...so does it win games, or...?

Drain Soul is happy again.

I left a quote reply on the twitch drop thread, went down the bottom and clicked leave reply. It just said Missing Body, but there was no textbox to fill in.

Going to try again on this thread.

Its kinda hard to understand why WoW wouldn't just go full on ftp or at least pay once and just gain additional money off the microtransactions. Back in the day WoW was revolutionary for being one of the few actual MMos available that is both popular and well designed. Nowadays there simply so many more games doing the same, not many can stomach the subscription fees anymore, especially given that the game is fairly repetitive.

Oh well, at least its not as crazy as EVE online, which is at the apex of being games as a second job that you pay to work for.

Either way, that video just comes across as sentimental rather than trying to expose blizz as a company fueled by greed. Unless blizz starts revolutionizing its game tech again, its unlikely to ever recapture what WoW did in the past, not least because of the subscription model.

Changed text of the riddle. Also there is a bigger hint in the other hint.

I don’t think it’s a “WoW is so bad they keep losing subscribers. (X) expansion is bad. Blizzard is greedy and doesn’t care about its players. Dead game LUL.” situation with WoW. I think people have either just moved on or just don’t like the game enough to keep playing it so much.

Most former players (myself included) realized that WoW is a game designed to keep you playing. Expansion comes out, therefore I must get gear in order to raid, patch comes out, not I must gear again, and so on and so forth. You could compare this to Guild Wars 2, but it doesn’t require 15 dollars a month to play it. So instead of staying in the loop most of us got out.

There’re also many instances where the community doesn’t care about its non-hardcore players. I’ve hopped back in a time or two and end up not playing much because either in PVP or Dungeon Finder people are pissy because you don’t know how to play anymore. Then to avoid that toxicity players could always just quest but that’s boring as hell on its own also.

Finally, WoW is almost 20 years old, it’s been updated and expanded upon but games are getting better in general. Some free to play such as Fortnite and Rainbow Six Siege and some games where you just invest 20$ on a sale and get something along the lines of The Witcher 3, Prey, Borderlands, or Dishonored. At this point you could get a hell of a game for around 20 bucks compared to paying 15 monthly for the same experience.

This isn't aimed at you, well none of that was, but Carbot's animation about WoW is kind of disingenuous.

• Did Blizzard become greedy? Yes...... but so has every other big name game dev.
• Is WoW less fun? That's subjective and obviously there are enough people playing it for its continued support.
• Would WoW lose players if every bad decision made about it were reverted? Yes, there are better games out there that don't require as much money.

This is the first deck I fell in love with after I started playing Runeterra about 3 months ago. Every game is different because your wincondition heavily depends on the deck of your opponent. Lately I also started playing Zoe/Vi which feels the same for me, every matchup feels winable. I like to play against it too, which can't be said about decks like azir/irelia and watcher combo.

Took both Ezreal/Draven and Zoe/Vi (with Ashe Noxus) to the seasonal tournament today and got to 6-3 which exceeded my expectations. :)

Are there other decks out there who are comparable in playstyle to these two? I don't care if they are a bit worse or offmeta.

Fuck priest. 

I think we are confused about the line: Combustion can to kill full hall. im not sure what to make of it

Nope. Its a spell that summon.

Ideal to watch during breakfast!

Check out the newest animation video from Carbot.

You know things have gotten bad for Blizzard when this hit the nail pretty good.

Colossus of the Moon?

Not that way. Last line is the main (but anything can lead you to the answer). Answer is not fire related btw.

Its kinda sad but yet again we see that nearly everyone is bringing priest so the mandatory rush warrior is required as well, because nearly everyone will be banning priest. Which leads us to lifesteal dhunter and token druid bring because rogue and deathrattle dhunter are bad vs rush warrior.

Not alot of shaman, likely because of its linear gameplan which most pros tend to shirk away from. Which is baffling, because doomhammer shaman is legit. Maybe its the fear that face hunter will be everywhere.

So we're once again stuck with the same lineup before wailing caverns, despite shaman's top form. And at this point I can't really see anymore nerfs incoming unless Il'gynoth and Mindrender Illucia are being on the line. So guess its going to be quite a linear 2 months until the next expansion.

19th June update: Shudderwock Shaman: Navigating the Diamond Ladder vs Mages, Paladins & Warlocks!

5 wins and 2 losses with this Shudderwock Shaman deck, whilst traversing the diamond ladder. Any deck that can give me a positive win rate against Secrets Mage is a good deck in my opinion! The footage in the video was recorded before the Stealer of Souls ban went live.

Wohooo! Just got the First pack! In a couple of hours, I can close the muted stream that is behind other windows and never think about competitive HS until the next free packs... I mean tournament.

Got stomped by that Druid list and had no idea what the fuck that was even supposed to be.

After looking at the list I suspect I might have been highrolled into submission.

Alright, thanks for clarifying

Heard Gaby talking about his choice and why he made them, interesting points were :

1. It's too risky to target Priest because the decks that beat priest are not very stable in other match-ups
2. Therefore, priest ban was the most sensible way to go
3. In recent tournament, nobody made top 8 with original decks, at the end of the day the Priest/rush warrior/miracle rogue/lifesteal DH was the safest choice by far
4. Going the safe way and rely on your skill is a better choice than trying to find a surprise line-up that nobody thought of

I think it sums up what all pro players feel and why, whatever the meta, all tournaments are stacked with the same 4, sometimes 5 and very rarely 6 decks.

Paladin is at 49.3% ????

What a beautiful article! I haven't watched any Hearthstone eSports or played in tournaments in years, but I read through the whole bundle.
