I wish Duels started with random or drafted decks or something. I want it to be a casual mode where you get wacky powers and make fun decks and see what happens, whereas instead it's more like "You need to exactly tailor your deck to the hero power and use this specific questline because it's magnified OP with these duels powers or you might as well just go gently caress yourself."

Yeah. In retrospect, the Duels hype died so fast because it got optimized so much faster than people expected. Something to de-optimize it would be nice.

Also EU goons maybe hit me up with a friend request, I have a watch a friend win quest but it seems like everyone on my friend list has abandoned HS. Rip.

I'm seeing it a lot less. yeah the druid decks that are popular in Wild right now really hard counter it, and quest hunter / even Warlock / ignite mage are pretty even against it. It's getting tougher for the quest warriors in Wild right now. I think alot of Wild players still want to see the deck go away, because despite being countered by some particular strategies it is the singular thing that is really keeping down alot of slower paced decks.

To be fair, a lot of the problems with Duels are because it was left to die on the vine. A few minor balance changes (ban Mr Smite and Embrace the Shadows, buffs for the bad treasures) and it would be amazing. I'd love something similar to the old Magic drafts where everyone cracks a pack, picks a card, and passes the rest to the right. There was a lot of skill involved in reading the packs, balancing your curve and colors, etc. but no idea how that could get translated to Hearthstone.

It could work in Hearthstone if they ever get that fabled tournament mode up and running. I fear it has died a death though, killed by Mercs and Battleground.

Update on mercenaries: It seems like they've totally shut off bots in PvP. Team comp and rating level seem to have no effect on it. It could still be connected to hidden MMR but I doubt it. Even at 3-5 minutes in queue it wont put me into a bot game. I also opened a merc pack that I had in reserve for fun and got an epic portrait. I don't have every epic merc so I shouldn't have gotten it, right? Well, I do have enough coins to craft all the epics I don't have. So it seems like that's being taken into account for whether or not you have them, which is pretty annoying.

The fun is really gonna start when they put out brand new top tier merc legendary, cause so much of the f2p passive coin accumulation has dried up from people already levelling up all their mercs and getting random quest coins, starting from 0 again for a legendary and the only source of coins being tacked on as an unappealing and grind discouraging lv30+ Bounty is gonna stop a lot of people bothering to keep up. Like I cannot see how they expect to just keep adding to the pool of mercs without issue, there’s just no way to get new merc coins efficiently

It seems that much like Duels they released an unfinished game mode that no one put nearly enough time or thought into prior to shoveling it out the door. I am still choked that I blew like 400 gold on those stupid buildings for a game mode I played for all of 2 hours (maybe).

NorgLyle posted:and PvP in the game they created doesn't make any sense. ? Mercs PvP is the ultimate endgame goal, and is actually pretty interesting. The meta has continued to evolve on a semi-weekly basis, and the decision trees and calculation on Turns 2+ have good depth. Add in a tournament scene that is budding (I believe the first Open Cup equivalent on Battlefy is next weekend) and already this looks much better than a dud like Duels.

I mean, until they added Gnolls all Maestra did was make people mulligan wrong and cause neutral cards like Wandmaker to give you off-class cards. The deck's powerful, but the problem is that they overtuned the "reward you for having cards that aren't from your class" payoffs for how easy it is with her.

vS Data Reaper Report #218quote:If you thought Thief Rogue was an oppressive tyrant, look at what Poison Rogue is doing to the rest of the field by just existing at a 13% play rate at top legend (which is quickly rising every day). It is absolutely destroying the format, sinking supposedly strong and competitive decks into Tier 3, while weaker decks are sunk into unplayability. There are only two non-Rogue decks at top legend displaying positive win rates. If Poison Rogue is left alone to run amok for another week or two with this new build, the game might uninstall itself from everyone’s devices.

That "Give Your Hero Stealth" card needs to die. You just do that, use Scabbs and you've basically won the game.

I crafted gold Scabbs at the start of the expansion and pulled a duplicate from free packs later since I already had all the cards by then. Which I snap dusted. I'm starting to feel really silly about that decision.

Having one card that keeps you guaranteed alive for a turn is fine. Having two is a bit worrisome, but workable. Having three, and the only expensive one also summons two meaningful and evasive bodies, is decidedly not OK.

You'll notice that the classes who can't turbo through their entire deck by 5 aren't played right now which are warrior, priest and hunter (you see them, but they are merely disguises) DH, lock and druid have better card draw but they aren't poison rogue or Mozaki mage I've checked out until balance changes because poison rogue mirrors which boil down to 'who managed to draw and play both cloaks' are insanely boring and bad e: also whatever they do to rogue they also need to carefully look at mage since any rogue nerfs just make Mozaki mage the strongest most uninteractive deck in the format
