VS Data Reaper Report is out. It's a 3 (and 1/2) class meta

Holy guacamole, bro, that’s deep, even for you

If you ever decide to go designing games, you have my support

EDIT: Just to be a bit more on-topic, VS has failed me, personally, and I’ve been through with them for the last 6 months. They do not exist to me. HSguru is the only website I recognize - and yes, it has been that way even before I first saw a 31-card deck posted there (it’s just ridiculous)

Their delusional takes have caused more than enough arguments and drama for two average lives

Hmm… I feel dumb because still try to climb my way to Legend with Imbue Paladin. That is the disadvantage of home brew deck, it takes too much time to finalize it. D3 at the moment. Maybe I should try to build a Drunken Paladin deck then next… But I just want to play the Imbue a little more.

There’s only 1, potentially 2 imbue classes, as it stands: Druid and Mage.

I am yet to understand what goes in the minds of people like you who play imbue paladin. Not only is it theoretically impossible to hit the level of imbue high enough to start profitting from it (imagine not spawning 10-cost drakes when randomly drawn, lol, in this meta where Druid can spam 20/20 minions by the time you imbued 4th time)

But then again, if I did understand you, I would be much worse than I am, lol.

EDIT: Just…think about this. They gave 6 classes imbue mechanic, but only one of them can go infinite imbues, with almost no sacrifice, as well. It’s Druid. How fair is this? Why do we keep allowing this?

Instead of complaining about the game, maybe practice punishing bad design and not playing those badly designed stuff.

Its not really even about being good or bad, its about wanting strategies they design to work and at least be viable even if they arent the strongest options available.

I could play in the top 500 legend if i wanted to spend the time and play what gets there… i would rather smash my head against a wall
*trying to make maestra and eudora work because those cards actually appeal to me. Lol

I absolutely understand YOU, and that’s why both you and me can play in top 500. That’s the difference between the two of us and the Paladin’s Avatar over there

Trying to make Maestra Rogue work? Subpar, but why not. Trying to make Draenei Mage work? Subpar, but why not.

Trying to make imbue Pally work? masochism. Pure and utter time waste.

As I said, by the time a Pally imbues 4 times and pays 2 mana to tutor 1 4-cost drake, Druid is spamming double 20/20-s

If the game goes to hell, it’s because of people who support this by playing crap which isn’t fun nor good at all (can’t possibly be fun, if you think you’re having fun playing imbue pally, you’re gaslighting yourself).

Im a sick man. My dream is to play some value burgle rogue into an infinite imbue priest for a 45 minute clown fiesta xD. I have no right to judge palidan guy; its all a matter of perspective xD

You got that right. xD At least you got self-awareness :heart_eyes:

And a bit of humor :grin:

EDIT:

Bro, seriously, look… I apologize for my words up there, didn’t mean to offend you (well, I did, but that wasn’t the end goal of it). I just wanted to open your eyes.

Your marriage to one class is big enough punishment for your experience playing this game. At least play a decent deck which allows fun. Give it a try I absolutely promise you, ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING you can mix up in that deck builder should be more fun than Imbue pally.

Just give it a try, and if I’m wrong, I will never dare to address you again.

Maybe they like playing the deck? I dont understand what goes on in your brain. Not everyone prioritizes winning. Do you really have that hard of a time understanding other peoples perspective? Yours is not the only way of thinking and newsflash you are not always right. I cant with you and your ego. Its off the charts.

Maybe not? Maybe read a sentence or two and see if you can figure it out? This is what he wrote:

Proof #1. He feels dumb. Not a good start. Dumb isn’t much fun.

This is him, gaslighting himself, rationalizing what he obviously sees is incorrect, in hopes of beating his cognitive dissonance (yes, Carnivore, this is the correct way to use that term). Although factually correct and valid conclusion for any homebrew deck which isn’t a netdeck, this only masks the underlying problem: playing imbue pally hurts everyone, big time, especially himself.

This is his way of fighting decision fatique. He knows it’s time for a change, but change means effort needs to be exerted, decisions made.

Throughout our typical day, we make thousands and thousands of small decisions, and each one is at least a tiny bit taxing on our mental energy. He, being a slave to routine, and having limited interests, needs external push and motivation to break free from his habits and routines when they’re clearly not doing him any good.

