So I haven't had a chance to play since the start of the month, how have the latest nerfs gone down? Know HSReplay is a bit slow to update, but it makes it look like the meta is relatively stable.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:Is VS not updating anymore or something? It does, just its last update (16th April) was pre-nerf and they've been silent since. quote:Demon Hunter entered the meta with a bang. The biggest bang. Before the quick balance changes that arrived only a day after the launch of Ashes of Outland, the class’ popularity ranged between 50% and 60% across all leagues (!!!). We’ve never seen anything like it. It was the combination of the player base’s excitement in trying out the new class, and the class’ power level being completely broken. After the nerfs, Demon Hunter declined to a more ‘modest’ play rate of around 30%, which is typical of the normally oppressive and overpowered classes we’ve seen throughout Hearthstone’s history. Just another day at the office.

Just remove it hitting face and Altruis would be fine. Given the Altruis swing turns (I've seen the Kibler clip) also come with the DH hitting you for substantial damage, it's currently a Warpath that develops a board and along with a Pyroblast.

AnacondaHL posted:They really wanted to make sure that the Outcast mechanic wasn't a flop out of the gate, for obvious marketing and monetary reasons. It's the reason why Twin Slice isn't in Classic, it's in the Initiate set that will rotate out of Standard eventually. Blizzard have also said they're not settled yet on what will/won't make the DH basic set cut come the end of the year, so they might swap some cards in and out. I wouldn't be surprised if Twin Slice made their base set, it feels like an essential card to get their whole kit working. Very comparable to Backstab for Rogue.

GTO posted:I love all the random powerful turns you get these days but I find yoggs puzzle box just too random. Has anyone done stats on the likely outcome if you play it in different board states? (ie you control the board vs they do). Feels like it has lost me more games than it has won. Funnily enough, yes. When Yogg was first revealed, someone made a "Yogg Testing Site". With the average Yogg of 10 spells, same as Puzzle Box, on an average board (the site had you with one River Croc and your opponent had one Yeti) it was estimated that Yogg would be favourable to you 60% of the time. Favourable ranged widly from "Overall you dealt 2 to Yogg and your face, but you Siphon Soul'ed their 4/5" to "You Call of the Wild'ed twice, cast Bloodlust seven times, and Pyroblast'ed their face". Now that was back when Old Gods was released, and cards have gotten stronger since then. I wouldn't be shocked if it's about 65% now.

Proposed question, do you think the game has power-crept enough that they could reintroduce Azure Drake back into Standard next year without any issues? Realise they HoF'ed it because it was too efficient at what it did, but I forgot the card even existed until going through my collection today.

So I just had the weirdest bug I've ever seen in the game. I desynced from a match, so I force-quit and rejoined. When I rejoined, I had a new hand. It was still my turn, and I definitely had a new hand because I was playing Mecha'thun, and had Plot Twist + Hemet removed from my hand. Anyone else experience this? Edit: Related, I still think the best feeling in the game is OTK'ing a Druid/Warrior with 50 armour

Releasing it as OP as it was only bred contempt for the class though, which I'd argue is going to stick around a lot longer. To be honest they should have never released a tenth class to begin with, and it smacks to me more a corporate decision than a creative one. Maybe that's a bit  but given Blizzard-Activision's record the past couple of years, I wouldn't be shocked if that's the case.Edit: Like I could pretty easily imagine an Outland set that had Outcast as one of the set mechanics for all classes, and Illidan as a Lich King/Ysera style card that gave you "DH" cards.

So here's the image you get for completing the story (it's not really worth a spoiler): Sharing because it's incredibly jarring that this is the reward you get while Illidan and Aranna are making bad love rhymes at each-other. Also the image is in the same style as previous promotion posters and as far as I know this is the first time its been publicly released (here's the RoS' poster for comparison, also the AoS poster that's been used up until now for contrast).   I'd be fascinated to find out the development of AoO. Guess this is but between this and the trailer song, I'm thinking DH's were a late addition to AoS that overtook the sets' initial focus.

Gully Foyle posted:Agreed, this boss is such bullshit. Every single game he's played the Draw 3, summon any minion drawn and gets like a 5/7 taunt, a big rush card, and the one demon that discounts a card in his hand every turn. And I get mostly basic Hunter/Rogue cards to deal with that? Maybe, just maybe I can get a mildly overpowered card (IF it's in Outcast position)? gently caress that indeed. I don't know how but I was actually winning against Kanrethad going into turn 6 and had an impressive grip on the board, then I got Vanished by the event that was meant to help me, and lost

Not to dump even further on the story mode, but Aranna is a lazily written character. Maybe I shouldn't expect so much from HS, but the writing is usually solid/fun. Give us more of the Sporelok, he was neat.

kaesarsosei posted:Holy gently caress but the Wild Ladder has become a cesspit this last few days. People have woken up to how massive a buff Twin Slice was to Odd DH and it's everywhere now. If your deck can't handle Odd DH then it's completely pointless. It's kind of sad that Blizzard can't address Odd DH currently either without kneecap'ing Standard DH. Also if they did nerf Odd DH Blizzard would kill off its only successful Wild deck. I think we'll see Odd DH nerfs once all the current DH stuff rotates out next year, until then buckle for for several more months of a VERY aggressive Wild meta. Just going to say again, DH is a mess and has killed a lot of interest I've had in any constructed format.

Cant Ride A Bus posted:I know Magtheridon isn’t great and doesn’t see a lot of play but I just learned that if you transform one of the minions he generates he gets locked dormant for the rest of the game. Yeah it's intentional given the wording on the Wardens is that they need to "die", whereas transforming a minion is exactly that. Doesn't kill the minion, just transforms it. I'd say for my money, Magtheridon might be one of the worst cards ever printed. Still it's funny and reminds me of days when Evolve Shaman rolled into multiple Darknesses

Yeah Altrius clears the board, deals additional face damage, and it usually doesn't cost card advantage since DH has so many cantrips. Imagine a 4 mana Abyssal Enforcer, that then also gives your hero +6 attack.

Fenarisk posted:gently caress this game and gently caress DH especially. I shouldn't heal 24 health in a game, have 2 taunts up, and, and still die because Kayn is a card that should have never been printed. "Kayn's effect on the game was more substantial than our internal testing revealed, making Taunt a liability to the point that players were effectively wasting their turns playing Taunt minions against Demon Hunters. As such we feel that rising Kayn to 5 mana, whilst also raising his attack to 4 to somewhat offset the mana increase, will help promote more interactive games." Anarchy reigns, death to Wild.
