Ah the classic Alt+F4  (or homebutton on their phones lol). 

I love when this happens :) - Last time was yesterday.

Played Kronx, schemed it 13 times, played galakrond, played 4 kronx's for 20 dmg and 5 weapon

= Alt + F4

 And this is a problem with people's mindset these days. It's not enough to win or simply enjoy an activity, people have this thirst for making other people feel bad and take more enjoyment when it happens. It's a cheese combo that you've seen someone else do and you've copied it, and the person has quit out because it saves a bit of time and maybe they had something else to get back to. 

The fact it's made you so happy to know they feel bad is a pretty bad reflection on your as opposed to them. You gain nothing from it and yet you like it so much, it's similar to traits see in psychopaths..... Be better than that.... 

 definitely true. I do it all the time if I sneak in a game during my work break.

 Hey! tried it out. It's really quite compelling. Great job. Is it bots right now or are you getting enough beta testers that it's live?

Another useless salty thread.

 The better point is that rez priest is completely unfun to play against. If you arn't playing a top tier deck you have to play a 20 minute game where you will always lose anyway since there is actually very little RNG in rez priest. It just wins the game and there is nothing you can do lol. Like what do you do vs priest if you're playing something that doesn't kill them or have constant threats like HL hunter? Say you are playing control shaman or control warrior? Not much. You can never win so forced to concede.

 I've beat priest plenty of times with warrior. usually be aggressively going face

Red Whelp runs out of steam pretty quickly. Unless I hit early Kalecgos, I'm moving on from Golden Whelp not long after Tier 4. 4 or 5 damage isn't often doing anything relevant in the mid-late game, unless you're lucky enough to pick off Soul Jugglers or Packleaders.

 yeah usually i don't get red whelp unless I'm rafaam... great for rafaam because rw can snipe better minions to steal

Imagine thinking that rolling is skill in bgs it’s RnG the mode is RnG your choice is where you put things is not cause you have control of it every thing else is RnG a streamer can tell me until there blue in the face that is skill and I just shrug and wonder what crack they are smoking.

 Cool. What's your MMR?

 right? thinking that it's ALL rng basically short circuits your brain into not actually noticing the patterns and methods where you can make a difference. ie thinking it's just rng is a sure way to suck or not improve more

Quote from Lavok >>

Don't worry, most of us understand that BG is just an RNG fiesta. Pay no attention to the "pros" thinking it's skill to roll the right minions in the tavern.

 keep telling yourself that and never get better

model could be better but it makes sense to subscribe to get extras. it's not like you can't play it if you don't. firebat had a good idea though.. make skins for Bob or extra voice line packets. like a heckling Bob packet that you could turn on and off. or different boards. they certainly could do a lot to monotize it

what the heck happened to the other brawl 😂

Quote from Estarossa >>

 I do not understand why shaman doesn't get any wild shudderwock battlecry support. I am disappointed.

And all those shaman cards are so aparted rush shit. Because of shaman is powerfull in standart they give useless rush cards ti it which is bad af :DDD 

And I think all aside from that all those shaman cards won't see play in wild. I can't see any place.

 

 2 8/8 rushes from shudderwok not good enough for you?

So, it's Whirlwind and kind of Claw glued together... seems overcosted.

 You're undervaluing the "glued together" aspect. Value comes at a cost. And then think about it as swipe that deals 1 less initial damage but at one less cost and it developed your galakrond. Absolutely costed correctly. 

 It deals the same exact amount of damage as swipe to enemy minions

Quote from lv426a11 >>

I dont think Guardian Animals is the real culprate otherwise you might see it played in hunter.  The real issue is the stupendous card draw provided by Guardian Animals when it pulls Twilight Runner.  Druid has always had ramp but it used to leave you without any resources.  Now Twilight Runner and Overflow allow for silly card draw and the downside of these cards are often insignificant compared to the mana the opponent is likely to have in response.

I think a better "nerf" would have been to buff Twilight Runner stat wise and and make it cost 6.

 So basically, the same problem during the KOFT era, they have the ramp AND the card draw (overflow instead of UI, but the result is the same)

Void Drinker Flesh Giant would like to disagree 

Volcanic Potion for warlock is actually pretty promising, but if they don't have a late game win condition (besides "Big Demons", which won't work because...there aren't any good big demons) this won't go anywhere.

 Thanks! Happy to read that you like it!. There are around 60 players right now on different time zones. But when searching for a match. If no players are found after some amount of seconds, the game add bots so people can try it without frustration. I plan to remove that after the Alpha. Once I get more players to support the game by themselves

It's currently a tier 1 deck, but I just don't see it. I'm having much more success with Highlander DH. Literally every deck focused on lategame and control up to that point beats my tempo DH deck, even when I have the perfect curve.

Galakrond warlock, priest, ramp druid, hell even spell mage, all almost impossible to beat.

Which list are you using? You definitely shouldn't lose to Druids. There seem to be a bit of confusion as to what is Tempo DH, what is Aggro DH ecc... on hstopdeck you can see under "Tempo DH" very different lists, some including the Ragin Felscreamer + Priestess package (and some even Glaivebound Adept), some being a lot more aggressive.

In my experience, the more aggressive lists without Priestess are the most solid in the current meta. They don't give Warlock Sac Pact value and the match feels almost even; they're definitely advantaged vs both variants of Druid (and there's an insane amount of them around, I almost feel I'm playing about half my games vs Druid), if you're losing against Druid I guess you're using a slower list. Priest is hard/unfavorable, but doesn't feel unwinnable.

DH basic set has to have relatively high card quality compared to every other basic and classic set collection because DH enters the game with a far lower cardpool then every other class in the game, certainly much less for wild and even in Standard they are lacking cards from 3 whole expansions. If Blizzard didn't do any of this then DH would probably be playing mostly neutral cards which would be a pretty poor statement considering they are the newest addition to the class roster.

"I'm bad so the game is bad" isn't really a coherent argument.  I mean, I've done terrible since the patch (lost ~700 MMR so far), but I know it's because I haven't gotten the hang of the new meta yet.  It's not the game's fault that I've been slow to figuring out how to work without the divine shield taunt minions, how to properly play dragons, how to cope with Deathwing, etc.  Still loving the mode, even though it's kicking my ass right now.

Objectively, it's clear that the skill requirement in battlegrounds is high, otherwise players would not be able to consistently hit and maintain top ratings.  If you feel like you are at a point where games are determined purely by luck, that probably means that everyone you are playing against is at or above your skill level so your skill isn't giving you any advantage, which only leaves luck to decide games.  You can try to focus on finding what you are missing and getting better, or you can just enjoy where you are, both are fine options.  But I can assure you that it is very much possible to get better by improving your skills, the people at the top of the leaderboards aren't just getting lucky every game.
