Cannot get a win streak going no matter what. I swear the game is rigged right now, every deck I play my opponent seems to be the exact counter to it. Normally I get to rank 5 every season but the highest I have been is rank 8 this season.
Losing interest in the game to be honest, especially as it's oddly predictable which class I'll be matched against and what cards they will have at just the right time. I know people say it cannot be proven and match making is random but I don't buy that for a second, there is definitely something strange going on.
I can understand going through a phase of bad luck, but there is nothing nefarious going on. If what you're describing happens regularly to you specifically, then the opposite is happening to each opponent. In other words, Blizzard would be helping everyone who played against you, and hurting just you. That is definitely not happening. It's just the nature of a game that has inherently random card draw.
As was already mentioned, a lot of people just drop their decklist in here so they can find it again later easily. 18 deck slots is a very small number in-game; many people use this type of site to store their extra decklists.
I really like Rakanishu ... and his hero power to reduce the cost of cards in your hand has the potential to be completely broken. Like with that "you can use your hero twice each turn and it costs 1 less" ... so randomly reduce the cost of cards in your hand by 4, for free ... this is something I had for one run. Yeah, that's insane.
I've actually been sitting on this data a while, there was however a performance concern with getting it onto the site. Hours were spent reworking some backend stuff to make it so performant which is why there was a large lack of updates / news today on Out of Cards.
Time for sleep, back on the work train bright and early today (Saturday). Woot woot!
Buffs are definitely a good way to try to shake things up. Some cards were dead in the water upon printing and not a bad idea to try to resurrect through buffs. So many cards to pick from but so many are just garbage. Buff em up and you open up the potential of new decks and ways to create new win conditions.
I love these characters. They have so much more personality than some other adventure heroes "cough" Rekan "cough" and add legitimately new takes on the classes that both make sense and are really fun, such as a sniper as a hunter or a bouncer as for warrior.
[...] You end up with a problem then of the person that creates it first dictates how it evolves on the site, at least without a crazy amount of moderation.
[...]There are plans for more tools to help people find actual useful content and there will be incentives for people to make good guides.
[...]Ultimately, people should be allowed to use the site to share their decks and keep a record of decks they enjoyed playing. I think HearthPwn did a very good job with that, it just needs more powerful filters to let people find good content easier. Content discovery is going to be big here instead of simply deck discovery.
While I respect your opinion a lot and certainly understand why you want to go the same way Hearthpwn did I really hoped that this site would go into a complete different approach concering the deck database.
I know that the moderation amount for decks would be larger than before, but if you prevent dupe decks it would not only be in a size that humans could handle, it would also give the option to involve the community more with moderation. Imagine it as a kind of wiki, you have a comprehensible deck database and a community that cares about the content.
Creating a huge deck database and trying to code scripts/tools so that the visitor of this site might find a deck he would like is not only the harder task (in my opinion Hearthpwn failed on that task which is why I stopped posting my decks there), it's in the long run also the wrong way (in my humble opinion of course). There are still enough other sites going this approach, so if you have the chance to build something new - why try to build the same thing others already have only a bit greener with more dots?
Concerning people allowing to post decks they enjoy just provides to the same problem - bloating the database. If the deck is already in the database, they can comment there like "I love this deck, played 10000 games of it" and follow any changes the original poster adds to the guide. And in any other case, he could create a new deck copy and just change 1 card which might be the same deck with the same strategy but with another tech card which could lead into 29 different iterations of the same deck. You see, even if you approach my suggested way, the database would still be huge but with a very high quality.
Just forcing quantity with finder-tools for the database is nothing new and not innovative. Maybe most people just want another copy of Hearthpwn because they were happy with it and you just want to do that. Well, then go for it and I if it is like this I wish you the best luck with it.
Just my 2 cents and maybe no one cares what I have written here, but if only 1 guy agrees it was worth typing it ;)
I understand what you're getting at and i think there is some room to implement ways to condense decks that are seen, but i don't think that preventing anyone from posting duplicate decks for themselves is the answer. It should be done in such a way that it does not negatively impact the user experience, like preventing users from doing something because someone else already did.
I think there's ways to mitigate some of the unsavoury experience you are describing from your perspective in a much less oppressive way. Everyone has different reasons and purposes for wanting to create deck lists for themselves on their own accounts, from trying to get the most upvotes and influence the meta to just saving a decklist for later where it is easily accessible (your own decks will definitely be easier to find than any others).
Instead of every deck being visible to everyone when they search for decks, maybe preset filters would be useful. It would be cool if users could choose their own default filter settings so that they only see decks that match their personal preferences of quality or interest and don't have to sift through a bunch of junk. For example, hide decks without guides, hide decks by certain users or from certain classes, above or below certain dust or vote thresholds etc.
I used to play a lot more combo druid, but then when aviana was nerfed I dusted her. then later I needed more dust and decided that without aviana kun would not be useful either, so I DE him too. Its fun to see that someone is still enjoying combo druid.

Great work but you really need to fix the formatting. Like clickable class names that expand the possible options.

I did the legend thing last month with token druid and lackey rogue.
This month, I barely played hearthstone ... mostly played a different card game. So ending at rank 3, 3 stars.
Please prevent deck spammers early enough, don't let it degenerate like on Hearthpwn

personally, I find this dark version very pleasant on the pc. But on the iPad, a lighter version would be far more comfortable...
And whatever the colors may be, thank you so much for this website =)
