The amount of dick swinging over a children’s card game in this thread is brilliant. Some of you lads really need to get something more important to worry about. 

I don't care about cosmtics, but I also dont give a flying shit what other people do and don't spend their money on and neither should you. This thread and the greedy blizz thread get made every time a new paid cosmetic comes out. These forums are like Groundhog day.

I am not a fan of Zeddy, but if i had to chose I will chose him everyday over the marketing bots without self-respect that keep parroting "the game is fine and dev team is talented", cause the latter is way more false and cringe than anything Zeddy could say in his entire playlist.

Don't forget you are consumers not Blizzard sons, and show some self-respect and critical skill.

 As mentioned elsewhere, if you believe that Zeddy is doing anything but going on the forums and parroting whetever latest thing is upsetting the community for clicks and views then you need to take your own advice. Zeddy is just the otherside of the same coin and his whiny bullshit is just as useful to Blizz as the shills that peddle their wears.

Jesus. There's a few people in this thread who would like to do a bit more with Zeddy than just play HS with him I think...

Old article but does make interesting reading as to why Blizz MIGHT be shaping the game to suit the Chinese market...

And your "News" is garbage.

Everyone knows already that Cheatstone can´t play more than 5-7 Turns....

 The average turn in which the game ends is...turn 8. Just like *drumroll* last expansion. Amazing.

 So this proves *drumroll* the game has been going shit longer than this expansion. Amazing.

 Zeddy is a massive universe sized cunt. I'll take the ban.

These ideas are so busted I think you could actually get a job at Blizzard. All these are far, far too strong.

I think standard and through association wild is at a cross roads right now. At the next rotation blizz can either

a. Do the mass rebalance that there has been rumblings of and tone down card effects from that point forward.

b. Keep to the status quo and just keep increasing power levels the way they are until all games last 5 minutes including roping.

Personally after seeing mercenaries, the amount of BGs skins released and how much they cost and what could be percieved as a lack of care for the base game, I can only imagine they're moving HS into a phase transitioning away from its roots and into pure mobile territory, if not just running it into the ground while making maximum profits. I wouldn't be suprised if in the next 24 months either mercenaries or BGs becomes the main 'e sport' depending on which is more successful.

There is no doubt that Blizz is not the more fan focused company it once was anymore (maybe for the better with recent revelations), and anyone who thinks as a business they care about your feelings over making as much cash as possible is a fool. I have no ill feeling towards them as it is their product to do with as they see fit and they probably have a mountain of cold hard data to back up any decisions they make as a business. Plus in the real world there are much more important things to worry about than how balanced HS.

Am I sad HS is not the game I've enjoyed so much over the past 4 years? A little. Will I lose any sleep over it? Much like what happened with WoW, not a second.

Best version of Q lock doesn't play stealer, so technically now all we're going to see is the most optimised version. I'm not sure if doing something about the quests is going to hurt some designer's feelings but they're obviously not going to deal with the root of the problem.

When will people learn these stereotypes exist in all forms of competition and are perfectly valid tactics. If they're annoying you then they're probably working too.

If you own a product which earn you tons of money you will probably do everything as well to control every aspect of it. This is understandable from the owner's side and it can be a frustrating experience at the player's side.

 I mean, you are not wrong. But we need to ask 2 questions if we think the game is rigged:

1. How much profit increase does have Blizzard by rigging the game?

2. How much can they lose if its ever get confirmed?

So do you think its worth for the company? Because I think any sane person would just quit the game as soon as there is a proof of rigged rng. And I also think that rigging their game would NOT increase their profits at all.

Sorry friend… but “yes” it is very much worth it to this company… if you don’t think it will increase their profits then I don’t know what to say without sounding condescending. Controlling winrates, matchups, even card draw is very beneficial to the bottom line.

 I dont know about you, but my winrate doesnt affect my spendings on the game.

 It would if you lost every game because you wouldn't play anymore, unless you were a masochist.

Why do so many people get sand in their vaginas over this topic? It's like you're insulting their favourite hot tub streamer or something.

 Anyone who thinks that the decks you queue into aren't based on the decks you play are kidding themselves. If you're blinkered enough not to see this you can throw as many crap insults and be as clever as you want.

I'm not sure why people get so touchy about this topic to be honest.
