And screw “not having the emotional intelligence to understand people disliking deckbuilding etc” that’s complete bs. People that netdeck and say that dont have the general intelligence to build their own deck so they let someone do it for them and then post their legend picture or brag about their rank on Reddit like they accomplished something. And then they get so sensitive when people hate on netdecking like deckbuilding isn’t sort of the point of the game, and yet they cannot for the lives of themselves construct a deck even in a 3 card tavern brawl. Sad imo, they’ll never get to truly experience hearthstone at its greatest, Full of whacky combos and interactions. Let them be content with playing their sad deck a stranger constructed for them that lets them drag and click on a portrait every turn, we can have all the actual fun. Smd meta dependents lmao

    This is like playing a pool tournament and complaining that your opponent is potting their balls whilst you are trying to slam trick shots.

    If you want to dick around in Hearthstone you will probably have to play casual games with friends. Or get really, REALLY good to the point where you can make meme lists work to a reasonable degree (this is possible, just very hard in Hearthstone). But playing on ladder and expecting your opponents to play janky shit that the game clearly isn’t balanced to cater is mind numbingly stupid.

    If you want to play ranked games with janky decks then you’re going to have to find another game which caters to it.

     That’s a terrible comparison, a better one would be playing pool and complaining that my opponent has a robotic arm that sinks every shot for him. Y’all go on the internet and literally copy/paste a deck that someone else built. Might as well have them play the game for you. And yes everybody pilots decks differently and has a learning curve on decks but, watch a few videos by the person that made the deck and hey, that problem is gone. Youre not playing the game, youre mimicking the play pattern of somebody you found on the internet. My previous post was half joking but my point is all the same, deckbuilding is part of the game, why are you playing a CCG/TCG otherwise? At the end of the day i know netdecking is part of the game and I’ll accept it, but that doesn’t mean the people who netdeck aren’t annoying and bad at the game because they cant even comprehend forming their own coherent combination of two cards. They just want to play the best deck and win even though it’s a boring ass deck and because they’re obsessed with getting high ranks for little incentive; at the cost of “fun” in quotes cuz it’s “subjective”. The amount of fun one achieves from playing secret mage and odd rogue is not subjective however. Ppl who read this will get sensitive lmao idgaf, stay keeping yourselves closed off to the entire other half of the game.

    Everybody knows how broken mage is atm.  So come over 50% of my games are vs Mage? Do people really care about winning over having intergrity that much? Wheres the challenge in playing a deck that is supposed to win? 

    If people continue to take advantage of broken shit in the game, the state of the game will stay shit. Have some courage and integrity, dont be a part of the problem, live in the solution. Lead by example. Grow up. Theres more to life than just winning.

    I remember watching an Archery competition, and one competitor broke their Bows string and couldnt shoot. The opponent saw this, and stepped up for their turn, but didnt shoot. 

    THEY HAD INTEGRITY  and didnt want to win that way. 

    Hearthstone needs more people like this, winrates be damned. With rank floors at every 5 and 10, u cant lose too many ranks playing with intergrity. 

    What would you teach your children to do? Take advantage of others, of broken mechanics, and win at all cost!! Or, teach them about fair play and why it matters? 

    Just some thoughts for the day from a regular player who loves the game.

    Quote from PetiteMouche >>
    Quote from Kurgo >>

     Today I learned that aggro decks that play green cards and go face each turn while having endless resources, regardless of what deck the opponent is playing, are in fact more difficult to pilot than a control deck. The hearthstone community is a neverending source of surprising facts.

    There is no way to discuss with biased people who think aggro decks are braindead easy mode OP decks by default. Yes in all honesty soul fragment control warlock is much easier and much more forgiving than any aggro deck, and doesn't entirely rely on starting hand like most aggro decks. And it's quite ironic that you would rant about infinite ressources in a discussion about control warlock, who has access to life tap, about 20 additionnal health from fragments alone, the best removals in the game, the only hero card in the format and crazy strong at that, and can add cards in his deck and remove cards from yours.

