This is a VERY welcome change. Though it is not a big thing, it is these little quality-of-life changes that matter the most.
It doesn't matter how balanced a game is, or how good the business model is. If the game does not run smoothly, and it is not fun to play, then it isn't a good game.
Now speed up the spell animations for about +20% and reduce the turn time to 60 seconds or even better down to 45 seconds and I will be even more happier. ^^
Haven't played much last few months so I was way of off rank 5 at rank 13 in wild. Had some free time last few days so I decided to make a dash for it.
Not helped this evening facing someone playing taunt heavy odd warrior seemingly without a win condition at rank 6 with only a few hours of the season left. Totally entitled to play that of course, but didn't seem a need to rope to the max every turn from turn 1 to their final turn having made their play in the first few seconds. Perhaps that strategy works against most players who are making a last few hours push and they just concede.
It didn't work with me as I just calmly accepted it (no BM, no roping them back) and after a 15 turn but 28 minute game my even shaman had lethal. I admit to finding that pretty satisfying.
Made Rank 5 with 1 hr 20 mins to spare yay!
Never give up and keep calm when facing such opponents :)
I made a Leona, although it's missing her Level 2 form and I think I might have front-loaded too much on her base card:
Challenger is her E (jumping on people), while Tough is her natural tankiness (let's call it her W). She can stunlock people for a long time with Q and her ultimate, so that's her additional ability. The purpose of her as a card is to Challenger the big threats and shrug off the damage as best you can, all-the-while Stunning them into next week.
Yes! While I like all the little animations in Hearthstone, many of them are way too slow. Sometimes it's just a waste of time, like when Snake Trap triggers in Quest Hunter, but I've also had many times when I couldn't finish inputting all my moves before the turn ended because of animations.
You can play highlander Hunter without those. You may hav to try a different approach for the secret package cutting all the secrets except for rat and snakes, cutting also secretist and leaving only stalker. The mech is replazable by any card you like.
This deck is so busted. The AoEs are waaay to strong. The 1 mana, 2 mana and 3 mana spells are all acting like Twisting Nether. All of them needs a nerf for 1 or better even 2 mana and they still whould be strong as f***. There is no way to get a board at all against this deck - it`s just ridiculous!
Is there any card to replace halazzi in quest hunter? Only missing that one and dont feel like crafting it.
I felt exactly the same. Replaced it with a scavenging hyena. I also played shuma instead of flark. Got to legend for the first time with it, but that was just before embiggen druid hit the scene
It's not weird for personnel to be shuffled around. What I find weird is the lack of an announcement, which tells me there could be a few more people who got transferred and they were waiting to announce it all at once. It could also indicate Mike and/or Peter weren't too happy about it, so they let it slip early, but that'd be making too many assumptions imo.

This deck is ideal for a quick end of season ladder climb ^^

All this shuffling already has me excited for Blizzcon. I can imagine them going for two big ones in a row, to quietly push 2018 into the corner.

Does your selected region affect weekly rewards?
I don't think it does but I'm just double checking as I can't seem to find info on this.
Oh and am I correct in assuming that the the region rewards are a one time thing?
Favorite champions not yet in the game?
Cool concepts, people; keep it up :)

After playing Runeterra this was one of the things annoying me the most when coming back to Hearthstone. Excited about that change!

Good for Peter and his future. However with Donais also gone, I'm concerned about Hearthstones future.
Wonder if we'll hear announcements from Dave Kosak or Iksar?

I fucking hope not. I whish them good luck and I'm sure they will be great assets for whatever game they are working on

Haven't heard of anyone else yet, but I only pay attention to WoW and OW to a lesser extent.

Has it just been people on the hearthstone team moving to another, or has this been happening recently with their other games too?

Warcraft 4 confirmed!

So is it a new VR game or something?

If he was the design lead from 2018 till now, then we are missing out bc that is the period where some really cool stuff was added
