Hearthpwn

Was facing a board of galactic murlocs in the final match where my only shot of winning was for my opponent to attack first into my unstable ghoul, then have my nadina in the first position .

my opponent attacked first, triggering the ghoul.

my Nadine immediately attacks and then I see the ghoul animation play again

My Nadine dies, my d4agons never get divine shield and I lose.....

WTF

my opponent did not have a ghoul on their side they had 5 murlocs, a brann, and a megasaur.......

I thought maybe This was just an animati9n bit didn’t see anyway all of my shields got removed.

anyone see this before?

The mid game is too fast now, regularly half the lobby is gone by turn 7.

The recent balance changes fixed a lot of the issues but

Cannon is the number 1 offender for the speed of the game it should be removed and/or reworked. This is what’s holding dragons back as they ramp too late outside of a lucky early razorgore.

The problem with murlocs is brann. Remove brann and you hav much smaller murlocs and less chance to get both DS and poison.

prirstes and beast comes are fine right now.

demons could probably use a buff, I say make floating watcher scale with demons play, not damage but remove mal’ganis

If you can high roll an early razorgore you can stabilize the mid game and then work towards that kalecgos finish, but that’s just it, it’s a high roll. Just finished a match where the Alex player discovered two razorgores on turn 5. It was obvious they were going to win and they did.

The question is right there in the beginning. I suggest you reread the post. 

Anyone hit this yet? I have. Every game is either:

1. THE RNG STEAMROLL where you feel like a god while your being fed every exact minion you need when you need it,

2. THE STRUGGLE where you’re trying to eek out a top four with a garbage comp hoping for good attack RNG (this is the majority of games)

3. THE FAILGROUNDS. A.k.a turn 7 game over. where you get nothing, no decent minions, abysmal attack rng, and opponents who are experiencing the rng steamroll.

Nukber 2 has me tired of this mode every match is the same.....

If he has 3 pyroblasts in hand, he will usually go face instead of clearing the board

 

 This is completely false he  has never gone face when I have a minion on the board unless it’s for lethal.

Just got eliminated on turn 6 by a shifter zeres provided boat spitting out a sea breaker Goliath and two eliza’s. This was a 1% loss game with a 1% for the opponent to lethal. 

Super outlier but damn that rng tho. Lol

Remove brann. Brann is the only problematic murloc card.

The.problem is brann. He facilitates any late game murloc expansion and provides additional rolls from megasaur. He is the problematic murloc synergy card and doesn’t do near as much for any other class.

get rid of brann and murlocs lose their late game dominance to the point of probably needing a buff.

Man the amount of jerks on this board. Internet tough guys are everywhere. Bad luck streaks happen. Hearthstone is full of rng and over the long run it all averages out. Streamers get to 10k but remember they play hours and hours everyday. I’ve seen kripp finish 6-8 place many times but obviously these bad luck streaks don’t make the YouTube videos.

Short answer, play more and track your performance and overtime you will be able to see the small incremental improvement.

he stated why he plays like that:

He doesn't like to play against the same comps all the time, he likes to try new stuff and in higher MMR the game is shorter cause everyone plays a midrange build. 

Thats why he plays on lower, cause it gives him more game variation, and more fun.

 I was wondering if he had openly said that. Maybe I’ll try the same. The mode just isn’t fun anymore....

Why did kripp create a new BG account? He got up to 10-11k with his original BG account but now he’s down at 6k. My guess is high rank was effectively 50/50 for him. And he needed win videos so he could get YouTube views.

META - most effective tactics available.

Plot: 8400 rating, steady climb for myself. 

Pirate patch is released. 

I plunge to 6900' loss after loss.

Watching Dog, Savjz, and other high rated streamers. Yet I still lose like mad.

What am I missing? What is happening to this game? I have the biggest frustration that I can`t tell how I lose game after game. What am I missing? 

 

 

 

 You’re not missing anything, this game mode has increased in RNG significantly over time also while the skill gap has narrowed. I’ve seen huge streaks of both wins and losses, from 8K to 6k and back. Blizzard desires every mode to have a a wide RNG span so casuals can still win because those are the people who are more likely to spend money. High skill caps and rng mean casuals lose, don’t understand why and never come back. 

if you want to consistently and slowly climb like the streamers you have to play like them. 6-8 hrs a day to minimize rng. It’s just like ladder.except you have no control over what you are playing with.

Anyone not consistently getting top 4 with pirates doesn’t know how to play the class.

Wow talk about different perspectives but I’m crushing with pirates. Has both a scaling build and a deathrattle build late game. Pirates is Only losing to divine shield murlocs consistently. I guess some are having transitioning into the endgame?
