Every fucking game, mage mage mage mage, fuck off with that bullshit

 I've had my salty moments in this game since beta but this post just sums up my sentiment directly.  I just got burst down from 30 to zero in one turn.  And the deck I was piloting was supposed to have a high win rate against it.  And it's enough to make me uninstall the game.  For now at least,, I've had enough.  Maybe the skillcap is too much for me, maybe I need to learn the meta more.  Fuck knows.  But I don't think I'm prepared to invest anymore time in the game in its current state.

Hope you all have a better experience than me with this expansion.

 Yeah had the same experience against the majority of mages I’ve faced. Different today though. Playing big warrior and only got Pallas. I swear they could not curve better if they tried. Spoon fed even. I i stabilised in one game after captain curvestone ran out of juice, only to top deck two consecrations. One two kill my two 10/1 minions and the second to give him lethal. Amazing really

A major issue, in my opinion, is how Blizzard markets the game. They push the line that it’s a skill-testing competitive esport. So, when try hard players get screwed over by RNG, and lose to worse players, it feels really bad.

On top of that, the game is extremely expensive. If you have spent hundreds of dollars on your decks, but are still losing to bad RNG, it feels even worse.

The fact is, Hearthstone is not a real esport, it is really an extremely high variance game which is designed for casual fun. If you play perfectly, you will still lose 30%+ games. If you view the game as casual fun, and probably don’t spend money on it, it becomes much more enjoyable and less toxic. Don’t take Hearthstone too seriously.

 I’ve learnt to do this over the years of playing. Otherwise you just become so pissed off at the game. The amount of games I’ve lost to absolute bullshit is unreal, especially as I’ve spent a lot of money down the years. losing to RNG and generally bad players used to burn. Now I just move on to the next game. Yet sometimes it still gets to me, pocket galaxy right now is a joke, a combo card that needs to no thought, play it on 4-5 reap benefits. At least patron warrior etc needed some thinking 

5 losses in a row..... hunter. To literally the same way. Hynena. Lyon twice, plus hogger. 14 attack by round 5 well done 

The normal hello to start (some even find that BM) but I only really BM if they are being spammy wankers or think they have won so emote non stop. Then when the tables have turned I have a field day! :) 

Arena right now is a fucking joke. Got 12 wins around ten times, and right now I’m lucky to get past 4 wins. Everyone now has insane decks, no tactics just spew what cards you have on the board. No tactics what so ever. I thought the whole point of arena was to have a equal playing field??

Do all hunters have rexxer on turn 6? Then every single beast they create also perfect? Poison with rush to clear threats, lifesteal rush for hp gain, and taunts to stall? Unbelievable 

Did you just compare hearthstone to chess? Funniest thing I’ve heard all day.

It's so pathetic how lucky those with gold heroes are in arena.  Always have amazing pulls and get the luckiest game-saving top decks, just one example: 

I was a 7 life, I had knocked him to 2 life and had 2 of the 4/5 taunts (that heal you 5 when they die) on the field vs his nothing. He has no cards in hand. He draws the 2 cost spell that discovers a spell which costs 2 less...of course, he gets a pyroblast.   

This kind of crap is not a rare occurrence either, sadly they're pretty shameless about it.

 

Ouch. Same happened to me basically. Full body of 2/6 taunts on board from spreading plague, buffed by lich king anti body spell. He he can’t get through my taunts has no cards in hand, lethal next turn. Top decks discover a spell reduce its cost by 5. Pyroblast of course :) instantly starts BM. 

Does this game deliberately match you with the decks that counter yours? every time I change one I meet it’s perfect counter. Every single time.
