I said something similar to your opinion about the return of the Rag. card back and I'll say it again here: there is absolutely nothing special about the people who already own the Tyrande hero. There was no true effort involved in obtaining it. You just signed up for Twitch prime and, if from one of the regions where she was not available, lied about where you were. I guess you also linked your Twitch and Blizzard accounts. That's all you had to do.
Having the Tyrande hero means nothing other than that you happened to have been playing HS during the time she was available and were aware of the few small steps you had to take to get her. In my mind that is not something that gives you bragging rights or any reason to want other players to be unable to use her or have some superficial tweak as though the original is more special in some way.
Now if Blizz were to hand out golden heroes or 1000 win portraits to everyone, or card backs that actually took a bit to effort to earn e.g. through heroic single player content or competitive play, then yes I'd take issue with that. But those take time and genuine effort, not 2 minutes and a few jumps between different websites.
It's about that already. I don't normally care for skins.
It's not about people who will obtain the skin. I've just felt tricked to buy Twitch/Amazon Prime. It would be same if now they decide to give King Rastakhan to everyone for free because I don't buy normally pre-orders. I like more to buy packs if I really need packs and I've just pre-ordered Rastakhan's Rumble just because of the skin.
People never understand or even are never trying to understand this complaints are not about them. I decided not to buy any of the hearthstone content anymore because of this shitty move of blizzard because I just knew that in Ragnaros card back times because it was the first move that I don't like and I've said under that article it is not guaranteed that they won't give other time-limited contents anymore and Tyrande skin is proof of that. I've ended up right at the end of the day.
I still didn't buy any of the pre-orders since that time and won't buy any in-game content with real money anymore. I've just tricked by blizzard and wanted to open a thread to express my feelings to warn people who plans to buy limited-time in-game content from blizzard about they are not limited anymore.
It is same with how you will feel tricked if blizzard gives 1000-win portraits and heroic adventures to everyone. At the Ragnaros card back times, people defended blizzard by saying the exact same thing as you by saying "you don't spend any effort to gain that cardback". Now you are using this argument to defend this situation here. How ironic.
I feel tricked by blizzard and other players are personalizing the situation here. I don't care who you are or what you will obtain. I care only that I'm tricked by blizzard and won't buy any of the hearthstone content anymore. That's all. I will continue to play the game but won't support the game. I will watch it lose consumers and die in time and I will try to persuade people to not buy hearthstone content anymore. At least I will make it for my family and friends.
I am not even adressing people who doesn't own Tyrande skin. Stop personalizing the situation.
Thing is, I don’t understand why are you mad at Blizzard.
Yes, you chose poorly when you decided to buy Tyrande. I get that - if I buy something that is later given out for free, I’ll feel stupid for buying it, and feel like I wasted my money for nothing.
But how is that Blizzard’s fault? They don’t owe you anything just because you made the decision to buy their skin. You could have an argument if they specifically marketed that the product wouldn’t be offered again/for free. But they didn’t say that, so the way I see it you only have your own judgment to blame.
I definitely get the desire to not buy their content anymore - it’s been shown to be an unwise decision. But I don’t think there’s anyone you should be angry at.
The only thing Blizzard is taking away from older players by doing this is one of the ways for them to brag about playing HS longer (some achievement that is...). If someone is angry because they can’t brag as much, they’re being selfish.
Answer to the bonus riddle: “No” is an anagram of “oN”, which when’s put against a mirror reveals the word “no” in English. What’s a word that’s interchangeable with “no”? That’s right, “not”, meaning you will not buy him a pack.
It was nerfed twice (once reducing what it gave charge to, then to it's god awful current effect. It's drunkards were Grim Patrons, and now it has no synergy with anything, because Raid Leader is just better, even with a charge centric deck.
Nice one! The synergy part also involves Blizzard pulling the plug on the entirety of the Charge concept. Your turn
Those are wrong as well. A hint: the last line doesn’t refer to any specific mechanic ingame, but rather to the minion’s flavor. The second to last line refers to Taunt
He can wear many faces
not as many as the faceless
Beyond the mirror is his basis
But they say he won’t go places :(

Waxadred?
”It is yet to be unleashed” - wasn’t released yet
”A power your deck can’t handle” - his power has to do with your deck
”Flames brighter than Rakanishu” - his wax body is much bigger than Rakanishu’s puny lamp
”You no take candle” - do I need to explain?

This is probably it, the game being chess

I’ve been hammered and hammered,
I’m not what I used to be,
I was a terror with my drunkards,
noweven my synergy was taken from me
Lowly Squire?
When he’s summoned, sound the trumpets - has trumpets in entrance quote
It’s totally common to hear - is common
Pay more Mana and bigger he gets - gets more Attack when you spend Mana on HP
But he’ll always be lowest tier - how do I say this... he sucks
It was an emoticon riddle. Probably some technology shenanigans made them disappear :P
Nicely done, your turn!
Let’s try something different:
“❌🌨 ❌❄️ ❌🧙♀️“
Treachery?
Yup! Lynessa Sunsorrow and Sonya Shadowdancer as well. Marin has many options ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
your turn @MurlocAggroB!
I’m skillfully trained,
and handsome as well,
I walk through many perils,
for the reward is real swell
As if the jackpot isn’t enough,
My companions are all fair lasses,
not much is known about them,
it doesn’t matter, they have fine... eyes.
Hungry Crab
You got it! The last line is referencing the fact the minion itself is a safe, something that is usually guarded. Your turn!
Nope. I don’t see how that would fit the last line
Those are wrong as well. A hint: the last line doesn’t refer to any specific mechanic ingame, but rather to the minion’s flavor. The second to last line refers to Taunt
Nope. Maybe it wasn’t as easy as I thought after all... I’ll try to think of a hint
