Hearthpwn

Easily one of the worst brawls ever. Not only is it 100% RNG fest, but its a LONG DRAWN OUT RNG fest. You and your opponent do nothing but idols for the first 3-4 turns. Games tend to go long past 10 turns each. It's just ridiculous.

What is with the HS community constantly displaying this us vs. them mentality? If you play priest you are a brain dead monster. If you never played patron warrior you don't know how it is to pilot a difficult deck. If you don't make your own decks you are a pathetic little loser. If you make your own you are superior, unless you are losing to a specific class then either you built it wrong or again that whole class needs a nerf. Spend money on the game? You are dumb and responsible for making the game worse. F2P you are dedicated and have more reasons to complain. Can't we all just see it is a game? If you aren't having fun or enjoying it don't spend your money on it or don't play. Why are all these people spending their time on a forum like this that hosts decks if they never netdeck or have positive experiences with the game? Rant ended.

Same problem here. Multiple days of missing quests. Restarting the game has fixed it, thankfully, but it's annoying as hell.

My HS play has dwindled greatly, and I was about to just quit the game altogether... and today I pulled a Golden Tirion Fordring who I have wanted for forever now...

Funny how none of the main Pally lists are playing him ATM.. sigh.

At OP: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice troll thread.

It is a card game with 9 classes and you said that there are actually 4 deck archetypes. According to this there must be 9x4 viable decks. When you saw 36 viable decks on ladder?  Never! Ok, I will be more generous, 2 archetypes for all classes. Have you ever seen 18 viable decks in ladder? I have not. So I recommend you to see my upper post. 

While There should be bunch of every archetype for every class (like 3 combo, 3 control, 3 mid-range, 3 aggro for only hunter), there is never more than 5 viable decks in ladder. Netdecking forces people to play same decks, Blizzard forces community to netdecking (with their engineering and their "Pro" and streamer players which are boosted by them). So you people keep believing netdecking is a growing way to the game. Sweet Dreams.

A better question is why do people think netdecking deserves criticism in the first place?

All these comments about building a healthy community with a bunch of varying deck types are silly. There are four deck types: Aggro, control, midrange, and combo. Everything is basically one of, or a merge of, those four types. Given that, along with the fact that card game design companies, like Blizzard, inherently create some cards to be better than others, there will always be a limitation on deck design.

Here's an example: A few months back I decided to homebrew a Warlock deck based around heavy removal and demon buffing (and if you say it's already been done, well, my point exactly) - I made it, played it, it did ok, but nothing great. Over the next few days I start to see similar decks pop up, and I go online and see it's the latest thing for Warlocks that people are trying. The optimal decks were better than what I put together with my limited card pool, but the gist of the deck was the same. Now, did I netdeck? No. Was my idea already out there, and in a better fashion? Yes. 

The point is, whatever you homebrew, odds are it's been done, and probably done better, by people who are really good at deck building. If it's not out there, then the odds are it's a terrible idea. If your homebrew gets roflstomped by a netdeck, then odds are your homebrew just isn't very good. Face facts.

As a father of two who works full time and enjoys doing things other than HS, I simply don't have the time (or patience) to sit around and homebrew for hours to try to come up with something that might win a few games and allow me to complete my quests. I netdeck (often needing to sub out some cards) and happily do so. I am grateful to the community that helps develop decks that I can try and that saves me time.

Netdecking happens for many reasons. To call it bad, cancerous, etc. is just silly, and a sign of immaturity. To think that this glorious community would instantly happen if people stopped netdecking is just idiotic and wishful dreaming.

No.

Good grief do these whiney nerf threads never end??

It was time to start saving gold last month.

As a big priest player in Wild I'll say this...

The amount of times I get Y'Shaarj in my opening hand, or the amount of time I draw all my bombs in the first 3-4 turns, is greater than the number of times I get Barnes by turn 4, easily.

 This is a troll post, right?

This is quite the brilliant idea! Tweet it to Brode. Seriously.

I was surprised, and pleased, to see several types of decks I've made to do quests or just fool around with in casual be listed by others.

Like the OP, I made a discard Warlock deck because I pulled the quest and figured might as well. It wasn't great, but won a few here and there. I also made a divine shield paladin deck similar to what Pandabird said. It worked surprisingly well!

I also tried making a few iterations of a Druid quest deck, since I also pulled that back when Un'goro came out. It would either do great or be steamrolled quickly, but the games were fun.

The problem with priest is, that its extremly unfun to play against it.

The complete deck consists of ways to kill your board, card draw and highlander legendaries.

The absurd amount of boardclears and single removal results in a one way play. I believe Kripp was it, who titled it Single player.

So vs priest you play ur stuff and dont interact with your opponent at all. If he has the clear, you lose not, you might win.

I mean, comon... 67.3% winrate for Hunterace in 156 games to legend is absurd! (https://gyazo.com/65fcafd9d9b5257d66409b5c9b22b206)
