Anyone actually got a Noz game yet. Just played 10 or 11 games and didn’t see a single Noz. Saw a bunch of T1 net decks though in casual.

Don't you talk trash about my Wild Elemental Shaman >:(

 I bet shaman is a blast in wild with all the effects it’s had over the years. 

I’ve played a fair amount of shaman (only hero I’ve got 1000 win portrait with) and I think they’ve always had at least 1 archetype that was interesting to play. Shaman in standard has got to have the most boring set of cards of any class ever right now though. I go into the deck builder and there is no inspiration at all. Murloc and totem shaman have always been dull as dishwater, and the new elemental package is just bleurgh when you consider what cards in other classes are doing. I’m not demanding shaman gets shudderwock power level cards all the time, as I much prefer interesting games that ebb and flow even if I lose, but one or two more inventive cards would be appreciated  

I don’t want shaman to be t1 OP, I just want it to be interesting to play. 

No I'd rather just see a competitive game with consistency from the developers rather than them cowing to a vocal minority in the community as that is a dangerous path to go down.

Well said.  If ops post hadn't been laden with thinly veiled insults pointed towards the people and issues that obviously annoy him it may have been an interesting topic. 

There's a good argument for both sides with a card with such specific text that it only synergizes with the exact cards that are being nerfed. I think it would be fair and maybe a gesture of goodwill for blizz to refund kargal for full dust, but for the consistency of the game I can also understand why they're probably not going to. 

I hope you're right. I still can't quite believe that a card that casts such a massive shadow over deck building was printed. The people who defend it are the people who just want 'instant gratification' and don't actually care about the health of the game as a whole

Stats on minions mean nothing in modern HS.

If I got 1 dust each time someone asked, I could craft a golden legendary.

 If I got 1 dust for every unnecessary comment I could craft a golden expansion set

To be honest this is the 27 millionth thread on the subject. 

Attacking face is attacking. Your Rokara would say "If a friendly minion attacks an enemy minion and survives..."

It works right now as intended.

 Link it and I’ll give it a go. Would be good to play a bit again.

Well, colour me surprised. That news came fast. I guess I was wrong about them.

I'm happy for all the people that wanted this.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say.

You miss the point where people are not complaining about Tickatus power level, they are complaining about its wrong design.

If Tickatus and Deck of lunacy 2 mana had 10% winrate and they were the worst decks in the game to climb, the issue still persist.

Winrate or power level are irrelevant to the argument

Tickatus is toxic but defenders of it are more toxic.

I think the art work is amazing so far with some exceptions ofc but that's just me, you cant please everybody...

I never understand people’s fascination with cosmetics... it’s purely psychological “superiority” and nothing more.

“Hey look at me - I have a diamond card and you don’t” kind of thing. It’s the same with the coins and so on. The game experience is exactly the same even if you use the basic light blue card back.

 And of course blizzard like many other game companies know that people want to feel superior than others and make the most out of it! 

i dont understand why ppl complain about balance in wild. It's never gonna be balanced just like any other CCG/TCG. 
Look at magic, its even worse there's infinite loops to kill people and stuff like that.

OP, I'm on your side on all accounts here, there definitely would seem like there is something working behind the scenes to make the matchups happen this way, but is it really happening, or do we just think it is?

I have to admit, I have experienced this before as well. I mean, if I make up something weird that definitely isn't popular at the moment, and then my first game queued up is against almost the same thing... Or if you play a ton of games and then switch decks, suddenly facing different classes entirely... it really feels like there is something there. But for what purpose?

It certainly hasn't happened enough to make me start a tinfoil hat argument over it. There are enough people on this forum that think the game is programmed to do this for their own personal suffering, but I feel like it might be another reason and the only explanation anyone can come up with is that Blizzard is "keeping us at 50% win rate".

Anyway, until Blizzard openly comes out and explains how they've programmed the matchmaking, it will always be a topic for debate and everyone will think they're right.