    Which aggro deck has never ending resources anyway ? Rogue and DH maybe ? Yes they draw their entire deck very quickly, but they waste cards for that, they can't just tap tap tap.

    Of course, if you put one against the other, the hyper aggro face deck is going to be easier to pilot, as it is hard counter to control warlock, but that's not the point here.

    Secret Paladin and Control warlock are the 2 easy mode decks from this expansion. And it has nothing to do with what type of archetype they are, it's just the power level of cards and combos they play.

    Woah, lots of stupid assumptions in this thread, do you have any evidence that the opponent could complete C'thun and draw it on the same turn ? Maybe he wasn't expecting tickatus ? Maybe he didn't care or just forgot ? Maybe he had Mordresh in hand ready to destroy you anyway ?

    Did you even win that game ? Oh yes my friend the result of this match does matter, because if you lost against "a guy who can't adjust his play against the most obvious danger" then what does that make you ? 

    And do you have any evidence that this person that you can't interact with, is the same kind of person who complain about lack of interactivity ?

    Sorry, you don't get why people hate Tickatus. And you're playing the easiest deck to pilot on earth with infinite removal, infinite healing and auto-win fatigue, so please, calm down.

     

     I know for a fact he could have completed it and drawn it the same turn.  I have the replay, though it wasn't necessary as I saw the 3 cost C'thun pieces he played from the far left of his hand.

    The not expecting or not caring about Tickatus is my point.  People don't make the simplest most obvious changes in their play to beat the deck they're playing against.

    He did not have Mordesh.  I know this because he played a Font of Power and got to keep 3 creatures on the turn before I Tickatus'ed.

    Yes I won the game.  I milled the C'thun 4th card of 5.  Not that it matters, as the point was he turned a sure win into a likely loss by bad play.  Whether RNG saved him or not, it was a bad play.

    So what assumptions did I make?  I suppose you're right, it was a stupid assumption to assume my opponent would play the game with the slightest understanding of a common matchup.  My bad.

     

    EDIT:  @ singbanana

    You are correct, that's why I started my post with stating that the matchup depends largely on how fast the opponent can round up all 4 c'thun pieces.  But in this case, since he was able to draw them and I was down to 12 or 14 life from burn and lifetap, he could have easily secured the win by ensuring I didn't get a chance to mill C'thun.  Instead he played like I was a warrior or some such and just ignored the only thing that could possibly lose him the game.

     

    For those of you missing the point, Tickatus gets a lot of hate by people who seem to believe there's no way to address the threat.  And yet, when there's a way to perfectly play around him, people don't.  I chose this game to highlight because it was one of the more egregious examples, but it is not a one-time occurrence by any means.

     Lol

    Quote from DeafKnight >>
    Quote from theeshyguy2000 >>
    Quote from DeafKnight >>
    Quote from Keema >>

    The reason Blizzard are making the artificial distinction is they don't want to give players cards, they want to loan them for the season (and remove them later). I.e. because they are greedy.

    This whole "Blizzard are so greedy" shtick is becoming very overdone. What is being described is not even "greed". It's entitlement (again).
    For example:

    Entitled guy : Hey that's a nice car! Wish I had one like that.
    Other guy : Oh, well here's the keys. You can borrow it for a bit.
    Entitled guy : You mean it's mine to keep, right?
    Other guy : No, I'm lending it to you so you can use it. I can't just give it to you for free.
    Entitled guy : Ehrmegherd! You is liek, so grEeDy! 

     What? That metaphor doesn't work AT ALL. The Core Set isn't just a free bonus, it's a REPLACEMENT of the basic and classic sets. People earned classic cards, built up a collection of them, and Blizzard decided that even classic wasn't safe from being rotated. Better example:

    Guy: You sold my car? The one that I owned and paid for?

    Other Guy: Yeah but I got you a new one.

    Guy: Can I at least keep that one?

    Other Guy: No. You're borrowing it.

    Guy: Okay... Is it new at least?

    Other Guy: Somewhat.

