Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

I hate Tickatus so much.

So, I'm playing Kibler's Highlander DH, finally getting some Demon Hunter wins in. I run into a Shaman, and my mulligan is awful. No cards below 4 mana, although mercifully I had an Illidari Felblade on my leftmost spot. He starts with a Surging Tempest, which is always spooky. I can't respond, so I whack his face and pass.

On his second turn, he coin Lightning Bloomed out Inara Stormcrash. I again had no response, although luckily I drew Chaos Strike to kill the Tempest off. He played Primordial Studies with his one remaining mana on turn 3, and brought me down to 14. Finally, I was able to Felblade his Inara and take back the board.

His next plays were super low-tempo - he Lava Bursted my Felblade, and played a discovered Lady Vashj. Meanwhile, I managed to scrounge my way back to 24 health thanks to Eye Beam, Circus Medic, and Ashtongue Battlelord. I pretty much had the game on lock.

Turn 7 comes around, and he topdecks Vashj Prime. Since I still had an Ashtongue, I traded into it and didn't worry. His turn 8 - Doomhammer, 0-mana Stormstrike, 0-mana Stormstrike, Rockbiter Weapon, 0-mana Lightning Bolt. Those were the only cards in his hand. He bursted me for 25 damage through a Taunt. All because he Discovered a random Lady Vashj and topdecked Vashj Prime on curve. It gave him exactly the cards that would've killed me that turn, because otherwise I would've Zephrysed.

Christ.

On the plus side, the very next game a Mage very kindly Devolving Missilesed me into a Forest Warden Omu, letting me play Zai, the Incredible to double Nethrandamus and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, and then play Nethrandamus on the same turn. So, it's highs and lows tonight.

I hate Tickatus so much.

                                                 ... i came here for the same reason

Is it me? Is it? But out of 10 games played this afternoon at and around Gold 2 I've been smacked around by a fucking Tiller Priest 8 times. It's pointless and infuriating to play against that goddamn deck. 

 I cannot wait for the Android version of MTGA to drop on Thursday. At least I'll have some fun getting hammered by Rogue Decks and Ugin. 

 Hearthstone is a fucking shitshow at the moment. 

I love how Warlocks can just slap 1 card into their deck and win any control matchup with literally 0 counterplay whatsoever. Fun. Well Warlocks, go fuck yourselves and have fun digging out all the bombs from your deck as you literally play the green card every turn to draw even more crap.

Delete any mind control things  from the game. So sick and tired of having my shit stolen. 

Mandatory Priest is a cancer class that only uses random crap discovered (optionaly from other players) Please just revert the fucking changes. Much rather die to mind blast than being bored to death by endless removal discoveries. Whoever thought that was not toxic game design needs their head checked. 

Netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, netdecks, aggros, and guess what?

Netdecks and aggros

So I played Hearthstone again after more than a week, and I got welcomed by consecutive games against the new Ramp Paladin, and three consecutive games against the new Token Druid. I was dead by turns 5-6 every time. Talk about a rude welcome. But it's all good since I won five straight after that, so it evened out. 8-)

Seriously though, if those two decks are left unchecked, we might be in for a worse meta than the one ruled by Evolve Shaman once the meta settles down some more. Those decks are somehow even more degenerate than Evolve Shaman, which is crazy. I expect nerfs soon, maybe to High Abbess Alura and Arbor Up.

Fuck priest, use your own damn cards. 

I used to love Priest (back in the Dragon priest days) - was my favorite class.

Then they turned it in to a steal, res, generate almost infinite cards class.  Or Raza/res priest in Wild (where I play).

I don't play the class anymore and I can't blame people for hating it.

Can please all you dibshit Secret Mages, Big/Raza Priests and Odd Pallys get out the game? Yeah you cool, you play the best Meta Decks and the best in the world! We get it! Your Emote-Game is strong and your skill is outta this world! 

Every day it passes, I'm more and more convinced that people playing top tier decks in casual are just either the party poppers in every fiesta, or just people without confidence to play ranked.

They just don't see joy in anything and just want a win...

I cry a little for them... Then I remember that frustration over them sent me here, and I just don't care.

Why is it that whenever I play again after taking a long break, I always get queued up against my chosen deck's worst matchup? 

In this instance, I decide to play Big Warrior and my first three games are against Lifesteal OTK Demon Hunters, which I have no chance of beating with my slow deck. It's like the game is intentionally telling me to quit because it'll just give me misery. 

Penflinger. Really that card is so terrible to play against. Not because I lose to it, but because it takes 15 minutes to play it out, one damage at a time.

Why can't priest never have a normal fucking archetype, but does it always have to be the most toxic shit ever. Ress priest or steal priest, all played by absolutely degenerates. Rather face 10 face rogues. 

God I love Tickatus; great design, hard to pull off and super interactive.

I most enjoy the times it gets played multiple times! Feelsgreatman!

Anyway, guess it's back to playing Odd Rogue...

This is the third f..... week in a row in which rerolling a weekly Battlegrounds quest either "Deal x damge" or  "Finish top 4"  resulted in the other one!

I don't play this mode. I hate it! Don't give me this! Or at least respect my rerolls!

(The Win in TB, Duels and BG quest is okay)

Can someone please nerf this nonsense rogue stealth deck. I thought, non interactive games where a thing, blizzard did not want? Well played. I started to play this deck right now, because I was really fed up and well - I went from Legend 9000 to 4000 in less than an hour. Great design. I love Secret Passage especially. It's like: "Hey - you were not playing card efficient? Here, get 4 new cards."

How can one even lose with this deck (set aside mirror matches).

ZERO hype for the new Barrens expansion. Almost every legendary card of the new set seems boring AF. Almost no new mechanics, and the only ones that I see (buildings, frenzy) are anonymous to say the least. Only powercreeps and super boring effects. And we get THIS while al LOT of fun stuff rotates out from standard, like highlander decks, Galakrond and quests.

To this, add that the theme is shitty to me too, since I don't like Horde.

Thanks Blizzard for making Rogue the overpowered abomination that it is. Controlling the board for the whole game, still at 27 health, I steal my opponent's buffed weapon. What does he do? Plays his 1 mana draw 4 FUCKING CARDS FOR WITH NO DOWNSIDE. Plays a stealth minion I can't interact with, deals 20 damage in 1 turn and then draws his eviscerates and sinister strike. Nice.

Classic Mode is 3 days in and already filled with "Greetings" and "Well Played" after every Turn. Could you people please just shut up?! I know you are the best and always Rank1 Legend... every one of you! Congrats.

Saviours of Uldum "RnG" is fucking abusive and is at this point detrimental to my mental health and personal belongings.

