I remember when the App Store launched in 2008 - what a glorious time for mobile gamers. Everything was $5-10 and the games were fantastic. Then came the race to the bottom, but even those 99 cent games were some of the greatest mobile games created.
then came the free to play… couldn’t just be a demo like PC games did forever - it was the full game… FOR FREE! This is awesome!
just like everything in life that is “free”. Someone is going to pay. Here we are. In app purchase hell.
Free-to-Play: developer benefits from large user base, players benefit by playing… for free. To be competitive in Free-to-Play you need to grind more in almost all games.
Pay-to-Play: Mario, Madden, Horizons, etc. you literally pay to play.
Pay-to-Win: The only way to win is to play. I cannot even think of one F2P game where this is the case. Grind-to-Win would be more accurate.
Pay-to-save-time: this is what people are actually wanting. “I don’t want to pick from 2 heroes, because I might only have 2 bad choices. This means I have to do more games to be successful. I don’t want to pay $5 a season, so I’m upset I have to grind more.”
Not sure what a lawyer would actually do here. Just because players are not using accurate terminology doesn’t make it true.
(side note: I hate the IAP model… but most people complaining about the price of HS never played MTG. That was 1,000 times more expensive than HS to be competitive.)
I played in the 15-25 ranks when this deck was going crazy. I absolutely loved building a deck to counter this. It was so much fun beating it. I know that is not typical gameplay, but I had a lot of fun.
I love learning about the lore of these characters as I never played WoW or Warcraft 1-3, so I'm sure that red eye represents something... but it sure looks like the eye of Sauron. Lord of the Rings crossover???
I really don't understand what the issue with Barnes is. He is great on curve, but when he doesn't show up on curve... well... he isn't that good. There are a ton of cards that are better on curve. I think I'm missing something. (Yes, I know about Big Priest)

I have been away from HS for a long time. Where does this card fit in? They just did a mini set, so does this belong to the set coming out next year?

You people are relentless.

Combo disruption is crucial. Anti-combo disruption is also needed.
Rather than filler, make additional utility cards.

Really excited about this. I have all of my Wild cards, but I like having restrictions on deckbuilding outside of just standard or wild.

Really? I just became very interested in this bundle.

You get C'Thun for free when you open an Old Gods pack. That deck is a lot of fun to play a pretty cheap.
