I'm typically not an aggro player, but Leroy. I swear I'll have every classic card before him.

Quote from Knifehead >>

I never accept friend quests after matches since most of the time it’s someone flaming me.

 Then quit playing t1 decks in casual!

Suns out guns out.

I've literally never had the game freeze on me.

I actually found the meta to be extremely boring too. I was about to take a bit of a break, but honestly wild has saved the game for me. I know most people brush off posts like this, but it feels good to able to play with such a huge possibility of cards. I made my own discolock deck and have been having tons of fun on it.

I hope you live a long and happy life. I love you all so much. I would hug you all If I could. Cheers.

 What do you play?

This topic seems strange to me.

This debate pretty much comes down to one batch of the playerbase wanting to dictate what the others can play in 'their mode'. 

Games should not be about allowing one group of people forcing another group of people how to play. 

You may not be able to force others not to use certain decks, but that in nowise disallows you from playing what you want.

 It's like if you played rec level sports, and you and some buddies got together for a drop in game at the local venue where other players could drop in and play, and then a full team of professionals showed up and completely dominated everyone, and said, "Why are you complaining?  It's just for fun, who cares?"  Technically there's no rule they'd be violating....but it's a dick move.  

This isn't an argument about what is or isn't in the current set of rules.  Clearly there are people who play Hearthstone that don't like queueing into high level competitive decks in a non competitive format.  Personally I like to play casual just so I can try out my far fetched ideas and play cards that don't otherwise see play.  To suggest that I just concede until I stop queueing into netdecks or just accept my loss and move on because "it's Casual, your losses don't matter" is to ask me to take zero enjoyment from playing and winning.  I'm not playing Casual to grind out 100 gold.  I'm playing it for the enjoyment.  There is no fun to be had from losing/conceding in 80 to 95% of my games.  No, my opinion isn't the only one that matters...but neither is my opinion completely meaningless.  Clearly there are players that want to have a mode that is free from high level competitive decks. 

If they're not going to be working on a new mode (spoiler: they're not), they should at least be working on improving their existing modes.  Or....not, and leaving a section of their playerbase completely ignored. 

 This is 100% spot on. Thank you.

You all play a free to enter, mobile optional, collectible card game, and you think that just because there is a ranked selection and a casual selection someone or something explicitly laid out the experience you will have/should expect in each mode? This is just pure ignorance if you are someone who curses, harasses, or puts down net-decking in casual. It is casual mode because it does not effect your current ranking...The fact it is called "Casual Mode" in no way insinuates that the experience you have is in fact the definition of "casual". It is gaming jargon for "You have nothing to gain or lose by coming here." WhY uSe CaSuAl As ThE nAmE tHeN?! Because its a 6 letter word that easily explains to virtually any age range that this zone is not tracked for any competitive purposes. Can you be competitive in this mode? YES. Does it matter if you are being competitive? NO. Do you have something to lose in ranked? YES. If you don't want to lose rank where do you go? CASUAL...WITH ANY DECK YOU PLEASE AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY BECAUSE THAT MODE IS DESIGNED TO NOT MATTER FOR TOURNAMENT, PROFESSIONAL, OR POINT/REWARD EARNING PURPOSES.

 If I'm getting your general idea why would you be against someone harassing trolling or flaming someone for netdecking or playing a t1 deck in casual? There are no rules against it and some people have fun making other people feel bad. 

 My argument is any deck can and should be played in casual. Even if it is the number one deck.

 I get your point but I think that only applies when there is diversity. Casual is like 90% t1 net decks for me and I'm sure the frustration for others stems from that as well. It is silly to dismiss someone's experience because you don't have the same. I also see those same t1 decks BMing at a much higher rate. I think if someone wants to tell someone off for that it's fine in my book and it should be fine in yours too.

 Woah woah woah are you assuming I don't deal with the same problems every other player has? I have played this game for 3 years pretty consistently and in no way am I saying I don't still see the same trends you do. In casual every day I get "Greetings" right before the turn I get executed. In casual every day I fight 5-10 bomb warriors while I'm trying to see if a heal/token druid hybrid would be good/fun. In casual every day I get Emote spammed when I'm playing something fun and my opponent is playing the top win-rate deck, crushing me mercilessly when I have to summon 20 minions of cost 0-2. Don't EVER assume I don't experience the things you are discouraged exist. I have lived in them for years, and yet I still defend their right to do it... For everyone absolutely destroying casual because they are mad/trolling/win-farming there is someone trying a deck for the first time trying to push past rank 11 and is afraid to hit the ladder for that great feeling of watching 10 pop up and they have EVERY RIGHT to play in casual first. I have hit legend and play to rank 5 basically every month. At this point I don't play in casual nearly as often. However, damn right I've been playing casual this past week because the meta is unrefined and I'd like to meme a little with fun decks before jumping back in and try-harding with the others. It is a card game, and it is online with virtually no communication. The only time you know for a fact a player is being rude is if they spam emotes left and right AND they are absolutely digging into you/roping you. Otherwise, you could very well be here complaining about someone building their confidence up with a deck to hit a record rank that makes them feel good. I stand by my previous comment.

 That's fine, but you should also be fine with the guy who gets tired of it and adds someone to flame them afterwards. If you take an all or nothing stance, you have to be that about everything.

Why do people choose to play one class only? Is it because of money issues or is it some other fundamental idea they follow related to lore? Blizzard has been upfront about it: classes at the top of the power level will keep rotating. 

Another reason to play all classes is that this simple game becomes a very different experience when you play aggressive, token, midrange, control or combo decks. Things change a lot, and it keeps the game fresh for someone who likes to explore all these different experiences. 

Mage right now is not in the best spot, but it has a tier 3/2 deck right now. Which means you can do decent with it no matter the rank. So, unless you are just looking for a tier 1 deck, I bid you farewell until the expansion when mage gets "all the love".

 +1, I can't understand the "I am only playing one class" unless you are Zetalot or Apxvoid, but even for them I can't understand why they are so fixated :P.  

I used to hate aggro decks. But after playing more and more I understood their value, and even started to like some of them(old token druid, new tempo rogue and so on). You have to play all classes and archetypes to understand the game better, unless you are limited to dust crafting cards , but even so I some "cheap" tier 1-3 decks exist in each class.  or homebrew some decks and play fun archetypes in casual without caring for your rank (rank 5 doesn't differ from legend in terms of rewards). I

 Here is the only problem with that logic. If you didn't have people that "mained" a couple of classes and didn't like a specific type of play you would see the same 3 rock paper scissors matchups on the ladder and it would be incredibly boring. Especially right, which is where I think a lot of the frustration occurs, its Warrior (Bomb/Control), Tempo Rogue, and Token Druid absolutely dominating the meta, with some zoo thrown in. If you aren't partial to one of those decks/playstyles you are basically SOL.

Today I saw a top 20 legend mage decklist posted here.

So yeah, you probably suck. People who complain usually suck, but its ok, thats another topic.

You just need to imrove your skills by watching pros and trying to understand their ingame decisions.

 Super constructive

Trust me that priest players have it significantly worse. I watched kibler play a tempo mage deck with Frogs yesterday that seemed to roll over zoo, so you could probably track that down.

While I agree that people typically don't pay attention and waste a significant portion of others time, there is a particular thread this belongs in. Can someone help me with the title...
