Wait a minute ... Deck of Chaos
Too bad Token Druid is not the problem Druid deck. Get back to me when you have a card that reverses the effect of Celestial Alignment.
Aggro Druid and it's variants are literally the highest winrate decks for Druid on HS Replay at 75%~
A high win rate is not the same as a problem. Also, your information is not accurate.
I understand that a deck can be problematic design wise, although that's moreso to do with someone's own perception of what a problematic card is. Personally, I see little design issues with Alignment but I understand you may not.
As for the information, I literally pulled it straight from HS Replay so I dunno how it's inaccurate
What rank? How many days' worth of data?
Originally I took the highest win rate across all ranks for the latest patch, however I knew you wouldn't be happy with just that so this time I narrowed it down to Diamond 4-1 in the last week, since that's predominantly where people sweat games out to get to Legend. When sorted from highest Win Rate to lowest, it's 13 Aggro Druid decks (ranging from 67.2% - 55.1% with the most popular Aggro version sitting at 7600 games at 60.2%), then a Malygos Druid (54.3% with 330 games[and with no Alignment]), and then an Anacondra deck with Alignment, 53.2% win rate and a 1000 game sample size.
Not only does the most popular version of Aggro Druid have over 7 times more games recorded than Anacondra Druid (a much larger sample size), but it also has 7% higher win rate. The mentioned Aggro Druid isn't even the highest win rate version, but that has 67.2% and only 270 games. According to stats, Celestial Alignment is strictly worse than the average Aggro Druid in both games recorded and win rates.
So, not 75%, which was always an utterly ridiculous claim.
Bro, is that all you have to comment on? I admitted 75% wasn't accurate so I narrowed it down by an incredible amount and it still shows that Alignment is nowhere near as problematic as Aggro Druid.
And we are back to win rate not being the same as problematic.
You've already conceded that "problematic" is a matter of opinion, so stop trying to prove my opinion is wrong.
Win rate isn't the same as being problematic, but a card in a deck with a lower win rate doesn't need a counter card to completely reverse it (as your initial comment states). I'm also not proving anything or trying to prove anything, the stats do it for me, I'm just acting as a spokesperson to give more depth to the stats and numbers and why a deck with a low win rate doesn't need a targeted hate card
It should be obvious to everyone that they would never print such a card, so it should likewise be obvious that that was a tongue-in-cheek statement. Yes, I do think CA is problematic, but only a complete weirdo would ask for such a specific solution to the problem.
Sarcasm doesn't flow well across text, especially so when you engage in a discussion on your topic. Instead of doubling down on your proposal of an anti Alignment tech card, you backed off completely and disengaged.
Man, here I was hoping I'd here some interesting card design ideas around Mana manipulation in classes other than Druid and not just another poor sarcastic joke
Well, here's some free advice you can carry with you as you travel the wilderness of Hearthpwn. If a "proposal" seems completely foolish, unworkable and unreasonable, you can always ASK if the person is joking before you latch on and start a serious discussion about it.
If you want to have that conversation, the forums are a better place for it than the comments section of a card that has nothing to do with the topic.
Except that many statements (including yours) aren't "completely foolish, unworkable and unreasonable". Many people have ideas they'd like to see implemented, or cards they have issues with and would like to see options against. Here's some advice for you, don't respond to a discussion topic you started and then back-peddle because someone tried to take you seriously. Have a good one
It's not backpedaling, as much as you'd like to control the narrative here. It's you looking foolish for not catching some obvious sarcasm.
And if you really don't think a card that directly reverses CA is unworkable and unreasonable, you now look even more foolish than you did before.
As I said, take my advice and have a good one
Disturbing that the apostrophe is on the inside of the s lol
It's correct, though. Honorable Kill checks on a per minion basis. Whenever you Honorable Kill a minion, you gain that particular minion's Attack. Using "minons" would erroneously imply that you gain all the minions' Attacks even if you only Honorable Killed one of them.
Hmm, makes sense I guess. I'd originally thought that "the minions" only referred to the minions impacted by the Battlecry. So that you would gain the attack of all minions from the battlecry that fit the qualification of Honorable kill. But then the honorable kill wouldn't apply to other minions and it would be super confusing.