How the fuck are you supposed beat this shit when every time you come close something like this happens,

no cards, no board, top decks crackle twice in a row and hits for 6 twice, anything less and I win but nooooo. I'm not aloud, after all these years this horse shit still wants to arse fuck me everytime I try. 

Wasn't even the boss, just some random fuck knuckle who swaps minions around every fucking turn, for free, automatically. 

Very next run, bullshit random attacks at the end of turn one, 1/4 chance to hit face for 2 damage preventing me from a win, of course that lands. My 50/50's all go the worst way possible but sure let his 1 in 4's go perfect 7 times in a row, cheers cunts. 

Like I get you want it to be some sort of challenge but guess what. The unfeeling, unknowing AI doesn't care if it loses time and time again to content it paid real life money for just to be abused by RnG and unable to even complete it, for years on end. 

Humans fucking well do and this one is ready to destroy thousands of pounds worth of belongings because witnessing the odds go against you time and fucking time and fucking time again is just beyond fucking comprehension. 

Give me a refund for this impossible shit or make it actually, you know, winnable. Do something but it's current form is just fucking disgusting. 

Fucking jokers. I hope the cunt who designed this gets dragged over glass balls first then thrown into a muddy piranha pond. 

Why make it this "hard"? How the fuck does it benefit you to actively refuse me winning in a single player "story" that I am supposed to give a single toss about at this point. 

RnG my arse this shit is more rigged than an election.

I obviously missed the patch where Deck of Lunacy was changed to be always in the starting hand of every opposing mage player.

Quote From WiseWolf

I obviously missed the patch where Deck of Lunacy was changed to be always in the starting hand of every opposing mage player.

I am convinced that the only ones that don't have it are not running the card. 

I'm achievement hunting. More precisely, going for the Sunscale Raptor achievement (in a deck with watch posts and Hog Rancher for those achievements as well). I find an opponent in wild and I quickly understood that he's also achievement hunting and I understood it immediately because he was going for a similar deck (with watch posts and Hog Rancher), except he was going for the Demon Hunter Sigil and Deathrattle achievements. 

So I naturally stopped attacking and hoped he'd do the same. He didn't. My raptor already had 4 frenzy stacks. I was one stack away against an opponent doing the same thing as me and he didn't get it.

Exorzist, if you're here, why did you end the game man? I still hope you have fun achievement hunting, but why not help a brother achievement hunter?

I've played 4 games with it just now....been to final 6 cards every hand...still haven't seen it

Deck of Lunacy

I'm tired of watch posts already. I cant believe something has made me actually miss lackey shit. Inb4

"Just remove the 2 mana 2/4 on turn 2 lol"

Now aggro gets more just play shit cards that are good in any scenario that punish your opponent for playing the game lol. At least with lackeys you had a chance your opponent would get a lackey that did nothing, a slim chance but it was there. They played a 2/4 on turn two so now everything your play from then until you remove it makes you lose tempo and the game. Whoever thought this was good game design should try a class other than rogue, and mage and be reminded that cards for other classes actually cost mana. 

I have yet to play against a mage that doesn't have a T2 deck of lunacy.. wtf

    I have never spoke against a deck since this game has existed. I tolerated all the overpowered bullshit through out the years, and I never thought there would be a deck that would piss me off more than Ultimate Infestation Jade druid, when they ramp on curve and you can't find that damned geist. Even then, I didn't say anything because I was "Unlucky" for not finding it.

    But that's the past, and now we have a deck that CANNOT be countered since you don't know what type of RNG bullshit they will pull off. And no, this is not the same RNG like every other meta. This is RNG that is GUARANTEED to high roll every single time in your opponent's favor. Every turn feels like hell against a turn 2 deck of lunacy, regardless of your class and deck archetype.

    "Just play Priest 4Head." Sure, that's what I did. Tell me though, what can you do against "MAGE" that has more OTK potential than DH OTK, has more card draw than tempo rogue, has more board control than warlock and warrior, and out values any other control deck at the moment.

    Oh and it gets better when they get a skull of gul'dan into the mix. Never thought I would see a turn where they draw half their deck, OTKs me from full health, thanks to TWO 3 mana nagrand slams from the skull (Early incanter's flow), into 1 mana refreshing spring, into TWO 1 mana fireballs. Would you look at that, doesn't even need his masks of C'thun to end the job or the bullshit spell damage minions for that extra 1-2 damage.

    We usually say "Clownfiesta" as sarcasm or a joke or "E-sports" when RNG decides the game. But this, this is LITERAL "Clownfiesta."

Dont even bother playing the tavern brawl until lunacy is nerfed either.

Every time I play against a mage or a rogue they discover it and it's just as busted as in constructed.

I was on a nice winning streak and was on the verge of winning another game, only to misplay and eventually lose. Of course, after that misplay, I proceed to lose 4 straight. 

Does this happen to anyone else? My punishment for a misplay always extends to several games, which eventually becomes a long losing streak. It's absolutely frustrating. 

Just had the most annoying, frustrating, troll-tastic game ever. And of course, it's against a Priest. 

I play my Rattlegore and it's at 2 health, and what does my opponent play? A goddamn Deathwarden then kills the Rattlegore with an Initiation to steal it. 

I manage to steal it back with a Faceless Manipulator, but then he plays Idol of Y'Shaarj that pulls a 10/10 Robes of Protection. I play Brawl to get rid of it, but it survives. I play a 2nd Brawl, and it SURVIVES AGAIN. That's when I rage-quit.

What kind of fucking asshole runs those stupid cards? That guy's deck was heavily teched to annoy opponents, and I wish he'd choke on his food today, that f*cker. So goddamn triggering. 

OTK Demon Hunter should absolutely destroy Warlock. Face hunter Viper played on Week 1 Grandmasters might also do it, I think.

I bet the guy was very happy to have beaten you. Since his deck doesnt beat anyone else.

Today I fought someone trying out their garbage homebrew freeze/no minion mage deck, and I was ready to kill him for like 4/5 turns, but apparently Hearthstone decided it wasn’t my turnto win and made him draw every single freeze card in his deck IN A ROW. He still had 18 cards left and he topdecks Dawngrasp, Cone of Cold and FLURRY. And after all of that, it turns out he was playing MORDRESH. IN A SPELL MAGE DECK. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

How this game from bronze 10 to Diamond 5 and D5 to Legend
Is totally different?

i got down from D3 to 5, i'm so bad, but i really want to be legend 

what a joy (not) to play HS:

First game: Tickatus lock
Second game: Murloc shammy
Third game: Libram + Secret Pally

Just......