     I take it you haven't actually looked at your set to see how incorrect your comment is?
    Because when I look in mine, I can see all the cards I collected, alongside all the NEW cards that I got literally for free without having to do anything for them.

    Guess that's the old Blizzard greed coming into play right there, giving away free stuff. Damn them. I didn't ask for anything and they forced me to have more stuff... so evil... much greed...

    What your misinformed analogy SHOULD have said was:

    Guy: I bought you a new car to use.
    Other guy: But I already have that car
    Guy: Ok, well this is a spare one to use (in case you didn't have it already)
    Other guy: Can I keep it?
    Guy: Well, no. It was just a loan. And you already have it, you said
    Other Guy: Yeah, but you're loaning another one to me, so my entitlement states I should keep it.
    Guy: Uh, that's not how loans work...
    Other Guy: I DESERVE TO HAVE THIS FOR FREE, FOR PLAYING THE GAME YOU WORKED ON FOR ME! sO GReEdY!!!!11!1!

     Youre an idiot bro lmao read my last post. You do not understand the concept of loans, maybe take an economics course. Both of your metaphors were just flat out wrong bud and way off the mark. But hey if you wanna keep thanking and praising blizzard for giving you what you think are free cards. Go apply for a loan at your local bank, they would be thrilled to trap you in their debt scheme. Oooo free money

     Someone who actually understands the concept of loans. I made a similar complaint about this earlier when core was first announced and everybody dogged on me like I was some idiot. Like, do people really not understand the concept of loaning us a collection for a year and then possibly taking that away and putting new cards in, so we will still, in the long run, have to spend resources to get the “old” core set cards that were new to the game. It doesn’t take a lot of thinking to understand lol, i’m glad someone else gets it. We all spent time and resources to get the classic cards which they told us would never roatate. Then the classic set rotated, making all the time and resources we spent worthless (if you dont play wild) and then LOANED us a core collection that will EVENTUALLY rotate out. However many years it takes, the core set will eventually look completely different and we will have to spend more time and resources to collect the cards that which we were originally loaned. People are stupid lmao no wonder banks rule the world.

    I totally agree with OP and most of what people here have been saying (except for the entitled car guy, what kind of comparison was that? Didn’t even make sense considering the context). Anyway, been playing since late tgt early loe and I’ve never been so overwhelmed by this game in my life. It’s honestly stopped me from playing as much this expansion because I dont even know where to begin when making a deck (I only make homebrews) and I dont like the fact that in a year my decks may or may not be totally unusable when a card/s rotate out of the core set. They really need to clean it up because it’s become more stressful to actually try and enjoy the game when I used to play this game to relieve stress. Just overwhelmed with all the new changes and very little explanations

    posted a message on Warlock allowed to destroy entire deck with Tickatus in ranked?
    Quote from enoX_36 >>

    It should cost 12 and remove 20 cards from your deck, if it's corrupted then destroy your own hero. Such a broken card with 90% played winrate and every tickatus deck having over 80% wr is not healthy for the game. It feeds on no brain control decks, it's literally at Mindrender Illucia's level of insta win against otk decks, it beats aggro so easily because warlocks have 31 aoe cards in their decks and heal for 25+ every game because of the soul fragments. Who even had the idea to make control warlock so bonkers? It will define the standard meta for the next 3 years.

     So much in this post screams ‘I dont understand this game’.

    First off, tickatus decks have nowhere near 80% winrates, try 40% range, definitely under 50% last time I checked.

    Second, no brain control decks? Name one other than wild big priest, aggro is the “brain dead” archetype and even some aggro decks require specific sequencing etc. and true control as an archetype hasn’t been a thing (in wild at least, where I play all my games) since WoToG or even before then.

    Third, tickatus is nowhere near mindrender illucia’s power level. Tickatus is much much MUCH slower and the player has to be ahead on board or at least not behind to play tickatus. Illucia is 3 mana and can pretty much steal a win if a good player knows the matchup and when to play her. 

