    Classic was supposed to be a here to stay mode

     No one played Classic.

     This ^^

    You can't really complain about losing something that nobody ever legitimately used, especially when you are getting something to replace it that doesn't affect anything else and you are not required to actually use either. 

    Complaining about free stuff seems... ungrateful at best.

    Twist - What a shame ...

    If you like playing against Questline Demon Hunter and Questline Druid, you'll love Twist.

    Do you like your opponent getting tons of draw and discounts for free, while Mana Burning you and Gliding away your hand and then playing lots of 0 mana minions ... you'll love twist!

    Did you ever wish wild had only 2 viable decks and no counter play?  Twist has got you covered!

    If you don't queue into Demon Hunter, watch the Druid increase his hero power attack every turn and start whacking you for 8 damage every turn while playing 0 mana taunt minions!  Twist has you covered!

     It's perhaps a little early to start lambasting a new mode before it has even been properly released yet. 
    As with most new modes and expansions etc, there are always plenty of knee-jerk predictions about how things will happen (see the Doom threads that originally appeared about Patchwerk or Mograinne for example. 
    You might be right, or you might not - but as always with Hearthstone, a meta will begin to settle and then Blizzard will act upon this accordingly with appropriate changes.

    Hi,

    Hearthpwn is owned by the company MagicFind : Home - Magic Find
    HSReplay.net is owned by the company HearthSim : HearthSim – Hearthstone Simulation & AI

    There is a connection of sorts, in that both were originally founded by the same person: Jerome LeClanche - who founded HearthSim (formerly Hearthstone Community) first before later leaving to found the newer company MagicFind. 

    It is possible (and maybe even likely) that both companies outsource the same server providers which would account for both going down at the same time if they are from the same source.

    posted a message on What is your most hated card of all time?

    Unpopular opinion incoming :
    Hands down, the worst and most uninspiring card ever made has to be the original C'Thun when it first came out. 
    Was the most boring and overused finisher for me - forced the meta at the time to be 100% C'thun decks with little variation and almost ended my enjoyment of Hearthstone right there. 
    Fortunately it was saved by the arrival of the next expansion (G&G I think it might have been)

    posted a message on How to effectively use "Pozzik, Audio Engineer"?

    The only 2 real best times to play him (that I can justify), are:

    1. On Turn 4 (3 with coin), when the opponent does not have the mana to get both the bots out in response. You are either guaranteed a good threat on board that causes problems, or at least a good trade with a follow up.

    2. When you have enough other threats out on board to pair with him that the opponent has no good options for how to deal with it (playing the bots being a huge mana disruption)

     Matching bots against really bad or completely new players makes more sense, and that's what Blizzard said they are doing with their bots. 

     Is that Blizzard trolling us by implying we must be really bad players if we match up against a bot? lol

    But seriously, it's more to do with the rank you play at. For example, at the start of the season, when in ranks bronze and silver at the start of the season climb, I notice I get a bot or two at that point. But as soon as I reach Platinum / Diamond etc I dont see another bot again.
    So unless MMR resets every season (which I don't believe it does?), then it would suggest that MMR is not the basis for matching against bots.

    Quote from The_George >>

    You have only yourself to blame for even thinking of giving them money.

    Give money to a garbage company for a garbage product, and not expect garbage in return? That one's on you.

     So.... why do you still play?

    posted a message on Are the odds different between IOS devices and PC Version?

    The iOS prices are higher than both PC and Android, because Apple charges a premium / tax for purchases on iOS devices.
    This has nothing to do with either Blizzard OR the internal workings of the game. 

    To answer your question, therefore, no, this will have no impact or effect whatsoever on the chances of what cards you pull in card packs, since this calculation is done on the servers at Blizzard's end - otherwise people could easily hack their device in order to increase the odds of card pulls, etc.

     Well sure, but you said people are complaining about too much diversity, which was just silly and ignoring context of meta.

     Well, no, what I actually said was:

    Quote from Scorpyon >>

    I will admit this is the first time I have seen someone complaining that there is too MUCH diversity in a class and that a class can play any of the three archetypes.

     I was very specifically talking about a single class and complaints about it, not about complaints about the meta as a whole or whether the meta was diverse. I don't believe it was ignoring anything since it related to exactly what was said by the original poster, (as I later pointed out).

    But was there a specific point you were actually trying to make, or is this simply arguing for argument's sake? (Which I get, but it's not very productive). I only ask since I'd prefer not to engage in simple quibbling personally.
