The solution to casual or newer players having a problem with paladins is to educate them on how to deal with it. And we know there are ways to deal with murloc pally, none of which are esoteric or convoluted. None of which require galaxy brains or lightning reflexes or having special legend worthy genes to execute.
Legend players are not some different species of human. Don’t sell yourselves short for not being one.
Another note is that casual or new does not mean bad or poorly skilled or incapable of improving themselves.
Somebody could always just be a born genius and could tackle legend level matches on day 1, provided they have a workable deck…
…and one of those workable decks could be murloc paladin because it’s so cheap to craft and easy to pilot . See, one can easily turn the casual/new player angle around and say that all those murloc paladins in low ranks ARE the casuals and new players. The stats certainly indicate that experienced and serious players don’t really play the deck much in their high and mighty legend ranks…
It is one of the most difficult decks at high ranks. I wanted to add “I don’t know what you are talking about”, but I think I know: players of low ranks can give you a lot of time to cast protoss spells and setup your wincon, that’s why you think it is easy.
It is actually a control deck with a wincon and with a lack of typical ways to clear the board.
I´m running on 2k top legend kid. There are not ‘a lot of time to cast protoss spells and set your wincon’ just a braindead no thinking twice just cast cast cast and win.
I did try already Mister OVERMIND. A dog can spam protoss spells, controll the board and snowball the game and play 2 colossus on turn 8 after location use.
So you are probably a genius, because I can’t play this deck and have a decent winrate. Usually I have no time to play a location and survive.
I expect I will be able to pilot this deck if I devote a certain amount of time to learning, like it was with Wheel Warlock, but it is something that makes me name a deck “difficult”.
It seems that you don’t have such troubles. Probably due to your excellent skills.
The only riddle that is not solved – so why then you are 2к legend and I am usually somewhere near top-500 EU.
Oh, that explains a lot. Especially with the addition that it is probably NA server that has its own peculiarities – there is most likely a thinner layer between the strongest players and players slightly stronger than average than the same layer on EU.
that doesn’t matter.
what matter is what percentile you are within legend.
your mmr is so low. you are at the bottom of legend.
a lot of people entering legend later are gonna have higher mmr than you. so, they will be assigned a higher rank number than you.
by the end of the month your rank will be at 13,000 legend rank.
when I make it to legend in standard I will be entering legend as top 1,000
meanwhile, your rank would have already fallen to 4,000~5,000 range
Oh my little kid, that’s a pretty easy riddle and reinforce the title of this thread.
Because I only do play pally decks and I find a way to modify and adapt to reach legend, and you are on top500 EU because the fact that you play brainless OP, abuse decks was normalized for you already and when you can’t you go for streamers and copy what they are using.
Paladin decks without murlocs are not smth off-meta nowadays, I played Lynessa Paladin in top-100 in the middle of the last month. Aggro Paladin is decent now, I don’t play it, but I play against it a lot in top-300 now.
I often play my versions of all types of Rogue and reached top-145 one day (not at the beggining of the month) with very homebrew control version of Ashamane Rogue.
So you are wrong about everything.
Although it should be mentioned that “I play homebrew” often means “I am not good enough as a player to reach a decent rank and I hide this fact by playing trash cards in my decks and telling people that my results are poor because I refuse to play meta decks”.
You will not reach anything by denying that the meta and some decks and peculiarities of gameplay sometimes don’t look like you imagine. You’d better notice that usually high rank players don’t have some negative attitudes towards you when they tell you that you are wrong at some point. It is just logical to suppose that we often have more knowledge about the game than top-3000 and there are high chances that the opinion of someone like Voyager is more correct than yours.
You just proved what I said, you play the most OP meta at the time no matter what you like to, and that’s ok, a totally Machiavellian behavior since you aren’t interested on get your deck adapt and go further. You play what is OP and thats makes you feel happy yey.
Lol that’s a huge imagination and assumption about what I do plan to build a deck lol :D. Whats your next step are you gonna give me a therapy session?
You want to prove that I’m wrong by what, telling that your EU rank and toons of more time spent and money in the game gives you a more skill than me?
Well let me tell ya, that’s basically how the ranks today are defined. rofl
You probably understand it in a wrong way. Our ranks in legend depend on our mmr in comparison with mmr of other players. That’s why your rank can change without any efforts made by you, and it happens quite often. Other players play, their mmr changes, their positions change.
Hsguru collects data from official leaderboards. It doesn’t care if you were playing or your position was changed without your efforts.
Russia. I don’t care if you regret or dont give a dam, just to be clear: my friends are dead or in prison (political prisoners) or abroad (so you can guess what views I have). I am lucky sometimes + too lazy + not rich. This mix of features prevents some bad and some good outcomes irl.
But anyway, I literally have no way to spend real money in the game, so that suggestion sounded funny.
It was not Aviana Druid, it was Loh Druid. These decks are very different. Aviana Druid runs only one minion, Aviana, and relies on random legendaries. Loh Druid ran several powerful minions and Loh.