    Finally, aggro is the one of the matchups that tickatus decks specifically get farmed for exp. aggro will destroy tickatus decks more times than not because, like I said before, tickatus decks are too slow for aggro matchups.

    Tickatus decks get stomped by faster combo decks as well like wild raza priest unless you get lucky and burn one of their combo pieces which isn’t likely because again tickatus is extra slow and mostly comes out around turn 8 at the earliest. 

    Tickatus is literally a tech/counter card for grindy control matchups which is what it is perfect for honestly, giving you card advantage and giving your opponent a disadvantage if you burn something important. And it puts them closer to fatigue. It’s a control tech card, and it performs its role perfectly.

    Youre allowed to have 40-40 stats on board every turn with rez mechanichs or to pull perfect answers generated by rng? Hm yes, ticktacus should stay the same. 

    Everyone can see that 6 cost card with 8/8 stats that burns off half of opponents deck is ridiculously OP. It gets even more ridiculously OP when you compare the card to other classes legendary card choices: they have nothing even remotely similar. But I guess you own the damn card and thus are eagerly defending it.

     Bro youre a priest player. Priest is the reason I put tickatus in my deck. Me spending all my resources to clear a board you can bring back with one card the very next turn? Tickatus is a counter/tech to that style of deck.

     The guy felt I was personally attacking him bc I play tickatus and proceeded to call me brain dead. I then started to reply back to which it got side tracked into a different conversation.

    As if Tickatus wasn't total braindead too. And the way you think is as well. Control decks designed to destroy other control decks is an idiotic concept. It is like cannibalizing control so that aggro can break free undisturbed. Retardedness at its finest

    I already explained how tickatus is more of an anti-combo card than an anti-control card, which is what it is supposed to be. Control is weak against combo decks so tickatus answers that problem perfectly. But again, I explained this in my earlier post so I guess youre brain dead while reading, as well as while playing hearthstone decks you copied and pasted from google.

     Sure because your Tickatus is not copy-paste. It is sooo original. Nobody plays it... Please STFU

     Bro i’m talking about your copy and pasted deck that you got from hsreplay. I play specifically homebrews, A. Because it’s more fun to actually put thought into your own decks not to mention more rewarding, and B. Because it’s more fun than playing every other overplayed, washed out, bs that people hop on like rez priest, secret mage, kb rogue, and all of demon hunter.

    Tickatus goes in my homebrew to make you uncreative f**ks that play these decks cry and hopefully uninstall the game. So you please stfu and keep playing your gay ass rez priest. I hope I come across you on ladder and tickatus 10 of your cards. In fact, i’m gonna start making a deck right now with just tickatus, a 9 mana card, and yshaarj so I can tickatus you, raise dead, tickatus you again, raise dead, tickatus you again, and then yshaarj and tickatus you again. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Hahahahaha. First of all you don't even know what I play. I don't even play priest so wrong try again. Who plays rez priest in 2021? It is not even in the meta. What ladder do you play on? The scrubs' one?

    Second, homebrew my big ass. You can maybe change 3 or 4 cards but the staple ones are the same for everyone who wants to play Tickatus. I really want to see how original your homebrew is. I'm in for some fat laugh. 

    I play my own quest shaman, that nobody else plays. This is homebrew. Not Tickatus BS that before the meta went all aggro because of it, everyone and their grandmas were playing. Don't make me laugh really

     Alright you obviously play standard and not wild because rez priest is extremely prevalent in wild. Big priest, rez priest same thing. And bro my deck literally has the new yshaarj the old nzoth and both yoggs like how much more original to you want me to get while still at least being a little bit viable. Maybe my zoo warlock deck with renounce darkness and lorewalker cho is original enough? I dont play anything meta bro, like anything. So no I dont switch around 3 or 4 cards, I think of fun stuff to do and start from scratch. And the scrubs ladder? I’ve hit legend enough times to know i’m not a scrub and with my own decks too. 

    You sound like a scrub though if a card like tickatus is ruining your day enough to post about it
