I'm so annoyed with the way constructed quests work. Let's say I'm playing and losing badly in turn 6. The opponent has a full board and almost lethal. Let's say it's a shaman so he has like 5 things in hand to get lethal.
The normal thing to do would be to concede, but I can't because I have a 'play x games with mage' quest. The opponent of course wonders why I didn't concede, but pressed End Turn instead and thinks well, let's continue this game for a pretty long time before I kill you. Makes sense right, that is what I used to do before I realized these stupid quests make this behaviour happen.
The meta is very fast at the moment, but it does go through different phases. Many still shudder at the Aphelios days of infinite heal and card generation.
Hit 55 this morning (own Tavern Pass). Had a full set of quests ready when expansion dropped. 29% done with Stormwind achievements. Been messing around at Diamond 5 for a few days now with some meme-ish decks to get some achievements. The Demon Hunter Lion's Frenzy was a fun one. Rat King...not so much.
Thanks! Since there is still plenty of time to test this unconfirmed theory, I will now open a new browser and leave it open as the only active tab in the background and keep it unmuted. I did not have it muted prior by the way.
There's this weird theory (unconfirmed) that the stream have to be open and active, meaning you cant just leave it in one tab and work on another. Just for added good measure, dont mute youtube, mute the browser instead.
I personally watch on and off, got my pack. 2 more hours to go.
I have the stream opened in 1 of my browser tabs since the stream started (showed the countdown initially) and no free pack has arrived yet in-game. I guess it does not happen for everyone simultaneously. I am in EU region by the way (added remark for comparison).
-Your right were going to get the big gun version of Senna (The Senna we currently have is a follower the one that's going to get released is a champion).
-Since Noxus is all about dishing a much damage as possible I think that Sion is going to be a big overwhelm unit.
-Mono Shurima is going to need more than just a good champion to be good. They need more cards like buried sun disc, cards that have a powerful secondary effect that activate if all your cards are Shuriman.
Does anyone know (or remember) whether the free pack drops are distributed right after watching the HS streams every 2 hours? I honestly cannot remember how it went with previous GM seasons. I know that Twitch drops are distributed immediately after claiming them.
EDIT: After reading the old comments of the referenced thread, it seems that the Youtube drops are NOT distributed immediately. Bummer!
This is maybe pretty obvious, but a decent way to get Join the Dark Side if you don't have Darkbishop Benedictus is to play Duels with the Mind Tether hero power. Obviously you can also just play Shadowform in a typical Priest deck, but that's much slower since you have to draw the spell before you can make progress.
You sure that your A.sol had 10 health? Because The Dreadway double all the damage including the one dealt by units, so instead of just taken 4 damage your A.Sol would have taken 8 damage which would have killed it. If not then it's probably a bug.
They should give us golden bundles earlier.. I bought both preorder bundles and use my gold to buy 70 more packs. With 3 legendaries from rewards track I complete everything. Now even i want to buy golden packs i wont. Just give us golden preorder bundle who wants golden packs. Also this way we can open guaranteed golden legendary first 10 packs too. I dont wanna buy golden bundles after i complete my normal set. 20 golden packs and 2 random golden legendary would be nice for 3rd preorder option.
A Hexcore Foundry on the board already activates this card to deal 3 to a unit. If you're in puffcaps, you'll want ways to remove units, since your wincon is puffcaps to the face, and that takes some time to accomplish.
I'd say this card is significantly better than people are giving it credit for.
Well so far im Level 44 (with Tavern Pass) - most of the time messing around with different builds. The most fun so far i had with Guff Druid - and also quite surprisingly (at least for me) with Questline Paladin.
Is there a glitch allowing for instant kills. In a round I attacked with an 10/10 Aurelian Sol. It was blocked by a 4/6 Dreadway, and rather than eating it, it killed both. Later I blocked a 2/1 with a 9/5 Infinite Mindsplitter, and both died. Has anyone else had that happen?

You can actually quantify how bugged The Brave and the Bolner achievement really is by revisiting it after completion:
This would paint a picture of a seriously aggressive grind if not for the serendipitous bug 🤣
