I don’t think it exists in HS.
League of Angels. That is P2W.
In Hearthstone, pay-to-win translates to having access to the top-performing decks at any given moment. A new player lacking years of accumulation will find this difficult to achieve.
In just one month, the meta shifted from Paladin to Demon Hunter to Priest.
Best wishes to a new player attempting to save up 20,000 plus dust just to adapt to this month’s changes.
Standard format is blatantly pay-to-win. Which pay-to-win, unless obscured by paywalls, inherently relates to the experience of new players.
Those suggesting that players can manage with a tier 2, 3, or 4 deck are overlooking the obvious. When it comes to winning, the logical decision is to opt for the best deck available. With changes occurring every other week, it’s clear that Hearthstone Standard operates on a pay-to-win basis.

I disagree, but I will concede that it is easier for established players to win.
I’m already played worse stuff like FOL mage.
Literally the set was so bad that almost every card there was buff over time and everything still mediocre at best even after buffs.
3 mana audio splitters , maximize without discounted spells , lightshows that only improve if played from hand.
The thing is that who plays a single class for years just outperform the normal player results when playing with that class.
You’re really talking about what you not understand a damm thing when you talk about this subject.
Many people can and often will climb with classes and decks that the average player can’t.
It not makes the game less unbalanced. Just that player better.
Blizzard even tried a competitive tournament format focused on that type of player once and it was called specialist.
That despite of not taking traction talks a lot about what blizzard thinks about monoclass players.
It is totally pay to win. You must have shiny Gold, Diamond and Signature Cards. Normal Cards are not enough. If you are not using the highest tier of card available you are doing it wrong. Also you have to make sure you have all the cosmetics. If you aren’t giving them every penny you have then you are not winning. You might be able to win you games without the bling but is that really winning if you don’t have all the bling to show off your big wallet.

it is understandable from the new comer’s pow game probably feel like p2w. But not p2w for experienced players.

This is invalid reasoning. If a purchase gives you a statistically measurable advantage, no matter how temporary, that’s pay to win.
It’s always temporary anyway. No self interested developer of a pay to win game is going to allow you to win forever with a single (combination of) purchases. It always needs to be refreshed.

Which is every CCG in existance digital or in real life so even if it WERE true it’s still a stupid thing to whine about. Welcome to the genre.

I’m definitely not trying to say that pay to win is unacceptable. It is what it is.

Do yall think MTG, Yugioh and Pokemon are P2W? Have we been living a lie!?
Of course they are .
Which is why I dont understand Hearthstone players crying about it.
If you take all the Hearthstone players, there are two kinds. The kind that are happy keep playing and don’t type. The tiny minority that are crying about it comes here.
Even I admit that I like complaining more than I like playing. I’m just complaining about complainers.
For sure. I used to spend like $500 on new MTG releases. These poor kids crying on the forums make me lmao

If I took what I spent on MtG in my twenties and invested it, I’d own a house today.

The only laughable thing here is you dropping $500 on a video game.
He’s not talking about a video game, he’s talking cardboard crack homie
I don’t really care about what he spent his money on.
Mocking people’s wealth or lack thereof isn’t amusing.

This is where the English language is fun. I wasn’t using poor in terms of wealth. I was using it as like a term like, “poor soul,” but not as nice.
