In a tournament it's good tho. He just tries to play this deck vs control decks.
It's just so fun when I see my opponent just copy+pasted a deck like this which is obviously designed for tournaments.

Vawus posted a message on Why is Blizzard ok with a deck being able to kill a T1 coined Doomsayer?Posted in: General DiscussionBecause they are fucking retarded and don't give a flying shit about balance. They prove this by waiting 3-4 months for ever making changes.

akalhar posted a message on Game Designer Max McCall Talks About ShamansPosted in: NewsThe biggest issue with Shaman is they are too good at too many things.
Need healing? They have that. Healing Wave and Jinyu Waterspeaker
Need big taunts? They have that.
Need direct damage? They have that.
Need single target removal? According to Blizzard, they should be bad at that, but they have Hex and single target damage cards.
Need aggro? They have that. Thanks, Tunnel Trogg, Totem Golem, and the "midrange" 4 mana 7/7
Need AoE Removal? They have that in droves, from small board clears to big.
Need weapons? They have an amazing range of small to large weapons.
Need a big control deck? Hello, Jade Shaman.
So what are they bad at? Card draw, maybe? It's ridiculous for a class to be 1st or 2nd best in almost all of these categories. -

SanderNightsite posted a message on Ben Brode: The New Player Experience Needs WorkPosted in: NewsQuote from davidwizard >>Real question here: what would be a worthwhile goal for you? If you don't care about goldens, have all the cards you want, and don't care about grinding Legendary, what are you expecting out of a revamped ranked mode to incentivize your play?
Well if the ladder was redone completely into some new system, that alone would incentivize me to play ladder again. But there are many changes that would incentivize me to reach legend.1) Less grind. Make ladder more about how good you are at the game, instead of how much free time you have to sink into the game. Many people who have been playing since beta are actually REALLY good players, but many of them sit at around rank 12-10. You know why? They just don't have over 30-40 hours each month to grind to legend.2) More ranks from where you can't fall back from. This allows for more fun experimental deck on the ladder. Around rank 10- Legend, people are too afraid the experiment with new unique decks. I don't want to grind to rank 10 for 6-8 hours and then fall down to rank 20 in 30 min just because I want to experiment with a goofy deck against good constructed decks on ladder, against players who are as good as I am.3) Instead of monthly rewards, rewards that you get immediately after you hit a new rank. The problem with monthly rewards is that you get all of your rewards in one big bunch and you have to wait until the end of the month. I don't like it. I think getting your reward right after you get to X rank is a lot more satisfying. Think if with each rank you'd get a card and the further you go, the better cards you get. So each month you could get like ~18 non-golden cards and ~7 golden cards and you don't have to wait until the end of the month to get your reward. I have most of the cards, but the idea of "Okay, I'll get one rank further because if I do, I will get a card that is in X-rarity or a X-set card pack". Think about it- they could reward actual card packs for reaching X-rank. Like GvG card pack that you can't even buy anymore at rank 10. A free Arena ticket at rank 8. Tyrande as Rank 5 reward, because you can't even get her anymore through promotions etc. -

SanderNightsite posted a message on Ben Brode: The New Player Experience Needs WorkPosted in: NewsHopefully we'll get a new improved ladder system when the next standard year starts. I have over 5000 wins on ladder and it just feels like a pointless grind. I've already been to legend so I don't feel like grinding the ladder is worth it at all. I have the legendary card back, my collection is basically full and I don't care about golden cards. As someone who has been playing for a long time, I don't feel like grinding on the ladder is rewarding enough for players who have been playing since the beta.
So basically at the moment the ladder is bad for new players and it's also bad for experienced players. It needs to be heavily improved as soon as possible imo.

thepoxbox posted a message on what was your favourite meta?Posted in: General DiscussionCurrent dragon Priest is one of my most favorite decks of all time. I made my own with a bunch of extra discover minions. I like that.
The current meta is shit though, it's all patches decks vs anti patches deck.
Reno is also a plague card that furthers this dichotomy.
Dirty Rat would be fine if not for Mind Control Tech existing. Now both are random and randomly way too powerful.
Jade Idol is like the worst idea of all time for a card.
Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Leeroy, still a thing. Rotate them into a dumpster somewhere please.
Ragnaros back in full force, another one iconic worst design of all time.
There's basically only Dragon Priest that's not running one of the broken problem cards lol.
Even Reno Mage, which is a hilarious deck, runs Reno + Ice Block, another pretty stupid interraction. 5 mana 4/6, gain 29 life yay. To think Tree of Life is a card lol. -

My guess would be at the same time they put online the new log in reward campaign so tomorrow or the next day. Pure speculation though!

