I hate my life playing vs control decks

Control players are basement dwelling gremlins. Their fun is making sure no one else can have fun either. These people call everything aggro unless the deck can hold the opponents hostage until turn limit or someone explodes to fatigue without the help of additional draw from cards.

This thread reminds me of a recent game where my priest opponent took the whole time during the mulligan phase, I passed turn 1, they coined Far Warch Post turn 1 and roped me, then I conceded. I donā€™t care about my rank, and Iā€™m not into being tortured for someone elseā€™s fun. That said, I do not begrudge anyone who enjoys those decks, and I am not above playing decks that others find tortuous

Jeez man at least Iā€™m courteous enough to be quick about filling and emptying the board and telegraphing that I just reloaded my hand so the opponent can spend all the time they need processing the likelihood of the next thing they play surviving to their next turn. Dalaran Heist gave me Nozdormu simulation training, I donā€™t waste time staring at a discover or the like unless the choices were so bad I stopped to laugh at them and verbally say ā€œAll of these are terrible!.. that one I guess?ā€.
Iā€™ll be the first to admit controls built to stomp the BOARD specifically, just pull out your spells n steel and shoot us to death, see how much lifesteal we can abuse without targets to steal from!
I donā€™t play discard or self pain warlock yet Iā€™m still offering up my Achilles heel for all to see
D-Does this mean Iā€™m a ā€œniceā€ control warlock?

More like a bad one xD

Joke, joke

But this:

3 things can cause this:

a) actual abuse of the system to tilt opponents,
b) forgetting to click end turn, or thinking it accepted it when you did click on it, but it appears that you havenā€™t; and
c) being occupied somehow elsewhere (real life job, kids, drivingā€¦)

I also hate roping and I hate playing against good opponents who professionally rope, but I can easily imagine b) and c) being the causes of many of such roping turns, simply because they also happened to me, multiple times xD

I need to hear Zangief say Iā€™m bad guy, but that doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m a bad guy

You can be bad at being a bad guy, which makes you good or not a guy.

No you are playing one of the many kinds of aggro warlock. Itā€™s impossible for Warlock to even build a control deck that fits the criteria of control freak standards.

Impossible you say?
Wait till I finish taking Zayle the Evil Cloak to the dry cleaners. Then youā€™ll see what a ā€œtempoā€ or ā€œcontrol freakā€ warlock looks like :upside_down_face:

Iā€™d take games against control or aggro all day long over some of the scam/combo decks.

How is it possible to have a 40 minute game if you arenā€™t playing a control deck as well? You must be confusing the deck archetype you are playing, or you are exaggerating the time of your matches.

A turn is only at maximum length 75 seconds. This means, in order for the game to last 40 minutes you would have a game where both players have fully roped each turn duration every single turn-- until turn 16.

You would have to be playing a control deck to be getting to turn 16 and since both players donā€™t use the full turn duration every turn you are more likely getting to turn 25 or higher in a 40 minute game. This is very close to being impossible as a combo or aggro deck since by this point you would be well into fatigue and completely out of resources much before then.

Sure they eat frogs. But they eat snails too :joy:

You ever hear the definition of insanity? Itā€™s doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

A druid gets the idea that they should back off after the 4th board clear, a warrior or someone else who can kick the sand castle youā€™re building in on demand doesnā€™t until theyā€™ve already exhausted all their own board clears. Which means the alleged 40 minutes in question is you both trading board clears like youā€™re playing go fish and never trying to extend more than either of you know you can get away with.

Yes, it is possible to run out of resources eventually, no gun is truly infinitely loaded, but thatā€™s why some rounds are blanks, meant to trick the opponent with a fake out, and some are hollow points, meant to be the killshot.
But if your opponent keeps stealing your ammo, or if they JUST WONā€™T STOP HUFFING RENO JACKSON LIKE ITā€™S AN ADDICTION for health, it can culminate in BOTH of you hitting fatigue and sharing a :face_exhaling: face as you both hit the end turn button in vain hoping something different will change the result.

That, my friend, is MY definition of insanity warlock, in itā€™s now OCD user friendly state. Make the opponent do the same thing expecting a different result until they see the insignificance of their actions

I canā€™t read a giant block of text, separate that into paragraphs

With no due respect Mr. Quark sir, your wall of text was bigger than mine. I can read yours just fine though, in fact it I just stopwatched it, takes exactly 1 minute 12 seconds to read all of BOTH of what we said

Okay that made a lot of sense to me believe it or not. I am kinda new to Hearthstone and yesterday i was playing against a druid i almost killed him he had 4 hp and he almost ran out of cards and then it all suddenly fall apart and 2 rounds he refilled his deck with 16 cards. It was nearly 40 mins playing against him. At the end of the game he managed to get 295 armor and suddenly he summoned odyn was about to hit me with over 295 dmg before i concede.

It was my first experience against such a deck that can replicate itself? or photo copy? whatever it was, it was miserable.

itā€™s actually smaller than yours, anyone can see that yours contains more words. Also mine was segmented into readable paragraphs, which you copy quoted to look like a wall of text in your mention

Have either of you considered that walls of text are only okay when I do it?
