Druid should not be nerfed to oblivion. Honestly, it shouldn't be nerfed at all. Other classes should be buffed and brought to a similar (even if not identical) power level. It will never, ever happen (rotating class power inconsistencies from one expansion to the next is literally a part of Blizzard's design philosophy), but that's the answer. Don't destroy--build. Raise up them other bitches.

Arena isn't fair, and in my opinion, it shouldn't be. Arena, like life, is about taking what you've got and what you're lucky (or unlucky) enough to be given, and then making the most of things. The only thing I wish is that *streaks* of misfortune (like me being offered only Warrior, Druid, and Hunter for three or four runs in a row, or being given no weapons as a Warrior or Paladin AGAIN) would somehow be toned down. I GET SO DAMN UNLUCKY ALL THE TIME and it makes me crazy when everyone else clearly gets much more balanced results.

tldr: I'm fine getting unlucky. It happens. I'm simply tired of *regularly* getting unlucky. My "lucky" runs are when my deck doesn't completely suck balls. My draft options are rarely ever "good."

Yeah, arena sucks sometimes. Your opponents draft GodDecks, you draft garbage water. Happens to me all the time. Sorry, bro.

10/10 META-DEFINING FOR NEXT THREE EXPANSIONS DAY ONE GOLDEN CRAFT BLIZZ TAKE MY DAMN MONEY YOU'RE NOT TAKING IT FAST ENOUGH

God, some of you people sicken me. This card is decent--as are 50% of the other cards immediately deemed "unplayable" weeks before they're available for use AND BEFORE THE FULL SET HAS EVEN BEEN REVEALED. Geez...

For the most part, I agree with you. Blizzard has made it fairly clear that for every "fix" they're determined to bring another six issues to the table within a few more weeks or months.

The only thing I'd add is this: The fundamental problem at hand is actually not Blizzard's poor design choices. Those poor design choices simply make it easier for people to do what they apparently can't resist: Find the simplest, most efficient way to secure the endorphin rush they receive from locking down a win. And this is coming from a 10+ year PvP gamer. I've seen it in strategy games, CCGs, first-person shooters, fighting games--everything. HUMANS ARE ADDICTED TO WINNING. And while that may seem like a ridiculously obvious statement, the fact that humans will do ANYTHING to win is the real issue at hand. Playing broken combos, using brain-dead/surefire strategies, straight up blatant cheating--for way too many gamers, the feel of vanquishing an opponent trumps fair play or putting in a little effort or using any imagination. And that's why even if Blizzard had designed the most balanced and fair game to ever hit the market, gamers would rabidly seek out the most broken and unfair setup in that balanced and fair game and they'd spam the living shit out of it. Whether it's simply cultural or some instinctual drive of humans to see themselves one-up all competition in the most disgusting way possible, until that changes, there will ALWAYS be one or two broken decks in the meta. The *degree* of brokenness might be better or worse than now, but humans WILL ALWAYS find a way to better secure their precious rush of win-endorphins.

Merry Christmas from Texas (which is basically its own country)!

I don't agree overall, but Kripp does have a (hilarious) BM addiction and Trump is a great educational streamer. When I first started Hearthstone, Trump filled me in on the basics.

Favorite streamer, hands down. Critics be damned, I'd like to buy the guy a beer one day.

...Is beer vegan?

Definitely been there before. Happens to me about every four or five days when I play really late at night or super early in the morning, especially on Sundays for whatever reason. My theory? The average (read: casual) Hearthstone player isn't online during those times, instead sleeping or hanging out with friends/family. The hardcore players, however, are always on, and those are some of the only people left to be matched with at, like, 3:15 a.m. on a Sunday. I also notice a ton more golden portraits/fully golden decks during those weird windows of time, and that seems to fit my argument, but that certainly isn't hard evidence.

You should go with Leeroy Jenkins simply because it goes into more decks. As for Edwin VanCleef, just replace him with a Questing Adventurer or smth.

Stan Cifka must be a Druid, 'coz he's featured in 90% of the decks that are promoted on the front page.

god i hoped for tournament mode, classic rework, card balance changes and we get kiddy movies...

Cute, but I'm not convinced by that "play nice" at the end, it's hardly representative of reality.

Then again, I'm guessing PR veto'ed the orc sending Ava a friend request just to wish her cancer...

If I had a small weng-weng I'd craft Aya to play Jades, but I don't. No teenie weenie Napoleon complex.

There's hate towards your "simple question" because it's stupid and makes no logical sense. 

All hail Jeff from the overwatch team! The offline master or something.

By joining this event a player agrees to rope on every turn. Not roping for two turns in a row will lead to a permanent ban from this and all future Lifecoach hosted events.

J\k, it should be fun to watch. Who will be casting this event?
