Are we literally price tagging a virus pandemic here?

I thought the sensible choice would be to do whatever is possible to stop the virus from spreading. I don't see how half the workforce sneezing and wheezing with massive migraines would be able to do anything for the economy anyway.

Also, if the concern is about the poor …

For example, the meta around diamond currently doesnt feature lots of dhunters, so I removed Explosive Trap for Freezing Trap and Snake Trap.

Since there's lots of highlander hunters and other dragon hunters, I replace the boar tech with Scalerider. I might change this to 1x Burrowing …

Honestly, there's little need for Dragonbane. Kill Command more of less does the same thing anyway in most matches. The only thing this can do is to maybe snowball a priest or mage matchup, which you're favored to win anyway.

This isn't true at all and, …

The card is fine in the its current iteration. It provides a buffed hero power, which is just broken considering that dhunter's buffed hp is 2 attack for 1 mana.

Another argument against it is purely future card design and balances. If it gets too consistent, then devs might just want to avoid those very powerful unconditional cards for …

Dragon hunter is very strong, but not overwhelmingly so, and there's so many tech decisions that its not possible to just copy a hsreplay dragon hunter deck and expect to go well with it.

For example, the meta around diamond currently doesnt feature lots of dhunters, so I removed [card]explosive trap[/card] for [card]freezing trap[/card] and [card]snake trap[/card].

Since …

Most players keep a poker face out of respect for their opponent. Others simply dislike grandiose celebrations.

There was once a korean pro in the old masters format for Asia, I can't remember his name but I think he actually qualified for 2018's worlds, who was pretty much laughing and clapping at every rng play that went his way. …

Blizz has made the right decision to cancel blizzcon for this year. But honestly, even if the COVID was not a thing, they should probably take a pause for a year anyway, considering how it went for the previous blizzcons.

Having made announcements of new games previously, but not release dates, I cant help but feel if this year's …

Pure list have the better midgame. [card]Lightforged zealot[/card] can sometimes buy you enough tempo to somehow reach your libram cards.

Paladin currently lacks card draw and a poor start. In my opinion, if you're gonna play paladin, its better to just bow down to card draw RNG than trying to plaster it up with inefficient card draw.

Those goddamned priest mirrors. Lord have mercy

If blizz really want people to get into wild just;

- Do more frequent balance changes in wild

- Make wild packs and adventures cheaper (if dust is the issue here, its inefficient to mine dust off packs for actual cards, and they still have to pay for it)

- Consider retiring some cards

- Make …

Its not like hunters are invincible. Most decks have a decent chance against dragon and highlander hunter.

As pointed out, the difference in win rate is a mere 2%. And the matchup is fairly predictable. They are fairly at the mercy of their draws, and even a semi-decent amount of healing throws them off. If you're really triggered by …

[card]Lightforged zealot[/card] is really good, and is one card in paladin that swings tempo. Since [card]libram of justice[/card] is already pretty good with consecrate most people might think the [card]wild pyromancer[/card] is just not good enough compared to what zealot is doing.

Also, [card]Lightforged crusader[/card] is actually pretty nuts. Unfortunately, its bad not because of what it does but …

... We are strangely in a world where Stormforged Axe is one of shaman's best tempo tool early game. Yeah, that's not a good sign. ...

Stormforged Axe has never been that bad, it just happens to be really effective against Demon Hunter due to all the …

Ever since the patch there's been plenty of lags, daily quest taking up to half a day to reroll, hearthstone loading forever, etc.

Tin foil hats aside, I think its time for blizz to consider spinning battlegrounds off from hearthstone's servers or from hearthstone itself. Seems like every time there's some change in battlegrounds the whole yarn gets unspun.

Been seeing less dhunters and rogue, but more hunters, mage and paladin. That will obviously change as people adjust and the brief few moments of dhunter not being top of hsreplay will be corrected, so stay tuned.

Just wanted to share some thoughts post nerf;

- Paladin still sucks; the change to [card]aldor attendant[/card] was welcome, but the …

Really? has this progressive chance increased been confirmed or hinted at before?

I've often suspected it, but obviously never confirmed

Golden cards are great and all, but most players dont need golden cards they just need cards to play with.

So substituting 1 golden epic, 2 commons and a rare with 5 packs and a bunch of rare cards. Yeah that works out fine for most of us. Especially since the packs can sometimes net you a legendary, or …

$15 dollars for golden classic packs...hmm

You know what blizz? had you offered up some lets say 15 AoO packs at that price, that $15 in my pocket would've been yours.

As it stands, the only other good reason to take up this offer is for the higher dust ratio per pack (about a minimum of 300 dust …

With runeterra not slowing down and hearthstone generally been doing some good stuff lately, can't see artifact 2.0 taking down the competition anytime soon.

Its not just the game purchase price (not even sure if its still pay to play or going FTP now). The game's quite complex in itself, and yet not completely free from randomness. If anything, …

Its really not that difficult to play around [card]priestess of fury[/card]. The main problem has always been how to kill it.

It has only 5 health now, and at 7 mana its barely playable. I would give it some time, but I honestly think its days are numbered.
