I must say I kinda agree with Blob. If you do not pay for the expansion, you are "behind" from the start.
And now I am gonna whine - It took me a week after launch to put together a decent deck.
Quest paladin + mech I stole it from Kripp, and it is fun and I can play it on the lower ranks.

But I have been thinking about why I keep playing and what I play when I do.
I play the Single player. All the time. It is by far the most enjoyable part of the game. Me vs AI
Other than that I play Jade shaman in wild because it is easy to do quests with and then I have 1-2 standard decks.

Crafted Lunas Pocket Galaxy cus free dust. Even the pros (for example the winner of Seoul Tournament) say this card needs a nerf asap, so it's imminent.

Interestingly, pros said without Mage, Druid will dominate. Because I had the Quest as a freebie I gave it a spin. It's actually pretty strong, the quest is very easy to finish, and the effect powerful.

@emilsn
Obviously you're behind if you're not paying. Otherwise why would people pay? Blizzard does need to earn from the game. But that doesn't mean that you don't have a chance or can't improve your situation if you're not paying. I've never payed for HS and I'm sitting comfortably at ranks 9-10. I'll never get to Legend at this rate, but that has never been my goal, so I'm fine.

@blob
Oh yeah, druid doesn't get as much attention because everyone is talking about how Mage and Warrior are OP, but Druid Quest is pretty damn powerful with the right cards. And I don't think it's that expensive either. I think the only Legendary except the quest there is Cenarius and it's not even a must.

@blob2. I have to admit I am frustrated with your recent posts. Because if you lose to the weakest classes (Warlock, Priest) and claim that they ruin the game, something is wrong WITH YOUR DECK and not the game. However, if you talk about Wild, then I understand, because I have no idea what the game looks like there, as it is clearly not balanced and never will be. They maybe shoud start banning cards, which works for MTG I guess, so why not.

My only issue is that you claim the whole game is ***ed up because of your experiences, and I hope you understand you only inhabit a small section of it. Even the pro players don't understand what truly is broken untill playing every day for 10 hours for 4 weeks. And to you after playing 2 games you come and say you know what is broken, I just found that so arrogant You didn't mean it like that. But I got frustrated.

I have never had a problem with you ranting about the game, what turns you off etc, god forbid I do that too when I feel like it. But do not come to talk about balance after playing 2 games. And without knowing what it is like at higher ranks.

@Minion

Yeah I should restrain myself. I either need to find something that plays well for me or get a break from the game.

That said what I really meant with my posts, even if I might've wrote it in a very negative tone, is that I think some of these cards are very badly designed. So it's actually the cards that ruin the game for me, not classes, but I explained it poorly. It's not about how much they are played or about their winrates (supposedly almost every deck in Heartsthone can be teched against). Their mechanics are simply too much, generate too much value or snowball really hard. Imo these cards might be dangerous for the games health in the long run. We will wait and see, but for me the strenght of, for example, Shaman/Priest Quest or even Druid (now that I played it a bit) and Warlock (with Plot Twist) is too obvious... some might like it, but I do definately not.

Got two legendaries in one week!!
Sadly it was Nat Pagel But the other one was Open the vault

btw I love these uldum inspired brawls. I wish they would do it sooner rather than later. More brawls should be inspired by the recent expansion in the start of a new expansion. It is more fun imo.

Whatever they do that is different then Spiders everywhere for the 10th time is better. For me Tavern Brawl is usually "play it to get the pack" affair and nothing more...

I'm enjoying Highlander Hunter nowadays. I must say Highlander decks are really one of the most interesting things the game has to offer and no wonder so many people like them (and thus react positively to support for this type of decks).

I must say, Zephrys may truly be one of the best cards in Hearthstone. The card singlehandedly resolves one of the biggest issues in the game: lack of answers. I mean how many times this card has given me an actual option to save my butt? No longer you need to pray for the right topdeck, and you actually have control over it too if you play him right. This card was designed by some kind of genius!

And you can even tutor him!

I'm speechless. Blizzard, what the hell.
The whole subreddit right now is about long time players quitting Hearthstone. They can't stand for this snow.

What subreddit? The one they made into an "invite only"?

I knew someone would bring this up. I was thinking of commenting on the thing, but guess I don't wanna be called the prime anti-Blizzard person or sth on this board, I still play their game afterall.

Loosing fans? Don't worry, their Chinese money will make it up for them.

@Geny, Blizzard bowed down to their Chinese overlords and banned a HS pro player, Blitzchung, from the tournament and took his prize money for supporting Hong Kong's protests for democracy on stream. Since then it's become an international issue with many parties reacting. From old time players mass deleting their accounts, to senators pointing out Blizzard's subservience to China's communist rulers, to Gods Unchained offering Blitzchung's winnings and an invite to their $500K tournament then getting cyberattacked, to South Park airing an episode where they say "F*** the Chinese government" then issuing a mock apology, to Blizzard's own employees protesting in front of executive offices, etc.

I'm with Blizzard on this one, except probably them firing the casters. Politics and sport events, even esport, should not mix. International sports events should unite people, while international politics will always divide them. Blitzchung overstepped his boundaries and also violated the terms of participation, so Blizzard penalized him. Sure, they also looked better in front of a large chunk of their customers by doing so, but that doesn't make them less right.

Disagree with Geny completely. The fact that is politics, religion, aliens, is entirely irrelevant. Under their own rule, it can mean absolutely anything:

Quote:
2019 HEARTHSTONE® GRANDMASTERS OFFICIAL COMPETITION RULES v1.4   p.12, Section 6.1 (o)

Engaging in any act that, in Blizzard’s sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages Blizzard image will result in removal from Grandmasters and reduction of the player’s prize total to $0 USD, in addition to other remedies which may be provided for under the Handbook and Blizzard’s Website Terms.


The important part is that the whatever act may be (whatever, any act, it's not expressly against politics), it has to bring the player into public disrepute, or be offensive, or somehow damage Blizzard's image by association. The fact that they ruled Blitzchung guilty of any of that because he supported democracy in his own country just boggles my mind. So unless they are actually that dumb to punish someone for supporting democracy (which they might be honestly), they were likely holed into making that call. And who would have the power to coerce and benefit from it? Well, China, duh.

So what Geny says about it being their "no politics" policy being violated, it isn't. It's a very loosely defined act that essentially has to reflect badly on Blizzard, and they said that supporting democracy is one of them.

What adds to the irony of it is how one of their core tenets reads "Every voice matters". Upholding their own values comes second to China money and kissing communist ass. ****ing hypocrites.

Blizzard reduced the penalty and posted an explanation statement, but it seems people don't buy it.

I think to understand the outcry and the PR crisis we need to look at the bigger picture.

Blizzard has been on a bad roll since like a year and a half (not to mention where it all started a few years back, with the Activision takeover, because I think this is the root cause): dropping interest for some of their games, Diablo Immortal crisis, match fixing affair (where they were a "little" less strict), sudden HotS Pro scene closure to name a few incidents and now this China thing, which unfortunately for them coincides with recent events related to China.

People are "hunting" for Blizzards failings, and I can't deny the whole situation has put a smirk on my face...

Descent of Dragons

They actually revealed a lot of cards. The new aspect cards art look... mediocre?
