every other deck

Why would roping be a problem to begin with? You have a certain amount of time per turn to think, why not use all of it? Even with no mana left you can think about the next turn. Lifecoach did exactly this and he was one of the best HS players back in the day. 

I'm actually scared af for the report button for "Inappropriate gameplay".. As there is literally nothing I can think of that would actually be worth banning someone for. You actually have a certain amount of time per turn to think.. So roping can't be a reason to ban someone. BMing is also no problem as people can actually miss lethal and realize later in the same turn that they had lethal to finish the opponent in the next turn. Spamming or memeing emotes also shouldn't be a problem as you can just mute the opponent. Playing really poorly also can't be a problem, as some people just aren't very good, or perhaps are beginners playing on someone else's account. Dragging out the game until fatigue also can't be a reason to ban someone, as that is literally the win condition of some decks. Making lots of unnecessary actions to complete a quest also shouldn't be a reason, nor playing meme decks as many people actually love playing those.

So yeah I'm actually clueless what inappropriate gameplay can even mean, and what a successful and intended report here could be. Anyone have any ideas? 

The reason I'm scared af about this is that salty opponents may just report you after they lost, and with how big Hearthstone is there is NO WAY that all reports are checked by a human. What if you face 5 salty opponents on a day and they all ban you for the reason "inappropriate gameplay"? It may actually be very realistic that you just get autobanned then!

What's the point of this? Confusing players to spend more money because it feels like they're using an ingame currency?

I think diamond cards are great, although I think that there is more potential for them than just legendaries. For example also other rarities would look cool as diamond cards. Here are some other ideas regarding diamond cards:

- I like how diamond Loatheb was given for free when you have the entire naxxramas collection. I hope you're doing the same for other adventures and expansions. For blackrock mountain I'd suggest the legendary to be emperor thaurissan, as it saw/sees the most play compared to other legendaries from that adventure. 

- Perhaps also have 1 diamond common, diamond rare and diamond epic given out for free when you respectively own all commons, rares or epics of an expansion (maybe also for adventures)? That way you give additional goals for players to collect all the cards in an expansion, plus it enlarges the total number of diamond cards which can be collected. 

- Maybe also consider diamond heroes in the future, for example when a player has 1500 wins with a class? As time goes on more and more players will have 1500+ wins with a class they mainly play, so some additional reward would be cool imo. Instead of it being forced like golden heroes I think it should be added as an option between gold and diamond as not everyone may be a fan of them. 

Another suggestion (unrelated to diamond cards) I have is to add the toggle favorite option for heroes and coins too instead of just for card backs. I love this feature for card backs but I'd love to also use it for my heroes in particular as I'm already on an average of 5 heroes per class. I hope I gave you some interesting ideas! 

What's wrong with Golakka Glutton in arena? I drafted it a few days ago and got only 4 wins BabyRage 

I also disenchanted some of the naxx cards some months ago but as I did own the complete set before that I still got diamond loatheb. So I guess a bug, or you never owned the complete naxx collection

Scared af for the report system.. what happens if someone loses to you, gets mad and reports you on 4 different accounts? With the large playerbase there is no way that the reports will be handled manually, so the fact that people can make multiple accounts alone makes this so scary. If you would get banned in such a way, then I also don't see any way how you would be able to appeal simply because of the large playerbase, why would blizzard care about some random person? I also don't like that they didn't mention any possible consequences for getting reported, which makes me assume the worst: no timeouts but straight up permabans. Hope I'm wrong
