I have been a following many streamers since I started playing HS 4 years ago, now more than ever I am seeing more of them having little to no HS content in their channels or uploading old content cause they stopped playing to name a few?

Trump, Kibler, Amaz,Firebat, and Savaj that left 3 months ago as well, wonder when Kripp is gonna start quitting HS as well.

apart from dailies I haven't been playing for a while either..here should be an announcement in 1.5 weeks about the new HS year if there isn't anything entirely new I guess I will just quit as well, I don't know why so many of us cope with this game for so long they keep it stale for too long the meta is solved too quickly and the new cards aren't played at all, as well as Blizzard destroying entire class identities cause they are too greedy to nerf their newer cards that ARE THE PROBLEM RIP druid... (never liked druid BTW)

 

 Well.. Kibler is streaming HS every weekday. Many hours. - dno about the rest. But you have to remember its the end of a rotation, and they allready all hit Legend 1 i assume, so there is not much more to do after that. Im sure they are gonna stream alot again after they release new content.

This look pretty cool.. I have been dying to try out some ned stuff, but im just not good enough to create something that will work myself.. :) +

Can someone please explain to me why noone is running Lightspawn? its saves you a silence and Inner fire.. or what?

Hi guys,

Im getting so freaking frustrated at myself atm its making me sick. No matter wich deck im playing, and that included mostly the current metas, i just cant seem to get my head arround whats going on, maybe im too offensive, maybe im too passive i dont know. I do make some wrong plays from time to time wich costs me a game, but not allways.

I have won about 500 games, on various classes. Best rank i have reached is 14, wich isnt very impressive.. :( - When i finally get a good mulligan or starting hand, the other guy seems to get their best hand aswell.

I had a game before with the Rogue quest meta, where i could get quest done at level 4, but the guy had allready burned me down before i could do much about it. Stuff like that happends alot to me, not matter wich deck im choosing to play. I feel like im outlucked 60% of the time and outplayed 40%..

Therefore im rotating alot, i know thats the worst i can do, but its just so freaking frustrating for me, that no matter what im doing, i feel like im losing.

Any good advice for a newbie? I could use about anything.

UPDATE!

Hi again, thx for some good advice, and some bad :) - Ive changed my tactic and playstyle a bit, and ive actually managed to climb to rank 11.

If that is true, you are probably really bad at the game. You need to improve a lot man. You have played lots of games and yet your best rank is 14, that really sucks dude.

what a usefull comment :)

Sorry, but I'm just telling you the truth.

Purify Priest is your man. I've been testing the deck today and it is funny to play and actually quite effective. 

As the guy a few posts up from mine here said, you can easily rank up with a super powered cancer deck and you'll win....but it won't teach you a damned thing about the game except how to flick cards onto the center of the game table.  Bear in mind that pretty much everyone getting legend or even a high rank is doing so using a massively powerful, sometimes broken deck to get there. That's fine and all but it doesn't say much about their "skill" whatsoever. It just means they played a lot and used the flavor of the month OP deck.  Not impressive.

the advice here about making one or two decks and sticking with them is good advice. Don't switch decks every ten games. Just pick a couple and go with it.  While there are things you can do to to improve, make no mistake, this is a card game with a lot of RNG elements and things out of your control.  It has taken me a while to realize that there are plenty of games where you're simply going to lose and there was NOT anything you could have done about it. Gotta just accept it. There will also be games where you draw the nuts and win through no fault of your own. That's how the game works.   Use a deck you enjoy playing and think your turns through. Get a handle on what you seem to be facing and do your best to deal with it. The game can be fun for sure but it's loaded with irritation too.  Just don't fall for the concept that the skill ceiling in this game is high. It most certainly is not. Try to enjoy it.

I'd agree with most of these posts, but I will say it sounds a bit like one thing that also might help is to adjust your mindset and how you view you progress/losses.

As far as rank/wins goes I think ~500 and hitting a plateau of 14 is probably just fine, and there's nothing to be ashamed about there. The more important thing is are you making progress? It can be something as obvious as making R14 this month and R13 the next, or something as abstract as learning who's the "beatdown" and getting better at core concepts. It's also completely legitimate that if you don't want to be bothered to work on small things to improve and would rather play in a way you find fun (a friend of mine plays rarely, but when he does he just makes Murloc decks), but you may need to stop viewing the game in a competitive light and just be content with where the win streaks take you.

As far as losing consistently to people who draw the nuts or because you draw super badly, it's important to realize the human brain is really bad at trying to find patterns to draw conclusions. You will absolutely have massive streaks where you feel like the world hates you, and streaks where you always seem to topdeck the exact cards you need, and most of the time you're probably just going to have a mix of the two. Sometimes you win/lose because of something crazy that happens from RNG, but an important part of getting better is trying to play the odds and taking the best lines to win the game. If you draw a bad hand what kind of risks will you need to take in a game to try and win still? If you're ahead what are the ways you can minimize risk and avoid having your opponent make a comeback? What outs do you have at any one point, and which ones give you the best chance to win?

I don't suggest changing decks/cards constantly if you're learning a new deck, and I feel like if your goal is to learn one of the top decks it's just better to steal a list you know someone has had work for them and learn to mulligan/pilot it well before making changes. If you don't find the list fun to play then maybe it's time to switch, but the emphasis is on that you're choosing to swap because you don't like the archetype or it's been awhile and you want a change of pace. Once you play 20-30 games with a deck you start seeing how the average impact of RNG is pretty even and I think that helps a lot with feeling like you're never lucky.

To those who are focusing on/complaining about his amount of wins and rank are idiots. Answer his question.

By the OP, I had the same EXACT problem for two seasons, and now I'm climbing fast. The more time you put in the game the better you'll get. I don't know how to explain it, but the best advice I can give you is this  : Put more time in

First of all, chill it. I'm serious - it happened to me as well. I'm no legend player, but I get into single digit ranks, although I've skipped serious laddering in the last seasons (PW...).

Try to have fun, think ahead, watch streamers etc. But most of all, think about the meta. Predict what your opponent is playing, plan your moves in advance. I know it sounds simple, but it's doable. Also try to find a deck that "fits" the meta - I'm currently experimenting with 4 decks and try to find a spot. I don't like Quest Rogue (I've liked the old Miracle Rogue much more), so now I'm looking for a good Discolock list, as well as playing Jade/Ele Shaman, Murloc Shaman and Taunt Quest Warrior. Sometimes you get shit hands and draw (yesterday I've played 3x Murloc Shaman and got 5 Murlocs in around 25 rounds total).

Watch streamers and think what cards you would play what you would do trade or attack face, and watch their actions.

Sometimes when you're on a losing streak, it's a good idea to take a day or two off.  Get some fresh air, or play something else for a few days.  When you come back to Hearthstone, it'll be with a fresh outlook.  Once you're back, pick a deck you like and stick with it for a while - 60 or so games.  The more you play it, the more you'll improve your play.  And don't be afraid to make tweaks rather than using someone else's list. 

Lastly, don't forget to have fun, whatever you do.  Keep a positive outlook, and things will improve!
