Reason Regis gave up his spot: Doesn't want to hold an opportunity from someone who might actually need or deserve it.
Person who gets the spot: Successful influencer that was chosen based on gender.
Forcing "representation & inclusivity" in a community that is inherently NOT demographically balanced will actually prevent the people who deserve opportunities from getting them. And you're just kidding yourself if you think Blizzard or social infliencers care about who "NEEDS" opportunities.

LOL, Look at all the people gatekeeping other players getting a dust refund. Why do you care so much if players get refunded for a card that got nerfed? It doesn't affect you.
2
There's a good argument for both sides with a card with such specific text that it only synergizes with the exact cards that are being nerfed. I think it would be fair and maybe a gesture of goodwill for blizz to refund kargal for full dust, but for the consistency of the game I can also understand why they're probably not going to.

I think Bliz really should refund this card because 2/3 of the cards that play off him got nerfed and unlike other synergies this is a very direct, forced and narrow synergy.
I also think not giving a refund sends a bad message to new players who are not aware of how risky it is to craft cards early in an expansion. Beyond catching new players offguard such practice discourages players of all kinds from experimenting with cards early in expansions when things are meant to be most exciting

Imagine being against this and siding with multimillion company's monetization strategy lol.

Let's raise our Voices and don't let them get away with this backdoor scam, everyone who crafted Kargal is left empty handed with an unplayable Watchposts Package and less Dust in the account. The game isn't cheap as it is, we can't afford to waste Dust on unplayable Legendarys. Kargal Battlescar was very playable until the Nerfs, and nobody wanted him to get nerfed, but that's what they just did.

Quote from DeafKnight >>Warlock removal and disruption is the whole point of the archetype and is supposed to be like that.
Seriously, if your deck can't win if it loses one or two key cards then the problem is your deck, not the opponent.
There's an old proverb about eggs and baskets that applies quite nicely here...
You can literally make that argument for any deck at all, "Oh the RNG of Deck of Lunacy is the whole point of the archetype" the card is put in the deck for a reason so why you complaining when the reason its there actually works right?, People are'nt putting it in their decks for the lols of it they have build a deck purely around Deck of Lunacy, They avoid 5 drop spells because 8 drop spells are dreadful, They put in 3-4 7 drop spells because they want Nagrand Slam, They stack 3 and 4 drop spells because they give 6 and 7 drop spells which are largely mass card draw and mass AoE spells, The whole point of that archetype is built to get the most out of Deck of Lunacy, Its supposed to be like that.
Pen Flinger, Rogue and Paladin build their decks around that card, That is the pure archetype of that deck to take advantage of Pen Flinger as much as possible, Why people complaining about it, Its supposed to be like that.
You can literally make the "Its the archetype its supposed to be like that" for literally any deck in the game because they are built to a archetype so obviously that is how the deck is supposed to play that does'nt mean its not a problem, Look back at previous decks that have been dominant in the past, Machine gun priest, Quest rogue, All of them have had the archetype they will build to and all of them did what they were supposed to be doing the problem was they did it way too good and that is the same as Tickatus, It does what it does but it does it to a level that no other deck can even consider playing a control archetype.

"it looks boring", "everyone will get tired of it"
You know you people don't have to play the mode right?

None of these decks look very exciting.
And what is exciting for you then? Infinite value? Tons of random-generated cards? DH hero power? What?

Honestly the game would probably have to go back into Beta for nerfing cards to have any real effect. The variance between powerful and poor cards is far greater now than a few years ago (excluding pack fillers), and there are many powerful cards. Fixing one issue will likely just lead to another.
Maybe sideboards could help? But that's a topic for more experienced card players to discuss.

People choose to play aggro because aggro decks are fast, easy to play and powerful.
Tick or no Tick, aggro would be abundant on ladder.

Your interactions with people in this thread make you look jealous and spiteful. I’m not sure what you were trying to achieve?
Well done to the OP anyway, getting legend with Control Warlock is very impressive.
3
Tick is too slow to beat combo decks consistently if the player knows the match up. The main combo decks are Demon Hunter and Hunter and both have an above 70% win rate against Control Warlock at top 1000 Legend.
Like PetiteMouche has said the rock paper scissors of old no longer exists. The amount of cheap/free card draw and generation means control can no longer win the value game.

Your ability to assume the character of the person you are debating with is not as good as what you think.
The offer to answer the original question, “how the DoL experience is the same?”, still stands.
1
I agree that control is in a bad place, I’ve said it many times on this forum. I disagree a lot of recent design choices from Blizzard.
This thread is about DoL and how the experience of the card apparently remains the same. This is demonstrably false
If you have issues with the game and want to express them it makes more sense to do so in the correct threads and within the right conversations.

Just answer his question for gods sake lol.
it’s a very simple question, “How is the DoL experience the same?”, and any answer you give can be easily supported by data from sites such as HSReplay.

People need to understand that there are different types of players who enjoy the game in different ways. And catering to each of those is necessary. The overused but relevant Spike/Johnny/Timmy trio MTG famously use.
The players who respond with “just play a new deck” are likely Spikes. The players who cannot understand the enjoyment in playing Face Hunter are likely Timmy/Johnny..

I’ve seen the card once since the nerf where as before I saw it every other game just about. I play meme decks at D5 so I’m not rushing face damage either. No Minion Mage is still a strong deck, just not because of DoL.

We’re all jealous of Brian Kibler, mate. It’s not just you, don’t worry.
