Remember Pirate Warrior meta? That's when Warrior is the true terror when it comes to hyper-aggro. About this meta, what I hate is the presence of Mage. I personally hate freezing mechanic and specifically, I hate Luna Pocket Galaxy. BS highroll which destroys the tournament in Seoul.
I agree completely, freeze has always been annoying. I made a thread about "Hail Mary" cards and mentioned Puzzle Box specifically. This is one of the reasons mage is played so often: anyone, skilled or not, can cheat out or play a Puzzle Box and potentially win a game undeservedly. Chances are in 10 spells you get at least 1 that benefits you greatly, and any more likely swing the game in the opposite direction no matter the state of the game before the cast. It is akin to the lottery: if you already have nothing it doesn't hurt to spend a turn to try. I hate mechanics like that in this game.
If you are feeling salty, open a Box or two. The first time you Box lethal your opponent, you will feel much better.
In the moment it feels good, but if you actually want to learn more and get good at the game it does nothing. My notes for that match would be: lost to early aggression, froze in the mid game, puzzle boxes and won before opponent’s lethal turn. It doesn’t show any skill. It just means that I rolled the dice and won. There is no learning in rolling the dice and winning.
You take notes for this stuff? Maybe you should take a break instead.
There has never been a meta where every class wasn’t played.
There have been metas that didn’t suck. Your numbers don’t prove this meta does not suck.
Show me numbers or it's just hot air you're throwing. There HAVE been metas where classes had less than a 3% showing. That is virtually nonexistent to a casual player and extremely rare to a consistent player. Please tell me a meta outside the early days that didn't get solved and steamrolled in a matter of weeks. The internet and Hearthstone are paired now. Day 1 deck frequency is higher than it should be. When did I say this meta did or didn't suck? I said it's well-represented. You're mad. Take a break.
Attaching emotional attributes to my post is kind of moronic.
More specifically, when you're playing a slow deck yourself. Turn 5 or coin turn 4 Luna's Pocket Galaxy has made me lose five games in a row against this deck when playing Control Warrior. The card doesn't even have to be in their opening hand, since it's very easy to fish out with Mana Cyclone. Come turn 6 they Alexstrasza my face to 15 while having at least 3 8/8s on the board. This is isn't getting into late game with infinite fireballs from Antonidas because of all the 0 or 1 mana spell cycles. Even with perfect RNG on my end, I can't seem to find a way to win.
Boardclear, Boardclear, freeze, freeze, box, freeze, box, boardclear...fun to play against
Mage just crawled out of the gutter from it's last batch of nerfs and rotations so kindly piss off with that opinion. A couple tweaks, possibly, nerfed hard, no
Sure, Conjurers Mage was so bad that we have the need for 3 more Archetypes.
I kindly invite you to piss off yourself with your ignorance.
I was talking about before conjurers mage, which literally just came out last expansion, because before that mage was trash. If you can't use simple logic perhaps piss off with YOUR ignorance...
What’s next, fake lightsaber fights in the backyard?
I just watched a Paladin play this overrated card. What did he get out if it?
Summon a random animal companion
That is just one instance out of many. I see this card played in almost every match. I guess it’s trendy. Very rarely does it win a game as the cards I see used from it aren’t the best. Of course, the ads Blizzard run on every YouTube break will have you believe you’ll constantly pull a Tirion.
I love how some people on this thread blatantly blame all people of being toxic while excluding themselves from the problem, as if they were some kind of alien from a distant planet (probably from K-Pax XD) and not human. XD XD XD
Is there any honest reason to suppose that there won't be a balance patch before the end of the month? Given the response from the balance team after the two most recent expansions, it seems likely that we'll have something announced this week. If so, complaints regarding the "direction" of HS simply seem pointless, since we know that many of the OP's complaints will soon be addressed.
In any event, there are currently twenty decks with win-rates above 50% on HSReplays - I suspect the only folks who can honestly complain about the "direction" of the game are all the precogs who know which of those twenty decks will actually survive ladder attrition over the next few weeks . . .
I suspect we may hear something after the first week of GM S2 is in the books.
These arguments are just absurd. Just hear the guy out and give valid arguments or just stop talking.
The difference between Aviana and Luna's pocket Galaxy in terms of otk is consistency. With Aviana all you need to do is draw all of the combo. With Luna's you have to draw it first and then the powerful cards so if you draw Antonitis or Kalacgos(excuse typos with those names) or whatever before Luna's then they're just normal cards.
The only reason it feels worse is because sometimes the mage has turn 5 Luna into turn 6 10 drop and have 5 Mana left over.
But the games where they don't draw that just feel like normal games so it's fine.
With combo druid they just stall and stall with 50+ armor and then kill you Everytime unless you also have tons of armor.
That’s a good point. I’m just looking at the ability in itself and how they took it away from a card and gave it to another.

Big Priest is a goddamn cancer in Wild and anyone who says it isn’t is either playing as one or rides a short bus.

How do you use a RNG card properly? Do enlighten.