The problem with doing the daily every day and week. Is that most days I dont want to play this shitty game.

dude, while I agree with you ... could you just turn it a bit down with your "I wanna die, I don't deserve to live", "please kill me"

someone get Kaladin (edit: Shrutebucks) a counselor. a good one, please. quickly.

Salt thread is one thing, permanently crying about losing his will to live (that's nicely said)  over a card game is not. 

To the "people" playing face hunter and secret libram paladin in casual... fuck you.

Quote From kaladin

you win blizzard.  im going to play paladin.  you fucking win.  fun is dead.  winning is more important thatn anything else.  fuck my mental heatlh.

inb4 get help and stop posting, tone it down, here's -20 in downvotes because we dont wnat you here.

edit: first matchup is a paladin mirror where i lose to the absolute nuts vs my as bad as is possible draw.  nice.

edit: double aggro matchups, what the fuck does paladin even beat??????????????????

edit: 0-4 with libram paladin, this deck is complete trash.

I really want to watch your matchs

Seriously Tickatus has to go

It's no wonder this game isn't allowed to have teeth anymore. A bad, easy to control card like Tickatus gets constant complaints despite being a bad card in a tier 4 deck. Is it any wonder that they are afraid of fun stuff like coldlight oracle or other unique win conditions?

People complain about everything, I swear you want a meta of vanilla stats minions with no text where both players get to play at the same time, everything is a constant mirror and if you look like you might lose,  Blizzard just preemptively ends the game and tells you you both win.

That is the boring mess every constant complainer is advocating for. Prove me wrong. What are you okay losing to? Can't have burst,  can't have combo,  can't have good value or fatigue win cons. What are you okay losing to?

So I decide to play again after a week, piloting a Control Priest deck. This is the queue of opponents I run into:

Control Warlock (insta-loss)

OTK Demon Hunter (insta-loss too)

OTK Demon Hunter (INSTA-LOSS)

Control Shaman (got OTK'd by an Al'Akir combo that I didn't know about; I was in control the whole game)

Control Warlock (INSTAAAAAAA-LOSSSSSSSSS)

This is why I'm playing less and less these days. It's like the game itself is pushing me out. How the hell do you explain that gauntlet of opponents, who HARD-COUNTER the deck I'm piloting? Of course when I made the switch to an OTK Demon Hunter, I faced three straight Rogues in a row. 

Screw you, Blizzard. Your match-making is RIGGED. 

F*ck aggro.

I HATE HOW DEVOLVING MISSILES CAN HIT THE SAME TARGET 3 FUCKING TIMES IN A 50/50 SCENARIO WD OHQFVDHIASW

This probably isn't the thread for this, but I don't think it deserves its own thread so yeah.

I have a lengthy, drawn-out priest mirror with a guy playing that deck with the buffs and the bloodweavers. I wind up winning in the late game. Guy sends a friend request, then says: "Sethekks in bottom 4 (cards). How gay."

*blink* really dude? I mean, really? In 2021? I'm picturing this guy as 46 years old, still wearing his baseball backwards or something - I don't even know how to respond. He unfriends and vanishes before I can even think of a reply.

APM mage is quite fun and interactive. they played on TURN 4, 10 mana worth of minions and which were double sorcerers flamewaker and luna to kill me with a full board and and almost full health as they played more than 20 cards. ON TURN 4

Some people are just so ridiculous and childish with their salt it is actually quite difficult to be mad at them.

sometimes, when I stumble over yet another one of Kaladin's "pls end my life" posts, I recall this saying ...

"if it smells like dog poo everywhere you go, you might want to check your shoes."

:)

I fucking hate arena right now, its so fucking stupid. literally 50% chance to lose the game on the spot going second fuck this game. Also fuck druid, such a stupid fucking arena meta, literally go first get 3 minions play mark of the lotus and win the game because no class can deal with that bullshit and still live past the endless bullshit that is druid card generation

Paladin players need to be [humanely euthanized] like the [homunculi] they are.

If this shit class isn't gutted within the next patch I'll [carefully take my time to plan every turn against] every single one of those [unsavory individuals of society] until they [lose the desire to play the game for a pronlonged period of time].

Love watching rogues takes their entire fucking turn to play their smooth brain million cards and rope

FUCK aggro.

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

Paladin players need to be fucking gassed like the subhuman degenerates they are.

If this shit class isn't gutted within the next patch I'll rope emote spam every single one of those wastes of oxygen until they uninstall.

I know this is the salt thread, but the first paragraph crossed the line imho. Please be so kind and edit or delete that. 

done

at this point, I just want to commend Kaladin for not wanting to die all the time, or being killed all the time anymore, and instead just losing 99% to his opponents' topdecks.

we have come so far! :) thank you, Schrutebucks.

On Topic: Can someone please make paladin secrets make them eat about 10 fking dmg whenever they draw one with their shitty sword? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

There’s really no reason to be an ass you know. Can we do something about these harassment posts

Is this your personal diary? Or are you permanently salty? If so I'd recommend to take a break. The game seems not fun and causes just anger. Why are you playing it?

yeah, Schrutebucks (Kaladin) uses every single thread to spill hate.

only good thing so far (and I commend him for that): he stopped spamming how he wants to be killed, isnt worth living, etc. Thumbs up Schruteman!

Turn 1, coin incanter's flow, emote

turn 2, incanter's flow, emote

turn 3, destroy my board

turn 4, arcane intellect, primal studies, destroy one minion, spring water, play minion, destroy my board, spring water, apexis blast.

Fucking hell. And I'm supposed to be the one pushing for tempo against this crap.

Good God, can the devs just nuke Paladin to the ground? Raze every single one of its freaking tools. It's been dominant for FAR too long. BURN IT TO THE GROUND

Board state is thus: Opponent (of course it's paladin, is there any other class?) has two big Kazakus golems and a 3/4. I have a Kazakus and a big Kazakus golem with lifesteal. Opponent has had Steed secret up for most of the game; I've been very patiently playing around it and it's worked out well so far. The only other secret played this game has been an Oh My Yogg! Last turn, my opponent played a Secret. To play around Oh My Yogg! (because of course I have to play around a second copy), I target my big lifesteal with Psyche Split (What's the worst that can happen? I think). Well, the second Oh My Yogg! turns Psyche Split into Malevolent Strike, which (you guessed it) targets my big lifesteal instead of any of the other minions on board.

Related: Can anyone confirm whether Oh My Yogg! picks new targets for spells? I swear I've played other targeting spells that had their targets change post-Yogg (and often to my detriment).

It is indeed supposed to be random. never seen it fuck my opponent over for a change thoug

Just another case of Mage rage...

My goal has been to get to Diamond 10 with a meme Control Hunter (deck in signature) and Mage is obviously a rough match-up.

