So you feast on decks that are usually created to counter aggro, uhm sure, what you say is 100% not BS.
/s
Aggro are more played cause they are cheaper, faster and with good win rate allowing f2p player to farm gold and to rank up fast.
But i mean, you don’t really need more gold when you play a 3k dust deck, and once you reach your ideal place for the month be it r5 legend or whatever there is really no point on pushing as an aggro imo.
Edit: Also, if you are on the North America region, add me as your friend, I will show you what your aggro is worth. I am #1221 on the North America region.
a hearthstone match should take 15m on average. less if there is an aggro player and more if there is a control player but it should never be longer than 30m. currently the power level is so out of whack that aggro will steamroll u in a few turns while control mirrors can go 45m+
If I want to play a single player game, there’s plenty out there to choose from. I want to play decks and play against decks that interact with my opponent, thus I enjoy control.
Actually no, when all they have to do is just hero power and aoe all the way to victory, I can hardly call this strategy.
People only have this idea that aggro is dumb and control is smart because in the beggining of hearthstone people spended like 10k dust crafting a control deck and then people back then discovered a way of making cheap decks viable AND powerful, like face hunter.
Since these decks were cheap and really strong they became popular, and the people who spent a ton of dust in control decks couldn’t accept losing to those who have spent 5 times less, so they crafted a term for what is good and cheap…Cancer.
Nowadays what do u have? People receive an aoe removal and it does 3 damage, instead of making it viable and think in smart ways of using it what people say? “hey, but there are minions who have 4 health, what should I do if someone plays them?”
In the first years of hearthstone it was ok to say it, the matches were mostly decided by what u had on board and u needed to carefully use your resources, but look now:
Warrior already has brawl, got warpath, which combined can potentially swipe your board 4 times, mech sinergy, a hero card that generates aoe, direct damage, discover, board filling and armor, plus a weapon breaking spell a neutral legendary to avoid fatigue and another to magnetize and fully heal, not only the spells in the class were made to board control, the weapon and the minions with rush.
The situation was absurd and blizzard even supplied it with more removal from plague of wrath and a cost 2 taunt the discovers another taunt, being the first 3 turns its weakest turns previously .
With tons of resources like these u barely need to take ANY decision at all, u simply win through the smashing power of your cards rather from some elaborated strategy.
The same arguments can be used for any archetype.
The same can be said about control, where either u board clear every single turn or u ragequit when someone has a minion that can survive it.
Just look at dead man’s warrior mirror matchups at HS championships, 1h of gameplay just to end in a draw cuz there is luckily a turn limit.
Why bother with words at all? I challenged you to a match to prove how insignificant your aggro deck is. Action, let us take action, because in action there is no lie.
I am still waiting for your invite. You will accept my challenge, unless you are a coward.
Hey, by the way, I just happened across one of your other posts. I found you complaining, along with another aggro deck player that you can’t beat a Priest. How when you face Priest decks it is an auto-concede match.
Now, you do realize that the Priest decks are control matches, right? And that if you are auto-conceding to Priests you are, in fact, conceding to control.
Just saying.
Also, my challenge still stands. Metalx #1221, on the North America region. I await your “friends list” invite. Either you put up, or you shut-up.
“Control is best!”
“No, Aggro is best!”
“No, control is best!”
“No, F you, i like playing aggro and my subjective viewpoint is better than yours!”
“F you too i like playing control because i enjoy actually playing cards”
“F your cards!”
“F YOU”
…
I don’t want to be your friends you a jerk also I do not have to PROVE anything to you or anyone else. You are name calling to try and get me to challenge you which shows you really are full of yourself and NOT worth my time.
You are after all nothing but a gnat to me and we just shoo those away.
Hey, didn’t you announce that you dusted your entire collection and then uninstalled the game, just a few weeks ago?
Welcome back! I hope the break was refreshing, and I hope you’ll be able to rebuild your collection soon!
Not by you, perhaps. A fair desire.
But you don’t get to control what others queue. And if you run into control players, then obviously, “control long games” are desired here by other players.
Feel free to concede if you prefer not to have to maintain focus on a game for more than two or three minutes.
Control Vs aggro is probably the fastest match up ever no reason to concede to control as an aggro. Play it, you either win or lose in like 5 min if people do not BM and rope.
When i played the old quest priest i had matches against aggro that lasted till they fatigued but that is because they were stupid and kept playing while I pinged down every single token they played sitting at 40 hp with another amara in hand.
In a normal game the plays you have to do in an aggro/control matchup are pretty easy so the important turn plays at a kinda fast pace.
You either have the board clear/stall needed, or you die, you may try to do some greedy plays to bait the opponent but that is it.
Same as an aggro, you go face as much as possible, trying to not overextend and trading only when necessary.
Control players talking about long control games are probably taking about Control Vs Control, when you actually have to maximize the value of your card. Because Control Vs Control is simply a value battle and who manages it better (usually) wins.
Same can be said about aggro vs aggro, people just find it less exciting because minion played in aggro are usually token and I mean, who prefer token trading over some cool super value battle.
I never asked you to be my friend. I never called you names. And I never lied to you.
Being on my friends list is not even close to the same as being an actual friend of mine. No, you are so very far from that. I know what friends are, and you ain’t it. In fact, with a mentality like yours, you can never be a friend of mine. I have some, 30 or 40 people on my friends list, none of them are my friends.
And we will note that you just openly refused my challenge, only confirming my suspicions you are a coward.
But that doesn’t mean you couldn’t be on my friends list long enough so that I can invite you to a match.
Also, that challenge was for ME to prove to you that your deck was weak, not for you to prove it was strong.
