Discuss the hearthstone nerfs. Also WOG in general discussion.maybe it's already been discussed here but I haven't seen it today so fuck it
>Nerfing Ancient of Lore
That's hilarious. It was already an incredibly shitty "win more" card. Playing a 5/5 on turn7 is so goddamn weak even with its draw2 effect. I have NEVER run that shitty card in my druid decks.
>>335024014
It was a decent refill your hand card without losing too much, albeit the body was definitely weak, but druid needed card draw for after innervate combos. Honestly with the FoN nerf and this, druids are shit tier. Not that I care, druid is gay nigga.
>>335024014
The blade flurry nerf was digusting
>>335024014
literally a buff to knife juggler
now it can stay on the board long enough to actually be useful/make earlygame plays
>ice block and Alex are totally gonna get nerfed, freeze mage will be too strong!
>>335024239
Then youre fucking terrible at this game to understand that its an overpowered card.
5/5 body, a pretty good threat and a choice of 2 card draw or a heal. The card is very diverse and deserved the nerf.
The card alone can swing a game to favor the druid.
>>335024239
drawing 2 cards has a value of ~3mana
4 mana for 5/5 is bretty gud
>>335024014
Do visual novels pass as video games?No.
Do virtual card games pass as video games?No.
>>335024880
I know hearthstone is shit but why wouldn't it be a a game?
>>335024782
The thing is that they fucked up and didn't give it +1 health to compensate especially since azure drake still exists unnerfed.
>>335024880
Does it require video output in order to playyes
Is it a game?yes
>>335024993
This. The choice for +5 health doesn't make it worth playing over Azure Drake.
>>335024014
why didn´t they nerve dr boom and piloted shredder as well for wild?
in fact why don´t they nerve most of the op cards instead of banishing them to wild only?
>>335025090
Because wild doesn't matter.
>>335024880
Yes and yes
Cry harder
>>335024993
Nobody is gonna pay 2 more mana for +1/+1 and no spellpower.
>>335025101
then they should have nerved all the op cards.
in the end it still ends with more cards to chose and more variety.
banning cards all together is stupid.
especially since blizzard can easily change cards whenever they feel like it
>>335025229
While it does make sense they should just "change" the cards, Blizzard is a pile of raging pussies when it comes to straight up good card effects anymore, so it's either over-the-top RNG or mediocrity.
Also, as for the Wild Format, go look at Magic the Gathering.
>>335025229
Easier to ban than to nerf.
>>335025101 is correct. Wild is meant to be OP.
knife juggler wasnt nerfed enough, and the blade flurry nerf killed any chance rogue had at being competitive.
gonna play malyrogue till tuesday i guess. Rip my favorite class.
>>335024576
Are you still high from yesterday bro?
>>335025582
Mostly this.
They totally fucked Rogue and haven't shown anything notable enough to make that insane nerf, Oil is out with Standard, reasonable.
The only chance Rogue will have is Control and even then, unless she gets some really good shit from the last half of the Expansion, doubtful, it isn't happening when Warrior, Priest, and Druid will be outright better.
>>335025747
I just hope the blade flurry nerf makes room for better rogue weapons. I've always wanted to play a weapon rogue.
>>335025982
Thistle Tea tho...
Also, since Deathrattle cards will be permanently shorn between Hunter and Rogue, there will probably never be a T1 Deathrattle deck.
>>335025747
They explicitly said the reason for the nerf is so they can make Rogue weapons again. With BF and Oil they can't make weapons or it gets gamebreaking.
>>335026096
>Thistle Tea
Literally a shit version of Sprint that has at the mercy of draw RNG.
Did they really have to kill lore? Did they really have to nerf it to the level of a 7 mana 5/5 draw a card or heal 5 life?
>>335024014
lol only shit tier classes were affected. The only class worth playing is warrior, control warrior. If you play anything else you're a fucking pathetic tumblr pleb.
>>335026187
oh please the next weapon is still going to be poisoned blade tier
and that's only IF we get a weapon this xpac which we wont
they hate rogue not because its powerful or hard or anything like that but simply because its effective at very low cost
>>335026096
Deathrattle Rogue could be great. I have hopes that Miracle Rogue will be back on form with the new Legendary.
Just looked them up and all of the nerfs were fucking retarded. Blizzard are so out of touch with their own game.
>>335026503
>deathrattle rogue could be great
newsflash: virtually every good deathrattle card is leaving the game
>>335026451
Seems weird to nerf it now without releasing a weapon then. There's almost half the set that hasn't been announced yet.
>>335026579
most of them will be shit, be it intentionally shit or accidental shit
everything relevant has been announced
>>335026573
Or maybe they know something we don't?