I'm at Platinum 4 after a losing streak and queue into a Mage who doesn't get the nut draw so I actually have a chance.  I have him on the ropes at 6 HP with no board while I have 16 HP, mankrik's wife with 5 health left, a 1/1, and two 5/5 golems with Lifesteal.

He plays the hail mary Solarian Prime and the first 4 spells are just some minor board damage and a secret, but the last one is Potion of Illusion which allows him to play another Solarian Prime with his 1 leftover mana crystal.  Naturally, the second Prime casts Refreshing Spring Water as well as another copy of Potion of Illusion which allows him to play two more copies of the Prime card and a whole bunch of bullshit ensues.

At the end of it all I'm left with a 3/5 on board and he's still at 6 HP so I figure I got a chance so long as one of his 3 randomly generated secrets isn't Ice Barrier.  I push face and luck out as there's no barrier and he's down to 3 HP.  I still have 2 copies of Quick Shot in my deck as well as Tracking and Barak Kodobane in hand.  However, my hopes are for naught as both fail to find Quick Shot and I lose to a Mask of C'Thun the next turn...fucking Mage man...fucking Mage.

Update:  After purging my salt here I went on a 3-game win streak and got to D10...thank you lucky salt thread, thank you!

mark of the lotus is such a stupid fucking card, why are you allowed to win the game just by playing 1 mana

Mages always so skillfuly topdeck devoling missiles. 

MY OPPONENT IS A FUCKING LUCKER AND I HATE IT

Deathwing

Battlecry: your opponent draws Hex

Optimistic Ogre misses Samuro. Whatever, its his only minion anyway who cares. I am winning on the board like crazy anyway

Shifty Sophmore into Shadowstep perfectly into a Cold Blood that clears my board

Yeah I'm going to go and take a break for a while. Fuck this.

Spell mages always having ice barrier from ring toss, always having the perfect devolving missiles, 283012938912 removal which they just so happen to draw into every single time. Getting overstatted crap from apexis blast. Just so tired of this deck. Give me paladin all day, atleast it doesn´t feel like they rng clownfiesta you while drawing and playing 89018293210 cards a turn. 

Edit: Why do rogues always feel the need to rope????? oh right because they play a milion fucking cards a turn.

to be fair, there are only 6 secrets in standard and mages get two shots at it.  it's FAR more likely they get ice barrier than missing it.

I know, it just annoys me lol To be fair half the current meta's problem has to do with a very good limited card pool.

Yes, it's random: it choose a random best target to piss you off. Stupid Secret, even worse than Counterspell.

I know this is never going to get nerfed.

But fuck Devolving Missiles man

I'll gladly accept that its a shaman card. In mage it simply makes the casino nature of the deck even worse. I swear the win rate of this card should be a lot higher than it ever seems.

I love mage, its my favourite class but that card just tilts me so fucking hard.

honestly whats the point of playing quillboargrounds anymore

Ah yes, the complete incel deck thats Odd Warrior, proofing that a control deck can be as easy as pressing the HP button! 

Every day it passes, I'm more and more certain that people just care about winning and not having fun.

"Let's go to casual to try some stupidly fun decks!"

*Runs into 8 tier 1 decks consecutively*

Really, what's wrong with people? Are they just victims of abuse in their houses and need to prove that they can do something well so they just queue against meme decks in casual to win because in every other game mode they get obliterated?

Honestly, that kind of people is the reason I want to uninstall the game once every week...

And never forget... FUCK AGGRO. 

Which smoothbrain dev thought Oh my Yogg was a good idea... 

Love losing against all the mage cards Rogue gets to play

So far, through 6 games in this new meta, I've faced 4 Paladins and 1 Mage, and lost all of them. Nothing has changed. I am not happy. 

Didn't think it would be possible, but the meta actually got worse after the nerfs. It's like the clowfiesta of brainless cancer decks.

So long I found:

_ weapon rogue;
_ face hunter;
_ burn mage;
_ burn shaman;
_ token druid.

But I must admit that people can get very original when it comes to not use their brain.

Don't know why I keep playing this game when I'm always mad at every interaction that happens and can't really play anything different and original if I want to win. Currently trying to pilot a new deck that started off really well but now just on a crazy long losing streak. Why am I doing this to myself...

Brilliant fucking idea nerfing Refreshing Spring water rather than Incanters Flow. Mage is still a highrolly shitty class currently. But I guess thats what a sorcerer is all about gambling and clownfiestas. Please release propper mage cards next time. No more random random random! 

Lmao hearthstone as an "esport"

Its literally just 2 people seeing who can draw better

Not sure if this is salt or just exasperation but the balance patch recently that nerfed Crabrider has done nothing. Five nerfs and 10 buffs that have had so little effect that the meta is exactly the same...

I'm not even sure how that's even possible, to make that many changes and not make an impact?!?

In all honesty the early numbers are showing paladin even stronger now.

When you play a obvious meme deck made only for Paladin achievements and your opponent:

1 Plays Raza priest 

2 unnecessarily slowly,

3 mostly go face and

4 Flares your secrets.

Fuuuuuck....

Just playing some slower contol-ish decks and ONLY queing into Tickatus Warlock for 15 games IN A ROW! Not only that, but in 6 out of those 15 matches my opponent got 2 "randomly" discovered Tickatusses from Demonic Studies... Such a FUN game when they mill your entire deck, AND go into their infinite value Lord Jaraxxus that almost nothing can outvalue/outlast... (Pretty sure only Neeru Fireblades imps can outlast that hero power...) How is any slow strategy supposed to compete against That?!? 

Where are all these Paladins that people complain about constantly? i would LOVE to play against those Paladins constantly instead of Tickatus/Lord Jaraxxus Warlock for even MORE games in a row!!!

I hate Paladin so goddamn much right now. Every deck I want to play still dies to all of its stupid archetypes. Makes me want to kick the devs in their stupid little faces. Why won't the class just die??? 

Quote From kaladin

edit: why does it not count as playing a game if you concede on turn 6?

"Similar to the Friendly Feud event, conceding requires the conceding player to have 15 HP or below, or both players have passed 10 turns or more; otherwise, the rewards will not be granted." from https://hearthstone.fandom.com/wiki/Quest#Daily_quests

Why is Oh My Yogg! allowed to exist in its current form? Why couldn't Blizzard change it to something like, "After your opponent casts a spell, cast a random one of the same Cost," or "When you cast this from your deck, Terry Crews comes to your house and punches you in the solar plexus."? Blizzard, here's some feedback: Getting my spells "countered" as early as turn 2 is not fun. I would also like to take part in playing this game you call "Hearthstone," and I can't do that if I'm getting my spells turned into useless junk.

