Great Battlegrounds Balance Changes Coming to Hearthstone in Patch 22.2.1 Today Including Tarecgosa Nerfs
Quote From Nirast

I imagine the Ultra Rare pool exist to add more unpredictability to the runs. It's probably a similar logic to critical hits in RPGs. Whether they have a place in a competitive environment is another …

Great Battlegrounds Balance Changes Coming to Hearthstone in Patch 22.2.1 Today Including Tarecgosa Nerfs

Huh, the duels nerf feels odd. I can't remember where the discussion was occurring (maybe here?) but obviously the big issue with treasures in duels is that if they are so strong that they need to be put in the …

Alterac Duels Meta Update #3 - Best 12-Win Hearthstone Duels Decks for January Week 4
Quote From Avalon

Yes, [card]Battle Tactics[/card] is really strong.

No, it's not unbeatable (in fact here above you can find many 12-win starting decks).

No, the whole game is definitely not cancer.

Hearthstone’s Duels Recent Feedback Thread Summary and Opinions - How Do You Feel About the Big Duels Update?

Good thoughts in the thread. My only personal bias I'd like to add is that *Hero* power mage isn't overpowered. What's overpowered is Mordresh being able to double up with Battle Totem for 20 damage aoe burst. Nothing survives that. …

Already Sick of Shadowcasting 101? Hearthstone Duels Moves the Passive to Ultra Rare Pool 2 Treasures
Quote From dapperdog

To be honest, why even bother having an ultra pool 2 when its clear that certain passives just end the games then and there.

But talking about shadowcasting 101, this is literally having the …

Hearthstone's Dean Ayala Shares Meta Snapshots For Every Expansion Since Whispers of the Old Gods

Because I was glad to see my "feelings" were actually correct with corroborating data? Sorry, I fail to see why I need your validation/excitement in order to make a statement about something.

Did anyone else not get dust?
Quote From NebuchadnezzarHS

I am really baffled about the fact that a big software company like Activision Blizzard is able to let such an embarrassing issue slip through their testing. Does their entire QA team consist of monkeys?

Hearthstone's Dean Ayala Shares Meta Snapshots For Every Expansion Since Whispers of the Old Gods

I never said the classes didn't have ups and downs. I said hunter always seems to carve out a solid tier 2 deck every expansion. (which I noticed you conveniently left out of your quoted text) Which bothers me because …

Hearthstone's Dean Ayala Shares Meta Snapshots For Every Expansion Since Whispers of the Old Gods

At least I finally have stats to prove my theory: Hunter generally never carves a huge slice out of the meta barring a few exceptions, and generally never dies barring a few exceptions. It always seems to stay solidly a …

Duels News Roundup - RegisKillbin's Reveals and Developer Interview With Ates Bayraktaroglu, New Season Soon, Clarifications & More

I think I kind of agree on this one. It's pretty apparent that this treasure is gonna need nerfing out of the gate. I think they are hoping it's just fairly rare to synergize with some strategies. IMO it's just …

Full Patch Notes for Hearthstone's 22.2.0 Update Coming on January 25

I 100% concur. Cannoneer doing "two pings of 2 damag each" in an archetype that access to infinite weapons just feels...wrong. Them nerfing the 2nd stage of the quest is a step in the right direction but the card would …

Full Patch Notes for Hearthstone's 22.2.0 Update Coming on January 25

Oh my god. The duels update seems fantastic. So many broken combos were toned down or removed completely. This alone gives me hope!

Extra Dust?!?

So I got 8800 dust (twice) which boosted me to somewhere around 19-20k dust. I logged back in today (I didn't spend any dust or craft anything) and all the dust is gone and I'm back to my original value...

Missing Cards? Free Arcane Dust? Blizzard Issues a Statement on Recent Hearthstone Issues
Quote From Stockworth

Ah damn. I got 16k by mistake and only crafted 2 epics. Now I'm at 0 dust.

Let it be a lesson, next time there's free dust: spend it quick.

Hearthstone Duels Patch 2.22.0 Balance Changes Datamined and Detailed
Quote From MurlocAggroB

That Bruising nerf is huge. Much-needed nerfs all around. (Shadow Word Void is still stupid and should be removed, though.)

I'm still waiting on the priest passive hero power to get nerfed …

Hearthstone Duels Patch 2.22.0 Balance Changes Datamined and Detailed
Quote From dapperdog

Its about the severity of the nerf. At 4 mana, that basically kills the treasure. Because in the first 3 wins, that's simply less efficient than your hero power, and certainly without that passive that …

Extra Dust?!?

Yea I got 7700 dust, and it popped up twice. So I now have around 21k dust...

I'm assuming they subtract the double dipping dust refund but still nice to get all the dust right before a new rotation/patch.

Microsoft to Acquire Activision Blizzard in a $69 Billion All-Cash Deal

The term is referred to as the "golden parachute". In acquisitions, leadership usually stays around for roughly a year to maintain the infrastructure. I don't expect him to stay on permanently. And if he leaves he'll get a huge severance.

The Demacia Problem
Quote From sto650

We might be in a situation where they could revert the nerf to [runecard]Relentless Pursuit[/runecard] and let it be fast again. That could be one way to make Demacia champs more relevant (especially Lucian, since …
