A lot of people are going to disagree but it’s just not worth $20/2800g to me. I’d much rather put that into arena, have more fun, and get more packs.

If I’m sitting at the bottom of rank five trying a new deck sometimes I just let people win, especially if they’re at six trying to get in. Is it just me?

I’m free to play and I don’t like the idea of just “giving” people entire sets. Part of the appeal of a card game is building your collection, and so while I would support heavy discounts on classic and rotated sets, along with more gold to buy them, the idea of just giving them away would ruin a big part of the experience.

It's "a" replacement for Zillax, but it doesnt really fill Z's role. Not much can. He attac, he protec, he charge, he heal, he magnetic, Cairne doesnt do any of those things.

 Divine Spirit, in fact just purge it from the game. OTK decks are pure cancer, with a special emphasis on wall priest.

Every odd warrior needs to choke and die. I don’t care if I lose, but I do care if you waste a fucking hour of my life with your bullshit stall strategy.

Oh nooo, say it’s not so, Blizzurd plz u got to save all the unbearable OTK priest decks. In fact give them even MORE ways counter literally any board and blast 50+ damage with spells or inner fire.

We are talking bout it so Maybe blizzard will listen and get rid of bots. If I want to play bots I will play rumble or dungeon run or the other one not in castor ranked.

 Bud... you’re not going to be playing a bot on any ladder. The whole point is that they’re cheap accounts to grind gold with basic cards, they can’t play competitively. So try again, why are people getting mad about something that they could take advantage of instead?

I know people roll their eyes at this, but I genuinely think the solution isn’t a nerf but creating new cards and new alternatives to Baku and Genn. The reason these cards are “abused” is because people LIKE the idea of their hero powers being useful for a change. That’s the same reason the DKs and other hero cards are always popular, except ofc unlike a DK, Baku and Genn make your power badass from turn one.

But instead of nerfing these two cards why not add some similar alternatives in future releases that change the way hero powers work in different ways? Everyone thinks these cards will be around forever in wild and influence that meta forever... well, maybe not if next expansion we get a no duplicates start of game mage power that does 1dmg lifesteal, or a 1,2,3,4 drop only start of game that gives shamans a new set of totems, or you name it.

It’s fair to gripe about a deck with a 62% win rate but pretending you’re a superior player because you play “hard” decks is just self satisfaction. All decks require some planning and foresight, successfully playing Aggro requires a lot of bluffing and preparation. It takes at least as much skill as a control deck slapping down brawl or mass hysteria over and over or an OTK deck milling a mechathun...

I concede right at start, to any lvl (6, 7, 8) sometimes even repeatedly against same player queueing right back into me. I had opponents with 3 or 4 consecutive gifted wins (at non-peak time). Some thank me, even keep me in friend list and we talk about game from time to time.

Also, I do think and expect that normal people do this as favor (to others and to me), since the grind to the next bracket is already difficult as it is. Conceding at bottom of lvl bracket (5, 10, 15) takes a minute to be a selfless / decent / emphathetic to someone else, who can really appreciate it. And it can save possibly hours to the other player at lvl 6 (11, 16, ...) .

I see a lot of people take it as a die-hard competition. Well, there are also rewards, which I think for quite a lot of people (including me) are the only reason to (sometimes) bother with the grind. If you can't possibly give up a minute for someone to get reward or save a lot of time, I don't get it, but of course it's your choice.

The problem isn't that he is "too slow," after all there are plenty of 8-10 mana cards seeing play right now. Da Undatakah's glaring issue is that for 8 mana he doesn't do anything to impact the board when he's played. Much like Ysera, which sees no play except for in Odd Warrior (because giving up tempo is not such a problem when you have 60hp), if you're paying 7+ mana for a card, it really needs to have an immediate impact (for example Crowd Roaster removes/damages a minion, The Lich King sticks an 8hp wall in the way, Malygos is typically played as part of a game-winning combo, Bloodreaver Gul'Dan summons a bunch of taunt and/or charge minions etc. If your opponent is representing lethal or critical damage and you drop Undatakah, you gon get shafted.

This was the plan all along.  Print two out of control must-haves, lap up the sweet pack sales and then feign ignorance when problems materialize.  They get the sales, they dodge the blame (we are as shocked as you all) and then they get to play Team 5 to the rescue, yet again.  I love the hogwash about nerfing the warrior/paladin - players are too stupid to handle deck slots or card text changes, but we can deal with Trueheart having a different effect than Baku? - okey dokey then.  Also, nice smokescreen printing a couple useless even-odd support cards so they can claim it was part of an overall strategy when they knew those cards would never see play.  

It's 6 mana...you can figure it out alone

Yeah he has turned WoW into a mount/pet shop of a game.

Blizzard has a very stale lineup of games. I am disappointed that they haven't been able to followup WoW with a new MMO to reach similar or greater success it had in 2004-2009.

I have logged thousands of hours into WoW, SC, WC3 and hundreds in Overwatch and Hearthstone and I can say my hopes for Blizzard's future are lower than they have ever been. Each Expansion in WoW has held less attention and HS is the only game I play at this point.

Good ole Bobby Kotick... the gift that keeps on taking..... what a prick

IMO that looks like they are investing in games as a service/online gaming only, because they indeed do not need marketing, just developers that are able to create/copy assets, create more content (remember, more does not equal better) etc. It doesn't look to me like they want to change their current course, they might just abandon regular game releases like Starcraft 2 & Diablo 3 for now, and focus on HS, OW and their remasters because those are generating revenue...

This isn't Blizzard but ACTIVION Blizzard. All that matters is the stock price and that took a dive since Octobre 18 when Blizzcon was already going downhill.

turns out when you have microtransactions that literally print money on their own without much of any work

you don't need employees

The idea is that learning soft skills in a professional setting is much easier to teach than learning how to code.  You are right that excelling at both things is rare; those people generally become managers and there aren't as many of those.

That doesn't mean developers at these companies need to raise their Charisma score to 20 to be successful, it just means they need to write unit tests for their code and learn how to write user stories for the work they do and maybe take social media training.   It's not that big of an ask.
