Yo /hsg/, the /vg/ soccer tournament is coming up and we need to update our memes.

Right now I'm just taking suggestions, they'll all be added to a poll in about 2 weeks to a month.

Pic Related is our current roster. The Gold outline means a very important player, the Silver outline means a mildly important player, and the rest is interchangeable stuffs.


Currently the only thing I've talked about with /hsg/ anons so far is the potential sacking of Barnes as Gold in favor of "Malygod", but that might be too hasty a decision.

Also we need to find a good song to play when we win. Currently it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_5sUcMpFXk but that can change.


Any/all /hsg/ soccer team info can be found at http://implyingriggedDOTinfo/wiki//hsg/

Beats mid shaman, basically. If you play against 10 shamans in a row, time to play freeze mage.
Midsham is a midrange deck and you eat them for lunch because they just can't pump the damage fast enough in the early game (ie they can't drop things faster than you can remove them/doomsayer since there just aren't that many small minions in the deck).
When they hit their power turns in the midgame, you've cycled into your blocks and novas and can stall them out long enough to pick up the required burn.
And keep in mind that you don't need to otk since they have no healing.

The downside is that mid shaman is the only popular midrange deck, and the only popular control deck is an auto-loss.
Against other combos you just race, and against aggro and hunter you just die.

Or you can embrace the dark side and play face mage. It's basically freeze mage, except aggro. Still beats shaman, and doesn't get destroyed by aggro since it can race.

Best used when splitting the counters so you cant get fucked by spot removal. Do like.
>>
>>157035184
Nope. Mage is the best. And has been for a while. There's no way to beat the value of its class cards.
Rogue and warrior can definitely get god drafts but mage is best because even a shitty draft will pull tons of incredible cards like flamestrike, firelands, etc. Now on turn 7 you can't do anything. You play 1 big minion and get punished by firelands, or play multiple small ones and get flamestriked. Catch-22.

And at least for me, i usually get at least 1 firelands and 1 flamestrike in every mage draft. Even if the minions are the worst possible booty bay garbage the deck can ride to 3 wins just on the common spells.
>>
>>157035486
I was speaking about before the changes. I haven't really touched arena in a couple months. Rogue was on top 100%.

My theory is that they spent so much trying to get it working that they're basically "forced" to enjoy it, like when you spend a ton of money in something, that something turns out to be lame but you have to pretend you enjoy it to convince others/yourself that you're not an idiot.
I myself got my control warrior only by unpacking stuff, the only thing I crafted (Justicar) was for pre-standard midrange paladin so it doesn't really count, and can say without bias that it's an extremely boring, dull, and uninteresting deck.

1. What the fuck are you doing with that deck? What is it supposed to be? Is there a unifying theme or idea behind it?
2. You have so many one-ofs you might as well remove the doubles and add Reno. But that's a terrible idea since paladin relies on a few ridiculously OP cards that you really need 2 of to survive. Try to use 2-ofs whenever possible to make your deck more consistent.
3. If you're trying to make an aggro deck, you need 2 divine favors. Otherwise don't even try. You can't flood the board without a way to refill your hand.
4. Take out tiger, king, shieldbearer, and stand against darkness. They're terrible cards.
5. Take out all the secrets. Unless you're using mysterious challenger, they're garbage (except for competitive spirit in eboladin). Seriously. Challenger was actually added so that people would play them.
6. Add wild pyro. Pyro-equality is the most comically overpowered board clear in the game and shits all over every honest deck. Even loatheb can't save them.
7. Remove holy light, it's bad. Yes even if it's your only healing.
8. Abusive sergeant, raid leader, steward of darkshire, and scarlet crusader only work well in eboladin (ie board-flooding aggro paladin).
9. Truesilver, equality, peacekeeper are great cards, add seconds when you can.
10. Add a second senjin, he's a pretty damn decent card from the classic set.
11. If you're making a midrange deck, you'll have no mid and late game after you take out the garbage. Add some neutrals for that. Even bog creepers.
12. Add blessings of wisdom. They're great when you're just starting out. Use them on both yours and the opponent's minions.
13. Add 1 or 2 blessed champions. They serve as an ad-hoc finisher when you have nothing else.
14. Make 2 of A Light in the Darkness. When you're new, these are fucking solid gold. They'll offer you amazing cards including tirion. Use them to fill the curve and get good lategame stuff.

After the memes fade, it's still a worse mana wyrm. Only good in aggro decks.

Trogg would be fine if it was +1 attack per overload card and not per overloaded crystal.

The big snowball happens with spirit wolves which on its own is simply average, but giving trogg +2 attack pushes it over the edge when it also protects trogg behind two taunts.

Rockbiter was the wrong target. Trogg should have been nerfed.

Rockbiter was definitely a wrong target.
I can't think of a single instance of someone seriously suggesting it should be nerfed, and that's counting all the way back to naxx.
The ridiculous thing is that shaman's basic+classic set is already the worst in the game.
They fucked up by adding massively broken cards in the expansions then tried to "fix" it by nerfing an evergreen.
A goddamn clown show.

