I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS!!! one of the WORST THINGS YOU GUYS HAVE EVER DONE!!!
Anoonmalies HAVE NO PLACE IN RANKED!!!
WE have already established that if players want to play these dumb anmolie cards in ranked they put the anonmoly minon in their deack and when they are matched up with someone else who also has it… they can anomoly themselves to death.
But the majority of us from what I have seen Thing this is a bunch of garbage that has no place in Ranked!!!
So yall were fine with Baku and Glenn and 3 other obnoxious start of game effects (Dark envoy, Prince Malchezar, Prince Renehal, C’thun the shattered) minimum every round but purple stuff is where you draw the line? I wouldn’t be as confused if I didn’t see people getting angry over the nothing modifiers like “your eyes deceive you”
Not sure what exactly you’re referring to by the “other 3 start of game effects”. But there is nothing rng about baku/genn/reno etc. You either build a deck for it or you know exactly what you’re playing against. it’s not even close to the same.
Anomalies are big RNG that can suddenly give a big boost to you or your opponent just because lulz. One game your deck works normal, next game you pull some anomaly that supercharges you while screwing opponent and you crush the opponent, 3rd game the opposite happens and you get crushed. I guess if you like big flashy outcomes it might be fun, but for anyone interested in planning and strategy it’s just a terrible pointless layer of forced rng that has no place in ranked standard.
Cho’Gall, Nozdormu… Don’t remember if there’s anything else of this kind.
Cho’Gall has a 50% chance to activate an anomaly. And only if you/opponent runs it in the deck so it’s quite rare. It’s not forced on everyone in every game. i’d even be ok with him having a 100% effect for the people who want it so long as it’s not a blanket thing. Nozdormu is even more rare as both players need to run it and there is nothing rng about it either - just need to play faster.
If someone wants to put chogall in their deck for a chance at an anomaly that’s fine, because putting that card in their deck disadvantages them in exchange for an RNG effect, and it’s only 50%. Noz doesn’t do anything because it requires both players to have it.
I’d be fine with it if the event was chogall’s effect rate was 100% for the week, because at top 100 - 200 legend nobody would run it anyway so I don’t need to see it.
yeah sorry i can’t learn new classes and decks AND deal with the changing start conditions. I will have to put those away. If there is a time limit i missed, i would STRONGLY consider taking a break for that time frame.
still don’t know why this is in standard.
if there was a casual standard, i would have a better time learning, instead of with all the meme wild decks that are in casual.
Just close this bulls… game where you only listen to your precious elite players and your preferred streamers.
Your matchmaking is now total garbage and your lead designer is an jacka…
Anomalies ARE PURE GARBAGE!!! And should have never been put into RANKED!!!
Anomalies are awesome and fun and I would like to see them more often
The worst! I’m done until they go back to normal. It is a game that continues because the players enjoy playing against each other. Stop trying to mess with what works because then you’ll really be scrambling, like in your other franchises.
If you’re going to force this garbage gameplay on us, the very least you can do is allow us to pick which anonolie we have to suffer through.
its ranked
games are supposed to be a bit challenging
it was obvious we loved it …for a week
Terrible idea, terrible implementation. Just another player that can’t play regular HS for a week now, made even worse by the removal of Duels (the only mode I actually liked outside of Battlegrounds) Are you guys trying to ruin your business? Is HS making any money at all on pack sales and bundles during this horrendous week? Does 4 likes vs 74 posts not concern the devs on their own forums?
They have access to more relevant data.
Queued into a game against a Baku warrior who had a 1 mana hero power, I didn’t bother playing and just conceded on the spot. Anomalies are trash tier.
I agree with you, in that all the people whining about anomalies are people that just cannot handle a regular match of hearthstone, one in which there is a challenge involved you cant plan against or build a deck against to nullify. Just a layer of difficulty that many people are so triggered by they have to let the world know they despise any amount of difficulty variances. Im reminded of a bunch of little Vegetas with some entitled attitudes when confronted by their first Goku. lol. Its fun, its variety, no one said you had to enjoy it, but its encouraged you not be such stick in the muds.
Does 4 likes vs 74 posts not concern the devs on their own forums?
probably because posts on reddit with hundreds of likes from people who like the this week event …
for example
“TWO ANOMALIES WITH CHO’GALL IS BACK BABYYYYY” has 346 likes
I played it a little. I don’t get the “minion/spells are one off” often if at all. Every other one is pretty much just fun.
