Gee, you'd think after months of loving up achievements for their PvE bullshit they'd fix it so you wouldn't have to do the adventures over again after finishing them the first time.

Orange Crush Rush posted:Kibler said on Twitter that he had like an 80% win rate against Secret Paladin, and wondered if people are just pretty bad at not playing into Paladin secrets atm. enki42 posted:Definitely I feel like no one is really thinking about counterplay right now. There's zero weapon removal out there, despite weapons being pretty core to the gameplans of Warrior, Rogue and Paladin (not that Warrior is really in the meta much, but still), and people do all sorts of dumb stuff against paladin secrets, like taking out 1-1s when there's another minion on board and a secret up (triggering Avenge), or dumping all their mana and not testing for Oh my Yogg at all, even when they're not really in a desperate position, or like I mentioned earlier, leaving Silver Hand Recruits up when they could be pinged down with a hero power. Sounds to me like maybe everyone's playing DoL mage, which secret paladin does very well against, giving the impression that Secret Paladin needs a nerf while DoL mage isn't as big of an issue, even though for most other decks DoL is a disastrous matchup while Secret Paladin isn't that bad if you're good at playing around the secrets.

Secret paladin's WR is definitely inflated by good matchup versus mage, but it still has a ridiculous amount of early tempo that makes playing against it a miserable experience for normal decks. Even if you're being thoughtful about playing around things, there's so many times it's "damned if you do, damned if you don't". And then if you do manage to survive to mid game, their deck is now full of just the good draws.

For the record I do think SoF is broken as balls and needs a nerf, I just don’t think the rest of Paladin is really causing a lot of problems. The only thing I’d see nerfed that would affect them is Pen Flinger, and honestly not having to worry about Rogue bursting me down before I can play Hope or whatever is something I’d call a win.

Not sure how they'll handle SoF. Reducing it to 1/2 means it's still strong. Most decks only run 5 secrets so the third swing is dead sometimes anyway. The deck thinning element is the strongest, so I think changing it to draw a secret or reduce costs of a secret in hand will probably kill the card.

Maybe make it something like a 3 mana 2/2 instead? I'm just thinking that'd make it similar power-level to Livewire Lance.

The deck thinning isn't important, it's that it's ~5 mana of value on a 2 mana card (and you get almost 2 mana of value out of it on the very first turn you play it). Even a 1 mana nerf would be a really big deal if they still wanted the card to be crazy strong.

Don't forget it's not unusual for Paladins to have 3+ Librams of Hope for 6 Mana. That's a lot of heal and taunts. Speaking of which ... what time is it? It's motherfucking TOPDECK O'CLOCK! (Not a Paladin, I'm aware.)

Wow this warrior deck in the brawl is super annoying. Just 100% focused on Rush and has 2 "draw weapon" spells even though it also only has 2x one weapon. Actually queued into the mirror match which probably didn't help matters. Almost died of boredom, died of fatigue instead

the Mage mirror match is also really dull, it's the hero power/secrets package so there's absolutely no burn the game I played basically came down to us each pinging each other until one of us died

Secret paladin isn't as good nowadays. I went from a 68% WR and tanked hard this week, including two aggro decks, lunacy mage that drew the nuts, control warlocks, and an oh my yogg that turned the enemy spell into humility allowing them to get past 2 taunts for exact lethal. People are absolutely teaching against it easily.

Can we take a moment and talk about the biggest lie in Hearthstone? I'm talking about this button right here:  That button has never, not a single godamn time, reconnected me to the game. It's literally a button that should say "shut down hearthstone so you can restart it manually."

Youd think that would be hard to play against since now the opponent knows you have an oh my yogg but they still played a twisting nether right into it.

I'm playing it right now to tide me over while the meta shakes out and i know what to craft. Only needed a Kazakus for Libram Paladin as it was. My MVP of the rotation is Bladed Cultist because First day of School loves to give it me.

the swing granted by deal damage to two enemy minions + poisonous is funny, and also if you have an absolutely gigantic brain it's hilarious to make a 10-cost golem right before the druid you're against casts celestial alignment. otherwise, yeah, not very inspiring

I got a win with one where I had an opponent down to 10 hp but the only way I had to finish was if I managed to roll stealth on a 10/10 golem and the other guy couldn't kill me on their turn. It worked out (I summoned a copy as well) but I felt pretty lucky afterward.

It helped me win against the "turn your poo poo into a 3/3" guy in the new PvE challenge. Getting Stealth was the only way to keep something on board and unchanged heading into the subsequent turn.

Secret Paladin is insanely favored against aggro decks, like 70-30 or 80-20 in some cases. It's also 60-40 vs Control Warlock. So yea boo hoo sorry you couldn't maintain 68% WR, but even at 56% or so the deck is Tier S.

Haven’t played in a while, since around the time they added the Demon Hunter. Have some gold to spend, do I want to just buy packs from the expansion or should I get this (outdated?) mini bundle with a set of cards for 2k gold?

I dunno it's quite nice for curving into 2x 5/5 Rushes vs aggro or a 5/5 stealth that draws 2 vs control. Just got my 1000th Paladin win with this thing and hit Diamond 5 so I'll probably call it there for a bit, don't want to contribute to the nerf demands too much.

I don’t do this often but shadowstepped 1 mana golem is 1 mana draw 2. I’d only do this if I’m close to lethal and am missing damage, usually it’s 5 mana stealth draw 2, which is quite op too.

Can someone explain to me why Ice Walker and reckless apprentice doesnt end up with the enemy board frozen? https://hearthstone.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Walker https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/cards/63059-reckless-apprentice/ Every other hero power buff seems to apply (i.e. damage increases), so why doesn't the freeze?