Also, giving their weapon 1 less Durability doesn't change the fact that starting on turn 2 they get free tempo from either Avenge (free stats! whee!), Galloping Savior (free stats! whee!), or Oh My Yogg! (free Counterspell! whee!), not to mention that their opponent has to play around ALL of those secrets while the Paladin continues to develop onto the board. You essentially have two choices: you can play on pins and needles and fall behind on the board, or you can guess which Secret it is....and still fall behind on board if you're wrong.

P.S. - Can we talk about how everyone knew Paladin was the best class pre-patch, and the only changes Blizzard made to it were to nerf Crabrider, a neutral that saw play in more than just Paladin decks, and to "nerf" First Day of School by making it slightly worse on turn 1 or 2 but waaaaaaaaaay better after that? The reasoning behind the changes make sense, but for those to be the ONLY changes to the most powerful class in the game are pretty annoying. Unless the mini-set has a neutral minion with: "Battlecry: Deal 10 damage to your opponent for every Secret they've triggered this game," I don't see how it can bring about significant change to the power level of Paladin.

need a deck to beat tempo priest

spell mage is actual trash.

why the fuck did blizzard give paladins counterspell

with the way 'play a game is counted' its actually really hard to play a single fucking game.  you have to wait for your opponent to do their stupid bullshit instead of conceding games that are clearly lost. 

fuck you blizzard.

edit: been playing for around 40 minutes, played 5 or 6 games, blizzard counts one of them. fuck you blizzard.

Playing Arena.

Opponent has an Arcane Luminary on board and another 6/4.

I rush into the 6/4 because his hand is empty

Topdeck Arcane Orb into disgusting Evocation RNG

yeah, fuck that

turn 8 solitaire otk.......

edit: I see.  If it wasn't obvious to everyone else yet, just look at how my posts get downvoted vs how everyone else gets upvoted, for the same shit.

Win streak ended thanks to getting dumped by battle.net. Shit.

20 minutes of perfect flawless play but doesnt matter one bit because i didnt draw reno in my first 22 cards.

salty about hearthstone and posting about it

there exist way too many uninteractive solitaire decks

 your fun is wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

the ONLY enjoyable heartshtone is ignoring the board and vomitting your entire hand in one otk.  you are WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG if you think otherwise.  unitsntall. deelete your entire life.  because you are WRONG.

OK, Raza priest getting Coldarra Drake from Dragonqueen Alexstrasza is not cool.

things im not allowed to do:

• draw my win condition in the first 25 cards
• post salt in the salt thread on OOC

why do you guys downvote me for posting salt here but upvote everyone else?

edit: what do you know, ANOTHER loss because i didnt draw my win con in the first 20 cards.  entirely my fault for drawing poorly.  perfect play literally doesnt matter.

i dont spam, i post salt in the salt thread, yet you all still downvote me. what the fuck is wrong with you

cool cool cool coool opponent deleted around 2/3 of my deck.  i

bye guys, this site is trash. mods dont remove harassment posts, and im accused of being a salt train. 

I would rather fight 100 paladins in a row than fight a single druid. Scummy deck for a scummy class, what are you even supposed to do against it

As if Riot's most recent balance update wasn't horrible enough, I now also continuously get absolutely fucked at the foundry encounter in lab of legends because they vomit out a full board of 1 cost bullshit on turn one next to their free professor von Yipp while even with their foundry I still draw like absolute shit (of course with about 30 cards and 10 mushrooms I drew 5 mushrooms within 3 draws).

If there was one thing the foundry encounter did not need it was more highroll bullshit.

Well fuck. Who needs to play well when you can just find double Incanter's, draw half your deck, drop double ring toss for 2 mana each, and cheap burn for days? Fuckin' deck pilots itself.

Great new card, Blizzard.

Who the hell thought 1 mana counterspell was a good idea

Why is playing against priest such an insufferable experience? Doesn't even matter if I win or lose I just feel angry the entire match

I died to a 1.1% lethal in Battlegrounds

The game after that I died to a 6.4% lethal.

ThAnKs BaTtLeGrOuNdS!

Ugh, after some bad beats from a few of the cards listed below I wanted to pour out some pent-up Standard mode salt.  However, I know nothing about game balance so this is more of a cursing into the void than trying to start a discussion (hence the salt thread).

Cards that make me salty whenever I see them because I've felt they're too strong for the mana cost from Day 1:

• Lightning Bloom
• Devolving Missiles
• Conviction (Rank 1)
• Sword of the Fallen (even after the nerf)
• Cascading Disaster
• Illidari Inquisitor

Similarly, there are cards I've felt are mistakes not because of their inherent strength, but because they limit the design space/are always on the verge of causing a salt storm:

• Skull of Gul'dan
• Incanter's Flow
• Solar Eclipse
• Apotheosis

In contrast there are cards that raise my sodium when I face them but still feel fair for the mana cost:

• Alexstrasza the Life-Binder
• Soul Mirror - only get salty when I see the 2nd and 3rd copy
• Death Speaker Blackthorn
• Trampling Rhino
• Hysteria (nerf dropped it down from the previous list)
• Ring Toss
• Wand Thief
• Sethekk Veilweaver - stand in for Priest discover mechanics in general like Palm Reading

Lastly there are cards that make me salty because I wanted them to rotate out of the core set/was tired of seeing them:

• Fireball
• Shadowstep

I would like to take the mothers of all of these cards out for a nice seafood dinner and then never call them again.

I thought I could farm some easy wins to get my gold Shaman portrait with the new #1 deck on HSReplay: Elemental Shaman. 

Oh boy, what a fool I was. Turns out Shaman is still a huge pile of shit that is impossible to win with. Like goddamn, even my meme big Demon Hunter has a higher winrate than this sack of shit.

Disconnects, server issues. And we're supposed to be thrilled by this announcement of cross region play?

4 games, 3 disconnects. Won one of them because the servers fucks everyone apparently. But then lost stars after being informed that I won my last disconnect? Yup, guess I wont be playing hearthstone today, and tomorrow too because I have shit to do and the last thing I need is to lose my games because blizz cant operate a server for shit.

Whats the point of putting cards into your deck anymore. What the fuck is the point of card tracking. HOW DO YOU PLAY AROUND ANYTHING. In trouble? JUST DISCOVER ANOTHER FUCKING ANSWER

Quote From dapperdog

But then lost stars after being informed that I won my last disconnect?

I think that's actually a bug. I disconnected a couple of times due to shitty internet and each time got told I 'won' whenever I came back.

Wow 10-0 trying the new duels decks, and I fight a guy with an absolutely shit deck and shit powers. Howe does he get so high? Blade of fucking Quel'dalar

They should remove raise dead from the game

and yes, its once again priest thats pissing me off. 

