    I don't think it should be removed, it's effect is so elementary to BG.

    Maybe moving it to Tier 6 would bei helpful, idk.

    I played vs. bunnyhoppor in Duels once.

    And of course I managed to misplay and make a fool of myself on his stream. ^^;

    posted a message on Why does the "Corrupt" keyword work like this?

    Power (like say, a more expensive, more powerful card) corrupts everything (proverbially)

    That's afaik the official reason.

    Quote from Jennifer >>

    For bad players to win a significant portion of games, RNG has to play a significant role in determining the outcome of games.

    Or you could just match the bad players with each other, which is exactly what blizzard is doing with MMR.

    posted a message on After Seeing The Growth of Pokemon Cards, Buying Digital HS Cards seems STUPID

    Why would you BUY Hearthstone cards expecting to be able to SELL them?

     Nobody said that I expect to sell them. Just saying, it would be nice to create some form of value for the people who invest in the game

    Problem is IMO: that same value for people who invest in this game is a huge barrier of entry for people who haven't invested on this game. That's why I prefer the hearthstone model of accessibility.

    I have a fairly full HS collection, for a tiny fraction of the price for a full MtG collection for example.

    posted a message on Randomonium is This Week's Tavern Brawl

    So why do you need 5-7 games, and I win more than 70% of the games? I wonder why I am so "lucky" in an "all RNG"-brawl.

    Oh wait, maybe it's all the horrible misplays from my opponents. Could be a possibility...

    At the first glance, I feel there was some mild unnerfing done in the middle part of Jaina's adventure. But I haven't done fully accurate comparisons.

    posted a message on Legendaries should not be discoverable

    I can somewhat understand the premise.

    Legendaries are balanced around the fact that they usually will be played only once per game. So discovering them multiple times kinda breaks a core aspect of the game in a sense.

    OTOH discovering legendaries is great for FTP players as already mentioned, and is fun (IMO).

    Since Year of the Phoenix all cards from all rarities have duplicate protections, which was a great improvement.

    posted a message on Sugestion: The Coin

    I just looked at the stats (hsreplay.net, premium) on how much decks win when going first or second. More specifically I looked at some of the most popular deck types: stealth rogue, face hunter, libram paladin and survival druid.  The winrate for each of those deck is quite a few percent LOWER when going second (with a COIN), even though quite some of these decks use combo or spellburst cards.

    This proposed coin nerf pops up all the time, even though there (nearly) never was a time in HS when there existed a deck that prefered to go second.

    Quote from aposteljoe >>
    Quote from Mikiblabla90 >>

    Long story short: money. If they release it at the same time less peole would buy it

     But it's free...

    If it's free it's the other way around. A lesson they learned at the release of Kobolds and Catacombs. The free Dungeon Run stopped ppl from playing standard and buying packs.

    posted a message on New MMR is screwing me over!

     

    Quote from csguba >>
    Quote from Magier1 >>

    Tank your MMR enough so that you can farm worse players for 15 extra wins to reach legend. All other approaches will leave you with a ≈50% winrate and you will stay at Diamond 5 forever.

    Why would all other approaches leave you at 50%?

    The goal of a MMR is to leave players at 50% winrate. To reach legend you have to outperform yourself for a stretch of games, if MMR would be the only way to decide Matchmaking.

    Then, if you already played very well into Diamond 5 you'll find yourself against a wall, because if you already played to the best of your abilities you can't get better, but get matched up against similarly good players from legend ranks. This would leave you with a 50% winrate and thus at Diamond 5.

    You basically have two options to reach Diamond 5 in a total MMR scenario:

    1. Play somewhat sloppily to diamond 5, then increase your game: counter the meta, play to the best of your abilities, etc.. This way you might get a stretch of wins, to reach legend ranks.

    2. Reach diamond 5, then tank your MMR rating and then try to reach legend from there.

    In both scenarios you have to play a stretch of games with a skill above your perceived MMR rating. I sincerely hope that Blizzard kept that in mind when designing the new ranked system.
