Hearthpwn

I know this happens every expansion, but this time its true.  The united in stormwind game board is so uninteractive and boring.  There are no vegetables to squish, no roller coasters, no ships to launch a cannonball at, no lasers.  There's a mailbox next to a fountain, and that's cool, a reminder of WoW at its peak in the Dalaran for the WotLK expansion.  But I can't fish in the fountain?  Why can't I pull some fish out of the fountain and send some mail, while my opponent does...whatever it is my opponents do, on their turn?

I instacede vs priest, I have 0 interest in sitting there while they heal and generate random cards.  Win or lose, it is not fun.

the nerfs are trying to hit a similar effect, concedes on turn 1 or 2.  Gibberling could be part of great opening turn by druids which just wasn't worth the time to try to beat, causing concedes on turn 1, and priest is just not worth playing against, causing concedes on turn 1.  

same reason I am still married, I haven't found anything better yet

no more miracle rogue,

 

 there will always be a miracle rogue

 my recent 5 runs of arena and only got 3 wins,

its possible to be a good player and still have a stretch of 5 arena runs where you average 3 wins.  Unlikely, but possible.  If everything rolls against you from the drafting to the draws to the RNG effects in the game to making  what appear to be minor misplays because you are now playing tilted.  5 runs isn't a large enough sample size to really say anything, just keep playing as long as you are still playing calm. Otherwise take a break and play again later.

if you had 5 runs and only won 3 games total....then you are currently bad at arena, but keep playing and you will get better.

I've reached the gold cap a couple times when tavern brawl was something where each game was win or lose by turn 2-3, or even turn 1.

I guess I have also occasionally reached it when grinding to legend on my day off, but farming for it, day after day, no way.

As for the complaining about casual, yes its annoying when you try to play a 'fun' deck and it gets smashed by optimized top tier net decks over and over but the lesson is not that 'casual needs to be changed to suit what i want it to be!', but rather ''fun' decks are never fun'.

nope, it is boring

i click play and the game starts and it is even lock and i am bored.  then i realize i am a boring person, then i feel bad about myself and then i misplay because i'm sad and then i get punished and lose and then i feel even worse about myself and i blame hearthstone.

Why do humans always have to play god?  Do we really need all these manipulations? Why can't it just be three random cards?  Sure, you get some awful picks and some awful drafts and it feels unfair to lose to one good card you were never offered, but it actually fosters SOME skill in game play of making the most of your resources and getting the most out of your crappy cards.  I guess i answered my own question, people don't want that, they just want to win. 

So you get the arena we have now where every paladin has steed on 6, vinecleaver on 7, steed #2 on 8 and then silver sword somewhere; every druid has UI right on 10; every mage has an overflowing AOE bucket of at least 6 board clears in various combinations of meteor, blizzard, flamestrike; and every rogue has a 1/2 weapon on two.  Bring back the arena days of board clear being precious and rare, getting value out of bad cards being important and coaxing my chillwind yeti's to 7 wins.

remove all aoe cards and have a 50/50 deal damage to all minions equal to the current players mana at the start of every turn, problem solved

i've played since release and this is actually the worst meta ever because the game is boring. I log in out of habit and click play and fall asleep in my chair before the 2nd doomguard even pops out of the dark pacted cube.

none of the decks are compelling or fun to play with or against, for a couple reasons.  Either they either aren't new,  (cubelock, spiteful summoner, quest rogue, aggro paladin)  or they are totally boring...the even/odd "mechanic" is so lame it should have been a tavern brawl, a gimmick for a few days not the theme of an entire expansion

yes, i would prefer any prior meta, shaman, secret paladin, undertaker, jade, reno, whatever.  It isn't about win percentages or the number of viable decks.   1000 viable boring decks is still boring.  I just don't care if i can beat a cubelock with lackey on 5 or not, it isn't interesting at all.  I don't care if i can beat a spiteful deck with summoner on 6 into tyrantus. And the two divergent paths of those situations are also true, IDC if i beat a cubelock/spiteful deck with terrible draws and IDC if i win with either of those decks, all totally boring.

 How dare you? You dare question his 10 minutes totall play time vs that boss? Why are you against everyone having this cardback? Everyone deserves to beat said boss with 0 effort!! Are you a racist? He paid 0$ for this! He deserves this free content, which totally defines your gameplay in everyway you can imagine!!!!

logged in just so i could click the like button on that one

also, played thru the monster hunt three times to see if it was really so easy, it was...and never lost to this one. at first the 6/3's reshuffle and draw a card seem OP but then you just play conservative, keep her board under control and wait for her to play cult master/doom and mill her

I thought it was quite a bit easier, went 38-1 so far...and the one loss was because i can't count to 3 successfully 100% of the time.

There is randomness of course, in the buckets you get and the draws during the game so maybe i was just lucky...i don't really think so, i think its easier but i could be wrong.

i am not having fun since i still play against 50% cubelock, (i am not saying the meta is 50% cubelock but through 47 ranked matches since witchwood came out at ranks 2-legendary i have played 24 cubelocks)

however i do have fun when i get a shudderwock shaman, 100% win rate for me

why can't we hall of fame people who make short sighted, reactionary and ignorant threads?

at least i know what the first legendary i will open will be
