They committed suicide during a company trip.
There are allegations of nude photos of her having been passed around during that same trip among other things.
I said it before and I'll say it again: Y'all need to read the allegations.

I think you're looking too far into this.
Both of them kept their responses short.
I said this in another comment, but they're not "virtue signalling". If they wanted attention, they'd get it through doing card reveals.
I agree that there are better ways of trying to make a difference and I wouldn't be surprised if they DO try to do more in the future.

Look at the allegations man.
If they wanted attention, they'd get it by doing the card reveals.

NOBODY. FUCKING NOBODY should be accused of "virtue signalling" for deciding not to associate themselves with a company being accused of harassing someone to suicide.

Why are people even mad about cards not being revealed?

Just look at the allegations against Blizzard. This is some seriously messed up shit.
Even if it was for the fans, who would want to associate themselves with Blizzard after this has been brought to light?

I'm usually a filthy priest player.
Don't hate me too much, I mostly just play priest because I don't like aggro and because priest often has the tools to answer whatever deck happens to be t1 at a given time. I generally avoid playing decks that seem degenerate like Raza/Shadowreaper because I'm f2p and don't own shadowreaper.

I haven't really played priest this expansion though, priest sucks this expansion. It feels like that's mostly because, while making this expansion, the devs were like:
"Hmmmm, Let's remove all of priest's card draw and force them to generate cards in order to play more than one card per turn. Nevermind how this will ruin any kind of consistency in priest decks."

And now, all of a sudden they're saying:
"Why are priests generating so many cards? There's no consistency in games vs priests. Gotta nerf that shit"

I'm not a huge fan of these "reworked class identities", but if they're gonna do it, at least commit to the new class identities.

Some random salty thoughts...

Can someone tell me how many players playtest the cards they design before it's released?
I wonder how terrible balanced the internal meta was during internal playtesting...

And why are they only nerfing and not buffing bad cards... I hate there point of view of fixing the current meta

 The meta is constantly changing. If one deck is strong, then people start playing decks that are good against it, then people start playing decks that are good against THAT one, and so on.
That said, I'm with you in wondering why they thought things like secret paladin was ok. It doesn't really have any BAD matchups except sometimes mage.

They have buffed cards in the past but that's dangerous because buffing cards can break the game more easily than nerfing cards. See rogue in duels destroying the early games now that quest is unnerfed.

Daily Tickatus QQ 

The card completely delete priest without almost any counter play, the match up would be actually fun and fair without this card.

 It's cute that you think priest has any shred of chance against jaraxxus.

J-rax is the classic priest killer. But part of the reason hasn't been played in a while (even after sac pact nerf) was because priest COULD beat Jaraxxus.
Priest has Ruin and Soul Mirror now, Res Priest of last expansion would have actually stood a chance. If they get lucky with Lazul or Thoughtsteal priest can even steal Jaraxxus. It would still be an unfavorable matchup, but not the impossible one that it used to be.

That said, current priest probably doesn't have that hope anymore. While all the cards I listed except Lazul are still in standard, now that the res package and Galakrond are gone, Priest doesn't have a win condition anymore so they just lose to basically everything, Jaraxxus included.

I'm not advocating for Res Priest, I'm just as happy to see infiltrator gone as the next guy, I'm just saying that priest is trashy right now with a lot of situational board clears, and equally situational value generation. They don't have card draw so they need a sethekk to stick in order to generate random spells in order to hopefully maybe find a way to respond to what the opponent is doing. They can try neutral packages, but again, no card draw makes priest worse at using those cards than any other class.
Paladin has a similar card draw issue, but has always made up for it with cards that have powerful stats and effects for their cost. Control Warlock has a similar issue where they rely heavily on removal, but has crazy amounts of draw with their hero power to get that removal and their win conditions.

Priest's boons are supposed to be "Being able to keep their minions alive" and "Stealing the opponent's tempo" but all of those things are dependent on priest actually drawing the right cards for the situation, which they currently can't do reliably.

Somehow this turned into a rant about priest, but I guess that's what this thread is for.

