no idea when i got it to lv 60 but its at 320 wins
(off topic just in case i wasnt running mill druid it was a jungle giant deck)
doesnt playing cards increase exp at least thats what i was told
if you played DH with a deck with low mana curve and card draw maybe thats the reason you got to 60 with less wins
This is likely the culprit right here. I have a tendency to play with my opponents and let the plagues do the killing. I am guessing I’m not getting credit for killing the opponent if I’m not directly causing the kill?
Is this a bug or is it intended behavior?
I may throw this out to reddit to see if Hat has insight.
I feel like you’re meaning to say DH and not DK? DH is only 197 ranked wins but you’re at 60 for a long time and DK is at 53 and has much more wins than DH. Right? That means DH is harder and DK is easier and faster.
It is extremely boring. I played that deck for about a week and couldn’t play it anymore. It’s excruciatingly and mind numbingly boring to play.
Demon hunter: lvl 60, 197 wins. It’s been there for months. I started leveling it first and it took very little time to get up levels.
Death Knight: lvl 54, 307 wins… but I’ve played over 400 games just with this plague deck I’m using, not counting any of the DK play with other decks in the past.
It seems like DK is really, really slow to level. Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know.
Schyla, what has this place done to you? You sound so jaded now.
Ha.
So today when I played games I made sure to get a killing blow on my turn and it seems like the bar moves farther on those games, meaning I think me toying with my prey was slowing down the leveling process like I suspected.
Got it, I think I was just reading and interpreting different.
Not different. I just carefully choose who I engage with now. Our old fun of us going back and forth is long gone. You can’t do that now. You’ll get reported and banned. I’ve had several trolls get on alt accounts and mass report me. Ended up getting a ban for virtually nothing and lost all image posting privileges etc. Really sucks because most of my time posting images were expansion reveals for people here.
There are a record number of trolls on here now. It’s pretty sad what these forums have become. Your high post count could make you a target as well.
I flew to 60 on DH but i also played pretty much nothing but Ilgynoth OTK for months and was very competitive at the time. Dk took a little longer but i am getting close to my 1k wins portrait.
Once you get comfortable with a deck the levels will fly by because you just like playing it and forget about maximizing the points.
The last time I came back, I made a snarky post that wasn’t even directed to a specific poster and it was removed and I was sanctioned. It’s why I don’t come here much anymore.
I’m comfortable with the deck, it’s just taking too long to get levels.
And I can confirm my waiting for the plagues to work was the issue. I will land killing blows now whenever possible.
Yup. it doesn’t even have to be a post directed at anyone at all.
I made a comment that said something like “rig claimers never present video evidence. And if you ask them for it, they don’t respond” almost word for word that. it got reported by several alts and the post was removed because it was “inappropriate”.
And earlier yesterday I got a reply back from a “snarky” poster and I could tell they were likely the culprit. So I reported them because what they said to me directly WAS inappropriate and now their post is removed and hopefully they got a ban.
I have 388 ranked wins with DK now, and have played more than 500 games just with this bad plague deck that I have been spamming to try to finish the levels. I really feel like DK took way longer to rank up than any other class I have played, but I still don’t know why.
It went faster after I started playing all the cards I could and getting killing blows with my minions instead of letting the plagues do the winning.
Another observation: The match making change was huge. After spending a long time stuck at platinum 10 and facing just awful match ups for my deck, the change allowed me to climb all the way to D4 (where I stopped playing while still on a streak of 6 wins!) with little problem.
Today I played the last 18 games at 14-4 for a 78% win rate at D10-4, which I thought was crazy good compared to how difficult that area has been in previous patches. I didn’t see much hyper aggro, either.
Here is the trash deck I used. I don’t think it should be winning that much, but here we are.
If you’re matched by MMR all the time now, it makes zero difference what day of the month it is because you are always playing the same players at all ranks all month.
Under the old system, where you were matched by rank after you ran out of bonus stars, you’re correct, but none of that matters now.
First day, last day, it’s the same MMR players all the time all month long.
I specifically pointed out that the change has had an effect on my matches.
Edit: I went ahead and finished the legend climb. First time I’ve done it in wild. Ended 12-4 including winning seven in a row to finish it out.
