Posted Aug 11, 2018 (Boomsday)I am impressed Soul infusion is that high, even above The Soularium. The winrate indicates that Doubling Imp combo is a bit too strong.

Posted Aug 12, 2018 (Boomsday)Not all zoolocks run The Soularium because it's a legendary, why Soul Infusion is rare and players may run 2 of them in their decks, hence the high played rate.

Posted Aug 12, 2018 (Boomsday)The table shows the winrate not the playrate.
Unless your point is every deck that runs The Soularium also runs Soul Infusion so the small discrepancy comes from higher winrates of budget decks at low elo games; which i can agree but looks a bit misleading .

Posted Aug 10, 2018 (Boomsday)Rogue the most difficult class? What? It's really that difficult to play minions and hit face? Damn I'm never gonna touch Rogue thanks to you, I appreciate it man.
There is no "difficult" class, there are only difficult decks, and OTK or control decks are difficult, not the aggro push face ones. The point is I personally don't remember Rogue as having difficult decks.
And you do realise that this game is more than 50% RNG based? You can win games by drawing perfectly or lose by drawing the worst cards of your deck. There is no point in saying "I lost because I couldn't guess what my opponent it's gonna play 5 turns after". You do decisions based on what your opponent plays and what you think it's good at that moment.

Posted Aug 10, 2018 (Boomsday)Miracle rogue is hard, but if you think there's no point in thinking some turns ahead it will be very easy for you =)

First off, if your opponent Mecha'thun's your Zoolock deck, then your "aggro" plan has failed in every respect, and your opponent probably could've beaten you without Mecha'thun (how the hell did you even make it to fatigue).
Secondly, the statistics above prove that Mecha'thun is not broken because he sits at a 51.5% win rate (pre-nerf Call to Arms was like 70% or something ridiculous).

Posted Aug 10, 2018 (Boomsday)There are plenty of options. Anything that puts a minion on your opponents board. Demonic project is a good option too. I have one in my Zoo deck just for that reason.

Posted Aug 10, 2018 (Boomsday)This doesn't really mean much. Of the top 10, 5 of the cards are zoolock cards, which is a deck that has a low skill rating but high success rate against a lot of decks. High skill decks may have a low total win ratio, but this is because there are a lot of net deck players who drag these powerful decks down with low skill ratings (e.g. the pre-nerf patron warrior had a 45% overall win rate).

Back when Mecha’thun was revealed I said someone would find a way to break the game with this card, and you all downvoted me. Well guess what, he’s a Tier 2 deck now and the way things are going it looks like he’s gonna stay one thanks to the tools Druid and Warlock has.

Posted Aug 10, 2018 (Boomsday)I knew dr.boom wouldn’t be as strong as a lot of people thought. Turn 7 do nothing against the board is way too slow and a powerful yet unreliable hero power doesn’t make up for it. And all the slower decks have such blowout win conditions that incremental value decks just don’t win