2nd time this has happened in a week.Game starts and opponents avatar is froze big in the middle of screen until draw is over.When game begins my turn is completely lagged out and get maybe 5 secs to do anything.Players turn they get no lag whatsoever and give me a smartass emote to end their turn.Needless to say with no time to play anything to counter they win fast and emote again with a thank you.This last time same thing with player avatar froze in the middle until start of game.This time though opponent takes turn and ends.On my turn lag immediatly starts and i cant play anything.It would not let me end turn much less play anything.I sat in game for almost 10 minutes and finally quit game to desktop.I recieved the loss and he got the win.Anyone else experiance anything like this?

 

 I had this a day or two ago. I just restarted the game.

Also Hunter.
Hunter gets the same honourable mention as Rogue.

Basically you're playing aggro af or, if you can miraculously survive said aggro, you're dying to warlock.

Then Felosophy becomes so much better. To corrupt it at 6 mana you need to drop big removal, Soulsiologist, J-Rax or uncorrupted strong man.
At 4 mana it can be corrupted with just Taelon, Ogre or Rustwix, and they can play 2 in a turn.

I feel like warlock's huge amount of removal is also partially to blame. 
The deck is almost entirely removal or removal synergy with Ticketus, J-rax, Y'shaarj and taelon to tutor Y'shaarj as the top end.

I just want to do fun things, I want to make a deck with my N'zoth or Kargal. I want to try out the new legendaries in the Core set.

It feels like I can't beat the crazy early game of secret paly without the infinite removal of warlock, I can't get around the removal of warlock without going over the top with burn mage, I can't survive the burn mage without the crazy aggro of secret paly.
Rogue gets an honourable mention for doing basically the same thing as mage but being weak to taunt.

Not fuck paladin players, not fuck mage player, fuck blizzard designers that don't know how to balance their game and fuck me for playing their game.

 Sorry dude but it's still the players playing those f**king decks. Nobody forces them to do so. Enough excuses. If I deem a deck unfair and broken I don't play it. This game's community is mostly made up of degenerate imbeciles. Period.

 They are just abusing the tools that devs gave them. There's an old saying that goes by "if it's in the game, it's meant to be used". Devs and designers are allowing this to happen, players are just a product of the game and its rules. You can hate the players all you want, they're not the primary culprits.

Ok. So there are guns in the store. They sell them. So I may just as well buy one and shoot the store's cashier, right? After all he's the one that sold it to me, right? That's his fault. Or the government that allows the store to sell guns. Because "if they're selling them, they're meant to be used"! Yeah, correct. Let's blame it all on Blizzard.

 Pretty sure shooting the cashier is against the government's rules.

Fuck the devs seriously, give all the good shit to warlock and remove all from priest and dont give them anything good.

 

GIVE US TOOOLS TO COUNTER  TICKATUS OR NERF IT HOLY SHIT.

SERIOUSLY WTF PRIEST VS WL IS SUCH A JOKE, ITS LIKE A SHEEP VS A WOLF

I'm outing myself as a priest player here but exactly this^.

On one hand, I can understand "Ticketus is supposed to be a counter to control" and "Jaraxxus has traditionally been the priest destroyer" but JEEZ. By that logic priest should be the counter to aggro secret paly but that's definitely not the case.

Warlock is just the only control class right now and their win condition is so strong, it doesn't actually require any synergy. So besides Ticketus, J-rax and Y'sjaarj the whole deck is removal or removal synergy.

Ugh,
Even if Paly and Mage are nerfed then we go back to Ticketus warlock every other game and that's just removal all game and then deletes my deck and plays free giants. If THAT gets nerfed then we're back to "Oops, all aggro" again.
Not to mention that Paly still has the pure package to fall back on.

It feels like I'm either getting my face mashed in so quickly that I can't do anything interesting or I'm playing against the same decks over and over again.

Sure, what's "interesting" is subjective, but I hate the matchups like Paladin where the strategy seems to be "pray they have bad draw" even when I have what should be reasonable early game.
