TallStranger posted a message on This is what ruins the game/fun etcPosted in: General DiscussionQuote from TMRobinson >>Quote from TallStranger >>Quote from TMRobinson >>The sad thing is most pros and streamers still dictate the meta and very few players actually spend the time and patience to build a deck of their own that works.Sorry, I'm throwing the BS flag here. The reason you see "netdecks" is because the decks they create (which they "actually spend the time and patience to build") ARE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. Why? Because the current crop of cards in Standard provide sufficient support for said decks. There's a reason you don't see an Undead Hunter or Pirate Shaman. You'd have to be an idiot to try to ladder with it.
I'd venture to bet that most people, if they bothered, could come up with a Quest DH deck that is 95% identical to the "meta" deck that a streamer puts together. It's not that hard. So why waste valuable time reinventing the wheel? I could grow my own food, but I'd rather go to the grocery store.
I swear, some people think it takes some deep brilliance to put together a deck of 30 cards. It's not rocket science.
No it's not rocket science and yet everyone just copies tier 1 and 2 decks from HS replay or any other deck site. I wouldn't call it deep brilliance but yes players need a deeper understanding of the game to build a deck that functions well from top to bottom (early game to late game). I'd say 1 out of every 10 games do i see someone using a meta deck that has a single different card than the net deck version. At a certain point it becomes so easy to counter because every turn is so predictable. Judging by the fact that you've posted no decks on this site and you've been a member since 2016 leads me to believe you've always copied others decks and you're trying to justify not taking the effort to do it yourself.
1) No, actually, you don't need "a deeper understanding of the game" to build a good deck. You need a few functioning brain cells and some experience playing the game. To take a dated example, look at Mech Mage. Do you honestly want to tell me that creating that deck takes a deep understanding of the game? Any idiot could create that deck in 10 minutes. Over time, people realized that certain cards weren't very good in the deck, but that's a change at the margin. The basic wincon and play choices remained pretty steady. I realize some people need to feel like they're special by saying "I create my own decks," but in most cases, they've taken 28 cards shared by all decks of that archetype, tossed in a couple different cards, and walked away telling themselves they're better than everyone else.
2) That said, the very term netdeck is stupid. As an example, I looked up deck lists for the contemporary version of Miracle Rogue. Some of the decks use Necrolord Draka, others use Astalor Bloodsworn. Some use Gone Fishin', some Tooth of Nefarian. So, which one's the netdeck? Look at any of the major archetypes and you'll find the same: 90% identical, with a few differences (often tech cards). When most people complain about netdecks, what they're really complaining about is the fact that the number of high-performing archetypes is too small.
3) As for your snide little deckbuilding comment, here's a news flash for you: One can, in fact, create a deck without posting it here. Those are two separate things. I do, periodically, create decks entirely of my own, mostly to play either in Casual or at a floor in Ladder. If I'm looking to climb the ladder, I'll typically look at 4-5 different version of the deck I'm interested in playing to see what cards are in common and which ones are different. The cards that all the decks have in common are usually going to account for 27 or 28 of the cards in the deck. Then, I'll make a decision about what the final couple of cards will be. That decision will depend on a) what cards I have/ what I'd need to craft and b) what decks I have been seeing on ladder. Does that make me a hated "netdecker?" I don't know and I don't care. I'm having fun and succeeding. In the interest of full disclosure, I will confess that sometimes I find a deck that looks good and fun, so I copy it entirely. I sure hope that doesn't make you lose respect for me. /sarcasm
4) While we're on the subject of people's decks, I took a look at yours. Yeah, I see what you mean. That N'Zoth Deathrattle Hunter was really cutting edge. I'm sure no one else thought of it. Same for your Quest DH. I'm blown away.

H1st0ry posted a message on How healthy is kazakusan for the meta?Posted in: Standard FormatThe only problem is that you can play it without the restrictions if you are just running spells. The control warrior that uses it is completely fine (also runs other dragons). I would say "Discover a treasure for each dragon in your deck". So that you NEED to run dragons. The more the better the card is.

and here's your wrong assumption. at least for most players playing Hearthstone. for them the main purpose of the game is to win, not to have fun. and there lie all the problems of the game. it comes down to the players. it always does. and always will. moral compass is obsolete. winrate is the one and only god here.
