    posted a message on Priest weak late game has to end

    I've said it in other threads and I'll say it again here: I miss the old days of Dragon Priest. Minion-based. Powerful, but beatable. Didn't turn the game into a 45 minute snoozefest. People complained about it, but it was nowhere near as annoying as the current idiocy.

    "Funny and interesting," unless you're the one who loses because of these scuzzballs. I hope they're banned for life. No respect for cheaters.

    Ignore him. The dude's always on here, saying stuff that makes no sense. This one is no different. I can't imagine any sane person crafting a card just for use in Duels.

    Tall stranger is a notorious blizzard shill and douchebag. Don't bother talking with him, you'll only get the company line. 

     You're still around? I swear you keep saying you've quit the game, but you hang around here spewing your typical conspiracy theory nonsense. And, dude, I'll take my reputation around here over yours every time. You're the equivalent of everyone's drunk uncle at Thanksgiving: he stumbles around talking nonsense, while everyone else ignores him and laugh at him behind his back.

    My entire point to that dude (who claims to have ignored me but everyone knows is still reading this) is that expecting each class to have multiple, viable archetypes to reach legend is absurd. And I explained why. Not once in that explanation did I say something nice about Blizzard. The only time it came up was when I said that, if you want Blizzard to create enough cards to make all these archetypes, you better be ready to pay for it (and accept that FTP's will get screwed by this change). Again, just a fact: Blizzard's not going to put all that work in without charging us more. I didn't judge whether or not that was "good" or "fair."

    You'll notice I never once said I liked the current meta: I don't have an opinion of it, because it hasn't settled yet. There are some decks that look interesting, some that look stupid, and some that I haven't played or played against enough to form an opinion. So, basically, I haven't said anything nice about Blizzard nor defended it in any way. Guess I'm not much of a shill.

    How would you determine which deck consistently hit legend and how varied they are on HS Replay? 
    Back when Brann was still around, how often were you matched up which wasn’t Astalor OTK Druid combo? 10% of the time when you’d get the occasional aggro druid? How often were you matched with Warlock which wasn’t imp/curse warlock? 5% of the time? 

    Again, I might be wrong, maybe there really is ‘plenty’ of deck variety but I just happen to be matched with the same decks over and over and over and over again. I mean that’s fine for those who enjoy it, I’m just eagerly waiting for a competitor to HS which will manage not to end up with a stale meta within 24 hours. The player base majorly stick to deck recipes so that’s all there is to it really. 

     And? Not trying to be snarky here, but what is it you actually expect? I raised this question in a discussion thread I started several months ago, but I think people have an odd definition of a balanced meta. If you expect every single class to have at least two viable deck archtypes, I'm sorry but you're smoking something. That has never been the case, nor will it ever be the case.

    Second, focusing on deck viability at the Legend level is a mistake. The vast, vast majority of HS players cannot reach (or do not wish to reach) legend. The legend meta is different from that at lower levels. It would, quite frankly, be a huge mistake for Blizzard to target its balance efforts on the highest level.

    Third, I do not get this whining about "netdecks." What you call netdecking is really nothing more than the process of refining a given deck archetype to maximize its winrate. Believe it or not, most people would rather WIN a game than play some wacky deck that goes off once in a while but has a 40% winrate. Especially when you're trying to ladder.

    I wonder, if you stole/ copied this from your opponent, would you get a copy of their cards? I assume so, but HS mechanics don't always make sense....

    Nice that they're addressing the signature card issue, but does anyone have any idea how much we'll get for dusting them?

    Quote from Tikku82 >>

    U know, wild is just for casual fun. If u want to play HS competitively, play standard.

     Yes, because we all know just how perfectly balanced Standard is. There's never, in the history of Standard, been idiotic, broken, unfun decks to play against. It's a frickin paradise.

    Once again, the anti-Wild crowd spews out its petty nonsense.

    I enjoy stomping on obnoxious mill rogues who kindly draw cards for me so that I can run them down really quickly. I enjoy watching their health go bye-bye. Have a nice day.
