Hearthstone

w00t? You missed out on the intricately designed PvE encounters? You didn't terrorize the ladder with a slightly improved cancerous Shaman deck? You had no chance to enjoy the random fun of the portal cards? Gotta get your priorities in life straight, men.

 

Well, gotta be honest, I rofled the hell out of my ass with that whole "Illidian has arrived. We are not prepared!" bit.

Besides that, meh. Screw Disney, long live Bakshi.

 

I no longer play on EU.

 

RIP

 

cvv and others. I play on EU and my battletag is MicoSelva#1237 . I would welcome more people on my friends list.

 

More people on the bnet friend list, the merrier. I will gladly sacrifice my precious time to help you with the "Battle a friend" quest. Yes, I'm that much of a bro.

Tho, am I the only one that keeps meeting people that play hearthstone? I know like 30+ people (from different social circles) that play it. Earlier today I was drinking with some random guy, and then he started talking about Hearthstone. And this happens like once in every two weeks.

 

Gays bars must have a Hearthstone scene or something.

 

Curiously enough, all the gays I know don't partake in multiplayer games. The one I know best is a huge PS:T fan, while his boyfriend is a Monkey Island fanatic.

Now that I think about it, they prolly dont feel the need to compete with their male brethren that way, since... well, you know, they have other ways to compete

 

I have decided the most idiotic, offensive and altogether moronic card the retards from Blizzard have ever come up with is Yogg. No contest.

It reminds me the way we used to play football as kids. If one team was losing before it was time to go home they'd always say: "Last goal wins". Meaning whoever scores the next goal wins. You could play like a paralyzed retard with a hangover and losing 10:2 but at the end you had an almost one-to-one chance to score the last goal and win.

The same goes for Yogg. You're winning? Great, you're gonna win. You play like shit and you're losing? No worries, just toss out your Yogg and whatever happened in the game so far doesn't matter in the slightest. Yogg can cast Doom, twice CotW a Pyro in your opponent's face and bingo, you win.

Makes me wonder - why don't we get a 1-mana card saying "Battlecry: You have a 50% chance of winning the game instanty." Games would be fast, simple and exciting no? Wow, I could work for Blizzard.

 

And to think you even spent money on it.

Guess it makes it harder to just abandon the game.

 

Tuskarr Totemic is just as badly designed. Reasonably costed card -- with 3/7 chance to completely wreck your shit while simultaneously synergizing with the rest of the deck.

Shaman is dominating the ladder every which way and Blizzard is just sitting there not balancing things as usual.

 

Yeah, that's a stupid card too. Also Flamewreath ofc. (coining a 7/7 on turn 3, such fun).

And Thing from Below. Jesus Christ. Power-wise TfB is by far the most idiotic card in the game. I've seen a Shaman throwing out a Tuskarr (Golem) - Flamewreath - TfB - TfB on fucking turn seven (or eight, can't remember but it was pretty early in the game). That's 23/25 power, on turn seven, for 7 mana, on an empty board. I mean are the devs complete retards of what?

But Yogg is a different kind of idiocy - it fundamentally changes the way the game works.

 

I feel like TfB would make more sense if Shaman didn't have Tunnel Trogg - Tuskarr x Golem - Flamewreathed. It would mean they were using hero power for several turns in the manner of a control deck with little to respond to/with.

 

Thing From Below shouldn't have taunt, that's my feeling. It's the taunt that comes in and usually closes out games by preventing lethal while simultaneously providing a pretty big threat. Think about the Veklar Emperor Twins. That's 7-mana for two taunt 4/6's if you have the activator. Thing From Below is typically two 0-mana 5/5's with taunt. I don't know why it has taunt when it's already an amazing card with zero drawbacks and has only gotten stronger with the next adventure.

 

finally remembered to add you

EDIT - apparently, we are already friends. oh, the fun I have with my memory

 

About as retarded as the playerbase.

 

Had a boring all-day conference today so downloaded Herpstone on muh iphone. Apparently you get a free pack for that and in it was a legendary: Gruul. Crap card but one I surprisingly didn't have. Think I have all bout four or so of the Classic legendaries.

 

I'm seriously jelly. I'm missing like ten myself?

 

I bought the welcome bundle the other day and got Grom for my class leg and then opened Malygos. Were two of the only classic legs I was missing. Not bad for $5.
Still haven't pulled Sylvanas or Harrison though.

I think the only other one I'm missing is King Crush.

I liked that force of beasts one best.

 

I like the Priest cards the best. Sums it all up perfectly.

 

Blizzard doing some nerfing.

Tuskarr finally got fixed. Abusive Sergeant finally got fixed. Yogg-Saron got fixed.

They killed another deck archetype (Charge), because what better way to bring variance to ladder than to keep killing decks wholesale. They nerfed Rockbiter and Execute to 2-mana. Not sure why on either. 2-mana for 3-attack is pretty shit compared to what most other classes can do, and seems wildly overcosted compared to those cousin cards. Considering Shaman's basic cards are garbage and they might weaken again once a lot of their new power cards rotate out, I'm gonna chock this up to Blizzard tunnel vision. Not sure where I stand on Execute, but at 2-mana it weakens it greatly. I think the strongest card Warrior has right now is the Ravaging Ghoul as it sets up so many things, including Execute. Oh well.

Call of the Wild at 9-mana is probably closer to its actual value so I've no problem there. I think CotW is the strongest card in the game, and even then Hunter is still middling enough just to be competitive on ladder.

 

OTK Worgen was moronic. They're definitely shying away from charge mechanics given their recent design decisions. Rockbiter nerf is probably meant to impact aggro Shaman. Execete, not sure, since it impacts Control Warriors more and they weren't exactly dominant on the ladder. It's still playable and one of the best removals. Abusive never really struck me as a problem, at least, not the 2 attack part of it. Card will still be used because it's the attack buff to another minion that makes it see play.

Never thought CoTW was overpowered. Hunters have to draw and play on curve to win. The class has little in the way of reliable removal and no good board clears outside of explosive trap which doesn't help much mid/late game.
