Seriously. When facing Curselock, you’re forced into playing in a way that goes counter to what Hearthstone is supposed to play like.
I was playing as a Beast Hunter vs Curselock. We both had full hands. And I only won by using Emergency maneuvers with my King Krush. All the other cards in my deck were either useless or detrimental against Curselock.
Really devs, is this your gameplay philosophy for Warlock in the foreseeable future? To make Warlock an uninteractive class? What happened to fighting for board control? What happened to Zoolock and Demonlock? It’s frustrating beyond belief to face Curselocks
Guess hunters are really just used to smorcing their way to victory and don’t like anything that slows down the ability to smorc smorc and smash face…heaven forbid you need to spend 2 mana to get rid of a card so you don’t die. Seriously, curse lock is a mediocre deck to play. You lost a game, deal with it. If you want to punish those mean old uninteractive warlocks play quest hunter against them like 99% of all hunters. You really won’t see much sympathy on the boards as a hunter.
VS described it as, “Like Tickatus Warlock, but good”.
Negative skill ceiling
Off board win condition
Low Rank players spam it like crazy
It gets demolished at high Ranks
It’s pushing other slow decks to speed up (Druid using Celestial and Warrior using Galvangar instead of Kazakuzan)
I predict that if people keep spamming it, one of the buffs will be reverted. But it’s way, way, too early to tell. People might just stop playing this latest brainless (as indicated statistically) deck.
Just do as I do, and when a Stormwind quest appears just concede and move on. I like to think they have the daily quest to complete a stormwind questline and I am denying them that accomplishment by taking the L for the match.
I just wont play against these decks in wild as they just arent an entertaining waste of my time like a a normal self made non netdeck is. If I end up taking the L 3 matches in a row I know its just that time of day that the boring people are playing and Ill go to bgs or start a duel run.
I just refuse to engage with stormwind questline players in wild. (I dont play standard at all). For me, questliners should only be paired against questliners. Solitaire players shouldnt benefit from playing against non solitaire players. It isnt entertaining for me to watch a predictable outcome over and over.
I have a hard time getting behind ANY deck that makes players want to playing Celestial Alignment more. That card needs just removed from the game entirely and not because i think its like super dominant, which it isn’t. It’s just a horrible card to play against and creates a massive negative play experience each time it’s played.
