Academic espionage and rng is ruining this game

Just got boom master flark’d twice in one game by a rogue because rng. Also, cards from AE costing 1 is crap. Frequently they play AE, draw a ton of cards and then it’s game over as the board is flooded with 1 mana 8/8s or some other over powered crap. Reason I quit playing hearthstone, guess I’ll see ya in another year after the rotation. Might be a playable game again.

Another person with True Sight! You sir are gifted. But be prepared to be hit by tinfoil naysayer crowd.

Oh this doesn’t happen. No its rare that all the cream comes to the top after playing AE. Oh you just had bad luck. This game is random even though the same thing happens over and over and over again in the same manner. No no, totally random even though you can see an obvious pattern.

Thats why there are so many AE Rogues. Because its SO RELIABLE! Got my Spectral Weapon I can stay afloat. Play my AE. Now draw my cards midgame and win! If I didn’t win by the legends it levies me I play Tess! Now I win by 10.

That’s just it, no matter what card they get, no matter how random, it’s worth more than one mana. Getting to do anything more than play a 1 mana ability or minion for 1 mana is crazy, let alone 10 times. Not to mention that’s 10 durability for their weapon with lifesteal. Might as well quit when I see a rogue playing AE, game over already.

Yep played against another AE Rogue but this one had the new Archmage Vargoth on turn 4 of course. Did AE twice has over 60 cards in his deck but yet had

YES DK VALEERA ON TURN 9!!

Of course you did Mr Rogue. What else would you have on turn 9. Mr Rogue also had 2 Vanishes in a 60 card deck to keep sending my 4 copies of Vargoth back to my hand. Of course you did Mr Rogue. Mr Rogue also had to give you weapon poison blade so Spectral Cutlass could do 6 lifesteal a pop. In a 60 card deck, granted Valeera may have gave him an extra 1 or 2 and the free legend they get with every AE play placed on top was Zerek, Master Cloner. Not the greatest but still that AE grants free to the top legendary after playing it.

Of note Blink Fox on 3 automatic and Shiney Finder in opening hand.

This is why I watch something entertaining while patternstone does its thing and I just let the rope burn. Its a game you can let run and not pay attention to.

Yes, Activision-Blizzard, a global multimillion dollar company, has conspired to make you lose hearthstone matches for no apparent monetary benefit.

Or, you behave like a rational free-thinking adult, and realize that hearthstone is a game heavily dependent on random elements and that sometimes you lose for reasons beyond your control.

That’s your choice, use your brain, or assume that a you’re losing at a videogame because of a massive completely unprovable conspiracy,

I love AE Rogue. Especially the salt it brings.

Yeah theft cards are Amazing (and discover)

Playing vs a AE Rogue just typical Hallucinations 2 in under 6 cards, Blink Fox. How you would like a 5/5 Ancient one that cost 1 on turn 4? Yes Please.

How would you like Ixlid? One of your many legendary cards you will receive from theft? Yes Please. How about living mana? Thank You! How about a nice Taunt minion to go with that now? Awesome! ow the RNG flip flops back and forth between the perfect theft card and the perfect Rogue card to play.

Oh what deck are you playing by the way? Just a casual deck trying to play 50 Merlocs for the daily.

Salt brings Salt though. Its why I began roping months ago and started watching TV, Twitch, Netflix etc instead. I figure it must be how Blizzard wants their game. Sucky. So I make it sucky as possible.

Ya I never just play hearthstone unless there is a push for legend which i haven’t done in months. Most of the time the last few months I’ve just been rewatching the Marvel phases before the 26th while playing. Just chill. Ill push to legend again the first few months after expansion and then start to meme. Just a good timekiller.

Constant Rogue whiners are ruining the game. Same happened with KB;

“Oh nuuu, a Rogue deck might get past tier 3 for once, needs nerf quick!!!”

Yeah SO reliable with that 40% winrate espionage rogue has going on.

doesnt matter if you wait 1 year…or more…the game will still me crap…get used to it. This game is like playing in a casino…pure gamble.

What are you smoking? Kingsbane was dominating, everywhere. To the point where it came down to a question of, “Well yeah, but can it beat Kingsbane?” Which limited the deck building options, harming the overall quality of the product.

Why aren’t you sharing what you’re smoking? Why didn’t you share during the Kingsbane reign?! That would have made it a lot more bearable!

No, it wasn’t. It was barely tier 2. You can go check any historical rankings if you want. Its been a long time tradition to make Rogue look better than what it actually is.

(replace *** with com)

There, Meta rankings during the peak of Kingsbane’s popularity (right before the nerf). At the bottom of tier 2 as I told you.

“Kingsbane was dominating everywhere” yeah, ok buddy. Thats why it had below 50% winrate overall?

What really happened is that you read bunch of forum whinings about KB and jumped to the conclusion that Kinsgbane is an unbeatable god deck without actually testing it yourself.

THIS GAME IS F#^@%$ RIGGED. Bottom line. I can’t believe I still try to give it shot every few weeks. The RNG is BEYOND ridiculous. Win one game using meta decks, lose 5, win 2 or 3 in a row with another deck, guess what, lose 5 more. Rince and repeat. UNBELIEVABLE. There is no defending it anymore I’m done. F*@& you Activision Blizzard, serioulsy go f#%$ yourselves, you and your piece of s#%@ design to lure customers and turn them into paying gamblers. The only way to keep you playing more is to give you the IMPRESSION you’re winning by then turning the game against you so you buy more packs. You have made enough f#%$@^ money with me.

You made it sound so awesome! So I put one together and can only win about 1 in 20 games - it’s really that useless - could never be competitive :man_facepalming:t2:

just quit this game sucks now Everything is zoo, life steal and there no skills require. Only thing they care is your money. So they continue to make broken cards. Vote with your wallet show them you are in charge not them. The dev team needs to be punish for their failures. Make them suffer.

The only deck I use right now is AE Rogue. I use the lifesteal weapon but don’t rely too heavily on it since there is so much weapon removal at the moment. I’ve said it before but a very satisfying combo is to mostly empty your hand and Prep, Tak Nozwhisker, AE.

I can attest I win far less than 50% with this deck because 1 mana make your minions summon murlocs or 1 mana summon a beast from your hand or 1 mana gain 1 mana this turn only are hardly game-changers… but sometimes I get a handful of 1 mana Kalecgos and Pyroblasts. That’s what makes it fun.

What’s not fun is filling your board with 1/1’s or 2/2’s and savage roar / bloodlust, double-double inner-fire that 3/12 you resurrected for the third time. Or playing the cards as they come to your hand when playing a deck you found on Google.

But RNG is the whole basis of the game, the card you get next is random, how can you get away from that? The only way would be being able to see your entire deck and select the card you want to play which would be awful.

100% agree with this