The only real issue with Finja is the way it's working with Murloc Warleader allowing Finja to get his life pumped up and be able to survive a normally lethal damage.

Stampeding Kodo
Works for a couple of cards in the current meta and shuts down all the troublesome stealthed cards like Finja or Shaku...

Any kind of Jade deck Druid or Shaman gets so much more value than you do, you just can't compete anymore at some point in the mid game, especially the Shaman which has the Hex or big damage spells to get rid of your highest life taunts. With so many Reno mage, more and more players are switching to Jade decks which is a very unhealthy meta for dragon priest.
It's a better meta for Priest than what is used to be be it's not Naxxramas Priest days. I wouldn't try spending hours climbing with Priest, the deck can self destruct if you don't get your Dragons or can simply be snowballed very easily by Jade decks. Also way too many Azure Drakes in current decks which are a pain to deal with, being a Dragon + a 4 attack minion.

Yeah i think that the damage input right now is very high and it won't stop because the root of the problem is the Ladder System itself. People want fast wins so they can get to rank 5 ASAP. And even when they get there they still want to make it to Legend (if possible) fast enough which means you still have to play a very high number of games. You can't afford spending 2 hours of play a day (which is, from my point of view, a huge time dedicated to the game) in only playing like 5 or 6 control games that won't get you much stars won...
Even playing Reno isn't really a solution. When you face some super aggro deck you win or loose by having the opportunity to Reno on T6 and then clear the board a couple of times after that to secure the win. But when you get into the mirror it's just taking forever to determine the winner so that still make people want to play more aggro decks because it's fast win or concede type of games.
I think that by pushing the no duplicates archetype when designing the set Blizzard was obviously aware the meta would turn a big % of the meta into Reno so that's why they were ok with leaving cards like Patches or Small-Time Buccaneer exactly as we know them so players would have the choice between pure aggro for game speed or Reno decks for overall consistency. It looks like a more healthy meta than the one we had before the set was released but still not that great since most games are then decided by the ability to play a minion on T6 with more than average stats that heal you back to full life... Not that much of a big thought process here... or the ability to go all in and try to apply as much pressure early on as possible and play around AOE as much as possible... again not many decisions to take there since you will play for 6 turns at best!
Blizzard said they were unhappy with the current state of the Ladder System and i really hope they will try something new soon enough when the next standard year begins so we can see if we can get a better gaming experience for everyone.

To me the Golden Age of Rogue was the Miracle version when Leeroy and Gadgetzan were discount cards... At least the game was still young so not everybody had the card pool nor the skill to pilot properly but it was played a lot!
And i totally agree that having only one "competitive" deck is terrible... Good point about Warlock. It used to be tricky to determine if you should mulligan against Zoo or Handlock. Now when they see Rogue they simply try to curve out in their starting hand without any other risky/meta call.

I say congrats for making it to Legend, no matter what people are saying or calling this deck by all sorts of names... It's not a full face deck, it still requires to think before doing anything and you also have to be good at playing mirror matches since you obviously face the same deck a lot of times :p
And for those of you who claim the deck to be OP, current winrate at Vicious Syndicate is 55% for the deck. Far from being OP in my book!

Even if that's the case, testing something during one of the worst period of the game in term of balance and diversity won't help them gather much data i think... Besides, they keep telling they aren't working on any kind of Tournament Mode in almost each Q&A Session with the Devs but they also keep telling it would be cool so go figure! Maybe "Soon" (TM Blizzard) lol

Oh it's not really a problem to tell the truth... What i have a problem with is that they actually spent time designing this mode and like i said it's just a new way to play Ladder. Wish they could have used that time for something more groundbreaking.
