Fixed an issue where the animation for Super Mega Death Rocket would sometimes not play.
That happened to me today, at first i was a bit confused, then i thought to myself, i used it 4 turns in a row, maybe the game just want to speed things up, and i was thankful. Oh, well ... :D
Well Demon Hunter has a bit of a problem there: they are pretty much ALL elves because only blood elves and night elves are trained as Illidari. That doesn't mean they cannot use associates of DH who are not DHs themselves, or make a joke character like Furious Felfin, but you should expect to see a LOT of elves in that class.
I shouldn't of said anything. I mention Elusives and 5 hours later someone is complaining. My fault forum peeps. ;)
Again if you are starting your forum status with: "X is unfair/broken/OP and should be fixed/nerfed/gutted, you are not doing yourself any favors." You should be asking: "How can I do better against X."
X = Elusives, Burn Aggro, Stand Alone Zed, Unyielding Spirit, Pilfer Goods, etc.
The only thing that needed "fixed" was Stand Alone which they did and it was only because swim made an insane deck the last week of Set 1 that ate up 50%-75% of matches.
Yeah, too bad this deck can't double the sporeling guy! Even without the Carpet, it forces awkwards moves by the opponent, like a mini-Sylvanas. I'm surprised it's not ravaging the mode.
As for the rest, I think you have too little a sample there. It took to me quite some time to get used to the deck. Not that it means the deck is a meta breaker, but I was able to defeat all the archetypes you mentioned in my climb to Diamond (so far I was able to defeat any kind of meta deck at least once). Ofc I also lost a lot, but not overwhelmingly so.
As for Divine Favor, the card was originally there, but I ended up ditching it because I could hardly benefit from it (no benefit against Aggro, not enough Tempo against Control). I was surprised as well of this, but my experience with it was pretty clear. You can try and replace the Ooze for it.
WOO finally a song! Also, Jaina had Rakinishu's hero power in the trailer for the burndown Rexxar had Barkeye's and Illidan had something. looks like we're getting adventure boss hero powers added into the mix for this burndown.
I really hope that is coming soon, but didn't they ask whether people would be interested in rotating Wild sets after the Year of the Phoenix announcement (along with the news there would be a new game mode coming)? That wouldn't rule it out and perhaps I am misremembering the order things happened in, but I have been thinking the new game mode would be more unique.
Regardless, they definitely did say it would be good for those with large Wild collections, so I'm hopeful either way.
Not so good so far. I beat a quest mage and lost to 2 even shamans, a dragon priest and a Galakrond priest (why do people play standard decks in wild?).
We need more draw. Why not Divine Favor?
I'm LOVING Infectious Sporeling! A real surprise card IMO. I managed to combo with the Carpet several times, transforming Giants and whatnot, then clearing with a weapon or tokens. Dude is badASS.
Dude, do me a favour and don't be a bad role model teaching kids to play burn.
We don't need any more of these silly decks on ladder right now
While I agree that P&Z/Noxus can be frustrating to play against, it's a valid deck strategy. More to the point: Phaseshifter is a single person identifying himself as a new player. Denying him information about one of the few viable budget options available to new players (elusives and spiders being the others) isn't going to make any significant change to the meta you're playing in, but helping him instead might help him stay with this game long enough to unlock rewards and craft some better / more interesting decks himself.
But I know what the deck issue was. It seems that the image on the decks is random. That's why I thought we had different ones.
The image on the decks is not random. If you have any champions, it will automatically be the most expensive champion. Otherwise, it will be the most expensive follower. They recently announced that they plan to eventually let you edit which card is chosen, but for now it is automatic.
Lastly, anything a new player should avoid? I tried building a full aggro deck with "Legion rearguard" and "Patrol Wardens" among others. But I'm not sure if these type of deck are viable in this game.
I would say this game is very forgiving in general. The "worst" thing you could do would probably be to wasting all your crafting resources building a memey deck (Teemo puffcaps?), and even that you'll replenish your supply in a few weeks. Most important things:
Try to hit at least Level 10 vault every week
Try to get every region except Bilgewater to Level 8 Region Reward ASAP -> will net you lots of quick champions
Try to get at least 3 wins every day -> will help with the aforementioned
Try to use your weekly free expedition token -> will also help with the first 2 plus give free epics
Almost all netdecks will run 3x champions, but don't be afraid to experiment with a modified 2x version. It won't be as good, but often its good enough and it give you freedom to try a few different archetypes.
I hope the event doesn't push the next set announcement too far back. I'm hoping it's on the 8th. Saviors of Uldum's was right on July 1st (I watched that trailer during the Canada Day parade). I know AoO was pushed back and there is that little quarantine thing happening... but I like cards, okay?

It is deeper than that because Elise is part priest too, so even Tyrande gets brought in to complete the trio.

Thx. I had assumed it was like in MtG and nothing could happen while a spell was resolving.

Now the siblings comment makes sense. but who would have thought, that they invent one?