Combine all of that with the fact that PLAYING THAT CRAPPY DESIGN OF A IMBUE PALLY MONSTROCITY CAN ONLY END UP IN DEVS THINKING IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, instead of what it actually is, a debilitating, detrimental, discriminatory fiasco.

Nope, it’s not my ego causing you to feel that. It’s YOUR own ego, and YOUR own frustrations and misery. And you’re not even on a good path to break free from that, considering that you see me as such a threat to your normal day-to-day functioning that you have to take any chance you get to offend me or “put me where I belong”.

Well guess what? Where I belong not even your imagination can reach, being as judgemental and limited as you are.

P.S. You know you have ego issues when that is all you see in other people. If the whole world was ego-tripping, selfish, frustrated cat-Karen like you are and think we all are, there would be no world, at all. So get your head out of your behind and make some progress in your life. Human psychology is much more than just ego.

EDIT: Holy crap, why does this keep happening to me? Why do I always end up arguing with someone in every VS report thread since the 1st one xDD cor blimey, there has to be some hidden variable triggering me, and it has to involve letters V and S followed by Data Reaper Report

Because you are rude, arrogant and cant seem to get enough of trying to tell everyone in these forums how good you think you are. Heres a clue, maybe try and stop flexing all the time about how great you think you are. And maybe stop bullying everyone else in your stupid posts and responses trying to make yourself look and feel better. Way too much projection and insecurity from you. Every comment you make on these forums drips of it. Maybe go outside and smell a flower instead of spending all day in the basement.

Are you sure you’re not the one projecting here? Like, absolutely, 100% positive? Am I truly a bully? Or am I the one getting bullied here?

Just ignore it. He just went high legend once early in the month and since then he thinks he’s the Guru of Hearthstone. Tell him to finish top 50 in the end of the month and then he can be arrogant.

He won’t be, high skill also requires humility.

Ahaha absolutely no, you English-speakers are just lucky to have top players that are ± modest as people.
Actually I like to read English-speaking hsers because I have only two options with Russian-speakers: 1) people who don’t have any vision about meta and play somewhere in the dumpster, often in wild, often with homebrew decks, and mostly very bad homebrew decks; 2) people who think that “the dumpster” is everything below the current levik’s rank (yes, the part of top-100 is usually the dumpster too). Ofc people in the middle exist, but they tend to join one or another side and speak about super-fun-homebrew-murloc-mage or climbing-higher-and-higher.

Yes you know… I like a challange. As far as I saw… my Imbue Paladin can make it to Legend, it is just taking too much time because of Zarami, Colossus, Hunter and Imbue Druid. These are the classes which I beat hard even with Dirty Rat. I made it to D2 with it already… but just can’t win enough against these. Switched to Drunken but built in my own tricks, feels much more better thats for sure. Mostly I don’t even need Shaladrassil to win… feels funny… Maybe imbue will be much better after they nerfed the mentioned decks. Imbue Paladin feels just too slow and too random right now. I just hate to change deck in the middle of the month because everything takes time to learn and time is the most important thing in this game… but I rather change now than wait for the last week and try to do it then…

The thing is, it’s not much likely all of those are getting nerfed. In fact, judging by what most of the good players agree on, only Zarimi Priest is kinda suss, although not broken/OP, just toxic desgin

It’s Pally who needs a buff either way, it’s ridiculous and unfair what they did

I mean, dont get me wrong, insta-summoning 4-5-cost drakes is decent tempo, but how do you get to that position in this meta without staring lethal in the eyes?

Anyways, gl bro, sry for rant yesterday, I guess I was a bit on the edge for no apparent reason

Oh, it is not problem really. You just wanted to help I know and you are right. Since I play only one class I can easily craft any deck for it… I am just a hopeless deck builder who try to craft always a good deck from even the worst strategies. :slight_smile: Since Bob showed up I changed to handbuff and that was the moment when I realized Kangor won’t work anymore so stopped hurting myself by build my decks around it. I just wanted to make it work and didn’t realize it is impossible because of the board remover, AOE, OTK meta. I already built a self made handbuff a long time before but didn’t feel the need of it to use… because I loved Kangor Dancing King. After I changed to handbuff and started to build my decks from it, I started to reach Legend multipple times in one row. 5 months to be exact. Rotation happened and this could be my 6th if I manage to do it again. :slight_smile:
