Switched from tempo mage to control warrior.


Kreygasm.

 

[markofhavoc]

So I guess it was something someone got unintentionally?

Possibly, but I am kind of changing my tune. It might not be the most fair, but since it only links you to those who downloaded it early as well, I am just running through ladder

 

[Zoggy]

warrior is shaman/rogue tier now.

so many players trying different decks with it and they all suck. mechwarrior, dragon warrior, taunt warrior. all getting slaughtered.

for the first time seeing warrior in ladder gives me a sigh of relief instead of going "im screwed"

 

[Tubie]

Kripp: "Honestly there were three winners in that competition, Reynad was not one of them"

Kripp never misses a chance to take shots at Reynad lmao.

lol what? Mech warrior isn't bad. And control warrior is still fairly good. Not even close to the bottom.

 

[Servbot #42]

Man Hybrid hunter can really punish secret paladins, feels good

It's a really strong deck right now because of that fact alone, also bear trap totally saved my ass today.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I think I am playing against a zoolock bot on EU. No one plays this slow and methodically. Roping out each turn because he is clearly going through routines to check what to do. And attacking face with 2 second pauses between attacks every single time.

 

[Moonlight]

Ughhhh. I run a Secret Paladin out of gas, set up my board with Antonidas and a couple cheap spells in my hand for next turn, then he topdecks Consecration for game.

There are definitely still bots around but its nowhere near as bad as that shaman epidemic.

Just had my first wtf moment as hunter today... I have brave hunter + haunted creeper in hand. All I need to do is draw a card costing 4 or less, all of my deck is 4 or less except highmanes... I draw highmane and he plays malganis...


Also every time before that match I got leok. Suddenly I don't two in a row when I really could use it.

animal companion should really say "if you play this card summon leok or misha. if your opponent plays it summon huffer"

always huffer

 

[Kornflayx]

It was funny seeing the difference between Forsen and Reynad early on when they had the mic problems. Forsen was all like "Can you fix this? Does this sound good for you guys?" and Reynad was all "I don't give a fuck how I sound. If you message me again I will ban you for 24 hours"

And you got your answer why nobody likes him and his viewers are only there to troll him.

 

[markofhavoc]

Raynad seems like a dick, I just like trump and kripp lol

 

[Zoggy]

most of the HS "celebs" i know are way different from most other popular streamers.

trump
kripp
lifecoach (isn't this guy always deadly silent and roping every turn? lol)
forsen (hilarious)

they're not always yelling or cursing or overacting.

this reynad guy seems like an unpleasant dude. and amaz jeez that guy is always overdoing his celebrations

 

[Xanathus]

Reynad is one of my most favorite streamers because of how real he is 4Head.

Well, Hearthstone is a very different game from the games the popular streamers play in terms of pacing and excitement, there's a completely different energy in fighting game or Counterstrike streams. Similarly to Hearthstone, most Chess and Go streamers I've seen are also very quiet and understated in their behaviour. I assume the same would hold true for your average Magic The Gathering player on stream.

But I think it's good that there's a variety out there, there are people who enjoy the extroverted and over-the-top types, but others might appreciate more regular and non-"acting" personalities like Savjz.

 

[Papercuts]

Got lethal through an unstable portal warsong to charge a water ele.

Probably going to be the last time I use the card before they remove it from the game. A fitting end.

To each their own. I've been a fan of reynad's since before he became popular and known for salt. But tbh, a lot of streamers are salty. Even during that 24 hour stream, lots of salt was passed around. Granted, if you're sick, tired, and jet lagged, it is reasonable to be extra salty (reynad).

I think it comes down to maturity, or lack thereof.

There really isn't any reason to pay attention to somebody like Reynad when there are lots of other options available.

This past tournament really put me onto Sajvz, he seems like a nice dude. Shows a lot of character that he didn't flip out after Forsens last game, didn't his opponent have lethal but conceded anyway so that Forsen won?

24 hours in I probably would have lost my shit.

 

[Kangi]

Got two cases of being matched against the same person twice in arena this time around. Went against a Paladin twice who I spanked both times, and a Rogue twice who spanked me both times.

The RNG giveth, and the RNG taketh away.

(And Voidcaller into Floating Watcher is crazy.)

 

[Ladekabel]

Is Hybrid-Lock a thing? Played against an Handlock, who started with Voidcaller, then two turns nothing and then an Twilight Drake, into Mountain Giant followed by Nerubian Egg and Piloted Shredder. Destroyed him with a Lightwarden with two PW:S which just seemed to much for him.

And there is nothing quite as frustrating as losing with Priest against a Face Hunter who curves out perfectly and you only drawing your late-game.

 

[Levi]

Awful weekend for me. All I wanted to do is hit ten this weekend. Climb from 18 to 11,then fall to 15,and I've spent about 30 games bouncing between 15 and 14.

Been playing your standard Aspirant Druid, a demon handlock variant that maybe isn't as consistent as the tempostorm.com list but definitely more fun, and a pretty standard Control Warrior. I'll win streak a bit but then get destroyed with a bunch of bad match-ups and poor openings. See nothing but hunter until I switch to warrior and all of a sudden it's druids and mirrors all day.

I don't know if it's my greedy decks being punished by an aggressive meta or if I just belong at rank 15. I want to have fun with the decks I enjoy, but I also want to win with them. I don't want to play aggro. I don't find it fun.

Anyway, am I an idiot for trying to climb with non-aggressive decks?

Curiously, out of probably 60 games Sat and Sun, didn't see more than one or two secret Paladins. Guess they all already ranked up father than where I'm stalled.

Are you eu or na?

 

[bjaelke]

I think it comes down to maturity, or lack thereof.

That's a very predominant feature if you want to attract +5k viewers on Twitch.

 

[Vanillalite]

LTTP I guess

But I've seen a lot of people asking if people are NA or EU like there is a big disparity in play/ranks?

EU > NA plebs.

nah, but seriously the meta is slightly different, also i want to add some people.

I'm EU caesar#2952

 

[Pooya]

I'm pretty sure I'm a rogue magnet. I just lost to a miracle rogue, yeah you read that right lol.
I've seen more golden portrait rogues in the past few days that I've seen in like a year...

managing to find lethal vs iceblock, due to fatigue is so satisfying

You also learn from his stream, and he isn't as boring as Trump so win/win.

Woah man, hold the phone, that is the mayor you are talking about!

 

[Haunted]

I cannot fathom how people can watch Trump's actual streams. The supremely well-cut edits on his YT channel are where it's at.

 

[irfaanator]

i like savjz, sjow, and ryzen.

 

[ViviOggi]

Kolento, Lifecoach, Sjow and Savjz best strimmers. ADWCTA and Kripp for arena

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Hearthstone streams for me.

Ladder
Kibler(Where you at bro)
Savjz
Lothar

Arena
ADWCTA and Merps Used to watch Ratsmah but his thirstyness for Deernadia got cringey and not liking the music.

 

[irfaanator]

also kibler. He just started streaming again today. Was at the mtg pro tour

My fun homegrown decks tend to get stuck around rank 15 too, maybe a bit higher on a good streak but they've never made it as far as rank 10. I've always need to go aggro to push higher.

 

[Dahbomb]

So tomorrow we are finally going to say goodbye to the Grim Patron deck.

RIP in peace.

Hit face to pay respects.

The fact that most of this thread is rejoicing over the last actual combo deck getting deleted when the average Patron ladder player is a literal free win
