I feel like it is absurdly late to make a pokemon go pack lmao 

Quote From Nifty129

It is totally normal patch cadence which is to say they can patch what they want when they want.

Pretty sure the Braum overall was pre expansion and that literally changed how that character played.

Instead we got a Kindred mana reduction, pretty nice but not exactly game changing.

Its usually more exciting when they say reduced the number of jarvan strikes from 4 to 3 or if they had undone the nerf on TF to make him level able again.

But I'm not gonna spend all night going over why Champs are bad again, and how they could be better. Because those changes won't get made as long as people think that flipping as a lose condition is unacceptable in a game about leveling Champs.

How is any of this related to patch timing? I mean, yeah, plenty of champions are weak/unplayable. But it's literally impossible to have all of the champions be in the meta. No matter how well they balance champions, there will always be some that are stronger and some that are weaker. It's completely unavoidable. The ones that are stronger will be meta and the others won't.

So maybe you buff the weaker ones, making them become stronger. Well, now those buffed champs probably become the new meta, while the previously stronger champs drop out of the meta. 

So, do you then buff the champs that dropped out of the meta to make them stronger again? Yes?

Great, now they take over the meta again and the other champs get knocked out of the meta ... I think you can see where this is going. I'll say it again - no matter how close to balanced all of the champions are, some of them will always be stronger than the others, even if it isn't by much. And the nature of a competitive game is that the strongest champions are the ones that become meta.

Side note: the current meta is mostly champion-focused decks. Even if you're using the mobalytics tier list (which I do NOT recommend), 12 out of their 15 meta decks are champion focused. The only ones that aren't are Pirates, Poros, and Spiders.

Damn, that seductive look on Elise got me spending money on this game again

its because you revived a post from before the spell schools were added.

I didn't realize that, it was literally in the "Recent Post" list on the main page.

Should at least let us know what deck you're playing in standard.

If youre playing aggro/beast druid then you should have absolutely little problems getting a win percentage above 50%, especially in lower levels.

Admitably, Im getting a bit pissed facing druids right now because its impossible to guess whether its aggro or ramp druid and a wrong mulligan will be completely ruinous given how polar opposites both decks are. But its so far been an okay experience in standard.

I remember enjoying Kobolds the most. It was awesome to see HS pay respects to D&D which it is heavily influenced by and the original Dungeon Runs were so addictive.

Song of course goes to SoU, theyll never top that hit XD

Battlegrounds rushes out a hotfix and doesnt bother to buff a few champs i like that are total dogshit in the buddy meta (Pyramad, Guff, etc). Sigh....

Maiev with her face uncovered just never feels right for me. Also, isn't that technically a glaive, its no dagger for sure.

this post get bumped to the top he didnt revive it, i was going to comment on it but forgot XD

It turns out that every time I enter normal games both in casual and ranked when I put him to play during the wheel / roulette looking for a worthy opponent when I find a game I get a black bar with a percentage of 0% and the game stays like this forever giving the opponent a win doesn't even let me do anything but watch the wheel spin forever.

Ok I am not a good player per se. I play meme decks for achievements. But I can't win a single game at Bronce 8 and 3 stars! This is not normal. 

Edit: no problems in Wild though. I get to at least platin whitout efford. Which is suffixient for me.

Super unpopular opinion, but my favourite expansion is The Witchwood. I just love the flavour of the set, and I honestly did enjoy the meta at the time even if it got old very quickly. For the first time since I started playing Hearthstone all the way back in open beta, I actually made an effort to rank up. I found a deck that was both enjoyable for me and mildly competitive (my favourite kind of competitive) - Big Deathrattle Hunter with Kathrena Winterwisp, Carnivorous Cube, and Play Dead to cheat out King Krush and Charged Devilsaur for lethals. That was a good time.

EDIT: As for favourite songs: The Witchwood is also my favourite expansion song, because I love that Disney feel. For the same reason, I adore the Mercenaries trailer. Saviors of Uldum is also just fantastic with those high notes, ho-lee. This isn't a song, but I also love the KotFT trailer. I wish Hearthstone did more sets with that kind of gravitas.

Did you copy the wrong deck in for the Pantheon and Shyvana one? 

They actually are already Holy spells in the game.  The images may not have been updated on the site when spell schools were added.

EDIT: Actually they are updated on the site.  Not sure where you're images came from.  Libram of Hope, Libram of Justice, Libram of Wisdom.

I have been mostly playing Taliyah/Ziggs and Fizz/Lulu. Ahri/Kennen aside they tend to perform well against most of the meta. Jayce/Lux is also a deck that I enjoy but I haven't much success with it because it struggle greatly against aggro.

So, there's no actual cute paladin women here. I've been catfished.

Altogether now moving to pool 2 is a little strange, given that its not really that good ever since the last nerf. In many cases, its just permitting you to put down big threats a turn earlier, a not insignificant thing for sure but compared to other pool 2 passives, it'll only ever be chosen because the other stuff are crap.

One way this might turn out as a buff is in dragon priest since you can now choose dragon affinity in pool 1 and altogether now in pool 2 for a massive 3 mana reduction (most dragons have battlecries) and that's about it.

As for battle totem and totem of the dead, its a fine change, but Im not a fan of it. Certainly people build their decks to get a chance at a good passive, and now one of the few better ones is directly competing with broken stuff like shadowcasting 101 and stargazing. Its just incredible. Almost seems like team5 is trying to make duels less about big turns and more about who has the least shittiest buckets/passives throughout.

In terms of story, it has to be Barrens - Alterac. Its not really because its story is top notch, pulitzer prize material, but because its one of the few that actually attempted a story and pulled it off decently. The only other 3 expansion-long storyline is from RoS - DoD, and honestly the plot there is riddled with holes and poor execution. So within its merits, the merc story is going well (given how the recent Tavish storyline went), but certainly lots of room for improvement.

In terms of soundtrack, there can be no better than RoS. The song really clicks, with that cheesy over-the-top theme, of which I really enjoyed. Other soundtracks worth a mention: Boomsday, K&C, and Naxx.

This deck is bullshit. Totally useless. For example that quest is useless. Play this deck against Mage. You definitely will lose. because it needs your opponent play minion. What a stupid deck really.
