I’m tired of people saying quest warrior is easy and reguires no thinking but it’s untrue and these people are just ignorant and don’t understand anything about the game and think they are better players because they don’t have the neccessary skill lvl to beat quest warrior.
In before " troll " because you think your opinion is superior but it’s not.
Quest warrior is tier 3 deck at best and if you lose to it its because youre playing some slow meme deck which isnt viable in this meta.
I stand by my judgement, it is an easy time to play minion based decks also because there are not too many people playing control so there is not much to know. Playing every minion is not detrimental like in older aggro decks because there is a fair bit too much draw in the deck and you virtually never run out of resources, also once the quest does get completed less than like 10% of the decks can swing the game.
There is a clear reason why from bronze-gold it’s winrate is so very clearly S tier, but there is no shame in running questline warrior if that is what the devs have decided will be strong this set and again fairly straight forward.
The power level of the deck doesn’t change the fact that Pirate Warrior has pretty much a linear gameplay/it’s very easy to pilot. If the deck was anything more than “just slam pirates”, you could have an argument. But it’s not.
Frankly, that was your only argument, the rest are just assumptions and attacks at the address of people who bash Pirate Warrior. If you want to prove a point, avoid attacks and bring more arguments, or people will not take you seriously.
Aggressive decks do take more skill to play optimally than most people give them credit for.
Unfortunately this is mostly true. If the quest didn’t exist, then sure, life and resource management all matter quite a bit. It does exist though. So you kinda just slam your pirates to complete the quest while avoiding death.
The deck might not be as braindead as people say, but it’s close enough in my book.
not sure what world do you live pal, but it’s hard for me to believe that you actually think that a deck where you basically follow the same script EVERY game, requiring a minimum amount of adaptation related to your mulligan or your opponent counters is actually a skillful deck to play.
I agree with many people who say that this deck is not overpower. Indeed it’s not, because as you have random rewards on juggernaut, that’s not consistent enough to be a powerful deck. Yet, whats wrong about this deck is the POSSIBILITY of getting overpower stuff every turn such as blacksmithing hammer, gorehowl, mr smite, and so on. There’s not a control deck who can hold a massive damage generation through weapon and minions every single turn, so when Rokara is down, is basically a lot more about luck than the normal.
I truly believe that the only reason why this deck has lower play rates on higher ranks such as diamond is because those players respect themselves more than playing stupid repetitive games over and over again.
Before Deadmines came out, I came up with a method for estimating the skill cap of decks. At that time, the lowest skill cap deck in the format was Evolve Shaman with a score of -15.2. Four decks (Aggro Shadow Priest, Aggro Druid, and Secret Libram Paladin) had scores below -10.
Calculating Pirate Warrior in Standard now, I’m getting -21.4. (Libram Paladin currently is at -11.3, and although I didn’t check every archetype that’s probably second dumbest right now.)
I don’t think it is any exaggeration to say that Pirate Warrior is the lowest skill cap deck in the entire history of Hearthstone. This isn’t an “aggro is dumb” thing, there’re plenty of aggro decks that are like nuclear physicists in comparison to Pirate Warrior.
A score of 0 by the metric means “as ALL archetypes increase in piloting skill, this deck’s winrate remains constant.” So we’d expect an median score around zero, roughly half of the archetypes (weighted by popularity) positive and the others negative.
Honestly, I appreciate your opinion about Quest Warrior.
One thing that I am confused. You want your opinion to be respected. So, I hope you also respect the other opinion. If there is someone says that Quest Warrior is “easy and require no skill”, perhaps they are a master. Some people may say drive a car is hard and require skill, but a pro racer might say “driving a car” is easy. That’s ok.
I have had no easy games of Hearthstone in Diamond 5 and up, no matter what I’m playing, as a Wild player who usually makes Diamond when he plays a lot.
Other players may have had different experiences - but I’ve been privileged to spectate a few very high-tier Legend ladder games in Wild (the top few hundred) and I know there certainly no easy games there.
I feel the same way about Mozak LuKbel47. I play nothing but mage. But I would rather lose a few extra games for the challenge and enoyment playing ping / wildfire mage than to lower myself with Mozaki which essentially is the same thing as pirate warrior to me.