But about trogg: it's hard to think of a nerf that wouldn't make it unplayable (which i assume we don't want since we're not blizz). Maybe making it a 1/2 to start with?
>>

Such critique.

Art isnt about accuracy. Its about how the overall composition makes you feel. I think the artist did an excellent job here with the colors and dynamic positioning of visual elements. You can almost virtually see the image move.

>it shits all over aggrofaggots
Yeah, and alex's champion is a great removal tool for control decks.
Stop and think. Think about freeze mage. Ice block.
Cards like this PUNISH slower decks, and REWARD aggro decks.

They encourage kamikaze strategies that do not attempt to survive into the late game by removal, value, etc, but just to prevent the opponent from attacking long enough to slaughter them with direct damage.
This is easier to accomplish against a midrange or control deck.
It's much harder to do it against an aggro deck, since they push a sustained offense from turn 1.

Aggro decks all destroy freeze mage. Do you think they're scared of priest getting an ice block? Nope.
But the midrange decks that are supposed to keep aggro in line ARE scared of this.
That's what many people don't understand about meta balancing, and what i suspect brode & co might not understand either.

We've just gotten used to the status quo of "synergy" in the game being nothing more than lots of low cost minions and life tap. There have been synergy memes like dragons, but ultimately midrange shaman now has the first real class synergy, and no one has anything that can compete. And unfortunately, Blizzard will now cycle through all the other classes, giving them the same broken synergy but each will in turn cycle out and return to being shit.

Is hex literally the best removal in the game?

Hex
3 mana non-death removal
cons: leaves 0/1 with taunt

Polymorph
4 mana non-death removal
cons: leaves 1/1

Entomb
6 mana non-death removal, lengthens your deck, annoys CWs
cons: tempo loss, risky liability against aggroshitters. rotates out of standard next year.

Hunter's mark
1 mana
cons: death. requires you to deal at least 1 damage to the target

Execute
2 mana
cons: death. requires the target to have taken at least 1 damage

Shield Slam
1 mana
cons: requires you to already have board control

Special case: Swipe
4 mana

RENOUNCE DARKNESS

Guys, guys, while on the topic of secret paladins, I have had this idea for warlocks abusing a similar mechanic.

So, one of the less appreciated reasons why Mr.6 improved paladin win-rate in constructed so much was because he was a 6 mana card that helped to remove the majority of 1 mana draws from your deck. This gave secret pallys the advatage of a very strong early game from having those 1 mana cards whilst removing their liability later on, allowing you to have both a very strong early game and very strong mid-game and increases your odds of drawing on curve.

Now come back to Warlock, right. So, what if we use Renounce Darkness in the same way as Mr6. I.e. we fill a mid-range warlock deck with strong 1,2 mana Warlock cards for strong early game tempo. When you reach mid/late game, you cast renounce darkness and remove all the 1,2 mana cards, preventing you from ever drawing into them. There is a chance that the new class cards will be 1,2 mana cards too, but then they would at worst be on par with the ones you had removed.

Thoughts?

The fact that Shaman is still tier 1 and most of it's decks still use tuskarr means that it was all for nothing.

This
Though I would make the argument that tuskar potentially still being playable due to increased reliability on spellpower is irrelevant. The on curve play becomes muddy with totem golem and thing from below. The off curve play becomes suboptimal as you can sub in reliable spell power or heavy hitters. And in either case of more traditional midrange or token midrange he loses his place for more optimal cards.

It really becomes a case of shaman doesn't need him.

Wait, what? I'm not trying to convince you shaman isn't broken. I'm trying to convince you tuskarr isn't good anymore.
In fact, it's because shaman is so broken that people can run poor cards like the new tuskarr and still destroy everything in their way.
Tuskarr is only good for filling the curve now, because shaman doesn't have a better 3-drop. He's not a power card anymore.
Let's try this: would you play pic related? What if it had one more attack?
If tuskarr was a TGT neutral, he would be dropped like a redheaded stepchild. People only think he's good because of the blue background. That's it.

>>157047983
Yes, discussed by the kind of people who need to beg for tyrande codes because their parents won't let them use their credit cards.
There is no reason to exclude mirror matches from the sample, because a deck must play against the entire field. To know how good tuskarr is, we must know how good he is against shaman, arguably even more than against the other 8 classes since shaman is the most played. Excluding mirror matches would make the video LESS valid.
As for what board position the shaman was in, they simply included all of them. We can break down *when* it's best to play him, but the point of the video is to explain to us *what* shamans were rolling for by playing tuskarr. And the answer is a non-basic totem.
>it was all for nothing.
Absolutely. Imho Brode didn't even try, he wants to ride this until the rotation, then start the cycle with another class.
>>
A 3/2 and a 0/2 for 3 just doesn't cut it for mid shaman decks anymore. Every shaman I've run into from ranks 10 - 5 plays spirit wolves instead because you're more likely to gain board control from two 2/3s with taunt rather than what Tuskarr spawns you, and playing Tuskar for WOA is taking an unecessary risk in the mid-game because once you roll something other than WOA you instantly lose.
>>
>>157049075
Actually the idea behind excluding mirror matches is to provide a control sample. What if shaman is so bullshit that regardless of totem they won against non shamans 55-60% of the time, but in mirror matches the totem that tuskar pulled actually mattered and that's where the big discrepency between basic and non basic came from. The idea isn't to invalidate the test by excluding mirror matches, it's to further validate the data by providing context.
>>
>>157049075
On turn 5, you can use tuskarr totemic and use heropower to have two totems on one turn.
With fencing coach you can have only one totem.

