Every season sees the same leaders.
If there is no skill, how is this possible?
Thatâs like saying our politicians are skilled because they keep getting elected. Like, yeah, I guess, in a way, they are skilled. But itâs more like they understand the system and with that understanding they do what others tell them to do to succeed, and then they succeed. Is that skill?

I reject your analogy as meaningless.
This is a skill game.
Thatâs fine, I can only control what I can control. If you believe that, nothing I can say will convince you otherwise/of the truth. Go forth and be skilled!
Yes folks, skill will pull you through when your opponent draws perfect tempo cards to execute their deck strategy perfectly, 4 legendaries in the first 3 turns, and you draw nothing that can effectively counter until turn 5. Using the same exact deck as the âskilledâ players at Legend <100.
i read it all, you can literally do anything you want in hearthstone
you are the only problem here

Hey i want to play four useless cards in my first three turns during games. What deck should i be playing so i can dominate like that?

Iâm not saying the game is lost on the next turn, Iâm saying that out of 200 games where Reno Lone Ranger has been played Iâve probably won 3 out of those 200. And many of those games I was significantly winning before Reno was played. That is why I know the game is lost. Itâs just a problem in wild format which blizzard doesnât really care about.
I came back after a year just to laugh at your statement. Seeing HS having 8k viewers on twitch, while back in my days it was 170k daily consistent views. And all streams are battlegrounds and nobody cares about the ranked anymore.
Clearly everyone is the problem now, right? Your mentality is like blaming the passengers of titanic for the disaster.

if the passengers want to shovel buckets of water into the boat, then yes they are to blame
you dont like ranked gameplay yet you continue to do it, thats the definition of insanity, you continue to do the same thing expecting results to be different
you have all of the solo content to play, you can build decks however you want
you will always be the issue
This single statement leads me to believe you never played Hearthstone âBack in the dayâ. SMORC has existed since day 1. I mean Leeroy was specifically nerfed because there was a deck built around bouncing and hitting face with it.

If you quit playing years ago⌠why are you back making a post about a game you quit years ago?
Stop beating a dead horse and move on if you actually quit.

No, itâs not (Iâd put giant apostrophes for emphasis, but should I botherâŚ).
Giving up after only a few unsuccessful attempts, instead of keeping trying, is probably indicitive of so-called ADHD, lack of patience and whatnot.
Some people have been chasing gravitational waves for decades, while the⌠intellectual equals of you smirked. Whoâs the fool now?
Oh, that again? 
Gotta repeat myself:
Thereâs no such thing as a âmemeâ, but other than that, youâre merely repeating whatâs been already said in this very topic:
No⌠and no.
Leeroy was nerfed for being ubiquitous (check the official patch notes, I think Iâve posted the excerpt somewhere on these forums, too), and there wasnât such a deck, really, which doesnât mean Leeroy wasnât an addition there, too, with Shadowsteeping it as an option.
Why ever not? Besides, I think the author has expressed his intent quite clearly, itâs you who havenât been paying attention. Since youâre apparently such an ADHD proponent, Iâll do your homework for you this once:
And also:
Sounds sensible to me, unlike this bit:
And where exatcly has anyone asked you in particular what to do?
Even one counterexample, i.e. one person caring, disproves your statement (thatâs the basics of logic â Iâve gotta point this out, since even elementary school education seems to be lacking on these forums in general, no offence to anyone for whom such matters are obvious), so for the sake of pedantry Iâd ask you to not overgeneralise like that. âHardly anyone caresâ or something like it â thatâd do it, calling somebody a ânobodyâ just like that, however, â wouldnât.

passengers just want the ship not to sink while they are on it. I think itâs a fair request?
Have I said I do ranked? Didnât the title of the post clearly state âi quit hs?â I thought English letters should be enough guidance towards my thought processing, but it seems some people yet struggle with that.
are you like a dev of the game or what?
like talking to a brick wall⌠I mean i take my words back, no. Brick wall would definitely have more intelligence than you.
I didnât say it didnât exist before. The difference is at what degree these issues exist in the game and how they gradually increased.
I got bored.
Fair point, Reno.
Never said itâs a new problem.
Source = trust me bro.
Honestly, I was going to another website with letter H, and then the forum popped on top, and I was like âmeh, why not, let me see how many digit numbers of players are leftâ and then I saw his reply and that made me laugh to a point where I decided to actually reply him a year later lol.
Scientifically, you are right. Scientifically, it would be correct to say âthe amount of players caring about ranked anymore is drastically decreased over the years.â
Yeah but anyone posting such videos are intellectually dishonest because these types of decks were ONE of many possible decks and was NOT the only viable way to play the game. These types of decks were probably around 1-5% of the entire gameplay, so it was possible to tolerate. Anyone claiming that âit was the same as beforeâ is either insane or just attempts some pathetic mental gymnastics. No third option left here.