RNG is so fun. Lets just play wandmaker and get a random Unstable Evolution into an 8/8 with taunt. Nice.

I'm so tired of the the way this game just wanting me to always be at 50% win rate over all. Any win streak I get, it will be matched by a losing streak. If I win 8 in a row, you can bet I'll lose the next 6 or 7 because the game wants me to. It's super frustrating.

Matchmaking is effed up too. When I switched to a Priest deck after playing Shaman, guess what the first opponent I faced? You guessed it, a Control Warlock. This game makes me hurt myself so much 

 Most bullshit cards for me right now are [Hearthstone Card (Incanter's Flow) Not Found] and [Hearthstone Card (Devolving Missiles) Not Found].

And half on priest decks with their - "created by".

I am OK with losin to Warrior who endured my minions. I am OK with bashing with Demon Hunter. I am OK with playing vs Warlock. All those games can be frustrating but I know their plan and can try to play accordingly.

Playing vs priest is RNG fiesta when you don't have idea how many mirrors they still have.

An mage with Flow mana chest is just absurd. I don't care about their win rate. Playing vs mage who cast Flow on turn two or one is not fun at all.

Wow guys, let's steal away another game as Priest today!

Opponent's board is full and about to kill me? Lets just discover Deathwing! 

Oh no, our opponenet has refilled their board again? Well, let's just topdeck wandmaker into wave of apathy. But we are not done yet kiddos, lets next topdeck fucking APOTHEOSIS and proceed to win

I am reminded that Shaman is still unplayable garbage and I am not quite sure how it is even close to the realm of tier 1

I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT PALADIN. PLEASE COME HOME ALREADY. THE OH MY YOGGS WERE ANNOYING, BUT AT LEAST I COULD PLAY AROUND IT TO A DEGREE. HOW THE FUCK IS 'CREATED BY' AN ACTUAL GAME PLAN

welcome back, Kaladin :)

Never had a more shit RNG day than I've had today. Had two opponents cheese topdeck victory against me while at 1 health, had every Imprisoned Felhound hit my face regardless of how many minions, had every 50/50 go against me, had virtually every matchup I queue into be an unfavourable one. I don't want to do this any more. 3 Librams of Hope in one game? Yep. Cenarion Ward makes opponent a Tirion? Sure. My Troublemaker 3/3s never, ever hitting where I need them to? Yep.

Fuck this.

EDIT

Came back today, went on a stupid winning streak and hit my goal rank for the season. Didn't actually play any better (or worse), just got luckier with my draw, RNG, and matchups. What a ridiculous crapshoot this game is!

It's often like that for me too. One day you go on an insane winning streak with lucky draws and topdecks all around, the next day it's the complete opposite where your draws are crap and all your opponents just seem to have the nuts against you. It's like the game is trying its hardest to make sure your win rate hovers at 50% all the time -_-

Created by priest.

Thats all

So, I am actually in wild bronze, andAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGROAGGRO

This is how Blizzard support deal with players who have some problem playing game.

https://prnt.sc/192hyvh

I have problem with game random crashes and disconnects. I was just asking them to help me fix that issue but all i got is lots of ignored tickets and when they got tired they just treaten me like this. 

Thats how Blizzard treats f2p players...

Built a wild shaman deck designed to kill myself as quickly as possible: we got evolves and buffs and windfuries to buff our opponent's minions so they can smash them into our face and we can get the damn legendary quest done.

So of course the first idiot I queue into in casual is the only person playing Hearthstone not interested AT ALL in winning, going out of his way to kill his own minions so I have to wait until I can safely concede and still get credit for a game played.

EDIT: What is the fucking DEAL with Mages? I'm on Wild Ladder now and still queued into an asshole who refused to send his buffed minions into my face! TAKE YOUR FREE WIN YOU FUCKING MORON

Why can't we progress through achievements in casual, when achievement playing is the definition of casual playing?

Why do I have to go to wild mode and interact with moronic douchebags that see someone play Lorewalker Cho into Sigil of Summoning and feel the need to immediatly kill the Cho with anything on their disposal, even their own spells? How awful can you be to do that?

EDIT: PS - Nice Nozdormu day, 4 games, 0 blitz mode.

Yeah... for the people who play Aggro or Big Priest in casual... GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

How can someone have FUN if the opponent just go face like a fucking bot... Murloc Shaman... Odd Paladin... Pirate Warrior... Kingsbane Rogue... Go to ladder you scumbags...

I can't stress this enough... FUCK AGGRO.

I couldn't stop laughing at my opponent who burned his Blightborn Tamsin because of a full hand. Hilarious!

Unfortunately, the very same thing happened to me the next game, when I played Raise Dead which filled my hand, forgetting I would be completing the questline while doing so. Bye, Blightborn Tamsin! Thank my stupidity for your getting burned!

As if that wasn't mortifying enough, I did it AGAIN in the very next game. I have never felt so embarrassed to be a Hearthstone player at that moment, I wanted to shrink out of existence 

I HAVE PROVEN MYSELF TO BE A GREAT WIZARD. I HAVE DRAWN AND PLAYED BOTH MY INCANTER'S FLOWS BY TURN 2!

This is the one time Im going to do this. If anyone hold up stats in front of my face, I'll tell them to fuck off.

Why? Because mage isn't on the top of the list, and we all know damn well its broken as hell and only countered by aggro decks and nothing else. And even then that can easily turn around with a simple Incanter's Flow on 2.

Ive never had an experience as bad as when I see mage play incanter's flow. I'll have 'uncounterable' barrens secret paladin anyday. Hell, just unnerf crabrider, because if it destroys that bloody class it'll be worth it.

I usually don't post on forums, but I guess I needed to blow off some steam. What is up with the BMing? What is up with the 'thank you's and why do people think that just because you won a game, then you have the right to also gloat? It pisses me off sometimes, but it used to be ok when it was just one out of every 5 games or whatever. Now they're all BMing and it is ruining the gaming experience for me to be honest.

PLEASE FIX YOUR FUCKING ANIMATIONS BLIZZARD.

It is really not fun having the animations go on forever deep into my turn! and with the amount of cards that classes play a turn it is really becoming a problem and killing my enjoyment of the game. It is not fun to waste half your turn for no good reason and  watching your opponent play a milion fucking cards. 

So I was playing HS on mobile (bad idea, I know) and then played coin into end turn by accident :D

Just remove the fucking Demon Seed from the game and admit it was a mistakes

everyone and their grandmother playing quess what.....quest mage or warlock. What a wonderful joy.......NOT

3 Arena runs, three unimaginably shitty drafts in a row and opponents with multiple legendaries and broken cards in their decks.