>When this minion dies, give it +2/+2 wherever it is. Make it also a lego and adjust the stats.

If you don't have the wherever it is, like C'Thun does, you will get a 2/2 after resurrect since HS doesn't remember what happened to the cards. All buffs/debuffs are lost on death since the game doesn't actually resurrects THAT minion, it just summons a base line minion of that kind.
That's why Moat Lurker doesn't keep his deathrattle after a resurrect.
>>
>>157050968
Yes, because when you start arena, no matter what deck you have, you start at 0 wins.

Why are people so surprised that they face a good deck on 0 wins? i would kinda understand if it was a 0/2, but just 0 wins means he just started and everyone has to start at some point.
>>
>>157050862
just went and checked and they have some pretty... interesting takes on the meta
>miracle rogue better than aggro shaman and cthun warrior

Here, now you have your Purify Priest at rank 11 legend.

Legend is easier than ladder because a lot of people experiment with meme decks
>>
>>157052140
he played pirate warrior and face hunter most of the way into legend

then played some of this at rank 1, he played this before too

unless he went on some crazy streak its just a decent deck he was managing to win some games with at higher ranks

Why is shaman allowed to have ridiculous early game and sport 4 AoE's at the same time?

Freeze mage is the absolute most cancerous deck in Hearthstone. The only reason I begrudgningly accept control warrior existence is because as long as it'll exists freeze mage will be forced to be shit. Hopefully next rotation the deck will die for good with the death of Thaurissan. That will also kill Justicar, wich is big part of why CW is cancerous, so that's 2 birds with one stone really.

Nef is slow but if you end up getting boardclears you might find a good time to play him.

Icehowl has an immediate effect on the board and will most likely remove one of your opponents larger minions. I would say icehowl is better for arena.

No it isn't, it's fucking cancer. You literally can't play around it (especially pre-nerf) and it's the worst feeling when you lose a game you otherwise had in the bag to someone YOLO'ing Yogg.

It's just a bullshit card that makes you not want to play the game because it puts the result of games that go to turn 10 or longer completely out of your control. That's terrible game design and not fun at all. It's fun now that you can laugh at people who still try to meme with it and then Yogg just kill itself and stops, they get what they deserve for trying to ruin the game with their "lol time to win this game I had no business winning!" bullshit.

Not even talking about "competitive" shit either, Yogg is just not fun at all. I didn't even like playing it myself pre-nerf because even without the nerfs it could still screw you over, and so you never wanted to play it except when the game was totally lost and Yogg gave you the chance to get a bullshit win.

In short: it turned games into a literal coinflip: Yogg is good enough and you win, or it's bad and you lose. It doesn't matter what else happened in the game, just what Yogg decides to do. That's just bad design through and through.

Usually people say it as a meme or a synonym for "overpowered", but when we're talking about freeze mage or anyfin it really does mean "bad for the game".

Let me explain. Brode has a huge hard-on for hot-and-heavy minion-on-minion-action midrange decks. He presumably wants one of them to be the best deck most of the time (this explains the meta since TGT).
But i think his problem is that he doesn't grasp how massively he's having to buff them for this to happen, or why.
It's largely because he fucked up the endgame so badly. Instead of giving them huge guns to play with at huge mana costs, he gave them doomsday devices and WMDs.
So instead of playing the value game past turn 10, they're playing sudden death!
It's now easy for most classes to instantly lethal the opponent or lock them out of possible victory.

This begs the question, how can classic (value game) control decks fight back against doomsday decks?
At least against those with severely limited damage (eg freeze mage), one family of decks has an answer: control warriors. They can armor up out of range.
As for the other classic control decks (eg the potential post-whispers control shaman)? Press F to pay respects.

But it goes further. Classic control warriors can only counter strictly limited combos: against the others (eg nzoth), they have no defense either.
So to be viable on ladder, they need to encounter these rarely enough to keep their winrate acceptable.
In post-whispers HS, this basically means they NEED an aggro meta. And before kara and the nerfs, they had it.

And what about classic midrange decks? RIP in piss. They're already inherently disfavored against control decks.
And all those matchups are dramatically worse when the favorite can not only suppress and outvalue them, but instantly kill them too. Final destination.

Stopped reading there. It is cancer, but you can play around it by killing him before turn 10. It's literally useless for the first 9 turns in the game, stop getting your panties in a twist over a 10 mana card.