Quite many on these forums, actually.
I was about to do yet another search query on the forums, but looks like the function is inactive in the interface (updated, apparently, by the way;PS Forum search deactivated) right now? Nevertheless, here we go:

This is just an idea of how many times Iâve bemoaned their lack â not counting all those deleted topics (no idea how many, but they wipe a lot regularly).
While reading the first phrase, I was mentally preparing the same reply (about the âcore audienceâ of these forums in general, though, not just some individual specimens) that you just formulated in the next two sentences.
Once I made a topic with concrete evidence that most HS players are feeble-minded, but, of course, it got deleted.

Thatâs a very mild and polite way to put it, by the way. As for a number, roughly 4 out of 5 qualify, perhaps, give or take some random errorâŚ
How can one come to this conclusion? Just play the current tavern brawl⌠Cooperative, you say? Blah, blah, not interested, derp-derp, damage the other playerâs minions, overdraw him/her/it/whatever, make absolutely stupid plays that make no senseâŚ
Mind you, Iâm not criticising anyone who doesnât know the decks and best strategies, but is genuinely trying (maybe even reacts to pointers you can give), or someone who makes mistakes and admits them or avoids them next timeâ itâs okay, but being absolutely⌠thick is not.
You know, sometimes I think that if one were to remove the sloppy mess from inside the thick skull of one of these⌠players and fill it with pins, needles and bran, the result would be a much smarter scarecrow than it currently is. Again, trying to be polite here and avoiding any strong language.
Is there any wonder, then, that these forums are⌠the way they are? And there I was, lamenting the lack of reading skills, huh⌠How about some basic, at least rudimentary intelligence to begin with, let alone literacy or common sense?
PS Go on, flag this post and cry how it offends you and so on. Truth hurts, I know. My primary goal, however, has been to post my empirical findings. I donât care about your âfeelingsâ.
Oh, there was the point about reading skills, too, actually. And the brawl in question was this, I believe: https://hearthstone.wiki.gg/wiki/A_New_Year_Bash .
Why ever not, sounds perfectly sensible to me. Donât you clear your browserâs history, though? 
It tends to be that way , of course. For some reason, this upsets the local⌠colour. Just look at some of their comments.
Oh, but then, to be a total pedant, youâd have to provide a numerical estimate. Well, no matter, itâs also a way to put it.
Now, I have an objection to that , for I posted it above, too.
Heh, you wish (again, see above).
Looked up some of the older posts â perhaps you didnât climb to sligthly higher ranks, totally infested by Leeroy Jenkins.
There probably is (stupidity and cluelessness, for example, which is always an option, especially with the local folk ), but no matter, youâve generally got a point here.
For example, regarding that face hunter from the video, the true kicker is this:
That is, what used to be considered âSMOrcâ and scoffed at looks laughable by modern⌠âstandardsâ.

Maybe 5% of the time. So, 5 games out of 100 your decisions matter.
10% if Iâm being generous. Look at all the mirror matches right now with the nerf reversions. Itâs all Protoss Druid and Tempo Dragon Druid or a mixture of both. RNG will decide the game, not your gameplay, especially in a mirror.
I mean, the audience left here are people who are somehow and somewhat satisfied with the game, right? Otherwise it would be some sort of masochism. And I totally understand it. People take the criticism of their favourite video game very personally, like you are criticizing them. They are emotionally invested in these pixels.
No because I donât visit the webiste starting with P! Only H!
What I meant to say is the claim is dishonest, no the video posting itself. You can post the video of course, but claiming that âit is the same as beforeâ itâs disingenuous and manipulative.
Yeah I am talking from more of a casual perspective. And yeah, to some point the aggro was too much and like I said, I left. And itâs shocking to me that they doubled down on this even after so many years, even after player base shrinking so badly, they keep doing it. Like at what point they will make the change?
I quit when I felt like I donât have control of 50% of my games, lol. Imagine 5%. No wonder this game has the same player count as paladins.
