last night I ignored it when someone added me as a friend. the notification popped up immediately after I won a game based on the fact that illidari inquisitor will attack whatever your hero attacks even if it's frozen. felt pretty confident as to their intent

I pretty much never accept/send friend requests unless they had a fun deck or it was a crazy match. Only one time it was somebody salty that I didn't "let" them complete their combo when I was playing some homebrew combo garbage myself.

I wish rage adds weren’t 95% of them. If I’m adding someone after a game chances are I just wanna know what deck they were running, but nobody ever accepts

It's super annoying. I lose a good game and all I want is the decklist that just hosed me but people think i'm like the guy who told me that he's going to kill me and my entire n-word family (note: I am so pale that I look like a cheap porcelain doll). I'm still amazed this game has ZERO word filters in the chat.

Just got a cool Ogremancer lethal. Love making people regret using that card.  Currently at Diamond 2 with a Kombo deck after peaking at 9 pre-nerf, so my drive to make legend is reignited. I mainly climbed through Diamond with a mid-rangey deck running Kodo, but I'm starting to try out something with Wolpertinger after watching some play from the master hunter deathstar. This kind of turns it into a "choose your own win condition", with Wolpers, Rhino, Krush being early, mid, and late game respectively. ### CYO adventure # Class: Hunter # Format: Standard # Year of the Gryphon # # 1x (1) Adorable Infestation # 2x (1) Arcane Shot # 1x (1) Overwhelm # 2x (1) Tracking # 2x (1) Trueaim Crescent # 2x (1) Wolpertinger # 2x (1) Wound Prey # 1x (2) Bloodmage Thalnos # 1x (2) Bola Shot # 2x (2) Imprisoned Felmaw # 2x (2) Quick Shot # 2x (2) Selective Breeder # 1x (3) Death's Head Cultist # 1x (3) Mankrik # 1x (3) Professor Slate # 2x (4) Warsong Wrangler # 1x (5) Barak Kodobane # 2x (5) Trampling Rhino # 1x (8) Beastmaster Leoroxx # 1x (9) King Krush # AAECAR8KtrsDudADudID5NQDjeQDmOoD5e8D5/AD4Z8El6AECqK5A6LOA+HOA4biA+rpA/DsA9vtA6mfBKqfBLugBAA= # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone

I've never really thought about it because...well, when your gaming background is CS, there are no insults under the sun that can faze or surprise you. My experience with rage adds isn't as bad as 95%. Optimistically like 60% rage adds maybe? But frankly, I look forward to both kinds so it's aight. I very rarely add my own opponents though unless it was a truly spectacular game, like once or twice a year max.

Can anyone comment on Frozen's play in this video? I didn't understand what he was doing with the heals. It's a five minute video because that's how long it took him to lose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlHHPo4vu_A

He was in a hole and needed to get outs. Healing face doesn't trigger Sethekk Veilweaver's ability. He used one instantly looking for Holy Smite (or whatever to deal with 3/3), then used the next most valuable targetable spell in Hysteria and then reluctantly the final heal on Sethekk in a last ditch effort. He's doing it because he knows that if he doesn't get rid of the 3/3, that's repeatable damage for which he has zero answers for in hand. All NoHands needs to do is clear his board which he is almost guaranteed to have because he essentially knows the Secret is Rigged Faire Game after playing a minion and spells and he's doomed to lose to burn anyway. Healing face only delays the inevitable. He would almost 100% used it face if he had managed to get Holy Smite earlier in the turn.

This meta sucks. Every day I'm like well let's see if I can have some fun in hearthstone today. Then I get mauled by complete bullshit and god hands, and alt+f4. Today it was a Shaman with a lightning bloomed doomhammer, that has also somehow found double rockbiter AND diligent notetaker, hitting me in the face for 10 on turn 4 and 16 damage on turn 5. I hate this dumb game right now. Shaman is not even the worst offender but the fact that these highroll possibilities exist and I perceive them happening so frequently is so endlessly frustrating to me.

it's 50/50 from my experience if you go full aggro and make them have all their removal you have a fairly good chance, if you play passively and let them draw too much you are guaranteed to lose so uh. don't do that

Wooh, made it to (dumpster) legend!   Final boss was beaten in the most unceremonious fashion, with lethal being just out of reach multiple times. Losing a 50/50 Felmaw attack, I was 1 mana off of getting behind the 6/6 taunt.  They healed up with Alex next turn, putting me 2 off lethal. I still played the naked Krush and just hoped to end it with a topdeck.  Tracking whiffed next turn, but managed to topdeck Slate the turn after to swing the board back from their Soulciologist that summoned one 3/3. Somehow, they just didn't have an answer with 6 cards in hand.    Just came down to who had more rotten luck, and thankfully it wasn't me.

Off the back of this, is it still possible to clear Knights of the Frozen Throne and get the Arthas Paladin hero or is it turbo busted? If so I might have myself a project for my day off at the end of the week!

If you're good enough and have enough time you could do it in one day, but I wouldn't stress about hitting legend now if you haven't made Diamond 5 yet. Unrelated, if you don't play often nows a good time to start saving up the 2000 gold for mini expansion that comes out probably next month.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:the secret of battlegrounds is that the higher MMR the less fun the games are by a staggering amount; just concede a bunch of games until you’re down to like 4-5k and have fun again This is what I ended up doing. To be fair I also had the motive of clearing out achievements (lol) because some heroes are just impossible to win with at higher MMR (Sindragosa in particular was something of a white whale). Even so I inexplicably still don't have Top 1 for Al'Akir and Rakanishu despite that I know I've won with both of them before the cheevo patch. Also I managed to clear the 60/60 Tabbycat achievement, which no way in hell would I even try at competitive levels. All that's left other than brute force # of wins is Ruler of Threes (unfortunately I only managed a 9-triple game before the Khadgar/Brann nerf so this one is gonna be a pain to get) and brb (maybe possible if I keep tanking). edit: knocked out Ro3 with Jandice after barely missing it with Millhouse due to forgetting that I had a gold minion I had on the board (because it was the same minion) I could have sold, noticing too late, and running out of time before I could move my hand fast enough to do it. Glad that's over. The only challenge cheevo left is brb. edit 2: got brb. now it's Rakanishu turning out to be my white whale edit 3: I edit old posts because it's not worthwhile to bump with my complaining Get Rakanishu in a low MMR lobby. Proceed to get THREE opponents who all go Dragons AND get gold Whelps and blow me off the board. I can't even. edit 4: finally got it against a mech Greybough who took the advice to never level off of Tavern 4 as mechs a little bit too much to heart when faced down against 2 monstrous cleaves.

Same, with libram secret pally. Contesting the board early is key with that deck, getting two one drops down on turn one on the coin puts you in such a good position if you have a hand of adal or even a libram. The 'draw a holy spell' 1 drop is great for tutoring too.

If the board is static and your deck is out, Kibler would play Envoy and Neeru on the same turn, so I got mixed up. But yeah, Envoy as or after the portal is out.
