    Quote from intimmydator >>

    I went from facing Minionless mage 8/10 games last expansion to 10/10 games this expansion, pretty hype.

     Sad when people lie just to try and drive the narrative they want to be true. Does it make you feel better or something? 

    OP, good to see you're enjoying it. It's a touch fast for my liking but I've been dabbling in wild and so I'm splitting my time between the modes anyway. They've definitely done some proper work on identities and the classes do all feel very different.

    Not everybody is a try hard, OP. When I hit legend, I massively reduce my attention, I typically play whilst watching/doing something else. 

    I'd be more concerned about why you are a similar MMR/rank to either bad players or people not concentrating at all. Doesn't speak much for you if you're there, try harding and desperately making every optimal play and yet are in the same bracket as the baboons.

    I did this the other day and it was pretty funny. I didn't even pay enough attention to realise I was playing a Paladin. You might just take this game a lot more seriously than other people do.

    I don't care about any of those i just want cards man

     I can say with 100% certainty that anyone up voting this comment is a white male, like me.

    It's very hard to do, but I encourage anyone reading this to really imagine experiencing something like harassment or racism, and then you can be just a little bit less selfish, for the betterment of all.

     

    "very hard to do"

    Oh wow, how patronising and ignorant. I lived in an Arab country for a good part of my life, a country that legit has zero regard for rights like this. No HR. Nobody gives a shit if you're treated badly and I've had everything from not being able to shop in places because I'm white, being refused entry at 'normal' price, being removed from buses for insisting on paying the local price and not the white price, being openly talked about and laughed at on a personal and cultural level because they assume you don't understand the Arabic. Literally every day I'd have to give up in a shop, spend ages arguing about transport, ignoring the cat calls, weird noises and hisses made my way when I walked down the main street, having to take an escort with me to do X, Y or Z. When political riots kicked off, my uncle was targeted for being white and beaten to the point he later died. Yes, I know how it feels and no, Allie is doing fuck all to help anybody in that position. 

    People like you love to pay yourself on the back at your computer screen. Get up and do something useful instead of preaching for Internet brownie points.

    I don't know all the details but seems to me that if you want to make a stand, cut your ties. Don't wait a day to then do your goofy card reveal and continue to benefit from promotion provided by a company that you're making a stand against. 

    This situation became public knowledge today.

     

    Also I've seen multiple posts by former employees who are saying that the issue is with a small number of people and those in charge who never held them accountable and who proceed to ask people not to take their justified anger for this situation out on the product and the many devs doing their job (and having no real power to affect change).

     

    What I would have done if I was one of those streamers is show the card in like a 5 second video and then proceed to raise awareness about the issue, linking the report, Blizzard's response, the views of former employees and maybe some resources on what to do when you are subject to sexual harassment at work or when you suspect you are paid less because of your gender or race.

     But this is far too good of an opportunity to virtue signal. Many replies on here show exactly that, she'll get a ton of support for doing this whilst also getting Co tinued benefits from partnering with Blizzard. They say you can't have your cake and eat it but not here, seemingly. 

    She's a martyr for putting off a card reveal for a day. It seems utterly ridiculous to me.

     OK? Suspend your association then until an outcome. Don't put it back 24 hours so you can virtue signal and have a flood of "good for you, fight the fight! I support you!" 

    Support what? Putting back your incredibly privileged opportunity? Put out a statement and sya until this is resolved, I won't be streaming Blizzard games or working with them.

    Saw somewhere Kibler isn't streaming HS for a week. A week haha. OK, man, you're really sticking it to the man there! 

    Like I said, hypocrites. Happy to lap up the benefits, don't want that going away, but want the plaudits for 'doing something'. They've done fuck all but you can already see all the seel claps they're getting and 'support'. Bleating on about support on a forum none of these people will read literally means nothing. Instead of talking about and playing a game, made by a company you're so disgusted by, go volunteer at a women's refuge or anything that actually contributes something. Condescending pricks like hat talking to 'men'. Fuck you mate, don't presume to talk for me, you don't know me, you have zero idea what I've done, supported, helped with, but because you put a tweet out saying 'men' have to shut up and do better, you're doing something? Nerdy little prick.

    If you read a bit about Blizz’s CEO, you start wondering if you should keep giving any money to his company. Now this is another stone to their grave, and I know it’ll help me quit my HS addiction.

     Probably the same for a lot of places. 

    People are shit, we're not a nice species. We're ignorant, jealous, petty, superstitious, greedy and driven by primal biological desires, just to name a few of our flaws.

    Doesn't seem like taking a stand to me. Seems like virtue signalling. Release a video explaining that because of these things, you do not wish to be associated with the company anymore, will not be streaming their games until at least some verdict has been reached and will not promote their products. I'd have full respect and support for that.

    Putting a reveal off by a day just seems like you want to look to be making a stand but not actually have it get in the way of the privelages that you are receiving as a content creator. The accusations sound pretty bad, not a company I'd like to work with/for. But sure, put it off for a day, get a pat on the back for the great work you're doing to fight for fair treatment and then jump back on, make a goofy video and celebrate the same company a day later. 

    Seems to stink of hypocrisy to me..."oh no, no, Blizzard, you misunderstand me, I still want to do my card reveal and get the hits from the views etc, I'm just going to push it back a bit because you're awful, terrible people and I need everyone to know that I don't support all the awful things you do. I do however support your continued support in my channel please thank you very much kindlyyyyy"

    posted a message on New Warlock Legendary Card Revealed - Anetheron

    I like this, would love a good handlock deck. Control warlock and warrior are pretty much what got me playing the game, so I always look to make at least one, if not both, at least every couple of expansions.

    posted a message on Why is spell mage so popular on ladder?

    It's fun, not everyone who plays this game is a try hard who churns out a max win rate for cars game cool points. Half of the decks I run have a 30-40% win rate. 

    I imagine it is a confusing concept if you're..... you know.....a try hard.

    These types of threads are always.... Interesting. "I find it really easy to beat, I'm not a scrub you know, its super easy to beat, I have a high win rate, I'm not a scrub, I just find it boring.

    posted a message on Thoughts on The New "Tradeable" Keyword

    I thin the armour gain is pretty sweet, particularly if they move towards a slower meta. Works well with shield slam as a flexible removal combo, 3 mana heal 8 isn't shabby at all and if you don't need it at that moment, you can trade it for a different card. If control warrior is a thing then I imagine this will be an auto include.
