Well there are surely lots of cards i'm gonna miss but also some i will defenitely not gonna cry about once they are gone :)
Cards i will miss (because i either liked them personaly or liked some decks they were played in) :
Cathedral Gargoyle - i realy liked this one from the beginning because i always tried Dragon Paladin in every expansion!
Tess Greymane - Thief/Burgle Rogue was/is always fun to play so it`s kinda sad to see her go
Boommaster Flark - I realy liked the Flavour of Flark and he was very useful to me in my mech or quest hunter
Glow-Tron - Recently started playing pure and mech paladin so this guy will be deeply missed
Zilliax - One of the most diverse cards - realy liked him but it was also somekind of pain to play against :) - still liked him tough
Halazzi, the Lynx - Realy liked quest hunter , at least this deck made Halazzi half bad :)
Mass Hysteria - Priest was my first golden Hero and i realy like the class - sad to see this one go
Card i surely will not miss:
Witching Hour - mostly of the Ressurect from the Embiggen Druids :) but also bad memories because of Hadronox
Town Crier - every Warrior play either this guy or Eternium Rover on one - simply can't stand them anymore :)
Eternium Rover - See Town Crier up above :) - also turn one into coin Magnetic Mech (SN1P-SN4P) for example could be a pain in the ass.
Time Out! - This is the only card that made me dislike the OTK Paladin - and it was always two turns in a row this was played and after that i lost :)
That's all that i can think of right now - i surely hope we will get decent or better / diverse replacements. But im still hopefull we will get some nice new cards that will deliver a decent and interesting meta - at least i hope so :)
Yes i agree - the Exp. System could be better or at least get some improvement. Maybe other/better rewards or like mentioned above like they did it in overwatch with some kind of Star Ranking.
But before they do that i'm still hoping that they improve the Craft/Dust system :)
I created a Gnome and wanted to name him FieserFritz (German for Nasty Fritz) but the name did not work or was taken - can't remember so i messed around a little and came up with FieselFitz.
That name also sounded perfect for a Gnome and even if i use other Names on other platforms this Name is usualy my Username in any type of fantasy game :)
Haven't had the time yet to finish all chapters on heroic , started yesterday and i agree - even on heroic most of the Opponents are way to easy compared to other Story Modes on Heroic.
I mean i understand that they made it easier to "Help" new players to finish the mode on heroic but i guess it could be a little bit harder :)
I personaly disagree - not just because i like Leeroy :)
Sure Leeroy is played in some decks , mostly as a finisher but almost every deck? no, at least not on EU Server - haven't seen him played against me a few times but not that i would see he is prevelent in most of the decks.
Last 10 Games i've seen him once played against me and even then it was just to clear a minion on my board :)
Also the post sounds a little bit salty because you lost to someone who killed you with Leeroy a few times :) - no offense - i mean if blizzard would send every card to the HoF that is played a lot or most of the time i think it would not be good for the game.
One thing i noticed that Leeroy also sees play in the new Ramp Druid - but also as some sort of buffed up finisher - other than that i think he mostly is played in Aggro/Zoo decks as a finisher but the other decks i faced did not play him.
No, i don't think rush ruined the game, but i will agree that like others before me said that rush minions are to widespread across all classes etc.
I mean there are a few very good rush minions (Restless Mummy) for example - some are decent but others are not that prevelant or at least good enough to be played.
I think it´s a good mechanic and i hope that it the Rush Mechanic will stay - but i guess some Rush Minions could be changed/nerfed.
Sure Priest has seen better days - so have lots of Heroes not only Priest. Every class was at the Top Tier Decks and every class was on the least played class spot - but that´s not how it will stay. The Meta Changes with almost every expansion - and leaving just because your favourable class does not get the love you want it to is simply (at least for me) not the right choice.
Sure, everyone should play what he/she enjoys but there are lots of fun decks out there. And hell Priest is not that bad right now - Rezz Priest is doing pretty well. Never realy watched Zetalot - sure saw some clips or tried some decks of his but if he thinks the spot priest is in now is a good reason to take a leave so be it - i personaly think it is not that bad.
So far i've played Rezz Priest to Rank 3 (started at 8).
- 1-1: Yes, first target is always Rank 5 - after that, depending on how much time i have i decide to climb to legend or mess around with fun decks - 1-2: Well i can't remember the number correctly but something in the number of 2000 i think - 1-3: I play only standard , therefor my Rank in Wild is 25 :)
- 2-1: Started Hearthstone with Naxxramas - 2-2: Not realy, i mean there we're times i took a break for a few month but never missed and expansion.
- 3-1: No, i buy almost every Pre-Order and some packs now and then. - 3-2: Not Free2Play so - can't anwer that :)
- 4-1: Can't think of anything right now
Standard
- 1-1: Kind of yeah, i mean i wished for some improvemens (like adding a winstreak for rank 5-1 or something) - 1-2: Yes - 1-3: No