Then Brode takes action. He decides he's had enough of aggro shaman and decides to boost midrange shaman, since it's the easiest natural counter.
But we'd already reached the point where a midrange deck could never be viable without being OP enough to just steamroll the opponent with an unstoppable assault.
So he was probably thinking "i'll buff it until it's viable and topples aggro sham". But to overcome his doomsday decks, the shaman class needed so much buffing that the resulting decks absolutely terrorized the rest of the ladder.

So he was forced to do something. And he did what he thought was best in the long run: fix the most pressing emotional concerns (tuskarr, yogg, cotw) and address some long-term niggles while we're at it. Then let shaman continue its dominance until the rotation, and keep it shit for a while so the playerbase cools off. It's tried and true, worked for secret pally after all.

But oops, we have another problem. The rockbiter/tuskarr/cotw/abusive nerfs were harder on the big aggro decks than they thought.
2 top aggro predators going down means their slower prey go up, including most of the doomsday decks.
Which means classic CW is up the creek without a paddle. But if you can't beat em, join em! They can run one too: nzoth.

And here we are. A meta between midsham, the control combo decks, and the aggro left standing (zoo, freeze mage, etc).
The control combos beat each other and try to fight midsham, aggro beats the control combos, and midsham holds its own against everything.
Brode created monsters, then tried to beat them back down with a bigger, stronger monster.

The problem is that he's painted himself into a corner. The only one of them rotating out is his "champion", midsham. If he doesn't do anything serious in the next couple expacs, we might see the most hardcore aggro meta since early HS history.
We'll have to see what he does to prevent that. Or not.

>>157067678
>Stopped reading there. It is cancer, but you can play around it by killing him before turn 10.

I mean...

Did you ever actually *play* against Yogg decks before in your life? Like Yogg Maly druid? They literally just played spells to kill your shit and heal all game until turn 10 Yogg. Mage is similar.

All those spells they play kill your shit or heal. You literally couldn't kill Yogg decks most of the time if they got a decent hand, there's a reason it was nerfed.

>>157067746

Impactful sure but compare Yogg to even other gods like C'Thun or N'Zoth, or something like Pyroblast. None of those are anywhere near "win the game no matter what your opponent has done for the past 9+ turns of the game". They're very powerful and can win games, but they can be played around when you know they're coming. You literally can't play around a good Yogg.

Well N'Zoth is close to that. And if anything, C'thun should be MORE powerful than he currently his, just look how he's not played.

I actually wish 10 mana cards were better, so the games would end and we could proceed to another match instead of dragging games to fatigue for no good reason.

Yeah, because tournaments being decided on the backs of yogg coinflips was making the pro scene into even more of a joke than it already was.

It was absolutely retarded RNG that made the receiver feel really really bad a lot of the time, and nerfing him was good, but saying he had no counters is just straight up lying.
>>
>>157068226

Yeah but you can, say, have a board already built so the N'Zoth isn't that bad, or AoE the N'Zoth board, or ignore it and go face (the deathrattles generally don't have charge), C'Thun is mostly a matter of surviving when he drops and then playing a kill spell on it, especially a transform spell. You're also forced to play shitty C'Thun cards to make him work.

I mean yeah Yogg wasn't unbeatable but holy shit did he win a lot of games that Yogg deck had no right to win. It can do everything from clearing your opponent's board, burning people out, healing yourself, giving your minions taunt, filling your board (CotW in particular), drawing a bunch of cards, and dropping free secrets.

No other card had the potential to just outright win you an already lost game, the opponent could be at 60 health with a full board and it wouldn't matter because lolyogg. It still has that potential but it's far less likely to work now thank god.

Yeah but saying the counter is "hope they don't draw it or you're playing the most aggro deck possible and they can't stop it despite having a deck full of spells that kill things and heal" seems a bit disingenuous.

The point isn't that pre-nerf Yogg decks were unbeatable, but that in many matches it literally just came down to what Yogg played. You could get them down to 1 life and they could play Yogg and still win because Yogg is just that powerful. Which makes it super cancer especially when combined with classes that had a million OP spells to pair with it, and Malygos and Arcane Giants etc.

I didn't say he has no counters I'm just saying pre-nerf Yogg is impossible to play around, if they manage to play him then it doesn't matter what happened beforehand in the game, Yogg can change everything from life totals to board state. Worse yet is that while the best way to beat them is to kill them before they can Yogg, he was usually in decks designed to survive that long.

What priest needs right now is one or two broken finishers. 10 mana cards you can build a deck around setting up/surviving until they come out, and then winning with. Like C'Thun, but without the need to dedicate a third of your deck to non-control cards.

Uh... Yeah... No shit? Why would you put a 10 mana card into a deck that isn't designed to live until 10 mana?

Practice mode, beat all 9 expert decks for like 100 gold or a pack or something. Use your arena run to get a WotOG pack and get your free legendary god. Then level everyone up to 10 for another 100 gold. If you win 100 games total(The ones against AI should count for a good 30-40 of those), you get another 300 gold. Log into the game on every device you have to get packs for each.

