Hearthpwn

5 games, 0 wins in the rank 7 (now 8) range. Lul didn't get to play Kael once. Draws were terrible. Matchups were even worse. Yet other "free" card that will collect dust in my collection. 

What rank?

100%? Must be getting god draws.

Are they going to do something about fucking Rogue?  Like like set card generation limits to 10 cards a game MAX.  Or just delete Lackeys altogether.  Im so sick of them having unlimited card draw every single turn.  It never ends.  Why is this allowed?  Whos in charge of this crap?  No matter what you do you cant possibly deal with it.  They have removal, boards, healing, whatever.  And they steal a bunch of cards they shouldnt have access to.

Theres your "design limitation" argument.  Please nerf Rogue into the ground so it sucks for like 2 years.  Please.  Thanks.

 Hunter main confirmed. 

Quest for 2 games in BGs. 

First game 5/8 heroes were dragons. What a joke of an update. 

Second game, choose Jaraxxus, no demons from Bob in first 2 rounds. Concede and collect my gold.

Reaffirms why I refuse to play this mode. Stop supporting this crap.

Like all games and life in general, this is a game of skill and chance, the weighting of each being different in different games.  For this reason, some people prefer gambling, some poker and others backgammon.  Choose the right game for you.  Then, if one exists, apply the appropriate statistical strategy to win more games than you lose over the long run and learn to ignore the streaks and outliers that might lead you astray.

 You're seriously going to compare HS to poker?? Lul

 HS and online poker are actually extremely comparable, lol

 What poker are you playing? Never seen a poker game where something other than the cards in the deck were thrown down. At least with poker I know the exact 52 cards in the deck and the odds of plays. HS, pfft, that went out the window yearsssss ago.

If you want to reach legend, then just playing better. If you want that card back, you need fight for it. Actually everyone who have a brain and a meta deck could reach legend with time. So it is exactly like IRL: you either need investing time(hardworking) or you born with superior skill.  Obiviously i will lost incentive to play if i know legends rank was fill with nothing but loads of idiots.  What then the point of reaching legend ?

 This sums it up - the legend rank is a function of playing a broken meta deck and playing a lot of games.  Not much else.  They've thrown the skill and strategy out the window over the last couple years.  Its gone.  Forget it.  Until they get realistic and STOP with unlimited card discovery, allowing classes access to cards that they shouldnt, allowing decks to end up with 4-6 copies of brutally powerfuls cards  that break deck rules, printing super-cheesey/ass-saving cards & of course endless lackey generation.... this game aint gonna be abut nothing except for two factors:

1. What matchup did my busted deck get matched against?  If good = I win game.  If bad = I lose game.
2. Did me or my opponent draw our impossible to defend against crap first?  Or  if against Rogue, did they get the right lackey(usually they do)? 

Thats it, kids.  Facts are facts. Enjoy.

Nothing better than not drawing activators 10 cards into a game. I wish I could “skill” my way to a win with no deck synergy being draw. Tell me again this is a game of “skill” and not chance.

 this is a game of "skill" , not chance.

 You're trolling.

confirmation bias vs. actual monthly matchup data

 

so here’s my question for the excuse crew;

 

why do the top players manage just fine? they all make it into legend without issue, without jamming 3000 games.

 

how many games do you have on that tier one deck and many times have you played the mirror, would you even know what and how to tech?

 

watch some top player streams that play the deck you are using you will immediately see how differently you would play and what you could improve. if you don’t want to do that just play the decision reduced on curve decks there are always those every meta.

 Bruh. You're trying to compare professionals to amateurs. That's like saying, just watch football on TV and you'll get better. 

Obviously, some people are better at certain things and they have the time to invest in their craft. Joe Casual playing Hearthstone with their spare time shouldn't be compared to a professional that does this 8+ hours a day, as a job, not as a hobby.

You're takes in this thread are so elitist. Take a second and jump down off that high horse you're sitting on looking down at the plebs and understand that it's ok to be frustrated with something. I'm sure there's something you do that you can't put all you time in that frustrates you (and if you say no, then I know you're just trolling).

The issue is finding a deck that a) has a good chance and b) is enjoyable. 

Maybe that's my issue, the decks I find in b) don't go with a) and vice versa. 

Quote from Live4vrRdieTryn >>

When climbing its generally good to pick one deck that has been proven to win in the given month. Jumping around to other decks causes you to change gears and it's better to tech the one deck to the meta than to jump around (unless everyone is suddenly playing a deck that counters yours).

 Which is usually the case. 

Quote from Mackie264 >>

Your problem is that you keep switching decks thinking they are the problem but YOU are the problem. And no I'm not on the git gud vibe but that's all there is to do.

You are playing very good decks, both Gala Warrior and Quest Druid are like Low tier 1 - High tier 2 at worst and you can climb to top 1 legend with either if you're skilled enough so the decks are clearly not the issue, there won't be a magical deck that will make you climbto 10 or 5 or legend out of the sudden, it's just about the decisions you're making, your misplays. You can literally get even to rank 5 with like super budget decks so trust me, it has nothing to do with the decks you're playing.

Unexperienced player often think that when they start losing it's the deck's fault or just 'oh never lucky, I keep getting the exact counter to my deck every game' but that's usually just a way to justify their misplays. Changing decks does nothing, one of the most important skills in any card game is learning match-ups, learning the ins and outs of your deck against every single opponent (which also allows you to know proper MU btw) and if you keep jumping between decks every time you lose then you'll learn nothing. If you0re playing a tier 1-2 deck that has been proven to be good countless times then you're definitely the problem, start looking at how you could improve as a player and not for a magical deck that will make you climb.

 

 How can any rational person experience a losing streak or a back and forth and feel like it's not their fault? The amount of swing this game has at any moment is absurd. Even if you're playing the same deck through these swings, you can't help but feel like you're doing something wrong. 

And note, it's sad that if you don't want to play the tier 1 decks (mech pally/dragon hunter), it's a toss up. Just a sad state of the meta IMO.
