Hearthstone wasn't always the RNG Fiesta it is now. Back in Vanilla and Naxx the RNG was at a minimum. It wasn't until Goblins vs Gnomes that they went overboard with it.
It didn't cost him "that much", what he spent was merely a part of what he earned thanks to streaming and youtube. He should do what he wants, and that means playing/commiting on the game he wants. Gwent is new, more complex and challenging, it's extremely apparent Noxious is enjoying himself far more right now.
tl;dr he does whatever he wants, and doesn't owe any justification for it. Actually, a lot of people are starting to watch his youtube videos because he went to Gwent. The RNG and lack of complexity are getting sickening on Hearthstone. Another player I am surprised didn't leave yet is Kripparian.
That philosophy is what Blizzard is counting on - oh, they've invested so much time and money, they'll never leave! That's why they barely put effort into fixing anything. They did the exact same thing with WoW as the game spiraled into the gutter - counting on people's mental blocks preventing them from abandoning their accounts that they put so much time into.
Break the chain.
Another wannabe-pro has chosen to advertise gwent, i suppose.
When and at what event? Couldn't have been a reacently major tournament.
Was in fact. Noxious played super well and looked like he was gonna win last rnd of g5, but life coach did life coach things
What tournament? (Link whould be fine.)
@" but life coach did life coach things" = roping every turn
He took second because of "gasp" you guessed it..RNG. Trying to say Gwent has none or little RNG is just as ridiculous as saying Hearthstone or Poker don't have RNG. They all have it in some form. I personally enjoy both games but i am not stupid enough to say one is better or worse than the other because that would just be lying.
Kripp won't leave till they pay him for it, so calm down.
I recently started playing Clash Royale instead of Hearthstone, and i instantly noticed how they managed to make a far better ladder system + in-game community (clans) from day 1 than team 5 has done in over 3 years.
Adding to that, team 5 already has a huge Blizzard / WoW community to their disposal, yet they make absolutely no effort at translating that into any form of guild / communication / achievement system.
faeria is a better game, gwent is a better game, elder scrolls legends is as well for the f2p model, maybe even shadowverse adn eternal card game. they learned a lot from hearthsone and improved massively upon it's game design /- philosophy
and they need actual skill and have quite minor RNG or almost none and are waaaaay cheaper
so, why shouldn't he leave? i can understand that
SuperJJ,then Lifecoach,then TidesofTime and now Noxious.Instead of hating and make these comments just give yourselves 5 min and think why these "pro" players left the HS scene.In my eyes,I can feel their disappointment that the game is going the wrong way but I also want to believe that Blizzard will change some things.If not you will see more players in the future doing the same thing not cause Gwent is better but because Gwent or other card game will be more friendly and balanced towards its players and community.
Kripparian sucks at tournaments and ranked play, he is just arena player. Toast - nice joke there(is annoying piece of shit). Only one pro is Trump.
If you look carefully what you are writing you will understand that you fully miss the point.Blizzard doesn't care about f2p players I know and I admit it.But the problem is that Blizzard doesn't care also about players that pay.And look that from your perspective.You go somewhere and pay some money to have fun and to be competitive and they say to you that we cant provide you with something more and fun is gone..Will you go again and give them money?If you do you are idiot from my point of view.That's why people search for something more friendly to them as i said.You pay and you want your money worth it not go wasted.Unless you are Kripp and get money from your viewers and throw them like nothing in a game(he spent ~1200 dollars for new expansion if we believe what he says).That doesn't mean he buys fun from the game.I watch Kripp when I can,cause I'm in Europe and Kripp streams early in the morning,but I don't see him having fun as he had in early stages of the game.He understands that the game provide him a lot of money and that's why he plays it.Other players though,they don't care "only" for their income but also for their fun and for the competitive scene.And to be honest their fun as mine also had already gone away when there is so many inconsistency in the game for a long time.For the competitive scene I can't say more cause I was never a part of it,I only play game for the fun they provide.
And to give you a simple example to understand what I'm saying,Mercendes is one of the best cars out there(like Ferrari,Lamborghini etc),that doesn't mean automatically that their mechanics/working and developing staff don't fix mechanical or any other issues or they don't upgrade things everyday for the best of their customers.They do and they do it daily,that's why these enterprises will always be at the top even if they are still expensive enough for casual people.If you see that someone try to give you the best thing you will go to him if you can afford doing so,simple as that! (hope this example won't confuse you much :) )
What did Gwent do to deserve that?
I know. So why is Gwent being punished?
Nox did the right thing. I like Gwent more as well.
Gewnt,
No Mana,
No Luck,
No Fun.
