AH! I did not know about the Barnes/Y'Shaarj thing - so that explains it. Thanks for clearing that up!
I love a good RNG meme deck as much as the next guy (Burgle Rogue/Thief Priest are some of my favorite decks), but this was just too much - Renounce give you either a fantastically synergistic deck that allows for a steamroll (very rare) or you get a bunch of disjointed junk that gets you bodied (mostly this). I'll probably still kick it around between now and December, but man were my expectations way out off base with this one!
I have the same problem, but in every mode since the update. Only tried on Android but it's annoying because I already lost quite a couple of matches due to it...
Well, got home and tried with WiFi and loaded the solo adventure no problem. Got through the first phase of the Plague Lord of Murlocs and then game froze up again. Tried reloading multiple times and it never resumed my game. Tried to go back to the adventure and it froze up each time. Finally managed to get the adventure loaded only to have the Plague Lord reset back to full health. Seems like this latest update still has some bugs to iron out.
Oh please let that happen. Have you any information about other forums or pages and the reactions of the playerbase there? Or any other base for your feeling? I would be really surprised if they changed the portrait, but they were more responsive for some time now. Still, this is a lot to ask. *fingers crossed*
Well, I don't have a basis to prove my words, as this is just a speculation, but I think it may come true. I remember people getting confused over Omega Defender's previous artwork and Blizzard gave us the art of the female goblin we now have. So if people make a big deal out of Rexxar's 1000-win portrait, I believe the devs will feel forced to do some improvements.
cause the interaction between a smaller pool of cards is unknown yet there might be new stuff that people didn't tinker with in wild cause the card pool is so large..
Warlock is the only class where I am over 1k wins currently, so I am very happy with bad - ass - Guldan. On the other hand I hate playing with and against hunter(I think I have less than 200 wins with huntard) so I am very happy to see the reward for smorcing successfully for more than a 1000 times is a dumber looking rexxar.
The other portraits are ok i guess, valeera looks a bit like she is attending a Halloween party, which usually looks dumb 11 out of 12 months but meh, guess it fits with her playstyle, especially in wild.
A bit disappointed in Garrosh, too, as his golden portrait is one of the coolest imo (fire!) but this corrupted version doesnt really do it for me. At first I didn't even recognize him (yeah I have no clue of wow) but I guess if this version is interesting for some wow-fans it is alright.
All in all cool addition for long - time - players, although new voices-lines would have made it even better.
Warlock has Nemsy. I'm very fond of her and she is still easy to get.
I am also very much disappointed in the use of the old voicelines which is definitely just lazy. Anduin is boring af with or without the 1000 wins.
Yeah, but I was talking about myself. I don't have Nemsy, so the 1000-win portrait was a warm welcome. I definitely agree with you about the old voicelines part, I was also quite disappointed hearing the same old stuff all over again, but I don't expect to see any changes in this regard. I think that the community may encourage Blizzard to change Rexxar's portrait. I have a strong feeling, that the latter thing will happen in the nearest future.

Hi guys, has anyone played this deck on ranked so far and would like to share their opinions? There is no win condition besides "not dying", right? (NZoth does not seem to produce enough, even fully loaded).
First off I think it's fair they punished Blitzchung for using the winner's interview for a political protest. Anyone could have foreseen that would have caused problems for Blizzard and that there would be consequences; had they fined him and disavowed the protest I would have moved on.
BUT I think the punishment is way too harsh, no prize money, kicked out of grandmasters and banned from competing and firing the casters? That's not punishment anymore, that's taking a side.
There Blizzard went way too far. I can't support a company that takes that step, so I'm at least going F2P for the foreseeable future, I was planning on buying the Hex bundle for instance.. not anymore, nor am I pre-ordering the next expansion. Still deciding on whether i want to take a further step.
Especially egregious is the fact that these broadcasts are on a delay of 30 mins, so what was Blizzard doing? They could have chosen not to show the interview, but instead they aired it and then they made scapegoats out of the casters and Blitzchung...
It's a trash-tier meme which is why I don't understand wasting a card slot on Renounce the Darkness for this event. A bunch of people jumped down my throat for being anti-fun or w/e for making similar comments in the reveal thread, but this is exactly the point I was getting at back then too: why waste people's time with unplayable "fun" cards when losing isn't fun and there are meme cards that actually pack a punch.
Different people have different goals when playing this game. I personally enjoy winning and climbing, so I play the best decks to rank up. Others don't like the standard meta but enjoy being competitive, so they'd play Wild or Arena. And some people have fun memeing with cards like Renounce. Different people are allowed to have fun in different ways, which is likely why you were being flamed. Nobody can tell you what's fun and not fun, if people enjoy memeing and don't mind losing, then good for them. I absolutely despise Highlander Mage and have a hilariously low winrate against the deck, while to others it's a complete meme. It's all based on perspective, you can't tell someone how they should percieve something.
I was curious about this in the last two bundles that included a legendary so was paying attention and I believe the random legendary from the bundle follows the no-duplicate rule as well, so you're guaranteed to get one that you don't have
As a warlock player with no alternative skins, I am exceptionally grateful to see my class getting one of the most badass 1000-win portraits. Imho almost all of them look sick (Garrosh is my other favourite, but warrior is one of my least played classes) with the exception of Rexxar.
I agree with you on the warlock being the nicest and the Derpxxar exception part as well, but beg to differs on Warrior ... It seems - thematically at least - to be very off ; Any old artwork with Garrosh looking all armored-up and ready to fight would have been better. Still, not as awful as poor mentally challenged Rexx. They should have added drooling at this point
Well, it's a reference to that one time, when we had to fight Garrosh back in MoP. He wielded Xal'atoh and absorbed partial power from the Heart of Y'Shaarj.

Have to agree with you here. This would not havr gained the coverage it got and would have been totally forgotten. With the exception of the few people watching the stream

It is a very hard punishment when you think of Roger who cheated twice and it took Blizzard a lot of time to react on this

I realy like them - they look awesome (maybe Rexxar could be a bit better) but i can't wait to equip some of them :)
Renounce Warlock?
like he said - the deck was mostly strong because of these 2 cards.
If you do not play with them it is simply a meme / fun deck !

According to the Blizzard employees, it wasn't a grouped agreement to ban Blitzchung, since they're beginning to protest themselves.
