Hearthpwn

I have played card games going on 15 years now. It is customary to shake your opponent's hand and tell them "good game" after every match, no matter the outcome. "Well Played" is the closest thing to that that Hearthstone has, so I always emote "Well Played" at the end of every game. If that makes me an asshole, then I guess I am an asshole.

Also, if you think about it, "Well Played" to me just means that both players "Played Well".  Are you saying that someone did not "Play Well" in a game where someone got rushed down?  Who did not "Play Well" in your situation? Was it you, or was it them?

If you want to read into it and think I'm being sarcastic or intentionally being an asshole then that sucks, but it doesn't affect me whatsoever so that's on you. At the end of the day I say "Well Played" when I win, and I say "Well Played" when I lose (even if I lose to some stupid luck/combo garbage), and I sleep just fine at night.  If you want to dwell on the intentions of people's emotes and get salty/tilted then that's your own business, but I can tell you that it's not worth even thinking about.

But seriously - because even if 1% of the people abuse it (and it would be higher, but let's lead with 1%),  

From what I've seen with Yugioh and the dueling network, the percentage would probably be closer to 80%.  With Hearthstone having more rng, people get pretty salty.

I think the option to turn something like that on would be nice, but I also don't think it would fit well with the way the game was designed (visually and functionally). Maybe something they could do in the future, but they have been pretty adamant that they don't want to do that.

I don't play too many bots, maybe one in ten games on a heady day, but I don't play at night or at low ranks so that may be what is making the difference. I don't mind it all that much, I mean it sucks, but I rarely lose to a bot.

I think hogger is playable in the right deck and in the right meta, but I don't ever see a meta where either of them would be must haves. I would DE them myself.

A sunwalker or another Belcher would be fine.  Ironbark can get blown out by Big Game Hunter so it is dangerous to play in a format where Big Game Hunter is common.

I have a control warrior deck but, as said before, don't really master it. I'm not sure if it's the right deck anyway. This is mine:

What do you think? Oh, and I'm very curious about those little changes that can be made according to the meta. The only one I know is Geddon depending on zoo or not zoo countering.

Thanks : )

Ysera and Gorehowl are goo for a slow meta, Barron is good for zoo and shaman (same with Abomination), Big Game Hunter is good for a meta with a lot of handlock and control warriors, Korkron Elite is good against zoo, and a second brawl is decent when there are a lot of zoo/handlock/shaman. There are a lot of little tweaks you can make to improve certain matchups, which is why I run it.  Warrior can be built to win pretty much any matchup, which is what keeps it always viable.

As far as your build, it looks good.  Any changes I would have would be purely personal preference.

Definately use Cairne instead of Black Knight if you have it.  Belcher isn't that hard to remove and Cairne is one of the best minions in the game in my opinion.

Buzzard should draw the cards at the end of the turn.  Honestly it's not the buzzard+hounds combo that pisses me off, it's the "I have no hand other than buzzard+unleash, so I play those and draw 2-3 cards, then play 2 webspinners and draw two more, then play hunters mark to remove your strongest minion for basically free, all while building a board and filling my hand."

If Paladin's play Rebuke, and I'm not convinced that they will, it will be because we have a control/combo meta.  Without control and combo decks, rebuke is pretty awful.  

Like anyone is actually going to play the Cube package, deathrattles and the giants, all in one deck.

Am I the only one who's enjoying OP's irony of complaining about 'degeneracy' on ladder whilst playing cube lock?

 

 Probably

I play Control Warlock

There's zero reason to play anything other than a Tier 1 deck while laddering 

Quote from Trollbert >>

Calling it now, "Closet Lock" will be a thing, maybe tier 2 or 3 standard deck.

Soulfire isn't a minion

 hey guys i got a combo for you'll say hello to mill lock  LOL  with Gnomeferatu

The problem is, with 1 more mana, in those cases, u have minions with charge, who is much better.

 

If you have a beast deck, then Tundra Rhino is better. But not all cards in hunter are beasts. So it depends mainly on your deck. 

No oxford comma, unplayable

Unless you're a full-time streamer, ladder with the fastest deck you can hit a 55% winrate with. At the moment, the best choice is Murloc or Dude Paladin. One build on HSReplay has a 61% winrate over 10,000 games with an average game length of 6 minutes. This means you gain a star on average of once every 30 minutes or so, which means it's less than 13 hours from 5 to legend.

Try to have a winrate better than 51%.  

Sick of taking forever to hit legend?  Play a faster deck.