>>335026575
All the cheap ones from Naxx yeah, there's still Cairne, Sylvannas etc.
>>335025007
>Has a win condition
>Has a loss condition
>Played via an electronic device
Literally a video game senpai
>>335026624
Thanks for the insider info Ben Brode.
how hard is it to catch up now?
got a big new phone and I need something for commutes.
>>335026663
oh yay rogue being turned in yet another P2W deck how exiting
>>335026787
without spending real money? basically impossible
>>335026787
Easier than before with 2 sets rotating out.
>5 mana BGH
So it's worthless now?
>>335026741
am i the only one that wants to suck his cock?
>>335026842
>>335026787
Ignoring this guy, you'll get a free card pack pretty much every week from the Tavern Brawls and next week you'll get 3 free packs of the new set when it comes out, so it's one of the better times for a newcomer to start playing.
>rogue is the 2nd worst class in the game
>let's kill its key card
im fucking dying holy shit
meanwhile warrior/warlock/paladin don't lose anything
>>335026790
All games should be free.
>>335026997
well, theyre already losing a lot from the change to standard
what you should be mentioning is that freeze mage lost nothing, and a lot of its counters are being nerfed/destroyed
>>335026905
>next week you'll get 3 free packs of the new set when it comes out
Wow it's fucking nothing.
Don't start HS now unless you're rich. You won't have fun.
>>335027112
Wrong. Just got a work colleague into it last week. She's already made a decent aggro deck. She is enjoying it.
>>335024239
Because druid can play it on your turn 1 you moron. Its a ramp class.
>>335027112
Aww baby, did your mommy not give you money for all the big legendaries?
People prove month after month that f2p and near f2p decks are good enough to play all the way to legend, hell Face Hunter is one of the cheapest decks out there and it does amazingly. Instead of spouting buzz words like "fun", tell the man the facts and let him decide for himself.
>>335026905
>>335026858
The core cards are still in, right?
I used to buy regular boosters only so I got some shit there.
Only had two wings of Naxx and nothing past that, but my core should be solid enough I guess.
>>335027256
>7 mana
>Turn 1
How?
Innervate > Innervate > Coin > ??? > Ancient of Lore
>>335027360
Yep as of next week standard will be:
Basic set (Stuff you get for free) > Classic Set > Blackrock Mountain Adventure > The Grand Tournament Set > League of Explorers Adventure > The Wrath of the Old Gods set
>>335027421
Raven Idol -> Innervate -> Innervate -> Innervate -> Coin -> AoL
Technically possible.
>>335027360
Everything from the Classic set will always be there. Naxx and GvG are rotating out but still playable in Wild.
You can easily get 100G a day just by playing a few games, easy enough to get a pack a day for free. If you don't suck you can get infinite value in Arena.
>>335024014
one move win is finally nerfed
i'd say too late as usual for blizzard
they are doing with all their games what they did with wow - stomping it out of existence by being lazy and slow
>>335027535
It's esports like this that mean I will never reach legend.
>>335027628
I don't know. This expansion has renewed my interest in Hearthstone. Got sick of FoN+SR+Innervate+SR when I was at a clear advantage and winning, or getting molested by secret Paladins.
>>335027935
I hope you like a ladder full of face shamans, because they barely got hit by the nerfbat or the standard bat.
>>335028083
That's fine. Face Shamans aren't shit. Nor are Face Hunters. I play Priest and Mage mostly.
lmao there's always these fags here who are like "yeah man if you grind for 4 months you can build a cheap shit zoo deck it's f2p man"
>>335028324
And then you grind for those months to build a cheap shit zoo deck and Naxxramus is taken out of the format leaving your deck useless
>>335028282
>Face Shamans aren't shit.
We'll see how long you think that after you lose Deathlord and Lightbomb as a priest and scientists as mage.
>>335028324
>4 months
You can build a Face Hunter deck that can take you to Legend for ~1,000 dust. It will take you about a week.
>>335028429
I don't run any of those cards as it is.
>>335028502
wow, I sure do love wageslaving for cancer decks, what an f2p game
>>335026896
>sucking cock of a Blizz dev
Well, you're not exactly unique.
>>335028663
>f2p
see
>>335027003
>>335028663
>wageslaving
>dust
Dude if you knew anything about this game you can't buy dust, you just get it from disenchanting packs.
A new player is guaranteed 3 packs, an arena run and 95 dust
+ The ways to get free packs for stuff like using a Samsung S6 emulator
+ 3 packs next week for the new expansion
There is literally no way you'd need to spend actual cash to get 1000 dust for a face hunter deck unless you actively wanted to give the game money.
>>335029021
Not to mention when you first start the game Gold is pouring our your asshole as you level up your classes.
