OP is very naive, it's ok they're probably young and do not yet understand how these big and ugly corps work yet.

Have no illusions, Activision Blizzard FOR SURE is getting the better end of the deal in the long run or they would not make this radical change in the first place. I bet this kind of business model is the most profitable on the market right now. Do not eat all this mumbo jumbo about you benefiting from a change a heavily profit-oriented company is making. Think for yourselves.

 this, I did not read through the whole thing, but my first thought was 'such naivity..."

@OP: there is a business side to any gaming company and they tend to make these decisions, as opposed to game designers, balance team, etc. These people have to propose the shareholders how they will grow profits this year. This is how they will do it.

They are not spending time and resources to "repackage your rewards", the sole purpose is money. Any system that will be put in place will be designed to extract more cash from players. The reason why there is a survey is to find out how far they can go with it without losing a large amount of players. 

I have been having this for a long time now and reinstall didn't help. "Update" only takes a couple seconds though

Only amateurs call shaman overpowered.

i think it’s Same people ever expansion. Hearthpwn.com people playing rank 20 - rank 5 with their self copied netdecks. But on hearthpwn forum they suddenly become legendary grandmaster players. They state their experience as the meta and their opinion as a Fact.

Edit: oh sometimes they also think solo adventures are too difficult. Lmao

Quote from Oroveso >>

I have read a number of posts saying that Quest Shaman is not overpowered, and that only amateurs have trouble beating it. I assume over 90% of hearthstone players are amateurs, so I am wondering from the pros or experts that say quest shaman is not too strong, are there any decks currently in the meta that you see as a problem? Or do you think the game is actually pretty balanced right now?

 purple currently concedes every game against shamans on stream :) "it's so toxic, maybe they will do something about it"

Quote from Shadowrisen >>

Never understand why people feel the need to virtue signal.  If you feel strongly about an issue, by all means, let yourself be heard.

But when you get on someone else's case for referring to the issue as "not a big deal" in the clear and obvious context of impact on twitch chat and streamer content, you're just ignoring reality to make yourself feel better about your moral standing.

I'm not in HK.  No one I care about beyond one human being to another is in HK.  Probably the most direct impact this entire event will have on my life is having to watch Pathra bumble thru another year of GM.  If that doesn't qualify as "not a big deal", I don't know what does.

Meanwhile, the idea that we're supposed to fall out of our chairs and leap to action whenever oppression is taking place in the world is ludicrous.  Where's your post about Sudan?  Turkey?  South Africa?  Syria?  For that matter, if you're American, the death toll on a weekend in Chicago is more noteworthy, so where's the outrage?

I'm sorry the guy got banned; I wish Blizzard would not kow tow that enthusiastically.  I am, however, not surprised in the least.  Furthermore, if you're calling on a streamer or some third party like that to do something about it, you have to at least be able to make a credible case as to what his/her self-sacrifice could accomplish, and in this case there is no reason to believe any one individual could affect Blizzard policy in the least.

 What a despicable comment

I haven't had a fav player, I have now

another game decided by mind control tech in arena (a banned card, except it's totally back via the countless discover effects). Out of 4 minions it obviously takes the violet worm, not the 1/1, 2/2-s... 

seems like in avg the 4th tess is when warriors retire lol

Love this thread

congrats

Why do you hate fun and interactive gameplay OP?

Quote from stutt3rfly >>

100% worth in my opinion...it’s going to be around for a long time and hopefully the meta will not be aggro forever lol :)

Tickatus may be the reason why aggro will stay popular and control will have no chance to live...

  • If both users have posted, the newest account must start the first match.
• If you initiate a trade with someone, you must both complete your quest.

  • A proof challenge involves both players agreeing to challenge each other in to see the quest.
  • If the other person refuses a proof challenge, be careful. It is likely they don't actually have the quest.
• Avoid any other methods of "proof" like screenshots. Screenshots are always from the past.
• Honesty and good judgement is key.
  
  • Somebody has to go first, but the only guaranteed way to not get scammed is to go second.
  • If anyone is aggressive about making you go first and/or threatens you, they are probably trying to scam.

1. Check the blacklist.
2. Player 1 challenges adding user to prove they have the quest.

4. Player 2 challenges posting user to prove they have the quest.
5. Player 1 accepts and game #1 is played.
6. Player 1 challenges adding user and game #2 is played.
7. Profit!!

We Galakrond Secret Rogue players will farm you. We will sap your minions, out value you with lackeys, shuffle additional Kronxes into our deck, draw zero mana cards and bamboozle you hard. You stood no chance KEKW.

"I don't care what the stats say" is a pretty good reason to ignore everything else you said. Tirion had an astronomical winrate across hundreds of thousands of games - your anecdotal view of him is literally irrelevant to his position in the meta.

"Random" Dragons. This was literally back to back games.

Side Note: THIS is why I frequent the Salty Thread. Stuff like this isn't "random" for me. It's regular. When I play Dragonqueen, I get Faerie Dragons, Azure Explorers, Bronze Explorers, Bronze Heralds, and Scion of Ruin on a non-Galakrond class.

 The worst one for me was Mage who went Dragonqueen Alexstrasza into Alexstrasza my face, oh and they also got a 0 mana Kalecgos Which allowed them to use Conjurer's Calling twice on their 9 drop to create 2 King Krush.  I had to walk away from the computer after that one, it was such a disgusting way to lose.

 Lol I think i was the other guy

I know things are still shaking out, but according to HsReplay the worst matchup is Holy Wrath Paladin: 49.41%, lol

Look at all that green!

 Where do you see the 2x 2/1 rush in this card? The rush tokens come only when you play Galakrond

 Invoke

 Only play a single card, 0 tempo loss and get full effect from the hero card.

It is time to nerf shaman? Or we have to wait two months of 80% shaman ladder before something be done?
