Rogues finding rattle-gores and deep-freeze (steals and copies other classes cards)
Priests having endless card generation and combos…(steals yours cards)
Mage ‘discovering’ a zillion random spells, evocations, Solarian Primes, and 8 drops…
These classes are only viable because of the 50/50 of the RNG within winning them the game.
DH, Hunter, and Paladin are ‘fair’ and predictable classes that are only viable because their power level has been overcompensated to be relevant in this casino meta.
Every other idea or ‘would be’ meta-breaking deck can’t be relevant because the ‘discover’ and ‘rng’ of 3 meta classes would just bully it out with sheer value and unpredictability.
So we’re all stuck in this casino meta.
Play a casino meta class or play an overpowered ‘fair’ and predictable class.
There’s little to no room in hearthstone for anything innovative and therefore the meta is incredibly stale and no one can find anything new to work.
The best you’ll get is a ~50% win-rate which is just the same as the next deck.
Our only hope is to hold out and hope the next expansion can redeem and salvage this dying game and the horrible direction it’s gone in.
0 strategy…just a dice roll of whether you’ll go on a 10 game losing streak or 15 game winning streak from day to day.
I miss the strategy and the skill that used to be in the game…might just quit for a couple years (again) if this next expansion does nothing about the real issues at its core.
“All classes near 50% because RNG and card generation make everything a coin flip.”
Thereafter, excludes all but three classes as being primarily RNG-based. Sorry… I had to point that out.
I nevertheless agree wholeheartedly with you. There is quite a bit to be redeemed, alas. Perhaps, too much for one expansion to fix. A lot of nerfing and editing is required.
The problem with arena is that the only people playing it at the moment are very experienced arena players so someone wading into arena for some casual fun while waiting for the next expansion is gonna get steamrolled
I have to agree.
They already exploited the duel class
Best arena class now is
priest- rogue
rogue-mage
I dont think that you would suck.
I belive you have quite an experiance since you hit the legend few times.
Normal arena will reset in 3 days so do your research and try it out.
It can be very prifitable.
Just dont get too addictive like me. I spend my every gold coin on it.
How about giving something viable to those classes that doesnt rely on RNG so they actually get consistent wins like in the old days.
Just a crazy idea.
But wouldn’t that be a good thing? You would want at best that everything has an about 50% winrate. Is that really the case though? I’m not so sure. I personally just really like the RNG and card generation. It’s not that much of a “coin flip” in my opinion. You still have to make a lot of relevant decisions but maybe in a different way than you would do without all the RNG and card generation. I still think the best solution in this regard would be custom modes where people could for example ban all the RNG and card generation stuff. Because I would want even more of it which in custom modes we also might have some silly option like “Wonderous Wisdomball is always in effect for both players”.
ben brode said years ago and it has been repeated by blizz multiple times, their goal is to keep you at 50% winrates so youll always have someone to be matched with.
and how exactly do they do that? well they say by matching you with an appropriate mmr opponent to attain that 50% goal but in reality we all know youre just matched with someone who counters you hard and will get a better draw. its simple.
Sorry… I had to point that out.
