See a lot of variety in deck types in silver. When Echo gets two chornobreaks off in one round it sure feels like bullshit but it doesn’t happen every time I see him. Feels so much better than playing Az / Ire every other game even though I made it to platinum last season playing against Az / Ire every game is boring AF
You’re thinking that you can summon the Warlord’s Palace early, and then only play Akshan when it’s time for the countdown to complete? That does sound pretty nice. I think he’ll be viable even without that trick, as the Palace will count down quickly with the right cards, but this is even better.
(Based on the wording of Akshan’s card, it doesn’t even sound like he has to see the Palace finish its countdown. As long as a countdown has finished, you may be able to play him and level up immediately.)
That was a bit underwhelming. I played against someone who just wanted to kill me, so I killed him ;) and then I found out I already had 90 kills from earlier.
@IksarHS Kind of conspiracy here. Did Dev team had financial issue in their mind when you designed Tickatus? Warlock is weak class right now but if control decks ever dominate Tickatus and Warlock will be huge gatekeeper it seems.
I am not going to lie, this is the worst conspiracy I have ever read.
While HS2 seems less plausible to me, OW2 has always been inevitable. The game can only live on skins for so long and you don't even have to pay actual money for them. I still play the game and recently squires every event skin and classic skin in the the game, all without paying a dime.
When they weren't working on OW2, they gave new characters and maps for free. They still do content and balance updates. The game needs to make money, that's just the way of business. I'll gladly pay for an OW2, so long as they don't start charging for the things they have always been giving away for free.
I think i found a little bug, when mini-rag hit a Eternium Rover and trigger its effect, somehow mini-rag would end his incineration and immediately switch side.
The sentiment that I get from most player is that this meta is significant improvement over the last ones, that no achievement given how bad the last ones were but progress is always welcome.
Heres my initial idea for this week, tapping into arcane mage as a controlling archetype, inspired by Kharazan:
I'm also tempted by a version that summons 1/1 Skeletons/Ghosts with Arcane Spell Damage +1 for less control-oriented design. What are everyones thoughts? I'll try to provide feedback later as I'm posting at midnight.
I genuinely laughed reading that. I agree that if they do come out with a sequel it shouldn't break the cozy feeling by just tacking on a number at the end.
I seriously don't know what your problem is or why you're so angry, but you should consider in the future being less vocal about your opinions when they are unfounded in reality and misinformed.
Games do have sequels. While some games may lend themselves to being less of a sequential type of format (i.e. WoW) they do suffer from what is known as feature bloat and coding issues. My fiance and I (who both work in the software industry, not games though...actual productive software) call it the "bathtub effect". If you look at the shape of a bathtub it slopes downward, has a smooth level plateau at the bottom, and then curves rapidly up again. Sloping downward represents the initial public release of a software with a high amount of bugs/issues, that usually get quickly resolved. Then the software stabilizes, goes through revisions and such for awhile and is what you call "stable". Finally, as the software nears it's end of life, the amount of bugs/issues rapidly increase again. When it reaches that area, it's often time to create a brand new piece of software from the ground up (i.e. HS2, Overwatch 2, etc}
Trying to revamp and clean up existing code without starting from the ground up can often be an extremely daunting task. It's usually far easier to just release a new "sequel" to your existing software. This also has the benefit of allowing developers to cull largely unused features or to add features or quality of life adjustments that they've wanted to add but couldn't for whatever reason.
Anyhow, that's all to say that software is software, it doesn't matter if it's game or not, they are treated the same by programmers and developers and the such.
The only thing better than when you get Legend with an off meta list you built is when someone else does it, and today someone from my ingame hs friend list managed to get it starting from below Diamond a few days ago using solely that list. Feels so good.
And another person also got legend, so now 3 ppl have done it. Most successful deck I've made in the past year, very happy.
Lol, HS 2. what a stupid concept just like Overwatch 2. Its like they never studied marketing. big live service games arent games to have sequels, but instead should be treated as a brand of its own. you dont get a Mercedes 2, or a Nike 2 or a CSGO 2.
This games should evolve. wanna do a visual overhaul? go right ahead update with a new full patch. In fact some time ago they said Overwatch would receive a new update so damn big that people would need to unistall the game first. guess they scratched that and decided for an Overwatch 2 .
i just dont agree tho i know people would still play OW1 within OW2 and same for HS 2 in case that comes to existence

Eh, just buy a tavern pass, play a lot, don't buy packs for money. It's not that hard and it's 20 europe bucks.
Budget option: don't buy a tavern pass and play more.

I don't know why you get downvoted so much. Since HS is free (initially) its seems indeed pretty pointless to bring out HS2.

From a pure static point of view the meta does look healthy :

That feeling when CSGO is already a sequel to Counter-Strike Source, which is a sequel to Condition Zero, which is a sequel to the original game...
Also, most games have numbered sequels? Warcraft III? StarCraft II? Diablo III? Like, what the hell are you talking about?
