At first glance a 2 mana mimik sounds sick but once you relize how clunky this card is you realize this card is more like a 3/2 vanilla with a huge upside in 1 out of 4 games.
The fact that you have to hit reputation AND have struck with an ally makes this only really good if you have strike spells like Bloody Business used and develop the the board before attacking.
And such a play is slow, clunky and hardly ever pulled off... 2/5
LeBlanc need to see 30 damage dealt to create a mediocre card...
Will probably get reworked after nobody will play her in a few months, don't care much I suck with LB in league and honestly I don't like the champion.
Stuff like this is what makes me wish there was a better way to see your opponent's cardbacks during a match. Maybe make it more like Runeterra, where your deck sits off to the side? That way you can see more of the cardbacks much clearer in game.
I think Zed is honestly still fine, it's just that his archetype just kinda sucks. Aggro Ionia and Ephemerals are just currently not a thing, unfortunately. Comparing him to LeBlanc would be fair but that depends a lot on how good this 5+ attack archetype is. I don't really see Sivir LeBlanc or Ashe LeBlanc working out too well right now. The current Freljord Overwhelm could slot her in but Draven is probably just better than LeBlanc overall, he's just really flexible and doesn't require as much commitment.
The price in combination with the awefull condition makes this a pretty bad card. Sure, sometimes you get it through but I think it is not much more than 50 % of times especially against something like frostbite so why run a 4 cost spell to do nothing reliably?
Blizzard really wants Priest to be the "meme class" but the problem is that with that hero power, that identity, and that focus... for real, it won't even be a class.
I feel very targeted by this nostalgia marketing. The sheer amount of time I've spent in the barrens both in 2004 and again in classic, as well as being die hard horde...oof dammit Blizzard ya got me (and I'm sure many others).
Oh yeah for sure. Being a 5/2 Quick Attack is good enough to make her work all on its own, even if she is easily removed. I do worry about her a little in regards to some comparisons though, like if you look at Zed there are a lot of similarities with her and he hasn't been at his best lately.
Aggro is definitely the biggest hurdle, and the deck(s) doesn't seem to pack too much healing. I'd imagine it loses against the strongest meta contenders but could become a solid option for laddering nevertheless.
I have reached Legend last season with Pure silver hand Paladin 63% win rate. With the new expansion and core set there is a strong change that "dudes Pally " will be a very strong deck.
I like the design as a whole, though I'm feeling unfortunately rather cynical about reputation. Hopefully it will be better than I feel it will be. I want it to succeed. As for Leblanc herself I like her a lot, though its mostly because her ability has interesting synergies. Not sure if it will be any good but definately gonna try her along side Lux.
Finally, another good minion for Big Demon Hunter. There could also be some combo potential here like others have already mentioned, with cards like Felosophy and Soul Split around.
Not sure how the DH class will look when some of the initiate cards rotate out, but I think this minion will see play.
Why is it that whenever I play again after taking a long break, I always get queued up against my chosen deck's worst matchup?
In this instance, I decide to play Big Warrior and my first three games are against Lifesteal OTK Demon Hunters, which I have no chance of beating with my slow deck. It's like the game is intentionally telling me to quit because it'll just give me misery.
Congraaats! :) So happy for you! I always love to read these posts. What was your free legendary? I´ve never been there yet, always up and down D3-D1 until I give up, but I´m gonna try to make the final push next month. GG WP!
Well, the legendary was Lorewalker Cho, not a great one, but I only lost 1 single game today, you can't have it all!
If I did it you can do it, too! It's a matter of time, if you reach Diamond 5 early enough you will achieve it!
I swear, the game always gives first-time legend players a crap legendary. Mine was Hogger :P
Anyway, congrats! The first time is always the most satisfying.
Seems sorta neat. Though this feels like a win more card. "Oh my gosh I got a leveled Darius!" I mean that's great but you have a leveled Darius and you've managed to have him stick around long enough to strike...so you're likely about to win or have already.
Edit: Perhaps I'm being too harsh on this card? If it wasn't an acceptable (if only just) two drop then maybe I'd be right. Its at least able to hold the board if its effect can't trigger.
One of the few reputation cards that is unable to be bad. If it is played for 4 then its just Salvage without the toss effect, which no one cares about unless they are a deep deck. If it is played for 2 then it is even better.
I like the idea, but I feel like at 3 mana you won't be able to slot this in when you need it, and getting it to 1 mana once again might just be too awkward. A lot of the issue I see with reputation is the fact that these cards seem good when the requirement is met, and utterly unusable when it isn't met.
Could be good maybe...on one hand its a one sided strike that cost 4, which is fine all things considered. On the other hand a lot of these early game 5 attack units have super low health, and will easily be kill when this is attempted. I feel like this will still be fine even outside of these 5 attack things just as a reliable removal tool, but it might be more likely to see this in the mid game with things like Darius. Whether I'm wrong or not I don't see this as something that won't find some useful spot.
