Gnimsh76 posted a message on Seriously, this has gone too far.Posted in: General DiscussionI reached legend this month with a homebrew mage deck, facing the usual ladder issue. From rank 17 to legend, not once did I encounter a deck that wasnt taken directly from the meta snapshots of Tempostorm/Vicious Syndicate, from an active streamer or from the frontpage of this site. Not one single time. Amazing. We are talking more than a hundred games here, not a single original deck. Didnt even experience variations or innovation, at least not from what was played/drawn.
So, upon reaching legend I decided to try out a netdeck as an experiment. More than half of my opponents were playing tempo rogue or some off-shoot of it, (Zoo lock etc), so that was my pick. Totally copied from this site, i used the rogue saronite list which I had encountered most often.
27 games later, I simply couldnt stomach it anymore. My end result was 22 wins and 5 losses. 4 losses in the mirror, 1 loss to a Raza priest. Thats a 81% winrate right there. Thats on legend rank, without any practice beforehand, other than the knowledge I picked up during my climb. I dont even play rogue that often, so I wouldnt consider myself a great rogue player or anything.
The issue was, it was SO easy. It was practically a joke. I never lost a game where I had Keleseth on my starting hand, or if I was able to curve out. I see a lot of players around the forums defending these kind of decks, making comparisons to more broken decks like the old undertaker hunter etc. Cmon guys. Is this seriously what you want the game to be? I mean, there was practically no analytical thought process required for playing this, other than thinking about what options your opponents had on the curve, each turn. If they stumbled, you were almost guaranteed a win if you had the curve play.
Mind you, this is not a salt thread. Im not upset, Im merely baffled. Do people really find enjoyment in getting handed practically free wins? and if so, why? Theres no point in going for high legend ranks anyway, unless youre a streamer who has to make a living of the game. I mean, if you want to compete you have to dedicate tons of hours to even be qualified for the tourneys, unless youre a god tier player. And then, how can you even call yourself a competitive player when the deck practically plays itself? Isnt competitive play supposed to be difficult, making tough decisions etc? The thing is, its so much more satisfying reaching rank 5 or higher with an odd deck, or your own creation. Its like eating a restaurant steak compared to a Mcdonalds cheeseburger. But I guess some people would pick the cheeseburger hehe.
In case youre wondering why I went for legend, I didnt really set out to. Theres really no point. I just enjoyed my deck and got to rank 2 on a streak, then for the hell of it finished the climb. But why not challenge yourself? Youll learn stuff, youll become better. In the end that is important if you truly want to shoot for the stars. Just think about it. Meanwhile, Ill be over here brewing my next weird concoction.

Remus88Romulus posted a message on Popular HearthPwn Standard and Wild Decks of the Week for October 8Posted in: NewsI think by now, Wild is like 64% Hearthstone players and Standard is 36% of the playerbase and super tryhard. It's ridicoulus. I play only wild and there is so so so much variety and different decks. Almost no match is the same. I love it.

Thanks a lot !

Salty priest is salty.

Try him out, I used him instead of hoarder last season, he's quite good ! Sometimes +1 Spell Dmg can be huge for board clearing, if you feel like giving up 1 damage from the hoarder.

Instructions unclear, dick got stuck in ceiling fan

Can we fit Alexstrasza, Bloodmage Thalnos, King Mukla, Sneed's Old Shredder, Foe Reaper 4000, Ysera and Mogor the Ogre ?

Thanks! The deck is quite a hybrid, I'm trying to make it better, so suggestions are welcome. Actually the deck is awesome versus most control/midrange matchups but it's rather terrible (if you don't have perfect draws) against aggro matches.

You guys are really proud that you're ruining the game for everyone else?

What a great deck hehe - stomping huntards all the time, they have to play defensively I think in 10 games against huntards I lost one because of the draws . Also switched one Azure Drake for Loatheb, this guy is just disgusting I love him and one Force of Nature for one more Druid of the Claw because I didn't have dust for a second FoN, actually works good - usually you have some kind of board before you use Savage Roar so the second FoN is a little questionable. Very fun deck to play with also!

I didn't use this handlock list man :D Quite similar though... yea with 2 mortal coils.

That's so sad... I was just starting to love handlock and began understanding the deck and the hunters ruined everything, well next season maybe I'll manage to make it past rank 3.
