The voice lines of the new heroes: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/331...restor-and-more They’re still giving heroes Sorry emotes, wonder if they’ll ever put that back in or if it’s solely for the Noggenfogger Easter egg.

Wild Painlock is going to be the best deck in the game even harder. It'll activate Demon Seed absurdly fast. Edit: Unlicensed Apothecary for reach and even quicker activation Olpainless fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Jul 2, 2021 |

Finally got around to doing the ??? achievement and holy poo poo these puzzles are convoluted. The clues for starting the puzzles are fine and make sense but the actual puzzles are really, really obtuse. I wanted to try to solve them myself but they don't even explain the rules. The Hunter one in particular is amazingly awful and some Chinese players had to write an algorithm to solve it. Overall, cool concept but good god Blizzard. The Warrior one is really the only puzzle most players can solve on their own(if you figure out the rules), the Druid one is sort of possible to solve on your own but it'll take loving forever, and the Hunter and Rogue ones are nearly impossible. The cardback looks rad at least. RatHat fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Jul 2, 2021 |

Is that a guess or do you have a source? My own speculation: the end of month rewards are for the next expansion so I expect it to release before then.

In the absence of an announcement (which it sounds like we did not get) the last four years' summer releases were all in August - the 6th, 6th, 7th, and 10th going from 2020->2016. edit: oh, it looks like the wiki says the 3rd, but... it points to the Blizzard HS site though and I cannot find a date publicized there, so maybe that's not 100%? orangelex44 fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Jul 3, 2021 |

The only game I ever won was because I got to be C'thun, the first monster I picked was that pink guy that gets +2\2 for every demon in your hand, and then the game was nice enough to deal me nothing but demons. I attempted the same trick another time, and never got a single demon. Some heroes are RIDICULOUSLY overpowered, some are just utterly useless, combined with ridiculous RNG... I do find the game mode quite fun, but man you can get absolutely hosed by RNG.

I was totally lost on BG until I watched some tournament that was casted on YT in January and listened to some people tell me what the hell was actually happening and then it made a bit more sense. I'm still rear end at it, but at least I understand why I lose now.

My usual BG strategy is 1 turn - aim for a unit that makes a token. Otherwise go best stats 2 turn - tier up 3 turn - sell a token and buy two minions. Still aim for best stats. 4 turn - buy two minions. 5 turn - buy a minion and tier up. Tier 3 is where you might find some decent minions that can point you in a direction. Otherwise aim for economy based minions until you find a focus.

If you don't get a token turn 1 and don't roll into one by turn 3 (and you don't have a hero power that can make up for it) then you either sell your first minion and get two better ones, pick something (or try and roll into something) to go alongside your first minion or go for broke and sell your minion and go up to tier 3 very early (will cost you 5-7 health usually).

The two prevailing BG strats are: • Sit on T4 hoovering up strong tempo units (divine shields, taunt comp) and tripling into 5s. • Bust up to T6 very early with an econ hero and get direction/power there (specifically Kalecgos/Goldrinn/Eliza/Flattusk) You almost never want to be sitting on T3 or T5. T3s are completely outclassed almost immediately, and T5s are generally things you need 1 of (Brann/Baron/Aggem/Lightfang/Hogger/Mythrax/Nomi), so you just triple into them. 5 and 6 have way more misses than hits, so you need to be targeting a big power/direction shift on 6 before you make the decision to leave 4. There's also no "1 curve". There's the incredibly basic buy/level/buy/buy/level mentioned above, but it's also going to come down to what hero you have and how much economy (tokens/swabbies/etc.) you got. Also, learning to not immediately smash your triples and to save them through strategic freezing and leveling so you triple into a 5/6 is really important and something new players almost always get wrong. I'd be glad to help people work through their BG strats, even if I'm soured on the current meta, but it's not the sort of thing where you can just look at a final comp and evaluate, because there's like 500 decisions to make every lobby, and getting a couple wrong in the mid-game is the difference between going out in last and going out in first.

skaboomizzy posted:I broke 4000 which is I guess a rank floor and I've been stuck between that and 4100 for weeks now. • From 2000 MMR to 6000 MMR, there's a visible MMR floor every 500 MR. • You can't lose visible MMR below 2000. • Hidden MMR is never floored or reset. • An extra MMR boost is applied when your visible MMR after every game, regardless of result. So, just playing a bunch will get you to 6500, pretty quickly. Everything below 10k MMR is basically a free-for-all because people can party up. There's little practical difference between a 3000 MMR lobby and an 8000 MMR lobby.

You’re playing games on the Internet in 2021. If there’s an exploitative, lovely, cheating or just plain arsehole way to do something in a game, even if it makes the experience negative for everyone including the user in the long run, not only is a huge number of people doing it, a number of people are monetising doing it in streams and advocating it to others. (I mean, still, don’t do it, don’t contribute to the problem, but also you’re pissing in the ocean to keep back the tide.)

There’s a mechanical problem with the game there too - they can put cool Strats worth drafting in that aren’t Tribe related (anything Macaw is an example of this) but they’re by definition always more weak to the way the drafting works in BG - you can get just plowed by the game telling you to go gently caress yourself a few turns later. They like the idea, obviously, they keep making them, but the basic system doesn’t actually support them over either STATS STATS STATS or the gimmick of one of the Tribe enablers.

You also have 'viable' builds that require a ton of moving parts and can only be pulled off 1 in every 100 games if that (looking at you Beasts  )
