The thing about old yogg is that the power level is waaaay higher now in general. Clearing a board and summoning a few minions and drawing a card was absolutely devastating back then, you actually couldn't do it on 10 mana without yogg.

Control warrior was only hard to pilot for control warrior players As I understand it Grim Patron was infamous in part because 30% of the time you had to play it like a tempo deck where you just made patrons on 5 and nobody below high ranks really understood that (twitch wasn't as big back then) so you'd get these preposterous splits between low rank winrate and high rank winrate which made it the stuff of legends. But yeah GP had a lot of whirlwind effects and sequencing on top of that which made it extra extra hard, and frothing math was unbelievably complicated.

Vashj seems weak, maiev seems potentially good (you get the minion which is pretty sick), kael'thas seems op.

it's kind of funny that after watching HS, Eternal, and now MTG try over and over with deckbuilding restriction cards often with disastrous results none of them were as fun or balanced within the meta as the OG Reno Jackson. Zephrys is the only competition.

It was fringe enough to do with Reno and imo Zephrys because what they do vs aggro is so important so I'm ok with those. With DQ Alex it becomes a real consideration and IMO in a perfect world she specifically would be a start of game check (having multiple mechanics is kind of confusing for players so I can see why they didn't do it).

Golden brann and a single primalfin gets way out of hand almost immediately. Definitely tests your apm pretty hard. Sounds like they nutted out and rolled multiple primalfins on top of it.

The devs like it when cards generate themselves a lot of people think it is funny/epic and it gets upvoted on reddit because internet types are insane about the concept of recursion for some reason. DQ alex was a special case because it was just too op.

The new powers are so cool! I'll admit - I kind of liked the game better pre-dragons and would have preferred an attempt to have it balanced around 4/6 tribes instead of 5/6. But I haven't thought about it hard enough, my guess is minion distribution would become too volatile.

The point of RNG was never to let "bad players win". Outside of arena matchmaking is enforced with an iron fist in HS, even more so after the ranked rework. Cards have random effects a.) so that matchups are less polarized, b.) so that late game between decks isn't completely solved, c.) so that you often have some obscure out to play for when you're behind, and d.) highrolling feels good. I play Runeterra over HS these days but I tend to go straight to the RNG cards in that game (I do the same for other CCGs).

Agreed. I don't find "competition" fun, I like doing cool things. When a broken weapon is added to the pool of a battle royale it's so that players get to take turns doing the cool thing, not to "diffuse responsibility". In 1v1 games countering your opponent's strategy is exactly as productive as furthering your own strategy, which turns a lot of people off. One of the things that made autochess so popular is that its 8 player system and random matchmaking forces each player to develop their own board instead of disrupting their opponent's strategy (outside of the final 1v1). The "diffusion of responsibility" meme is huge on SA for some reason.

Everyone except me buys into "diffusion of responsibility" and "having something else to blame" motivating the move away from 1v1?

There's a huge difference between trying your hardest at something that's winnable 100% of the time by the best player in the world and something that's winnable 65% of the time by the best player in the world. You have to be made of ice to give it your all when 35% of the time it turns out you never had a chance.

Fun concept. Would be much stronger non-legendary because it basically wants you to build around only expensive spells then get a cheap spell into your hand via minion-based card generation.

It means "this effect is too obnoxious to be as generically powerful as it is". That's how card game designers decide which cards should be over and under statted.
