I’ve been playing hearthstone for years and have seen some pretty ridiculous meta decks in my time. These decks typically are combinations of a variety of cards from many different sets and are somewhat level with other meta options out there (i.e. Asteroid Shaman, Elemental Mage, Hand-buff Paladin, etc.). These Starcraft mini-sets are simply one time purchase instant win conditions and it is by far the most overpowered meta I’ve ever witnessed, particularly the Death Knight zerg spam. I truly can’t even begin to comprehend how that decision made it through the dev team. Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to have a 1 time purchase full meta deck in which you can spam unlimited cards that scale infinitely??? Is this the result of some kind of special-ed hiring initiative at blizzard? This needs to be nerfed into the dirt ASAP as ranked is now truly unplayable unless you are using one of the new sets. LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY FOR ONCE AND DO SOMETHING SMART FOR THE GAME.
when even wild is nothing but these mini decks i know its time to stop playing normal hearthstone and just only play battlegrounds until i am done with this game.
Sadly battlegrounds is terrible since they removed trinkets and that wont keep me playing for long
Just like how older expansions are banned in standard the latest expansions should be banned in wild. Its absolutely insane when even wild is dominated with the lastest standard OP meta
im sure by now the devs have received more than their fair share of hate over infestor abuse also they didnt make this set with older cards in mind its obvious they make these cards for the following sets i mean who makes a card targeting a card on its way out? this mini is just fine theres just too many other op cards out there that make it crazy like shudderwok he is a complete terror in any deck when next expac drops in a few months the synergies will be better for this mini set all we can do at this point is sit and wait for devs to make their move we should be getting a balance patch before too long i imagine zergs gonna get neutered some with this patch but we will see
I got to rank 1 diamond on standard with attack dh , my experience has been decks being saved over and over with legendary starcraft heroes healing and board wiping, or titans , or insane armor/health buffs, which is of course how to stop aggro. I cant break through this month , could be bad luck. Stay around 50 percent due to zilliax, metamorphasis , kayn and other strong ways through taunt for the face attack, the armoring is my weakness and all over the ladder at high rank. Seems like almost every deck is midrange with strong comeback . I will look forward to losing the titans at least.
Update - I tried again with attack dh this month, was struggling at rank 10 diamond, people getting off early attack and healing both, pretty bad luck in a bunch of matches. I rotated elemental mage, swarm shaman , weapon rogue and zerg dh having fun for a bit but not climbing. I switched to Terran Shaman and cut through like butter to legend. The infinite shaman , weapon druid and zerg dk were the biggest challenges, I ran a hex which helped alot. Shudderblock + ghost wrecked a OTK hunter and druid really hard, if you can pull that off 2 turn in a row GG. I had a few easy matches to finish which I was not expecting. Overall the frogs are my VIP , buffing one with the spell to tutor another beast and get another frog helped many times. Also fire the starship early to activate your siege tanks, they hit face hard through small minions (like zerg). My favorite deck is still attack dh but the comebaks were too frustrating especially druids mana cheating out their 3/4 charge and starcraft hero, and insane armor buffing was a big hill to climb, props to the dh players who make it right now
i have only played against protoss mage and it is so infuriating that i think im done for a while this will be the first card back i dont get it seems
lol play protoss priest than say that
nah that money is better spent elsewhere ill just not play
The play tester for the new expansion should be FIRED. Protos and Zergs are so broken, I just auto concede the first card I see.
the whole dev team needs to be fired they have clearly lost touch with what little magic they once had its now stale and bleeding money eventually the higher execs will have no choice but to fire the morons
I still like the expansion. The meta is way better than what we had prior. If I had seen 1 more Asteroid Shaman, I would’ve probably quit. Also, after months and months, Warrior finally got another playable deck. I was tired of playing Odyn and Dummy Warrior. And best of all: Starships are finally viable!
Just keep whining. I have fun farming Zerg DK with my Terran Shaman.
Stale is the operative word here. It’s just tedious to play this game right now since the new mini set. It absolutely dominates everything else. A mini set shouldn’t do that. It should enhance the previous meta. Change it up a little bit. Now everything in standard is starcraft crap
The mini set turned the game into a four deck meta. Shaman, warrior, DK, hero power druid with a smattering of the other classes because some of us aren’t interested in playing the same deck as everybody else
The scrubs are feasting though. If you like a deck that practically plays itself, you got to be loving life right now
what you dont miss handbuff pally or libram pally
lol yea i expect the book hearthstone for dummies to release soon
they are fine its some of their card designs are not great dont hate the player hate the game
Secret Hunter, Dungar Druid, Grunter Hunter and Weapon Rogue are all amongst the strongest decks right now.
2 minutes later…
I just went over to HSReplay to factcheck my opinion and Secret Hunter is literally the strongest deck right now.
I do see those decks from time to time but my point still stands that the decks I mentioned are the ones that I see more than anything else
Also, I don’t need VS reports or HS replay or anybody else to tell me what my personal experience is with the game