Don't netdeck from tempostorm, they're not very good or imaginative.
Also the second thunderbluff. It's part of the primary win condition. Thalnos is not.
Yes doomhammer can sort-of replace it as another lategame card. Try ragnaros or bloodlust instead though, now that rockbiter's nerfed.

It kind of does when you're new to the game and limited on dust. I'd need to just get 200 dust from nothing to hit 1700 and get the rare and legendary, or I'd just be at 1400 waiting to make 200 from my single brawl pack per week waiting for enough dust to make thalnos.

>Classic control warriors can only counter strictly limited combos: against the others (eg nzoth), they have no defense either.
First, N'zoth is not played in any combo decks. If you think that is a combo, you don't know what combo is in the context of Hearthstone.
Second, Brawl. They have fucking Brawl. Drop it along with Sylvanas for good measure. You pointed out the one class and deck that actually has a clean counter to N'zoth, I don't understand how you managed to fuck up that badly.

Last, the counter IS to just kill them. That's it. Yes, Yogg was (still is, really) bullshit, but the counter to Yogg decks was to kill them before they dropped it.
>b-but muh control decks
Then you hope they get shit RNG. There is nothing else to it. It is badly designed, and its only counter is being aggressive as fuck, but that is still some form of counter. If something can't be countered, then it would beat everything else, and no deck with Yogg had a higher winrate than Midrange Shaman. Ever.

Not necessarily. Midrange shaman isn't really dishonorable at all even though it's OP as fuck.
It puts minions on the board, and attacks you with them.

Anyfin is dishonorable because the paladin is stalling and avoiding the enemy like a coward for most of the fight, instead of engaging them in righteous combat on the open field.
And the finisher strikes from the hand instead of from the board, denying the opponent a chance to protect themselves.
Secret paladin is too, for obvious reasons.
Eboladin is for engaging in zerg rush and disregarding the lives of those under the paladin's command. That's horde shit. Barbarian shit.

Seriously why are people so bad at this game that with those collection they are still at shit rank? I can play my control warrior without doing any hard thinking and still got to rank 12 now in my main server.

Blizzard really needs to match player according to time played in this game and how much their collection are worth, if not it would be so hard for new players to clear quest.

Wow great deck...

Thoughts/suggestions?

I know it's a meme deck, just kinda threw it together for a rogue dominance since I don't usually play rogue, beat 3 shamans and lost to a tempo mage with a god draw though so I feel pretty good about it. So many cantrips and avoids the problem I've always generally had with rogue which is decks that are often more than half spells.
>>
Why are people complaining about FotM decks? They are really not that strong most of the time. The only FotM deck that was ridiculously strong was patron warrior. I have been through face hunter, secret paladin and now shaman. I don't feel that they are that strong. I've never played secret paladin but I never raged about that deck myself. All these FotM decks seems very fair compare to let's say wallet warrior and otk decks. It is easy to play around the FotM's deck stuff if you have a brain.

"Casual Play mode matchmaking includes a new player pool. Players are initially placed in a separate pool, allowing them to play exclusively against other new players. After a certain period, players are introduced into the main matchmaking pool."
Not exactly what i said but still a decent system. however, another thing form my experience, if you concede/lose enough games in a row you'll be matched with new players.
obv not confirmed by blizzard and might just be a coincidence but after conceding like 16 times in a row on casual ive been matche alot with basic deck.

Classic control warrior loses hard to pretty much every good nzoth deck. Brawl counters the card, but not the decks as a whole.
And nzoth and combo decks both get lumped into the "combo/control" category because i'm sorting by matchups: ie they're the decks that blow out classic control and midrange, have a harder time against nzoth control warrior than classic CW, lose hard to aggro, struggle to pull even against shaman, etc.

>its only counter is being aggressive as fuck
>no deck with Yogg had a higher winrate than Midrange Shaman
My point was that the first caused the second
brode fucked himself with the decks that WOG cards enabled because they totally oppressed his favorite kinds of decks
So he buffed mid shaman to the point where it would beat decks that should be crushing it
At which point it's just unstoppable

If the whispers cards had supported slower and more gradual lockout/domination rather than huge big-bang finishers, we wouldn't be where we are right now
Shaman could have been modestly rebalanced to have mid or totem properly replace aggro shaman as the class's top deck and thus slow down the meta in a healthier way.
>>
>>157073265
>after conceding like 16 times

Well you just going deep down the dumpster, which is not a separate player pool. A real separate player pool is where even high skill players has a small collection.

Also FotM deck are of course strong but not as strong as what people claimed btw. And they are at least fair compare to those control decks that has been around and viable since forever.

My wr is around 70% right now. Luckily I find midrange shaman unironically fun (not just because it wins a lot), sure, not as fun as Malygos Druid or Miracle Rogue, but it still keeps me entertained. It has more decision making of what it seems. Fact is that it wins even if you suck at decision making (It's overpowered after all), with it you just win more.

Really? It's not even the best Rogue deck. Also he's too harsh with Hunter and too generous with zoolock. And classic freeze still sucks, I could maybe agree with the aggro freeze being that high (MAYBE), but as is the list sucks.

