Ive been playing since the closed Beta, ive seen it all, ive played it all, ive been thru all of it. Somehow ive always maintained a generally optimistic/positive outlook on the game no matter what state it happened to be in at any point over these past 10 years likely cuz i realize its an ever evolving game. Change is good & a sign of a healthy game- if there is something you hate in game, no worries 'cuz it wont be long before it passes.
that said… i just played this brawl w/ new exp cards & find myself squinting in side-eyed disbelief at the absurd level of ridic BS that shammys are playing with. At the end of turn 7 not only has he shuffled the volcanic explosions into my deck & 2 random bombs from a minion on the board, they also managed to put 48 asteroids into his own deck & is playing for extra card draw… This is idiotic card design & astonishing to me that mechanics like this have even made it into live gameplay. Truly your QA testing team is either incompetent or more likely just non-existant unless they’re pushing some agenda around any oversight committee for these types of mechanics to make it into the game. it wasn’t some fluke either as 3 of 5 games went roughly the same way- all shaman, all repeat battlecry 3 times, all shuffle 5 asteroids in. Honestly i was shocked to make it to turn 7 since 30 of them were already put into his deck by turn 5, turn 6 didn’t draw one, turn 7 drew 3 before caughing a break, turn 8 drew asteroids till my board had been cleared and to my face till dead. This was a considerably less than stellar first impression of the new exp. The first time it was surprising, the second time it was obnoxious & by the third time i was disgusted & completely turned off to the thought of even bothering to waste any more of my time by continuing to play & certainly was not going to waste in-game resources to buy another round of this entirely UNFUN brawl. i didnt even get to check out how the few new cards i owned & tried building my deck around played like as the matches were over so quickly.
For the first time i legit wondered if the devs were actually trolling the community w/ this obnoxious BS… so, WELL PLAYED i guess. i may have finally hit that point where i just can’t with this game anymore.
YAY!
I dunno how you’ve managed it, perhaps you haven’t looked at any trends and direction in which the game has been going.
