Equipment is a really old concept, spawned in Magic decades ago.
In magic equipment never really was that good unless it:
made the wearer untouchable (in lor this would be spellshield)
Buffed way above rate (like give 10/10 for 1 mana)
have a low cast and equip cost (cutlas would be an example for that)
gave the wearer broken keywords (like in LoR double attack, scout, overwhelm, elusive, lifesteal)
...or were almost free while giving the most broken keywords at fast speed (embercleave cought)
To be honest: I doubt that riot will hit the mark with equipments as with a large card pool as we have in LoR and the countless possible interactions there won't be the right manacost/powerlevel for equipments.
You can make them strong, open for multiple archetypes and therefore broken on selected wearers or weak unless selected wearers use them and very niche
Oi, are these quips really necessary? Usually a slippery slope.
TinTin, people took some umbrage with the "bronze players" comment, because it's really not the bronze casual players (who often just play, have fun, mind their business) complaining on Twitter or Reddit. It's more like your very invested hardcore crowd, lots of Legend holders. Make of that what you will.
Now not liking the direction of nerfs or whatever else in terms of balance is anyone's right and a fair argument, but that's different from the direction this took. With these changes it often seems like something will annoy one person while pleasing another.
Well, from my personal experience, it´s quite easy and common to get the DH location in Duels, while playing a deck with Relics, if you have any of them. If not, make a deck with any CN card you own, and the game should offer you an Relic bucket, but I didn´t test that, tho it might be worth a try. Good luck!
I tried Steamcleaner, but both the chess cards and the 6 added cards are considered to have started in the deck, so that didn't do anything spectacular. My opponent happened to play Ambassador Faelin though, so it was still useful.
YouTuber OldGuardian always posts regular and budget guides for all Mercenaries bounties and all special event tasks, so that's the first place I'd go for solutions. He has a playlist up already:
I reached level 88 and just completed all of the new Murder at Castle Nathria achievements.
The last achievement I needed to do was the bugged One of the Classic Blunders and requires a bit of special setup as a workaround. Currently, there is no simple way to trigger this achievement in constructed, because nobody is playing Warrior and thus you will not encounter any Suspicious Pirates. However, you can give this pirate to the opponent using Theotar, the Mad Duke and pray that it gets played eventually. My Demon Hunter opponent indeed played the given Suspicious Pirate and even equipped the secretly chosen weapon in the same turn. There was no way I would pick the chosen weapon, lol. Such a joyous feeling to finally complete this bugged achievement using a bit of ingenuity.
What to play next? The mini-set is a long way away still. The C'Thun special event is a nice little distraction though.
Soft launches are pretty common for f2p games, especially for mobile. It allows them to get feedback on a unfinished game. Kinda like early access on Steam, except here the fast majority of the main target audience (casual players) don't even know about its existence until they one day see it in their mobile stores, which means that they never have a chance to make their first impressions based on a unfinished product.

Even if summoning Mechs qualifies, it doesn't do an amazing job of supporting the archetype since neither of these cards have any direct synergies with Mechs. Their main synergy lies with discarding and I'd argue that disqualified them for this comp.
Control Wrench is more interesting. Sneaking some Windfury in there. I never knew Powermace existed. For a second I thought this had anti-synergy with Whirling Zap-o-matic, the only actual Mech printed for Shaman, but then I realized it actually allows it to attack four times, so that's some nice synergy. My only concerns are that it has some slight anti-synergy with Powermace, since both are weapons and that the GvG cards weren't available in Standard at the time. I don't know if people will make a big deal out of that, but I noticed pretty much everyone is using custom watermarks. It's the get-out-of-jail-free card thanks to the existence of Core sets.
Demonxz95
SI:7 Scout isn't very exciting, so I'd argue you should go with Commander Akrula, but big Demon DH has already seen support in various sets.
Wailor
I don't think Ferocious Wildcat needed the extra Health for the same reason I mentioned about BloodMefist's Malicious Magmacaster (see his feedback). You might want to use the same trick I used with Moonglow Stalker: adding the minimum requirement to make it more suited to the archetype instead of having guaranteed value. I think it works, although I won't deny it's a bit shoe-horned.
Deathmetal Encorer has the issue of being too similar to Death Blossom Whomper. Personally, I still prefer it though, because I think it could see some interesting use in DH.
adamsleungcn
Holy Paladin, Silver Hand Paladin and Taunt Warrior have already seen support in various expansions. I think you misunderstood the prompt, so probably take a closer look at it. Also note the little hint at the bottom of the competition page: how successful the archetype was doesn't matter, it's about whether only one or two expansions have supported it.
BloodMefist
I don't think having the Elemental tag immediately qualifies Malicious Magmacaster to count as part of the archetype, which I think is fine since Elementals have seen support in various expansions. Nice catch on Astromancer though. I do agree with Demon that with its current stats you're always gonna get some value out of it, which doesn't compensate for the potential high damage. Just take a look at any minion that uses "hand size" in its text: they all have stats < cost.
The only reason I'm not a big fan of Archimonde is because I feel it limits future Fel spell design, because it is balanced around the current (lower) powerlevel. If they'd ever want to print a 10-Cost Fel spell, they'd run into issues.
Moondreamer
Supporting restore Druid is a great idea, but I feel like Squeamlish's strong suit is her ability to double up on any AOE Health buffs. This is a concern considering Druid is very known for its board buffing, which I think therefore shouldn't be part of this prompt. I think it would be a good idea to focus on the healing aspect of the card.
Arkasaur
"Cards that didn't start there", another nice catch. I prefer Premeditate. It's a lot more interesting. But I do think effects like these should generally come with a body attached. I don't even think you'd need to lose out on any stats, since the effect requires some shuffling first and card draw after.

I really don't understand why they did this weird release calendar. They're losing lots of players since the hype already passed LONG time ago.
