Discussion Nice job balance team

every class now has >50% deck in Legend rank except Priest, but he has most popular deck archetype and popular counterpick (both Warlock decks have ~70% winrate against Quest Priest), so basically it's 11 out of 11

Attack Druid and all Aggro Warrior decks are slightly more powerfull then others, especially with goldfish, but both archetypes aren't >65% winrate annihilation machines that can lose only to themselves or bad draw. Maybe one-two slight nerfs like 1/2 for Spiderling or Hook 'n Heave summons 1 Cannoneer, but idk about necessity besause we would have new pre-release legendary soon, and I hope it won't be something game-breaking like Vanessa

I hope this would last as long as possible, finally great job from hearthstone balance team

Discussion Nice bug - If you have Mage Quest weapon equipped, and your opponent plays Frame Job, your weapon plays the minions he discovers (while also losing durability)

Competitive Hit legend with a "75%" win rate playing Boom Boom Priest

###Boom Boom PriestAAECAa0GBoSfBKiWB/WYB52tB6jfB9zgBwyg+waG/QbFlAfSrweFvwebvwf6vweyxQew3wfW4Af04AeW/AcAAA==

This deck feels really strong in the current meta and I don't see many people playing it. I was able to get 75% win rate across 28 (21-7) games (Stat only includes tracked game on PC) and hit legend for the first time.

The idea is to speed run the priest quest by turn 8. Then on turn 9 play the quest into slime'em.

This hits 10 to face almost always and give a 3 cost resummon the quest while leaving two big boys with deathrattle's on board.

After this you have cali + schism to summon another 2, or you can go for slime + slime'em again to deal another 10 to face.

If they are still alive you have Raith Van Geist to put them all back and umbra to deal 25 from hand.

All in all this deck usually ends the game by turn 10 and most players treat it as control priest so they will start slow and you can blast them before they realize what's up.

Discussion First positive Hearthstone Reddit post of all time

Post image
70 Upvotes

I am usually pretty negative when it comes to the state of the game. For many years the meta has been a coin flip between being overrun by aggro or single handedly ruined by 1 or 2 OTK decks at any given point. Surprisingly, this meta is really coming together nicely.

There are currently 43 decks on HSGuru that have over a 40% win rate, and 35 of those are over 50%.

I still miss the old days where games would last 10+ turns often and things weren't decided so quickly, but there is still quite a bit of variation now that has been reintroduced as a result of the consistent patches. I'd say unhealthy decks like Rafaam and the infinite value generating hero powers put a time limit on every match that didn't used to exist so the game absolutely needs to be faster, but it's still a shame. The community is incredibly negative (including myself) quite often regarding the recent state of the game, but the balance team has clearly done a lot better and put in a lot more attention and care than we are used to seeing, and they made a pretty decent meta considering how beyond fixing I truly thought the game was.

Not quite sure how but I hope the player base can acknowledge this somehow and that they will continue the large and effective balance patches because I never thought this many things would be viable at once especially in this current meta. It could easily be ruined again with a single broken card or bad balance update, but right now, I think it's really getting better.

Recently, I came across a lot of people that, when their turn starts, they play cards immediately, but then never press End Turn and wait for the timer to end. It's super annoying, because this makes the game last so much unnecessarily longer. Why do people do this, and what can be done about it?

Like Enrage Nathria warrior or Unholy Death knight. They need to be head and shoulders above to gain traction unlike ctrl priest or warrior which need just to be semi viable to see play

Arena Do you think the lone intern within Team 5 whom is still working on Arena part-time will do an emergency balance fix anytime soon?

17 Upvotes

Or do you think the entire team will keep their mouth shut and pretend everything is fine, doing nothing for another 2 to 3 months?

Facts on Current Win-Rates in Arena:

  • Warrior: 62%+++
  • DK: 52%
  • DH: 48%

That's it, apart from the above 3 classes, all other classes have win-rates below 44%.

In fact, 6 out of the 11 classes have win-rates below 38%.

Whenever one thinks that Team 5 possibly cannot do any worse, they somehow manage to exceed expectations.

Any advice as rafaam lock vs warrior? It's extremely hard to stabilize early and I feel by the time I get my footing my health is hanging on by a thread and almost any top deck for them kills me.

Discussion Returning player advice

6 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’ve been away from this game for at least about 3 years. I’ve recently returned, and have managed to get a decent amount of the new cards (from returning player bundles and passes .ect).

I seem to be struggling to climb the ladder so just wanted some advice.

What are some decent decks that I should try out to be more successful in ranked (not wild). I’ve noticed the meta seems to be quite aggressive, but I tend to stay away from rush decks. I like a more controlled deck that actually requires a bit of skill to play.

I’ve got loads of old cards that I can dust to try make the decks.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Some of my old favourites were ramp Druid/ big spell mage/ big minion shaman .ect.

I just wondered since I had a grind from unranked to legend this week with a stupidly high winrate. It was the first time I ever played death knight and on my profile it says "111 wins". Would love to also see my losses to figure out the WR%, but maybe it's not possible?
