ill try to answer... only difference between the players that consistently hit Legend and the players stuck at rank 25, is.......the amount of time they invest - spent - waste - lose - entertain their self - have fun playing that game.............so 14-15 times legend, only means that this guy played literally thousands more games-hours than a casual 25-20 rank ''bad'' player.
Yeah - thats mostly it. There are tons of decks that can maintain 51% win rates but the amount of games required is just brutal. Plus, how "fun" is it? Just win one, lose one, win one, lose one. Totally random and very matchup dependent. Wins dont feel earned and losses cause rage. Its too bad - they are sucking the fun out of this game....slowly but surely with the horrible mechanics and ridiculous power creep/randomness.
Keep telling yourselves that. People have a real problem admitting they aren't all that great. Many of the top players don't simply grind a 51% win rate deck. If you think they do then you're ignorant, stupid or both. Most pilot good decks to Kuch higher win rates and even poor decks to good win rates. There are some great creators and streamers who have had good success with certain decks which certainly aren't T1, when I've used them I've then struggled to get near 50% with them.
Decisions are key, discover isn't the death of skill, those choices matter. Reading the game, knowing what your opponent has and is likely to play, what mana is available and what is likely to come next etc. I've watched streamers and tend to think of the decision I would make as they're thinking and it isn't unusual for them to do something different, go a totally different way with navigating the game and win. My decisions, with hindsight, likely would have lost me the game. There are times I've seen people use a card like Zephrys and been bemused by it, definitely not something I would have done but they go on and win the game. Knowing when to use him on turn 2 or holding him to use later can be the difference between winning and losing. I'm assuming you haven't watched many of the top players because a child can see they know what they're doing and don't simply grind a 51% deck.
I'm not a great player, I can get to rank 5-3 and that's about my limit and I absolutely see the difference between me and a top player. Sure, they out in more time and as a result they know the game better, can grind a bit more and make better decisions but a pro athlete also spends more time training than me and they can compete to a higher level in their given sport than I ever could as well.
I've seen almost every game I've ever played have its salty, whiny section of player base that says there's no skill in the game. Funny that. Either an awful lot of games require little to no skill or people like you are talking shit and I'd out a lot on it being the latter.
Stop lying to newer players to try and make yourselves feel better. It's pathetic. i see top FIFA players being accused of 'simply' abusing the mechanics as well, go check out their forums and you'll see similar whiny bitches to yourself. Almost every game that involves PvP has the same complaints as well as the tired, age old 'the game USED to require skill, but it doesn't now' haha, it isn't just this game people like you repeat the same crap about.

Hearthstone?

Never realized the whelps were dragons and can be used to give your Dragonmaw Poacher +4/+4 rush. Could be useful for taking out a taunt. TMYK

Veranus is a solid card. Strong body for 6 mana and and has the potential for single target removal and board clear, I'm pretty sure it will see play in all midrange/quest hunter decks for the next year and is worth crafting.
I haven't got Dragonbane to work in highlander, its effect is too random and it usually gets dealt with pretty quickly. You can abuse the mech tag if you manage to stick a Zilliax on it but I wouldn't say it's a necessary craft.
I'd suggest a Rotnest Drake or Firetree Witchdoctor as a replacement if you're running a dragon heavy deck, or maybe a Shimmerfly to improve your curve, having cards to play in highlander hunter is important

I'm not smart enough, hence the Hearthstone

So let me get this straight:
- Game's been broken on mobile for the last month or so.
- Squelch is broken
- Daily quests are broken
- I login and all my decks are broken, something to do with gold cards
- Meta is just Shaman highrolling and winning
- General Blizzard anti free speech hijinks
I'm not one for complaining normally but it's becoming harder and harder to play and enjoy the game
I've been around since early 2018 so please correct me if it's ever been worse than this

Not only have they ruined the meta but also the game.
Currently unplayable due to crashes on mobile atm.

Warrior with 23 health and next turn lethal on board, me on zoolock with 3 health and 9 damage worth of tokens on the board. Tap down to 1 health to draw a grim rally, abusive sergeant, leeroy, grim rally, soulfire, cup of tea and a wank.
