Could Hearthstone See Class Bans on the Ladder? Hearthstone Developer, Dean Ayala, Says Its Possible

Its an interesting concept in theory, but in practice means not only do you need to balance and design around 9 classes, there's now an added consideration of possible bans strats. Its just adding more work for very little benefit.

Constructed Quests have a crap design

If the goal is to just finish up your daily quests, just play a hyper aggressive burn deck and either burn your opponent off or yourself. Spell mage (no quest) in standard can already easily do that, and its basically …

Hearthstone Grandmasters 2021 Season 2 Begins! Earn a Total of Six Packs by Watching

There's this weird theory (unconfirmed) that the stream have to be open and active, meaning you cant just leave it in one tab and work on another. Just for added good measure, dont mute youtube, mute the browser instead.

The last few times it was granted after two hours. But it did made us wait 3 days the first time it was implemented.

The Best Standard Hearthstone Decks According to Blizzard for Stormwind's Launch Week

It looks easy but in practice its a lot harder than it seems. Ive played through the first few days with quest dhunter and its really not easy finishing the quest tiers while navigating through the possible useless or useful …

The Best Standard Hearthstone Decks According to Blizzard for Stormwind's Launch Week

Perhaps the only consolation out of this meta is that most decks actually require skill to pull off, not least because the games don't really last all that long. Quest dhunter is one of the most skill testing mostly because …

Riot Reveals Trailer for Runeterra's Next Expansion, Beyond the Bandlewood - Multi-Region Cards Coming!

And complicated it certainly sounds like. Interesting though. It'll be like hearthstone releasing the expansions by groups of classes every 2 months.

Thanks for the explanation.

I dont think I've ever seen the win rate for going first be so radically different than second. But it makes sense. The unfortunate mess we have today is that the quest rewards ends games the following turn its played. …

Riot Reveals Trailer for Runeterra's Next Expansion, Beyond the Bandlewood - Multi-Region Cards Coming!

Just a question from a non LoR player. How many expansions does LoR get per year? Its like for every one hearthstone expansion I'll be seeing two of these.

Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

This is the one time Im going to do this. If anyone hold up stats in front of my face, I'll tell them to fuck off.

Why? Because mage isn't on the top of the list, and we all …

Hearthstone Won't Receive Balance Changes This Week, Developers Targeting Early Next Week for Card Changes

Im less concerned about wild because more broken things are available than being able to continually cycling [card]ignite[/card]. For now, if they would remove or nerf [card]incanter's flow[/card] then I'd say we can leave the other mage stuff in standard …

Two United in Stormwind Pack & Legendary Card Bundles Now Available in the Shop - Are They Worth Buying?

Its actually a break from the usual, because convention would be to offer 20 packs from the previous expansion now, and then two months later to offer another with 20 of the current expansion.

Well, this deal does get …

Duels Balance Changes Incoming? What's the Deal with Mind Tether Priest?

Just so everyone is aware, mind tether does help accomplish that achievement in stormwind for dealing damage with hp as priest.

So before it gets nerfed or changed, that's the fastest way to grind up that 500 xp.

Hearthstone Won't Receive Balance Changes This Week, Developers Targeting Early Next Week for Card Changes

Unsurprising that they decided to wait because the balance is currently too delicate for a hasty decision.

Its not merely [card]incanter's flow[/card] that twists all games in mage's favor, its also the fact that most games barely last beyond …

Hearthstone Grandmasters 2021 Season 2 Begins This Week - What To Look For

Jia and TJ don't match well together. They tried once in early barrens and unsurprisingly we never see them both cast together again throughout the rest of the expansion.

Specialist is good in theory, but it does expose the …

Card draw power creep is a major issue

Also, I'd like to agree with meisterz39's assessment. In metas where attrition based control were prominent, it was mostly an awful experience. I like slower games myself, and was gleefully …

Scalding Hot Take: The Demon Seed is not the problem

Combo with [card]stealer of souls[/card], [card]darkglare[/card], and [card]free admission[/card] would have been the best deck had it not been for the goddamned slow as hell animations of the quest itself. The number of times I've lost my games because the …
