Posted Jan 23, 2017 (Gadgetzan)I remember when rogue had a tempo variant in the beta that actually did well, other than that it's been Auctioneer + Spells up until the current version. Expansion after expansion of rogue players only taking cards that helped this combo, and really nothing else has come close to higher tiers. So when they want rogues to revolve around weapons and combos and what not as stated, why haven't they even come close to the mark? After how many expansions now?

Posted Jan 23, 2017 (Gadgetzan)No news about the CN server crash? It was so huge that every player on that server got 1000g and 15packs compensation.
