TuesdayTaco posted a message on New Neutral Legendary Card Revealed - The JailerPosted in: NewsYeah, this card's a glass cannon.
Immune only means that cards cannot be targeted or receive damage. Basically put, a Priest whips out Whirlpool, Warlock uses Gigafin and sacrifices the appendage, or a Mage in Wild whips out The Amazing Reno, it doesn't matter if you have this and Mal'ganis out, you are going to be fucked over. Also keep in mind Mutanus can snip him out of the hand.

BroF1sT posted a message on A Brief Video Overview of The New Hearthstone Mercenaries Game ModePosted in: Newslooks like Blizzard now actively sending Votebots our way now at Hearthpwn, all I see here about Mercs are negative comments and (RIGHTFULLY) scepticism, Yet they all get downvoted for some obscure reason, when everyone quite OBVIOUSLY isn't happy with Greedzard's direction.
You can't make us nor force us to like something that looks like it's coming straight from the 1993 SNES era.

XanKortal posted a message on Wait, people GENUINELY think the game is rigged?Posted in: General DiscussionSo how do the same players consistently get to the top of legend every month? Or how do GM players consistently perform at a high level? They're immune to the rigging or something?
Because the algorithms utilized probably don't really care about the top players, as far as sales are concerned.
I've talked about Acti-Blizzard in the past, and how they own a patent for utilizing matchmaking to drive microtransaction sales - and it does so specifically by analyzing psyche profiles (every action in game, from random clicks to mulligan choices are tracked) by matching veteran players with less experienced players, in order to incentivize the less experienced players to buy products they may want.
It's not much of a stretch to say that HSreplay might not be able to track such things because of incomplete information pertaining to those psyche profiles, and that individual players might have their matchups tweaked with to drive sales, in such a way that also happens to line up with wins/losses being skewed positively or some people, and negatively for others, and the whole thing comes out as net neutral in aggregate.
Put another way: It's not necessarily rigging for/against a particular person's winrates, but may be putting greater weight on certain matchups to drive sales independently of what the winrate is for that player.
For reference, the patent in question:

MintMurderMedia posted a message on Patch 21.3 Is Coming On Tuesday - Constructed & Battlegrounds Balance ChangesPosted in: NewsMy recommend changes. I'm no pro by the way
Hunter Quest requires more spells per questline
Warlock Quest increases required damage but gains more lifesteal.
I wouldn't be against banning that draw cards costs health demon. Not that its personally caused me issues. Some of you have said you hate it.
I think Rogues quest legendary should also permanently give you a card once per turn. Seems slow.