I like how ranks 25-20 are effectively a road bump keeping new players from playing against anyone serious, no matter how bad the serious player is. Just the act of getting enough gold to build a decent deck moves you out of those early ranks. They could probably expand that to 10 or twenty ranks of never losing any stars just to give new players a little bit longer without having to face meta decks.

If you're lucky enough, then it's probably Wotog since it has an epic and a legendary that serves as big jackpots. Unlikely to hit them, though, so perhaps TGT might actually be better due to tuskarr showing up more often.
>>
>>157075969
none, no pack is better than another

TGT is shit but you have the best chance of seeing tuskarrs since it has fewer commons than classic packs

Classic packs has more cards than either whispers or TGT

Whispers you need to open a legendary and epic to get the dust refund

that means the question is why would you want to buy a bunch of tgt packs just to get an extra 35 dust for a common
>>
>>157075178
None of them. The most I have is Warrior with less than 300 I think. Been playing since TGT launch, I get to r5 every month and I've been legend. Simply put every season I grind to rank 5 in a few hours and then I horse around in casual, so my wins never grow much.

>It has all the weaknesses of Rogue

No it doesn't, it's a lot different than almost every other Rogue deck because it's mostly comprised of minions, not spells. It actually has early game presence while still retaining a lot of the powerful kill spells, uses skulker instead of relying on prep+fan+spell damage, etc.

Sure it doesn't have the burst but it's better at controlling the board, it's more comparable to zoo in all honesty. Except your draw comes from having a ton of cards that replace themselves (burglar/huckster/thalnos/drake/etc).

Whether one is better than the other is debatable but they're definitely both good in their own right, they have mostly different strategies so you can't just say "yeah well they're the same thing as maly/questing rogue except without burst". They're not the same.

I mean don't expect it to roll high just because you want it to. If you never roll 3 than you already know what the outcome is going to be before you play it so you can account for that.

Tempo Mage can just shift their game plan to burn face against trap hunter. They have to cram so many shitty cards in and have so little draw that they theoretically shouldn't be able to race you.

I admittedly don't know enough about the matchup since I've run into maybe 3 or 4 total, but it never felt all that bad.
>>
>>157080795
well that just means i lose the game if i cant roll a single 3 on 5 minions, doesn't it? its not even worth including in your deck at that point.

Learn to roll spellpower totem. Really, I'm tempted to put Justicar in midshaman just to always have my dear spellpower totem. Too bad that SP totem is at his peak in the early game and Justicar only shows up in the midgame, and too bad that her shitty body is a tempo suicide.
>>
>>157081020
midrange shaman has no early game aside from lightning storm, mealstrom portal and spirit claws. and spirit claws/portal only work IF you roll a spell power totem OR roll a 3 on lightning storm, both of which literally never happen. i mean i've only played 6 games with the deck but i've lost them all.

Have you never played midrange shaman? Have you never played one of those games where you just hero power for the first like 3 turns and win anyway? There are a lot of ways you can be staring down 5 minions, at which point you roll 3 (or 4 with spellpower) and laugh

Kibler and Reynad are the only major streamers that understand card games, and Kibler is a Blizzard shill, so he falls out.

Reynad is the only streamer that understands and talks about the game in a technical way you would talk about a physical TCG

You are a fanboy. I'll say this again and again. You are a fanboy you just can't see through it.

Thijs, Kolento, Zetalot, Sjow all explain their moves during the game when they are streaming. And when chat or donation asked them questions about meta or some decisions they made during the game, most of the time they will respond with good answers too. They don't talk about random shits, at least most of the time.

You think Reynad's and Kibler's opinions are worth something while and perceived other streamers as "not understanding the game". Tell me this is not a bias, fanboy.

Sure, but the card-game experiences are more comparable, closer to each other. And Hearthstone you can play even if you're antisocial and live in Nowhere, Kansas.

I disagree entirely, sure you can play the game anywhere, but playing Hearthstone is nowhere near as fun as playing a physical game with a person. Thats why Hearthstone has no future, because card games are all about interaction, and the only interaction in Hearthstone are terrible emotes.

Hell even a chat feature would make the game better, everyone uses the lame excuse that it would be full of harassment, but that is just the internet, the 10% of games where you talk to the other person would be actually make the game fun.
>>

I'm with this anon. Once you get past a rank, you can't drop below it. Increasing the number of ranks won't help newbies at all. Bastards would still intentionally drop to 50 after reaching the rank they want and farm newbies.

Even with the locks in place, people would just farm first and then rank up later. But since they don't know how long it will take them, they will either miss out on the rewards or stop farming sooner than they would otherwise.
>>
>>157089523

This is the only way. since you got the box already anyway. Also this will encourage more people trying to get legend instead of just getting to rank5 and stopped.

>>157089859
Not all people want a social cardgaming experience. Some people just want a cardgaming experience, like my brother, who is anti-social. I personally would love to play a social game like MtG, but i'm a lone nigga with no friends. Hence, Hearthstone has me as a customer instead of Wizards of the coast.

But you're right about the interactions and the improvements.

