It is getting's terrible, i just sat down to have a quick shit and open a game of hearthstone, full muligan as token shaman, still no 1 drop, fair enough. Turn 2 for him, prince kelaseth -> shadowstep -> prince. Followed by 3/3 swashburglar and 3/3 patches turn 3 etc, its just pointless carrying on at that point.

The high rolling is making the game worse and worse, you don't even feel like decisions mean anything. Taking all skill out the game and just making it about playing 52-53% win rate decks and just grinding them for 100s of games is just tedious.

The only thing its done is stop me preordering anymore or paying at all. Blizzard are catering to low IQ players that need to feel they are good by having 50%+ win rate playing curvestone/high roll rather than allowing clever play/baiting, general game interaction. It becomes a meta of rushing down wins as soon as possible ending turn 4/5 just to play another rush game.

"all of my opponents draw Keleseth"

"I tried playing Keleseth and I straight up never drew him"

"Waaaaahhhhh"- That's you. That's what you sound like.

Personally i think Druid is doing so good is because there is currently 3 different druid decks that's strong this way they gain's win % buy making your opponent mulligan wrong.  If you mulligan for jade/big  druid, aggro druid will just overrun you alternatively if you mulligan for aggro druid you might have nothing to do in the 1st few turns giving big druid/jade time to start their game plan and just over run you with big threats after big threat.

The 2 almost completely opposite game plans make mulligans hard. You might even be able to say 3 if you consider jade Druid as an mid range deck that scales very good to the late game.

It seems like everybody and his mom is playing a mashup of Jade / Token druid right now.
At least, that was my experience yesterday anyway! Sigh!

Would be nice to face something other than this for a bit - getting a bit samey!

Haven't even seen a priest for like 2 days! Lol!

 You can always play with your friends and ask them nicely to not play druid decks. Don't have any friends? No problem. Start a thread where you ask people to join your friend list and play some fun non-meta decks. That way, everyone is happy. You're happy because you don't play against druids, druids are happy because they can enjoy the ladder without you bothering them with your beliefs of what's balanced and what's not, Blizzard is happy to see that some players are trying to find ways to enjoy the game and not ways to complain. Also, you might also create memorable moments that are worth sharing with others.

So yeah, what are you waiting for? Go have fun! 

 

This would be good advice if you could ranked match with your friends.
(I'd never matchmaker again! Lol!)
Unfortunately, you can't. So... I guess that's what I'm waiting for? Except I'm not, because that wouldn't ever happen realistically. But yeah... :-)

There is absolutely no problem with this game. It's not meant to be balanced, it's meant to be chaotic, where anything can be possible, where you can lose even if you play like a god. If it was balanced, it would be boring.

Guys, instead of crying like little kids for something you can't control, why don't you just enjoy the game and move on? Those cards that make you mad will eventually rotate out of Standard. So ask yourself: is it worth complaining about something that won't matter in the near future? Really, you can do better. I believe in you.

If you think Hearthstone is not a competitive game, then don't treat it as competitive and move on.  Complaining in the forum is......how shall i say it..... not necessary. 

Blizzard will not get upset if you believe their game is not competitive. You are free to believe what you want. You choose what God to believe in, you choose what shape the Earth is, you choose what gender you want to be identified as etc. Trust me, Blizzard will not interfere in your beliefs.

But please, be a dear and respect other's beliefs. You don't have to understand those beliefs, just accept them. Accept that Blizzard is happy with the game just the way it is, even if it's an aggro fest or an RNG fest or whatever you call it, they're happy with it and accept that Hearthstone is not like Magic nor Gwent nor whatever other card game you can think of and it shouldn't be like those games, it should be like itself.

Now, i think it's time to stop expanding this thread without the need for a moderator to lock it. Let's show this moderator that's reading all this that we are smart people and know when it's time to stop.

No need to nerf it. It will rotate next year. So yeah, might as well enjoy it.

You want to improve? Learn a new language, learn how to cook, learn how to play a music instrument, do some sports etc. There are so many ways you can improve. Leave HS alone because there's really no need to improve in it.

All these ranks you talk about don't define you. They're just numbers and nothing more. And most importantly, they reset every month. So basically, you just climb only to reach the bottom again. Not worth it.

Those real life skills I mentioned earlier will not make you a better player but they will make you a better person. Real life beats the game.

You're welcome!

And after they nerf, what are you guys going to do? I will tell you what: you're going to complain about something else like Big Priest or Fatigue Warrior.

Admit it, Jade Druid is not the problem.

Guys, you win, you lose, the Sun still rises. Take a chill pill.

well yeah. He who has money has power. How do you want to defeat the Lich King? By giving him a kiss? You need the power of money.

Guys, Jade Druid is only VIRTUALLY unbeatable, not REAL LIFE unbeatable. Real life beats the game. Please stop with these meaningless fights.

Oh, man, Blizzard apologists are getting more and more annoying.

How can you defend such incompetence?

If Druid were 90% of the ladder, would you still say ''it's fine, you just need to adapt"?