I feel like I'm edging closer and closer to just quitting this game. Standard meta is as shitty as I've ever seen, and now I can't even enjoy the other modes the game has to offer.

Thanks Blizz, now even Priest has a fucking aggro deck.

Why do people play aggro even in casual?

At this rate, I will start playing aggresive solitaire to have fun...

I thought I would take a quick 5:th ranked win for the weekly quest before some more relaxing console gaming yesterday night. Odd questline Hunter in wild would do the job quickly, I though. 4-5 straight losses and some embarassing misplays later I don't like that deck anymore.

How about keeping a discovered Pressure Plate in hand the turn before APM mage hit the combo for lethal? Or being greedy with Rhok'delar (from Lock and Load) vs Renomage and waiting for my minion the be drawn instead of using avaible mana for 4 + 4 face damage? I still would have won if I had drawn Flare but no no no.

Ranked mode is genuinely god-awful now. I fucking hate this meta-game so muc

There has been a few instances where I would just fuck it all and uninstall Hearthstone. Fucking DCs and animation lag even tho I had GTX 1660TI.

I guess rage quit is enough for today. Just wait Hearthstone. Keep getting worse now. Any day now. Any day.

This may be the least enjoyable meta I've played in (have since WotOG), and there have been some bad ones!
Quest mage and warlock stinky

Sigh,  I genuinely don't ever post in salt threads. But I think if I'm being truly honest, this is by far the least fun I've ever had in a meta, both as playing as classes and against others.

The only class I can even markedly climb with and enjoy on some small scale is quest shaman.  And even then most wins feel shallow and contrived.  But then I look at most of the decks I face and realize they are equally as shallow.

Anacondra/Celestial Druid's who just vomit out cards and pray to RNG that their fungal fortunes doesn't discard any of their key cards. (literally if it does, they just instantly concede, because why build a "fair" deck when you can build a broken deck that has 0 comeback potential for your opponent, and if you fungal discard your key minions, just insta-concede and try again!)

Quest Warlock, which after the SECOND round of nerfs is still strong and ridiculous.  They keep nerfing other cards, instead of the core of the problem.  Which if you'll pardon my language IS THE FUCKING QUEST.  

I seriously have not disliked a meta as much since probably Jade Druid.  Or maybe Rastakhan's rumble.  But seriously this current meta is the most polarizing meta ever.  And I honestly feel like if mercenaries and/or the next expansion falls flat I'm done with Blizzard.  (Considering that I've been playing Blizzard games for over 25 years now, it's almost sad, but also considering that their company has changed drastically I think it's time the king was dethroned...)

I wanted to try out Raid the Docks Questline Warrior after seeing Kibler pilot it with some (probably limited) success. I didn't expect much, but it was a change of pace from slamming the same deck for two months.

Two Questline Warlocks and two Control Priests later, and I rage quit. I even managed to complete the quest into a coin + Mindrender Illucia for the instaloss, just to salt the wound. A serious misplay, to be sure, but dammmit. Daaaamit. 

I am so pissed off that Questline Mage is still alive. I hope Blizzard stomps this stupid deck to the ground in the next round of nerfs.

QUESTLINE MAGE IS FOR LOSERS. LOSERSSSSSS

Yesterday I had the Quests to win in ranked, play as Warrior, deal 200 damage to Heroes and to complete Stormwind quest lines. So I thought I could to it all in once with QL Warrior and try to get the "attack with Pirates" achievement on the go. It's not good in Standard so I switched to Wild an finally decided to craft Patches!

Ok, so after the start of the first game I noticed that I net decked the wrong deck :D It had no Quest... I won the game surprisingly. Then I queued with the correct deck. Other then the Celestial Druid I met in the first game it performed as expected 

So what brings me to this thread? The fact that I drew Patches in each of the first three games from the top turn 1!

I am so fucking tired of losing to Miracle Mind Tether Priest in Duels.

That strategy singlehandedly negates any kind of non-burn-centric strategy, making it impossible to have a reasonable run with nothing that isn't a meta deck.

Seriously, fuck that deck.

Seriously, fuck that deck.

Yea, I really dislike mind tether.  Granted as # of games goes up, the efficacy of the deck goes down, but those first 1-4 games against any Mind Tether priest are generally unfun as you most likely will lose barring hail mary armor/health gains.  (Consequently, I've stolen a few wins from Mind Tether priests by playing quest shaman in duels, and building my starting deck with Healing Rain.  It's a lovely card to use alone, or after quest (For double the healing fun!) to help stall the game into a winning scenario.

I just started a Shaman run and I took your suggestion: I hope Healing Rain will give me some chances in the early matches.

I absolutely hate this meta right now. I HATE IT. Here are the decks I've been facing all day:

Questline Mage

Questline Warlock

Celestial Druid

Questline Shaman

ALL of them can kill you in a single turn. ALL of them. So what, I have to play hyper aggro every single time now? Is that it? It's NOT FUN, and it's NOT FUNNY ANYMORE.  

I really, really wish the devs have a bad day today. They destroyed this game, those morons. 

Why do rogues always fucking rope. Oh right because their animations are slow as fuck and they play 128030123981 cards a turn

Came back to complete quests for the first time in a while and remembered why I stopped playing. Literally 0 deck diversity in the meta.

Also fuck the questlines. Who looked at Hearthstone and said that some horrifying abomination of control-combo-big-aggro deck should exist. It’s just go face or bust, no slower strategies are allowed to win anymore. I fucking hate it

Honestly, once HS finally shuts down I’ll finally be able to get some closure on the incompetent Hearthstone team

Im not mad about the stormwind quests to be honest.

But really, fuck that bs quest that is Sorcerer's Gambit. Just delete this from the game. I dont care what the win rate is, because this deck is unbeatable if you have no burn, and if you are even for a second depending on your minions to do damage.

Mage deserves better than this crap design.

im just gonna say i would kill to live in a world where questline mage is unbeatable without burn

Can Blizzard just drop the new patch already so I don't have to look at that fucking leapfrogger animation for 30 minutes every game because every tryhard and their mother forces this stupidly broken build?

I generally dislike posting on this thread, but i really have to let off some steam. I played 10 ladder games in a row, ALL of them against Sorcerer's Gambit mage. Tried to play around them, because i know that Sorcerer's Gambit mage often run 2 copies of Ice Barrier, and Brain Freeze. But apparantly ALL of them also included 1 copy of Oasis Ally. I didn't play minions and didn't SMOrc face because i wanted to stall and Mutanus the Devourer their quest reward. Guess what? ALL of them played Primordial Studies into Brain Freeze and played their questline reward before i could Mutanus the Devourer it. Every. Single. Game.

