Ronninji posted a message on Six Card Nerfs Coming - Naga Sea Witch, Spiteful Summoner, and More!Posted in: NewsCan someone explain to me why they nerfed dark pact ? Been playing control warlock since WW release. I have huuuge problems with heal, but cubelock dont care about this. It could even be 0 heal. They just need to cheat out a minion with something. Didnt help anything , now im forced to play cubelock instead of controllock.

cabrenor posted a message on Mathematical PROOF that Standard Ladder is RiggedPosted in: General DiscussionI know this really is an irrelevant topic......but I still think we have a right to know. I am a Statistician by trade, with over 15 years of experience crunching p-values and t-tests. So I decided to run a statistics experiment to test my theory. I would encourage anyone to repeat my experiment and see if you get similar result.
Procedure: I climbed to Rank 5 using a Pally Murloc Deck. I rapidly ascended to this rank, and then, of course, ran into the Void Lord and Cubelocks. Earlier than rank 5, I got a fairly even mix of opponents, but because the Cubelock is dominating right now, I expected to see more of them at the higher ranks. So......I changed one card in my deck. ONE CARD. I swapped out a knife juggler for a Defias Cleaner to get an extra silence tech. I was already running 2 spellbreakers, so this card had no purpose other than to silence a voidlord.
I immediately noticed the ladder was not facing me against cubelocks anymore. Since I couldn't lose stars at that rank, I started a game, and if it wasn't a warlock, I just conceded. It literally took me 17 games to even face a warlock.......and the deck was a ZOO build....NOT Cubelock. It took me 26 concessions to find a cubelock to go against.....because I changed one card to counter that deck,
I repeated that experiment every 3 hours.....just to allow some new players to come on and off.
I used 26 matches as my standard candle. (No pun unintended)
Trial 1 : 3.8% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 2: 4.0% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 3: 4.2% chance of facing cubelock
Average: With deck holding 3 silences, instead of 2.....the chance of facing cubelock was 4.0%
OPPOSITION EXPERIMENT:
I took the Defias Cleaner out, and put my knife juggler back in.
Again standard candle of 26 games at Rank 5:
Trial 1: 73.2 % chance of facing cubelock
Trial 2: 57.6% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 3: 69.2% chance of facing cubelock
Average 66.6% chance of facing cubelock.
Remember, this is a sampling of over 150 games, 75 WITH a 3rd Silence (No Cubelocks), and 75 with only 2 Silences (Many Cubelocks)
By changing ONE card in my deck, the likelihood that I would face the deck it was DESIGNED to beat went down by a factor of 4.5. When I removed that one card, the likelihood I would face that same deck went UP by a factor of 4.
As a further test, I took out a card and added a Ravenholdt Assassin, which has the same stats as a Defias Cleaner, but no silence. I saw ZERO change in the amount of cubelocks I was facing with the card, but did only run one trial.
So right now, Pally, Priest, and Warlock, and hunter are the classes to beat. You would think you would see them on average every four games, with a couple randoms thrown in.
But based on switching out ONE card.....and running hundreds of trials I found my chance of facing a cubelock DROPPED 62% when I put in a tech card to counter it. One Single Card.....the Defias Cleaner.
I implore someone to recreate my experiment. If Blizzard is fudging the latter, we need to know about it.

LobsterEmperor posted a message on Mayor NoggenfoggerPosted in: Mayor NoggenfoggerI was going to vote "Dust it".
By Noggenfogger randomised my pick into "Meta-Defining".
For real though, this is a pretty fun card. I run it in meme decks.

I get 1-2 packs there every day, makes me sad when i see they are announcing a special event that will net you not one, but TWO packs. WOW.
Oh yeah, and arena tickets. MUCH WOW.

GloryHoley posted a message on New Warlock Hero Coming Soon - Nemsy Necrofizzle, the Gnome!Posted in: NewsSooooooo stupid that Blizzard would make this kind of event to get new content. I live in Afghanistan on a small goat farm and the only place that could host a fireside gathering in my area would be at the mall which is at least a two days ride on camel back. The mall has restricted access from the American military occupation and has become a hot bed for religious extremists and suicide bombers.
It's amazing how incredibly insensitive Blizzard is with putting on these kinds of events without having any regard for the areas that can actually host these events in a safe place, however I'm still going because I need that warlock skin to complete my collection.

CrovaxTheCursed posted a message on New Warlock Hero Coming Soon - Nemsy Necrofizzle, the Gnome!Posted in: NewsThis is BS. I live in LA, and the closest one is 70 miles away? That could be a 3 hour drive in this area, fuck that.
I wait all this time for an alt for my favorite class, and this is how I have to obtain it? Get fucked.
Maybe if I host one near me more people will come, but I don't want to go through all that hassle, especially when I would only do it for the hero skin.
