This probably needs some fine tuning, but I'm definitely gonna go full Shadow Priest this week. Priest needs a replacement for Shadow Word: Horror in standard, so this is my first idea.
Edit: Had another idea. Which one do you think is better?
It is almost always among the top meta decks, but - if I remember correctly - never in leading position (unlike, for example, pre-nerf Fiora Shen Mid, R.I.P.).
It's skill ceiling is relatively high, probably that's why it's popularity isn't outstanding (outside of Masters, for sure).
And except some Tri-beam Improbulator shenanigans, personally, I don't find it annoying. It has really efficent removals/burn, and plays mostly reactive, but still needs board development, so it isn't that one dimensional to play with/against it.
Indeed, in this highly polarising meta, it's the most well rounded deck of all, it can go head to head against almost everything. I'm currently learning to pilot it well. ;)
I just meant that absolutely nobody talks about it. It's performing exceptionally well in the meta but nobody complains about it despite its relatively high power level.
That struck me as interesting...or at least what passes for interesting while we play the never ending waiting game.
Where are all the BG players at?? OoC is such a graveyard
I am here! 😏
Unfortunately I haven't played HS since the miniset went live, because I'm sick of the randomness and crazy damage and inconsistency in all of its formats. Don't get me wrong, i don't play the game often at all, and i do prefer BGs.
Take a look for yourself Ezreal Draven either flat out beat or go 50/50 with every single deck that isn't freijord/shadow where they are grosly disfavored.
Good observation, reconnecting DOES seem to take a bit longer when they occur these days. If they happen at the latter part of your turn, there is indeed insufficient time to reconnect and still finish your own turn (which would suck). A feature like receiving some grace time would be great, but wishful thinking since it has probably close to zero priority for Team 5.
At least, there is sufficient time to reconnect and still play out your own turn.
That used to be the case when my disconnects-reconnects would flash away and waste but 5 seconds of my time. Now its simply just dumping me back around 1 minute after disconnecting me, which obviously means I would have missed a turn.
It might be preferable to give an additional grace 10 seconds to the player whenever blizz detects a disconnect, but with so many rage quiting happening in hearthstone, I doubt there would ever be enough support to push them towards this.
I didn't have any trouble over the weekend. Admittedly I was barely on yesterday so I wouldn't count that as evidence, but I did spend quite a while finishing up achievements on Saturday, which included a bunch of long games (no small thanks to Kresh, Lord of Turtling being in the bottom 10 cards every game...).
I have experienced more disconnects the past few patches than all the years prior combined. Of course, I remember the ones where I was in winning position better than otherwise. Luckily for me, none of these resulted in losses so far.
I was always in favor of reducing the turn time limit even further, but since these disconnects are still occurring and frequently also, I am fine with the turn time limit as it is right now. At least, there is sufficient time to reconnect and still play out your own turn.
So its been two days now that I've experienced constant disconnects mid-game, usually around 5-8 minutes in (and almost always when Im in a good position to win). Coincidentally this is all happening a few days after being told that blizzard is moving towards this cross-region bollocks, which I'm fairly sure when implemented will break the game if not the servers.
Have anyone else been experiencing this? Its getting to the point that I might have to start switching to hyper aggro decks just so this bs doesn't keep losing me the game because Im forced to skip a turn from this constant irritation.
And no, I'm nearly 100% certain this has nothing to do with my machine or internet providers, because I'm still able to surf the net while this is happening, and I haven't recently made any new installations or updates that may screw with my system. Whenever I get disconnected, I would flip the battlenet interface on and can see that my account is 'connecting' and all their ads are missing, which is a sign that it might be something to do with their servers.

Wow, anchorm4n, I swear I didn't see your cards before making mines, but they both go the same route (even if the execution isn't exactly the same).
EDIT: Changed the cards because previous wording was confusing.

Hmmm, ok you talked me into to it. Or at least my browser :P

Secretly? Ezreal/Draven have been a top tier deck since the days of TF/Go Hard.

Reworked some cards, put in giant collage images instead of each card 1 by 1 (cause i'm lazy) and also managed to break the site!

Ezreal Draven - Secretly Amazing?
We spend a lot of time talking about the sensational decks in LOR with amazingly fast win conditions or slower insta wins.
But what about the decks that don't do anything amazingly well but just happen to have strong matchup tables against almost everything?

Thats actually secretly amazing!!!
What do you guys think?
How does the Recent Threads feature work?
We will probably never find the answer, but I wonder what could possess an individual to spam on this community site.
If it is a bot however, I can imagine it is just a reusable piece of software (script) which can randomly attack any website where posts are allowed.

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