- 2-1: It's ok but could be improved - 2-2: Mostly yes - 2-3: No - 2-4: Some of them yes, but i guess the majority does not.
- 3-1: The month's i do not climb to legend or at least try i simply do not have the time because of Family/Work or other stuff - 3-2: If they would implement somekind of reward system i guess
- 4-1: Mostly yes - 4-2: If you have the time and played long enough yes! - 4-3: Only the time :) but with some ladder improvements this could be way faster
- 5-1: No, nothing blizzard has hosted but other local tournaments yes - 5-2: Mixed - totaly depends on the tournament and the host - 5-3: Better administration i guess :) - 5-4: No
- 6-1: Mostly yes, little improvements wouldn't hurt tough - 6-2: Like i said, most of it is fine but i guess some changes/improvements to the ladder system could make it better.
-7-1: Tough one ... i guess some improvement of the ladder system, or more save floors - or change the Dust/Craft costs so more players could join the standard Ladder.
Grandmaster, a new competitive format.
- 1-1: Maybe - 1-2: Depends how high :) - 1-3: I guess yes - 1-4: No
- 2-1: Somewhere between 500-1000 i think - 2-2: 5-10 Euros
- 3-1: Yes - 3-2: A banning system usually provides balance , therefor is needed
- 4-1: No - 4-2: - -
- 5-1: Use another cardpool - 5-2: No, i think a ladder system is fine
- 6-1: Maybe
- 7-1: Nothing to add :)
And i also think if Blizzard would change/Improve the Craft/Dust system more players would play the game or even buy cards :)
First off it just sounds like a salt post because he lost a few times to a specific deck :)
I think the meta right now is decent/fine - there we're way worse metas and at least on EU Server i face a variety of decks. Im Rank 4 right now messing around with Pure Paladin and the last 5 games i had we're against: Rush-Galakrond Warrior, Highlander Rogue, Highlander Mage, Quest-Handlock and a Zoolock.
And, at least for me the this diversity in Decks has been the last few days around rank 5/4 - so i would say Meta is fine. Saw only 1 Priest the last few days and i think 2 or 3 druids which i managed to beat using my Pure Paladin :)
The only problem with the chat i encountered so far is that i cannot see the chat - i can see the input im writing but after that i do not see the chat window anymore. Only the Speech Bubble that pops up once you get a message.
Haven't checked the Chat function since the update so maybe the fixed it.
EDIT: I checked and the Chat function is also fixed - everything works fine as it was before :)
I guess i have an unpopular opinion about mill decks :) - because the time they we're in standard (i only play standard) i realy liked them. Sure it can be frustrating to play against but so we're lots of other decks.
I always kinda liked mill type decks but i guess i'm one of the few players who enjoyed playing them.
I personaly would say from the list of decks you've listed your best 2 bets would be
Zoolock or Maly-Druid. I would prefer the Zoolock - the Invoke Cards will always give you board - try to put on pressure by building a good board on almost every turn. Do not attack the first few turns because of the Quest. The longer you can stall the quest the better. Build a board, buff up your minions and SMORC :)
Same goes for the Maly Druid. Stall the quest, fight for board and finish him with the OTK.
The Combo Priest only works if you have all the OTK Pieces at the right moment : Divine Spirit & Inner Fire to set up a OTK with a minion.
The Ingame Chat does not work as it used to - i cannot say anything i write and as soon as i click on someones text to see the message it shuts down ...
Second bug is usually at the start of a game - i start a game and hearthstone shuts down and i have to restart and hope the rope isn't running :) - this one happens more often the last few weeks
Zephrys is very strong but not the Swiss Army knife everyone would like him to be.
If you highlander players face too many DR rogues, tech in a silence card like the rest of us. This will work like a charm.
Exactly ! Lot of players think he will always give you the best thing ever - but that's not the case - you also only wish for the perfect card - doesn't mean you will alway get it - sure in some situations he will give you the "Perfect" Card in other he will give you good options but not the perfect one
Wtf does that even mean? Lol
It means that in some situations he will give you the perfect card but in others only a good outcome but just not the perfect one!

I like to help out - why not :)

Hi there
My main goal every Season is Rank 5 - reached Rank 5 pretty early on and after that i mostly mess around with fun decks etc.
Played Quest Hunter from Rank 9 to 5 - now im Rank 4 with trying out Pure Paladin - so far 3-0 :)
Looks like a fun list.
Only card i'm missing is Bandersmosh but i guess he is replaceable? Any suggestions for a fitting replacement?
I guess i have an unpopular opinion about mill decks :) - because the time they we're in standard (i only play standard) i realy liked them. Sure it can be frustrating to play against but so we're lots of other decks.
I always kinda liked mill type decks but i guess i'm one of the few players who enjoyed playing them.

So far I've only had/have 2 bugs:

It means that in some situations he will give you the perfect card but in others only a good outcome but just not the perfect one!
Don't know how someone can missunderstand that :)
Still one of the best cardbacks in the game :)

Strong Highlander Card - also had some matches i played her and got a second copy for free of the first Alex :)
Would love some kind of rush/charge shennanigans with this but right now to slow/weak
