In a way I’m not aloud to complain because the deck I play is a “fair” no mana cheat legendary paladin deck so I have my own list of crazy value I can get but it’s nothing you can’t see coming or play around. The reason I made this post is because I just played against an Elwynn boar Druid who had every card they needed filling their board with 3/3 boars until the 7th finally died. I was cool with that after dealing with the ridiculous rogue weapons before the nerf a 15/3 weapon turn 7/8 seemed playable around especially since I had an acidic swamp ooze in hand but of course it had the added effect of putting me back to 1 mana essentially tying my hands behind my back so they could hit me for 30 to face with no response. My rant is just more on the fact that so many cards seem like they would easily be balanced if not for just one thing like cards not having “no less than one”. Another minute example is the DK weapon that’s a 2/2 deal 2 damage to the enemy hero (I understand DK is not strong to begin with) but everything screams to me that that card should be 2 mana. Lastly my deck got screwed by the Renathal nerf too and now I can’t decide how to make my deck work at 30 cards so #35/40 gang.
If everything is broken nothing is and its balanced…
In physics, there are 2 types of equilibrium, a stable equilibrium and a metastable equilibrium.
A similar idea can be applied to hearthstone. If the game is a hard rock paper scissor, you can still achieve equilibrium. If you’re rock, you lose hard against paper, win hard against scissor and it’s a 50/50 in the mirror. But you can achieve roughly 50% winrate, it’s just a matter that in certain games you never had a chance, and other games are auto pilot to victory.
Now, the other equilibrium is when no strategy has a definitive advantage on the other. You may have a slight upper hand, but game can go either way. In this meta, you can also achieve around 50% winrate, but every game is up to grab
You you tell me, which equilibrium should hearthstone thrives to achieve?
But it isnt. Control is not broken. Only OTK and Aggro
That because they are broken lol. I just came from a game where mage freeze my board for 5 turns.
Aggro is not broken right now. Shaman and Frost DK are curb stomping them at the moment, two of the highest played decks.