The best possible thing that could happen for Hearthstone is that it dies, so Team 5 can remake it from the ground up in a non-unity client, where everything is done properly. Harassment would only take place if someone got Highmane from Barnes, which would give Blizzard more incentive to redesign the fucking thing.

How long until Blizzard allows trading and betting matches with gold?

There is no way the game is going to continue to gain players in its current state.
>>
>>157090541
Betting matches are called Arena. Trading is called dust and you can only trade with yourself.

The game is still beating very other thing trying to be a hearthstone clone
>>
>>157090541

According to their official stats they are gaining players.
>>
>>157090541
Betting gold is called arena.
>>
>>157089959
A big part of the solution is to fix casual. Just making it so you can't farm daily gold there would remove a lot of the shit from doing quests for off classes, and would directly encourage more ranked play. A star reward thing every month like shadowverse's score rewards would also be a huge improvement.
>>
>>157090798
They are gaining accounts, not active players. Its obvious at this point the game is losing more old players at a faster rate than new players continue playing
>>
>>157090798
How many of those are dummy accounts people are scamming tyrande onto so when the promo is over they can ebay them for 100 a pop?
>>
>>157091040
You are thinking of Morgl, most people that have it probably made at least one extra account for it, if not five so they can get the four free packs too

>The best possible thing that could happen for Hearthstone is that it dies, so Team 5 can remake it from the ground up in a non-unity client
The dream would be if Hearthstone died, Team 5 got fired and fucked off as far as possible, and Wizards stopped being fucking retarded and made a functional client for Magic Online with a monetization system that makes a lick of sense,

That, would be the dream.
>>
>>157091040
0 considering you can just sell the individual code for much more money. It would be absolutely stupid to claim it on an account, nobody would buy that. Who the fuck wants to give up their entire collection, including card backs and other hero skins, just for a skin on the worst class in the game?

What I don't get is how he can be so bad while also being asian.

Aren't asians supposed to be good at math and logic and shit like that?

I mean, it still boggles my mind that there are legitimately people out there, even ones in the """"pro"""" community, who actually are just bad at the game. While I'm sitting here and can't get to legend because I just get straight-up bored with the game after maybe 10 games in a day, it feels so simple and repetitive and monotonous to me especially now that we're in essentially Shamanstone.
>>
>>157091645

Or to put it another way: it's like being the one black guy with a small dick.

Feel bad for him. To be that one dumb asian guy.
>>
>>157091645
I got to legend, once, for the cardback.
Never again. It was the most ruthlessly boring slog of Secret Paladin upon Secret Paladin upon Zoolock upon Aggro Shaman upon Secret Paladin I have ever experienced.

I generally don't really feel like my time is wasted when I play shit, but grinding legend the one time I bothered was one of those moments where I just couldn't help but feel like I had wasted a part of my life.
>>
For the life of me I can't decide what deck to play right now, nothing seems that good without being anti-fun.

Guess I'll stick with cancer for now.

Why? Why do they "need" to do that? Will it earn them more money?
>>

Probably.
Most newbies I know just started playing for a short amount of time, followed by getting rekt and not being able to make any progress, followed by quitting.

I doubt people who quit right away buy anything.
>>
>>157092361

Yeah see that's what bothers me.

Because I know it isn't about skill and I'm great at strategy card games (used to play MtG all the time through middle and high school, did all the regionals and PTQ shit too) and I got all the cards (f2p, even).

It's literally about playing hundreds of games with a top meta deck against other top meta decks over and over and over and over again. I just hate the nagging feeling of 12 year olds saying "LUL YOU CAN'T GET LEGEND BECAUSE YOU SUCK HAHAHA", I just want to get the card back so I can tell those anonymous kids on the internet to go fuck themselves.

It's the weirdest fucking feeling of being stuck between "this is the easiest shit in the world I just need to sink a ton of time into it" and "holy fuck this is boring and meaningless and a complete waste of my life, and in the end the card back looks like shit and no one will care I got to legend anyways".

It's an abstract sort of feel.
>>
>>157092803
Yes it will.
People will stop telling their friends not to start hearthstone because you can't catch up unless you drop mad dosh on it. Overall opinion of the game will improve and people will encourage their friends to get involved.

This is the thing about modern capitalists that boggles my mind. They go so full turbo jew that they end up hurting their long term profits in exchange for a few quarters of slightly inflated gains.

A lot of the modern games involve grinding, hearthstone is just one of them.

Here's the thing though.
Grinding in something like shadowverse doesn't feel like grinding.
In hearthstone I feel like I'd rather be doing anything else which leads to the feeling of a grind.

I hope you're trolling because all your posts reek of dumb idiot unaware of how dumb he is + a shitload of insecurity.

Maybe it's because I'm in my mid-20's now, idk. I can't stand grinding games any more. I don't play grinding games, at least not for extended periods of time (even with hearthstone I'm never really grinding, since I only ever play a few games here and there for dailies I save up for 3 days at a time).

