BravoTeam posted a message on Where is your integrity?Posted in: General DiscussionHearthstone is a game people play for fun. Many people have different ways of having fun. I have fun playing homebrew meme decks for the first month of an expansion, and then grinding some form of midrange Paladin as high up the ladder as it'll take me, - whether we're in Scholomance and Midrange Paladin is the best deck and easy Legend, or we're in Descent of Dragons and Paladin is nigh unplayable, it's just the form of gameplay I enjoy most in this game. Some people have fun trying to maximize their winrate at all costs. None of these are less valid or "honourable", especially not in a game which provides the tools to minmax and focuses on a mode that's all about getting your winrate as high as possible as fast as possible each month. You may not like it (and I certainly don't), but not queueing Mage or Paladin right now is unironically a misplay, it's something you do that lowers your winrate. If you're trying to win as many games as possible, which is what Ranked is all about, not playing Mage or Paladin is the wrong move. Most importantly: None of this actually matters. Hearthstone is a game, it's not important. Let people come back from their shitty day at work and play a videogame the way they want for the few hours of day where they're allowed to do what they want. Them wanting to win isn't a moral failing. Get over yourself.
The archery example isn't even applicable here. I've seen the clip you're on about, and they're both clearly using expensive bows. What you're doing is showing up with a rubber band that you've wrapped around the edge of a bent toothpick and throwing a tantrum when the other guy hasn't done the same thing. Having a good bow is as much a part of their preparation as learning to aim. Sportsmanship and integrity isn't kneecapping yourself in order to be on the same level as an opponent who's clearly done worse prepwork than you (by bringing a meme deck to ladder when you're playing a top-tier optimized deck). In the case of the archery clip, it's avoiding punishing your opponent for something that was out of their control. Someone else in this thread brought up a much better comparison - skipping your turn after your opponent AFKs or DCs for theirs.

Cancel culture seeping into video games, great.
I dont think you understand cancel culture

I really hope this is satire. Like, it has to be satire, right?

The Nitroboost nerf was definitely necessary regardless of how strong Stealth Rogue is. The card was just way to efficient and broken in every Rogue deck (and I say that as someone who only plays Rogue).

Curving Sword Eater into this seems really good and probably enough to just beat aggro on the spot.
