As a new player... i'm not having fun

How often are there balance patches? I legitimately have very little fun playing the game. It’s either Warrior cheating Mr 4-6 reborn, poison, lifesteal guy and endlessly reviving him, or I die to agro on turn 5 with 0 counterplay.
I’m trying to play the “OP” handbuff paladin deck, but obviously, I’m missing cards, so I’m not playing the perfect version…
I climbed into low gold and I can’t win games anymore…
Whenever I hear: Action. Packed. Perfection. i have to ff because there’s no way to win for me from that point.
Are agro and otk from hand decks the only way to play rn, or what?

That deck is probably not that great for beginners, especially because it goes very late game often; late game is devastating to most paladins if they face a warrior; most classes will laugh at any paladin in late game (the handbuff deck is mostly a “mid-range” deck so it can face anything in complex ways).

Just play aggro paladin for now if you want something else; it’s not the most amazing deck this month (because people got wind that it was OP last month); but it’s a simpler(*or at least faster) deck that will devastate most other fast decks and you can kill warriors before they wipe you (if you get slightly lucky).

There will be a balance patch sometimes this week.

It’s always going to be something in constructed. If you are not having any fun now you will never have any fun ever regardless of what balance patches come out. Today its Warrior doing its things when that gets nerfed it will be something else.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand that there’s a meta and top-tier decks. I know that certain (legendary) cards have powerful effects. But you are limited to 1 copy of a legendary in your deck for a reason. Playing again and again and resurrecting the same card over and over is just a bit too much. I have no problem with Warrior being good. It’s just that 1 card wins the game for them…

Welcome to Hearthstone, we love you, please give us money

Well…
Hearthstone isn’t a reasonable game.

The more you stay here the more you gonna learn that ouro designs in general revolve around breaking rules and many people get annoyed with that.

Also they bursts are kinda common to a point that if you really didn’t like it then you should try another game.
Not trying to tell you what to do. Just the reality of the game.

I don’t think that team 5 has the resources anymore to do much.
I feel like this game is speeding toward maintenance mode as We speak.

As an old player, I’m not having fun either

Actually I take that back. I have fun. But I don’t spend any money and only play homebrew decks whose goal isn’t to win but to be funny and interesting

As a returning player (less than a month) I’ve had fun, reached legendary for the first time ever in Wild and then tonight, through extraordinary bad luck E.T.C Band Manager got burnt through overdraw, I needed to play it get the Steam Cleaner and purge my deck of diseases, 1 in 31 chance. Four games later I needed to purge albatross from my deck and a whole bunch of ‘I win cards’ from the priests deck and he plays my own Gnomferatu against me, 1 in 32 chance. I don’t make a habit of overdrawing but tonight ‘felt’ personal.

I’m done for the day!

the game is rigged and luck based…no matter what deck u play or how good u think u are… you will not climb if the game decides that. it´s simple.
