When someone wants to claim  that rank and skill are unrelated just show them this picture:

It's from Disguised Toast video about Patches the Pirate stats in 700 000 games.

Legend players make less mistakes than rank 5 players, it is obvious and chart above is just one example, im sure it's true for every other decision in HS. But still... there are legend players making really stupid plays (as shown on the chart).

The reason why tri-class cards are in the neutral section of your card collection is because the alternative is to make three copies of them - one in each class section and that is way worse (mostly because of search results, you search for Kazakus and get three copies of him one from each class). Also little known fact - there are three different copies of each tri-class card, they have different banners around mana cost.

After thinking about it that's actually a cool idea, and it can be extended to other "card formats". For example something like this:

Maybe it's an idea for next custom card competition? ;) Obviously it could be used only in Casual Mode. So maybe change text to reflect that.

can you explain how you got to 60 dmg?

Can someone explain to me why would you have to pay taxes for winning hearthstone packs? They are  worth 0$ in real world, aren't they?

The real world value of 50 packs is 0$. You should pre-order if:

• you can afford it
• you enjoy the game
• you want to show appreciation and support to the makers of the game
• you think that 50 packs will make considerable improvement to your experience playing the game

Lower your opponents health to 0.

Particularly in Hearthstone match-ups, people in this thread say things like "I had three games against X, I teched against that, and suddenly got three games where my tech didn't help." Their fallacy is that they assume switching cards caused the change, when in fact they were responding to something unlikely enough that it would have stopped on its own.

No no no. The fallacy here is that you believe something which you mistake to be true and then argue as though it is. You have no way of knowing what code Blizzard is really running here - that code could be doing anything. The only way to argue your case as being actual fact is to have Blizzard open source the matching making code, which would prove beyond doubt that either match making really is random/fair/etc or is somehow rigged/skewed/responsive. If you can see the difference between discussions on coin tosses and other real theoretical random events... and software... then you have to acknowledge the possibility is there and take this more seriously. As a software engineer, in the programs I create, I can control the randomness so that the very next number thats generated is exactly what I want it to be (through something called a seed) - that makes probabilistic analysis a moot point. If I can do these things, so can Blizzard's engineers, and that's just a quick example.

Each turn think 20 sec longer than usual.

• Honesty and good judgement is key.
  
  • Somebody has to go first, but the only guaranteed way to not get scammed is to go second.

1. Check the blacklist.
2. Player 1 challenges adding user to prove they have the quest.

5. Player 1 accepts and game #1 is played.
6. Player 1 challenges adding user and game #2 is played.
7. Profit!!

It is simple. The HS community is toxic as fuck and consists of spoiled salty brats. :-)

Priest of the Feast is actually the card that made the class non-terrible again.
The resurrect package is just a new approach to the class, that may or may not be better than control and dragon priest.

On a side note, Sludge Belcher would be a terrible card to run with resurrect, because of leaving the 1/2 behind.

The timeframe where it evens out is unknown though - and definitely not short term. It only evens eventually due to the law of large numbers in statistics. With the emphasis on "large".

EDIT:

For example, a fair coin toss is a Bernoulli trial. When a fair coin is flipped once, the theoretical probability that the outcome will be heads is equal to 1/2. Therefore, according to the law of large numbers, the proportion of heads in a "large" number of coin flips "should be" roughly 1/2. In particular, the proportion of heads after n flips will almost surely converge to 1/2 as n approaches infinity. 

Though the proportion of heads (and tails) approaches 1/2, almost surely the absolute difference in the number of heads and tails will become large as the number of flips becomes large. That is, the probability that the absolute difference is a small number, approaches zero as the number of flips becomes large. Also, almost surely the ratio of the absolute difference to the number of flips will approach zero. Intuitively, expected absolute difference grows, but at a slower rate than the number of flips, as the number of flips grows.

(Bolding mine). From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

I lost my first seven games in a row - six of them against mages, and one hunter... :-(

Shadowboxer nerf has to be due to Zilliax.  Otherwise it's an easy 2-card combo for the win on turn 7, or 6 with coin.

Quote from Dr_Scaphandre >>

They’re gonna milk this game as much as possible until Artifact and Gwent 1.0 comes out aren’t they? It was bad enough that they were charging $50 to preorder loot boxes, but now there’s a second preorder option, the Mega Bundle.

For those who don’t know, the regular preorder bundle is $50, and comes with 50 cardpacks, the Mecha-Jaraxxus cardback, and a free golden legendary card.

Now the Mega Bundle on the other hand is $80! What do you get for 80? You still get the cardback and golden legendary, but instead of 50 cardpacks you get 80, as well as an alternate Warlock hero portrait: Mecha-Jaraxxus.

That’s it. That’s all you get. For $30 more dollars you get a few more glorified loot boxes and a skin. $80 for a hero portrait, and it’s one that the majority of people will want too. This is beyond ridiculous. For two years they have been offering hero portraits for free where we had to do something to get them, like play WoW, or go to a Fireside Gathering, or beat Frozen Throne. They were all great. But now, they’ve locked a skin of a very popular character behind a $80 preorder paywall, that once the expansion launches you can’t get it anymore. They also said there are no plans to rerelease Mecha-Jaraxxus, so anyone who wanted to get that skin are out of luck.

I cannot fathom how ludicrous this is. $80 and all they’re offering is a skin, a skin that is highly popular. I know why they did it too, because they know people love Jaraxxus so they made him an expensive preorder bonus.

I beg you, do not buy this Mega Bundle. Vote with your wallet. Show ActiBlizz this is too far and horribly anti-consumer.

Calm down there, YongYea. You seem to be purposely omitting a thing or two in your opening post, and focusing mostly on negatives that can be taken from this.

1. Most alternate Heroes have required some sum of money. Don't play like this is a new concept. About half or more of the alternate Heroes have cost people money.
2. This game is free to play. Buying packs and spending money on the game in general helps support the company, who work hard on cards and various designs and missions. This isn't an evil thing. They are a company, a company that wants to make money. What they are offering for $80 is to be expected, and it's a pretty good bundle.

You're making this out to be worse than it is. Vote with your wallet? This isn't a Battlefront 2 level fiasco. You're whipping up sensationalism and trying to get a rowdy crowd started like all of this is new that they're doing. Are you new to Hearthstone or something? People like skins, and most people who like skins will want Mecha-Jaraxxus because it's another skin. Not everyone wants to be Gul'dan, and not everyone wants to be Nemsy.

Nice post.

Good nerf gg blizzard gg

I think warlock may actually be more fun to play and play against now that they have to flesh out their mana curve more to fill gaps. Currently if they have enough early removal and turn 5 Lackey Pact they can basically set up and instantly snowball towards victory through crazy mana efficient value plays. The nerf significantly slows down their win condition giving a lot of other decks room to operate a bit more aggressively instead of always being behind on board in the late game.

Will it change the meta? Silence will still be so good. Weapon removal might still be viable based on the now-increased value of a turn 5 Skull of the Man'ari. Polymorphs will still be so powerful.

Who knows. But still, good work blizz gg

Easy, already got my cardback.
