What I really don't like is that the way the event page was structured, it seemed like we would get the avatar shown for Venom or Carnage during the event ... instead we got the pixel version, which I don't like at all. Personal opinion, of course, but imho I'm sure many ppl expected to get the event icon, not this one, as well. Poor execution on their part.
Still cannot scroll through my decks in the "carousel" widget on PC, so I only have an option to play 4 decks on PC and have to remake those 4 with new cards instead of creating new deck, if I want to play something else. Beyond annoying.
It depends how heavy are you on 1-drops. I run Armor in my Ongoing deck, because a) it can protect Ant-Man and b) it can get buffed by Spectrum.
That being said, there are more "destroy" cards than just Killmonger, case in point with today's hot location Pegasus Project, a lot of ppl, myself included, seem to run Shang-Chi to snipe the big baddies you can put down with extra 5-mana, so Armor helps there as well.
Cosmo would be another option, also Ongoing, which can get buffed by Spectrum. I sometimes run both.
Bonus points for them is you can counter "deathrattle" decks by denying them killing off Nova or tokens to feed Carnage etc.
Yeah, being unable to link acc before tutorial is upsetting as well. I unlinked my acc just to see what happens on another device (that was on launch day) and had to sit through it again. Thankfully I was able to link it back.
That is really unfortunate to hear. Yeah, while logging in via gmail might be more convenient for some, I can see how ppl without it might not like it too much. Then again, think of it as an account you would have to make for the game anyways, so imho not that big of a deal in the end.
The inability to link your account on PC is quite bad tho. Have you tried to verify integrity of game files via steam, or to reinstall it?
Ayyy, Carnage here! But it seems that it counts your wins on PC, because I had 71 points contributed right after I joined the event from a phone, so it must have counted them either all this time or retroactively from the event start. Either way, claiming those "quests" is possible only from a phone as it would seem.
Wow, that is pretty cool. But it must have also been weird to then figure out which ones were it, fearing you would move the correct one, eh? How did you proceed?
Well, only a single person being the one making decision is bound to bring their emotions, believes and potential corruption in as well sooner or later. People are not robots. So jury might be the better option, but obviously it will never be perfect.
Yeah, and it felt like they also didnt have set cooldown between them, sometimes i got like 3 in a fast-ish succession and then nothing and after a while a few more :) That was a bit weird for sure.
It is really hard to balance around poison, but you might need poison to battle trillion of stats. Feels bad to be on receiving end in any scenario, but this Quest reward was good even without poison, it is a pretty good change.
While I agree that HS could benefit from more playtesting, QA and so on, you are coming off quite harsh. Your gripe about interface is funny, since that just shows that dev time wasnt really spent on it and he worked with what he had = no "work" time was most likely "wasted" on his personal project. You can hate it because you dont like how it works/behaves, I dont have a problem with that.
But I'm fairly confident that Celestalon does these Puzzles in his spare time, or for the most part at least. I believe he said that he came up with the first one during that "break before holidays" they have each year to work on their personal projects. And it is VERY good if ppl can put something they love and enjoy into their work, you might be surprised how much of an impact, such a seemingly small thing, can have on a person's morale/mindset or whatever you want to call it. Especially in a corporate gigant.
Not having a legendary or any "must have / feels bad if I missed out on this" reward is probably the point as well, since he knows that not a huge percent of the entire playerbase will go through with it. And if someone has a completionist itch and need to get every achievement, well, we are here for them :)
I suppose that is a pretty good approach, if a bit scummy and most definitely time consuming if you would be unlucky :D But I agree that it would make things easier going forward.

LOL, that does work for me, thanks!

Ouch, OG HC border powa!

Yeah, re-confirmed. Continued playing on PC and it counted my wins+cubes for the event. I mean it would be really stupid if it didnt.

Where URF?!
Kinda cool how they implemented the "charging" mechanic for Varus :)
Cool, thanks for the answer :)