Compare that to Rocket League for example, my main passion in gaming atm. I've put over 500 hours into that fucker. It has a ranking system too, but you already have the whole fucking game when you bought it (I got it for only $5 too, best $5 I ever spent). Anything you can spend money on is both cheap and cosmetic. They release free shit like new game modes all the time.

Even with rank it's mostly for bragging rights, you don't get anything for it so it's hard to give a shit, you just play with people around your skill level and you end up where you end up based on your skill. There's 0% RNG in the game, it's literally all how good you are that determines winners and losers. You can lose and still have fun, you can lose and actually feel like you learned something from your opponent. Your practicing actually matters as you improve different techniques that help you perform better. One of the closest things to real sports I've ever seen from video games, in all honesty and seriousness.

That never feels like "grinding". I don't grind in video games anymore, and the more grindy a game the more likely I am to not play it.
>>
>>157093125
>They go so full turbo jew that they end up hurting their long term profits in exchange for a few quarters of slightly inflated gains.
You're not considering the whales though. For every 50 players who quit the game, one player buying one instance of 50 packs makes up for it as basically free money because they're trading their money for funbux.
>>
>>157093442
Nah it's the core design of the game.
>You don't lose your rank at the end of the season
Therefore you can dedicate your time to fun games rather than bullshit maximum win rate climbing decks
>There is no end of season goody box encouraging cancerous grind practices to the optimal point
Instead, the seasonal goodies are spread out based on score reward, again rewarding simply playing the game.
>generous log in bonus focuses on getting people logged in every day
>Quests refresh 3 a day instead of 1 a day
Both these work hand in hand to get people in the game and playing to clear their quests, and in turn earn score rewards or class achievement rewards.
>The game gives you a few free arenas every month on top of several for the tutorial.
This gives people free practice runs to git gud and have fun, as well as bolster their collections with free packs.

Everything about shadowverse is geared towards rewarding the player and keeping the game fun.

(Cont)

Dragon decks are dead
Control warrior is hit hard, wall warrior is dead, patron decks are dead.

Rogue is worse then it was in vanilla without expansion cards and flurry nerf.
With miracle taking much longer and mill being dead, nzoth taken huge hits too.

Priest gets worse with justicar and entomb and exav gone. Ress priest is weakened, silence priest weakened.

Warlock remains mostly unaffected

Hunter loses some good cards but again remains unaffected. Will have to aggro or secret now.

Paladin hit hard, secret is dead, anyfin is dead.

Drood hit hard will resort to beast meme

Shaman press f to pay respects will resort to totem.

Mage hit hard will go back to tony combo

More control cards hit then aggro
Combo decks much harder to suceed
A lot of healing cut off
Most discover is gone
Battlecry memes harder

A lot of classes will resort to cthun.
Freeze mage may come back
Hunter and warrior aggro will be back unless new cards stop it
Zoolock unaffected
>>
>>157094113
More players mean more likely to get people who will pay though. If the system gets people spending money through things like pre-orders, then people take advantage of those, you would need to get a very large number of people dropping the game in order to even make a dent on profits.

>>157094309
>Zoolock unaffected
zoolock will always be unaffected
zoolock is literally just cheap cards + finisher
zoolock exists because of the warlock hero power. zoolock will always exist because of the warlock hero power.
>>
>>157093908
Oh I am.
The whales will pay either way.
But lets say a whale spends $100 a month on the game and for every 10 regular players there's 1 whale that gets started.
A more generous model may result in a whale dropping to $60 a month, but then again he may keep spending that $100 a month. But if even two regular players decide to drop a measely $20 to get into the game instead of outright quitting because they too need to drop $100 just to have fun and not get shit on, they make up for a potential drop in whale income. Every normal player who decides to drop a little money on the game because they enjoy it and want to have fun after that is just more profit.

If you were to ask blizzard employees if they wanted $1,000 now or a penny doubled every day for a month, I believe they'd jump at the $1,000 based purely on their business practices.
>>
>>157094309
>Control warrior is hit hard

That cancerous deck exist since beta and is always viable no matter how shit the meta is.

>Warlock remains mostly unaffected
Imp gangbang boss

>More control cards hit then aggro
Controls are using classic legendaries. They will always be viable.

>Hunter and warrior aggro will be back unless new cards stop it
Most of the original face cards are nerfed to ground.

Imp Gang is 100% the best card in Zoo that isn't a 1 drop. Saying it will be unaffected is stupid, but it will continue to exist and prey on unrefined meta decks forever, until those decks get refined and it becomes tier 2 again.
>>
>>157094389

You're a complete dumbass in these posts. Either that or absolutely inexperienced.

Stereotyping Asians and Blacks.

You don't understand how Trump can be bad if he's Asian? It "Boggles" your mind that people are bad at the game?

And then you go on to say how simple the game is, but you're just "bored".

And then on this one: >>157093109

Fucking massive insecurity.

Self proclaimed great at strategy games, huh.

You just want to get legend to shield yourself from 12 year olds, huh.

You're an emotional trainwreck, over Hearthstone.

That's just pathetic.

If you don't believe me, screencap your shit and show them to a friend. Don't tell them it's you. See what happens.
