Like I hit diamond 10 and im ok being a “plebian loser” sitting there and not winning because of Starship DH; I climbed with actual decks of the expansion, good or not.
Imbue Paladin and Mage. Fun, intuitive and dont ruin the fun or game.
Then some fel-king grundle sniffer, day one of the Tavern Brawl figured out Starship DH.
This isnt me wanting to uninstall, because I know Defense Crystal is going to be punished, lets be real, but why the devs or team 7 (or what the duck they’re called by the community or themselves) just clap their hands Tuesday, go Tom and Jerry smack lips “Mm-Mm! Ahhhh~” job well done and leave the game in this bad standard state likely until Tuesday, escapes me aside from lack of QA and playtesting.
It’s Frustrating…
At least, then, give Mage back Polymorph, or revert the uneeded Bob nerf.
Go lick a Murloc taint anyone who supports this DH “they needed a viable deck after Crewmates were terrible”.
There is no defending this toxic, @#$%tty style of gameplay.
Im sure im just another whining player annoyed by a overused and overperforming neck so I apologize for how this all comes off. It just feels terrible having the wonders and excitement of an expansions and Year Of refresher sundered the first week by something so annoying.
Your good, I enjoy reading posts that explain frustrations because anyone who just “plays the game” will understand others are having rough times.
I laughed at you calling “Imbue Mage” fair and fun though lmao. It and Paladin aren’t exactly trash. Hunter to me is the biggest offender right now. Demon Hunter nerfing crystal is what I want to see happen for the class, just make it “Battlecry gain 6 armor” and let it be.
The Demon Deathrattle cards are needed for its other cards. Honestly Starcraft cards are big problems in general still.
i cannot for the life of me understand this philosophy.
if not for passion of the game, which the developers have none of, at least they should think of the money they make their corporate overlords. this deck has made many people quit the game already, some of which wont return and spend any more money.
tweaking a number costs them 0 dollars and everybody is better off. its as simple as make crystal 1 more mana or make it battlecry, but i guess us plebs arent smart enough to understand their grand design
Should we tell them that it has not been hot fix nerfed because it is not as good as low rank players believe it to be? That there are several even worse things lurking on the ladder?
It’s just too much armor and too much taunt, like… Arkonite is already a REALLY strong anti-aggression tool without also being able to reiterate 5,000 times.
Like pushing so hard to reduce damage from hand and hard removal to try and make the game more exciting/engaging, and then just being like “Oh here’s a deck that literally just spams defensive minions until they grind you out and you die” is like… why?
It’s overpowered for sure , the ones that saying it’s a low rank tyrant or “not too powerful” are not facing the deck and just reading the forums. The deck will be nerfed for certain they are prob just waiting for more info to make sure the nerf is successful. It’s a brutal wait though I feel ya
Delusional ah take, DH has taken every new and interesting deck and strangled them in the crib. The decks that are good rn are old decks with literally one card added to them each.
They have done emergency patch for much much less than this. Snake was emergency patched within a couple days of launch when the deck wasn’t even strong to begin with.
This absolutely warranted emergency intervention not because the deck is unbeatable but because it’s unbearably unfun and risked ruining the launch of a set. It’s also strong on top of that so the meta-warping effects are huge.
A ruined launch is also very bad for their revenue because they have tons of pretty signature bundles in the shop for decks no one can realistically play and people won’t spend money in cosmetics of a mode they’re currently not enjoying. StarCraft was hugely successful because the decks were all immediately meta and art was good, so you could see tons of people with purchased Starcraft cosmetics. How many people do your see with bought cosmetics from this launch?
If they care about their revenue they should act ASAP. With more than a week to assess they should touch more than just armor DH but that one at the very least must be addressed this week.
I agree with the sentiment it’s not a meta tyrant because there’s simply not such an indication on the stats collected: various decks have easily higher win rate.
However at the same time the entire meta is kinda sus at the moment because it has a dichotomy of powerful new slow decks and powerful old aggro decks.
It’s very nebulous because I don’t know what will be worse: every game taking 20 minutes or more or having again THE ZERG having play.
Something tells me our dust will suffer a lot, because for the first 2 months they’ll probably yo-yo the nerfs and buffs on various decks.
I just came across a hunter variation of the armor DH deck. Just summons dormant copies instead, and is equally as uninteractive with the way starships work. They could bring back Platebreaker and give every class Mass Dispel and it wouldn’t fix the lower-end decks and make them playable.
Starship DH IS good contrary to popular belief. The ONLY reason it dropped it win and play rate is because Starcraft decks came back into the meta and are better than DH.
It’s a two fold problem. They need to nerf Starcraft cards again but they also need to nerf the crystal to 5 so it cannot resume its position back at the top of close to it. The two problems are the reason new decks form the Emerald Dream are basically nowhere.
