Well, we knew it was coming and let's be real its been coming a long way back.

So there's no reason to discuss the nerfs and buffs because there isn't any revealed, so let's have a discussion on how the classes changed would fare in a hypothetical new meta.

- Rogue will go back to thief, …

Probably early Feb. Its always 2 months after release, somewhere around then.

Because they've invested into the game emotionally. Not everyone treats their stuff like a couple of soiled gloves.

So blizz shat on their game and they, as fans, call them out on it.

Without accurate data on how much hearthstone is actually bringing into the total revenue, we can't speculate much on why the decision to take away the master tour prize pools. But I think the low viewership is probably being brought into equation here, which I think is unfair. You dont need nostrodamus to predict lower viewership when you switch platforms …

Im not getting the either or situation though. Its xp and gems, not that I pay much attention to the gems anyway. Far as I know, you get both. Wouldn't make any sense to take one away and Im sure reddit would be in flames if xp is taken away.

Sometimes when games are too short you dont see …

As usual, play noz. This is the only day you get to actually see its effect consistently.

Chinese people generally celebrate this day even if they're not in or born in china. In any case, its just used as a reason to give out stuff.

I don't play battlegrounds, and not interested to pick it up.

But man, I'll have to download that 4gb update anyway right blizz? Just give them that separate client server already.

This event is a bit weird because its completely BG related instead of being a mishmash of both. I guess that frees me up to …

Oh yes, lock one skin behind a paywall that doesn't even give you the skin 100% of the time.

I guess the only good thing about it here for me is that Im not exactly that keen on it. But scummy nevertheless. You'd think that the state of standard currently that it won't be a good idea to lock …

[card]brann bronzebeard[/card], [card]coldlight oracle[/card], [card]elven minstrel[/card], [card]forensic duster[/card], [card]alexstrasza the life-binder[/card], [card]spirit of the shark[/card]

Add in coins gens, [card]shadowstep[/card] etc. You can legit just draw the entire deck and win by turn 3-4. Deny opponents with forensic duster for that extra sauce. Easy for FTP players too.

Also, I think its worth mentioning that this is the …

shes not really that crucial

TIL Kotori Lightblade is a 'she'. I'd never heard her voice before.

https://hearthstone.fandom.com/wiki/Kotori_Lightblade

Yeah, or at least that's what I heard. Because her physical appearance doesn't really show it :P

Unfortunately, shes not really that crucial, even in aggro pure pally. The meta is really unkind to paladin, you're really just dropping [card]kotori lightblade[/card] as a river croc that your opponent can never ignore, because her best utility is indeed just turn 2 play into [card]seal of blood[/card] on 3 if your opponent's stupid enough to leave her alive.

…

Its funny how the topic of this thread makes it look like LoR is dead, like artifact, when in reality its probably second only to hearthstone as an online card game.

I dont play LoR but I watched some of the games. So I did a quick search and would you believe it, there's always at least one article …

Sorry to hear that, because somewhere early in 2022 I had the same problem.

Its likely a server, region specific issue. I haven't encountered a bunch of this problem throughout this month.

Ah yes, the annual evolve shaman tavern brawl.

Mull for [card]evolve[/card], play it turn 1 and there's a good chance your opponent's face explodes immediately.

On your collection manager, lower right, you'll see a glowing button labelled 'crafting'.

Click on that, search for [card]shattering blast[/card], right click and it will bring up an option to craft if you dont own any. Costs 100 dust, so if you dont have the dust, you cant craft it.

There's two other options if you already own …

I know its unpopular, but it had to done sooner or later, because we're gonna have to take another year of him before rotation. And whether or not anyone agrees, its highly unlikely that team5 designs aggro cards without considering the 40 health.

Frost DK for example have actual difficulties reaching 40 damage, so we may argue that its …

They said its done with limited data, and Im not surprised, because these buffs are very cautious. The real reason for them doing it now is because of the usual end of year holidays. We wont be seeing them for another two weeks, so they decided to push out something, even if its not exactly what everyone wants/thinks.

I …

The biggest buff to DK is actually seeing other classes being nerfed. But what Im curious about is how team5 is actually pricing the idea of corpses in DK. [card]Corpse bride[/card] almost never ever reaches that number, whereas [card]meat grinder[/card] is practically unplayable whether or not it gives one extra corpse. The only true significant change here is to [card]obliterate[/card], …

To be fair, hearthstone's esport scene started declining way before this youtube deal even exist.

But more to the point, this is beyond youtube and twitch. Card games are simply not that viewer friendly to ever break the esport scene, so its not surprising to me that its simply 'thrown in' the deal with other games. Games are too …
