Taking a break from Hearthstone only to get 200 years'd in League? Man you sure picked a great destination for your vacation, huh?
Like others said, you didn't miss much. Standard has been Illidan all around despite multiple nerf waves (with another one inbound this week) and no new real interesting decks popped up either.
Just some Battlegrounds and PvE stuff if you're interested in that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't blizzard say there is going to be a new tribe for expansion 2? Considering this is a necromancy school, perhaps undead?
saw the Pirates, ended up watching a bit of Trump only to realize that Battlegrounds is still a shitshow.
Still unspoiled on the whole Outland story so I think I might be doing that for the next few days. Are there any rewards for that?
Pretty much doing the Challenges nets you a Golden Kael'thas Sunstrider. Otherwise, the story is pretty alright. I don't believe there are any other rewards aside from maybe a card back?
In every way possible, yeah. New keywords and mechanics that were either completely useless or completely broken on a case-by-case basis, and other cards that didn't use those mechanics ended up being some of the strongest cards in the set by far. Not only that, but both sets were also pretty forgettable (at least in my opinion, to the point where I had to think pretty hard to remember what RR even stood for).
Oh yeah I guess they were both arena/tournament themed as well.

The only thing you really missed was the Felfire Festival of Music and VENGANCE!(you should atleast watch the trailer, it's awesome)
the event lasted 4 weeks with weekly content and legendary quests. Week 1 had a giant battlegrounds patch that introduced Pirates, in week 2 they released the Ashes of outland Story mode(was ok, nothing outstanding), week 3 brought us the heroic mode (with original bosses not just improved ones) aswell as a new brawl and week 4 only had the brawl going on.
So about 2 months ago I just kinda short-circuited and uninstalled Hearthstone for the first time in years (which I assume all of you have noticed seeing how I was clearly the most illustrious personality on this site and my sudden absence must have been considered a national tragedy comparable to the Hindenburg disaster).
Surprisingly enough during that whole time I didn't actually miss Hearthstone at all. It was an incredibly freeing experience and I would honestly recommend it to anyone who feels burnt out with the game. Losing a few months of gold/cards really isn't that bad now that you easily get all your rares and commons within the first 30 packs of a new expansions anyways.
Spent my time catching up with League again, but now that has lost its appeal again and since the new expansion is just around the corner (and I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to cash in on the nerf refunds) I decided to check back in.
Now obviously I'm not completely out of the loop, but I thought it would be fun to let you people give me a TL;DR of the last two months, just so I can get into the spirit of losing my sanity once I realize why I quit in the first place.
Also, if you wanna hear a funny anecdote: I quit just before the Priestess of Fury nerfs hit so despite holding on to my extra copies because I knew it would get hit eventually I still didn't manage to actually cash in on the extra dust...and the funny thing is I don't even really care anymore. i realized I was way too focused on trying to maximize ressources when I barely even used them. I'm really going to try and focus on just building fun decks now and probably only play every other day for fun and quests while I let my absurdly large dustbin and draconic dusting policy carry me through the expansions.
Playing Odd DH, fuck me, it's going horrible, but I'm really tryharding before the nerfs.
But this Rogue just got the most undeserved win ever. What the fuck am I supposed to do with them getting Drywhisker Armorer from Faceless Lackey, and them Shadowstepping it twice on my 5 minion board? 20 armor for 3 cards and 1 mana? As a fucking Pogo Hopper Rogue? At least Reno has the deckbuilding restriction, but this RNG on RNG getting them the perfect card is extremely infuriating.
I'm back, what did I miss?

Is the Next Hearthstone Expansion Scholomance Academy? Several Leaks Point to the School of Necromancy
I think they said that they want to introduce a new minion type this year in an interview late last year. But I can't find it

Leaked already *facepalm*
Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

Arrrrrgh
Is the Next Hearthstone Expansion Scholomance Academy? Several Leaks Point to the School of Necromancy
I'm with Shadows, I don't recall seeing that anywhere and would love a source or rough idea where it was mentioned.
I know if anyone on the team knew, we'd have made a dedicated article for it at the time. I hope we didn't drop the ball too hard.

Do you remember where you think they said that? I have no memory of an announcement like that, and that would be pretty big news.

I assumed with the gnomes it'd be something based around the Tower of Azora.
But I guess they're exploring Scholo before it was turned into a school for necromancy.
Pretty cool!
I'm back, what did I miss?
Correct: you cannot DE the golden Kael'thas

+1 for the first paragraph of your post. Made me laugh, welcome back!

alright, that was pretty lit. Guess I have motivation to play through that story now

That's what I usually do, then once all of the cards are revealed I re-evaluate my ratings

The logo looks legit (it's the Italian Hearthstone expansion logo). Scholomance Academy it probably is!

I assume I don't get to DE that one, right?

A cardback. If you do the Heroic bosses, you get a golden version of Kael'thas Sunstrider.
I also recommend that you watch the Felfire Festival video; it was the best part of the whole event lol:

They said no year long story this time, so probably not.