Against that... unfun deck i try to play around the frost spells and delay their questline as long as possible, but i guess it was BOLD of me to ASSUME that any of my plays even mattered against a solitaire deck. What a lot of fun, i wish i was playing against The Demon Seed warlock in WILD instead. Actually i bet playing against ress/big priest is a ton of fun compared to this.

Btw when i decided to play a deck that actually counters Sorcerer's Gambit mage, guess what. Never found one again. And the second i go back to a deck thats weak to it, guess what. Another 5 Sorcerer's Gambit mages IN A ROW. :(

I cant't connect now because I'm joining in mobile. I can't update...

ive played on and off since beta, continuously since whispers, and i can say without a shadow of a doubt that odd questline hunter is the most brainless and cheap deck i have ever played against. sure, ive hated plenty of decks over the years, but even something as horribly oppressive as questlinelock or eater of souls at least took some amount of skill to execute.

ive never seen a competitive viable deck that is so mind-numbingly easy to rob games with, to the point where i legitimately think that if you got to legend with odd hunter that you dont deserve to be there. everyone else thats worked their asses off to climb their way up to legend now has to worry about losing games by complete chance because we matched into some drooling brainlet playing solitaire while the rest of us play hearthstone. you did not earn your legend rank because you werent even playing hearthstone, you were playing cookie clicker and making the game less enjoyable for everyone else. people that play this bullshit dont care about having a healthy meta, or earning the rank they get, or getting better at the game, or using any brain power whatsoever when they play; they just care about seeing their number go up regardless of whether or not they worked at all to get it there. hearthstone might as well be an idle game to these fucks.

wild is a place where "unfair" decks are allowed to flourish, and i think thats fine as long as those decks require skill to be able to pilot (e.g. exodia mage, turtle mage, darkglarelock etc.). however, when the most unfair deck in the meta is also the single easiest deck to pilot in the history of the game, theres a problem.

on top of this, hunter as a class has been forced into face/aggro hunter lists (that are also god awful to play against but are nowhere near as unfair) in standard for ages since blizzard wont print anything good enough for other potential archetypes to be viable. so what do they do? they print Defend the Dwarven District, the single most powerful face hunter card in the history of the game so now both standard AND wild are completely polluted with this shit. i remember when hunter had interesting things they could do, whether it be the highlander hunter decks from not too long ago with Dinotamer Brann or the spell-based hunter decks with Zul'jin. i remember when id see new cards revealed for hunter and be excited, not angry that i have new god awful card design to play against. whoever is in charge of designing cards for this class absolutely NEEDS to be fired.

So ever since the most recent BG's patch hit I've been much more unlucky in my games than before. In my last game I was finally having a lucky game again and was setting up a very promising endgame dragon build, only to die because I lost two rounds in which I had a 1.2% and then a 4.5% chance to lose... The probability of that happening is 0.054%.

I know this is a high-variance game mode but it's really starting to feel like this game just doesn't want me to have fun anymore...

Blizzard, you should be fucking embarrassed by the state your game is in.

Just got dumped by Blizzard's shitty server when about to win a game. Fucking shit company.

So, I had Augmented Elekk on the board and traded in Persistent Peddler into my deck with only one card. It generated a new one. However, the generated Persistent Peddler, when traded into the deck, doesn't keep generating cards despite it being a card shuffled into the deck, meaning Augmented Elekk's effect, which was still in play, didn't even trigger.

It's bad enough that I have to hunt achievements in Wild ranked instead of casual play despite the fact that HUNTING ACHIEVEMENTS IS THE DEFINITION OF CASUAL PLAY, I can't even do it properly because the game has more spaghetti than all of fucking Italy.

#Arena, where skill matters

Another arena rant.  Battleground battlemaster should not be draftable in arena.  Seriously, I hate that if you don't play around ANY mid game minion, it can in some ways immediately end the match.  

IMO the card shouldn't have been printed at all in the first place, especially not as a persistent effect.

Why is it that EVERY single time I am thinking on my turn and have a minion ready to attack but of course im not gonna cuz it's a bad trade (eg they have a big taunt) my opponent has to highlight it in an attempt to try to persuade me to?

I don't barge into your house and start touching your pets family or houseplants. Please afford me the same respect. Thank you in advance.

Its a duel card

Oh, yes in that case it is kind of bs.  However, the issue is not the card but rather Mind Tether passive combined with fireshaper.  The card in a vacuum is a perfectly fine control/removal card.  The card combined with all the other stuff in duels creates early games that are nearly unwinnable.  It sucks the longer runs go on though due to deck dilution.

A shaman just played 76 cards, he "randomly" discovered, against me in a single game. Yeah sure, thanks for nothing.

From what I've seen so far, people don't want to play with the new cards. Haven't seen anybody use them.

Played a few games after opening my packs. Tried out Freeze Shaman, Big DH and Beast Druid... my opponents were old Quest Mage (no new cards), Aggro Druid (no new cards) and Control Priest (no new cards).  Fun! 

Played 5 games this morning to complete quests and went 0-5 against exclusively Quest Mage and Pirate Warrior, yet again not a single new card detected in any of the games. 

Mercenaries is the only gamemode in this game i enjoy, but it is such a SLOG.

I have had a fully maxed out team before leaving the first area. And now i am full of a lot of "now what" energy. 

Spoiler: the game is not "fun and interactive" anymore if your opponent playing Irondeep Trogg on turn 1 makes you concede instantly.

Who thought that these new 3/3 Imps should ALWAYS be drawn first ahead of any other card once they're shuffled into the deck? Can't they behave like other shuffled cards?

If you're talking about Duels' Imp-credible Trousers, it's a known bug. They haven't disabled the Passive, but the hope is that they'll fix it before the winter holidays.

If you're talking about constructed... well, sorry for your incredibly bad luck!

Was talking about Trousers indeed.

So I play against rogue, who is randomly getting Greyborough. After working my way through this one and two more from this wonderful „Replay all cards you ever played from another class in your life“(!!!) we finally go into fatigue (both). I‘m way ahead and we are just two turns away from my win. The rogue suddenly discovers Devolving missiles and turns one my creeps into Cornelius Roame. He killed me in two remaining turns while drawing fatigue like crazy. Thank you RNGesus. Truly ever in my favor

I missed the update where you are being forced to play exclusively Rogue after you aquire Legendary rank. Seriously, is there anyone in Standard Legendary NOT playing rogue?

very weird, while in my case, it was like 7 out of 10 games with Pirates Warrior. And trust me when I say I had enough, so I went full Freeze Shaman to counter it. Maybe next season climb I get to face more Rogue then.
