I understand 100% of what you’re saying. Also, what would give you the impression based on what I’m saying that I’ve just started doing the mini event? I’ve been doing it since day 1 and will undoubtedly finish it tonight. My point was they give you this thing that I think 80% of us will want to do, but in doing it you have to gimp yourself. First and foremost because I play wild and have no idea how to play standard, but lo and behold this mini event is standard only AND a lot of the dailies and at least 1 of the weeklies were geared towards druid, which as I have seen first hand is one of the weaker classes in standard as it appears to be priest and shammy that are on top from what I have seen.
So make it so I want to play something, but in doing that I will play a class where my at best 50% chance of winning is now lower due to a terrible class. And I usually don’t win 50% of the time because I seem to only win against complete newbs or when I get the perfect opponent for my strat and I am actually able to draw the cards I need when I nee d them so my winning % is probably closer to 33%-40%.
Played a friend last night because we both had play a friend and while I played druid because again I have quests to complete, but he didn’t so he played mage and priest I believe. Collosus me both matches for 30-40 damage per match just off those 2 cards.
Like how do you counter that? You don’t. I can’t stop him from playing 8 Protoss spells as a druid and I can’t stop him from getting 2 of Collosus and then being able to drop them on me for 30 points of damage in 2 turns. You just can’t beat that unless you had a Reno Jackson, or a ton of healing cards, which Reno isn’t available in standard so…
The day Blizz decided it was a good idea to add cards that insta kill your opponent on just turn 8 was the day this game got stupid. In the very beginning you could not insta kill your opponent just because you had 1 card in your hand.
I have maybe won 1 game out of like 6 tonight. One opponent is a warrior with I’ll just armor and control until I get the every armor gives me attack and although I wasn’t sure I would lose, it doesn’t take a genius to realize in 3 turns he’ll have hit me for 40 damage.
Another opponent doesn’t play any minions, which is a total counter to my mage different spell schools control deck. If he has no minions for my deck to work off of I’m screwed, oh and he was a shammy with windfury weapon + ways to give his hero attack and I have no taunts so…
Next guy is a dk who buffs the crap out of his stuff and while I was going toe to toe with him as priest I was running out of ways to stop him although I had a ton of stuff out there at that moment. Well he goes and plays soulstealer and now I have nothing. So I quit that match too right there.
I’m just getting tired of playing this game knowing my opponents have too many bullcrap cards that Blizz has added over the years to allow your opponent to screw you that it’s like okay I won’t ever win anymore. Got it.
