lol wow. Who would think that a card game came down the luck of the draw. Almost as if…… every single card game in existence ever made has come down to luck of the draw.
Go play poker or blackjack or solitaire if you dislike luck if the draw. Oh wait….
I don’t think so, now that i finished the 10th anniversary event i’ll stop to play for a while precisely because i saw too many OP decks with OP cards.
You can’t even play for fun and i no longer can say “Well played” when i lose but only “cheater” because of such cards. Call me a sore loser all you want, but at the moment you don’t have fun, it’s better to quit.
Your argument makes 0 sense if you’re including poker. Luck of card draw doesn’t matter because there are other variables to win a hand. Might want to edit your post.
No there isn’t. Poker is literally won by luck of the card draw.
Can you win by making the opponent think you have cards you don’t? Yes. But you can also do that in hearthstone. I have made so many people quit when I start my combo and I don’t even have the final card for it.
So again. Hearthstone, just like poker and all card game, rely on luck of the draw.
Blizzard banned based on a certain number of reports, given the toxic community on this game, it signals anything and everything, results you have innocent players banned.
It’s not me who says it but the COC blizzard, he admits their shameful and fraudulent banning system.
Totally man. I have played this game since inception. I only play wild mainly now because standard is too boring and same same. But Wild is a part of the game and its out of control. So many games are ‘oh I got to turn 6 with my combo, lol you die now’ 'What’s that, I have the combo on turn 7, gg watch me play 17 cards, destroy my deck and win with Mechathun.
except when you look at tournament results for every card game, then notice how the same people manage to win these tournaments over and over. Must be the luckiest people to win that often if it’s “down to luck of the draw”.
wow, that’s one big cursory glance at poker. I don’t think you’ve ever actually played it beyond at the kitchen table with family.
There’s way more than luck involved in playing poker or “tricking people”. Traditional poker is probably the least played poker because it’s the most basic and least strategic variation, with Texas Hold Em’ being the most popular. The reason why? It actually has strategy. There’s quite literally hundreds of books analyzing and teaching strategy behind the game.
Also if it was luck based, why would the same people consistently win national tournaments in poker over and over again?
I’ve heard Hearthstone being jokingly described as wizard poker in the past and I think it’s a pretty apt description if we’re talking about the skill and luck based elements in game.
Poker it is luck based to an extent. If I draw a royal flush every time, then I don’t care if I’m playing against Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey or any other poker legends. Against top level players, it’s also very common for one person to come on top one time, and the other another time, depending on their luck that session. You don’t have to search for long and hard for a time where the top player didn’t win it all, like you had to in 100m or 200m races when Usain Bolt was active.
Similarly, and the reason why I found your example curious for someone trying to show that the two games are different, is that you often see the same top Hearthstone players dominating the ladder each season. I searched the European leaderboards for Bunnyhoppor, who was my favorite player from when I used to watch competitive Hearthstone. In the last 10 seasons he has hit top 15 seven times, while his worst finish was still in the top 50.
In both Hearthstone and poker the best player can lose to a noob that drew the nuts, but will definitely dominate them over a long period of time. I actually think that games where you build your deck inherently have more potential to be skill based since can choose your deck and make tech choices to counter the meta, although admittedly this isn’t the case for 99% of the players who just copy the code of a popular deck which is either dominating or they have most of the cards for.
You are correct. This game has zero skill left, completely luck-based. It’s an awful children’s card game that 40 year old men play to pretend they are good at something. It’s not worth playing unless you’re a total loser.
