    "Nearly." Forsen played around with it too for several hours. It deranked him, overall, but he played around with it. Just because someone is playing something doesn't mean it got them to their current rank. Actually in legends most people are experimenting, the only reason to do anything else...

    Kolento's deck. Not in legends. In tournaments, yes, usually played by Kolento. Dog's ramp Druid is more common on ladder. Which makes sense, he got legends rank 1 with it for a while after all.

    Hearthstone

    You left out Priest, which has been ubiquitous the last month in the pro scene. Also Rogue has been nearly non-existent, if you're talking about recent events you can take that off the list. If you're talking about ladder, Warlock, Priest, Hunter, and Warrior are getting the highest win...

    You realize Miracle is pretty much already dead, yes? Not being played in high level tournaments. The best Miracle streamers have been fiddling with it for a couple of weeks and their rank goes down overall when they play it. Forsen has this new build where he dropped Shadowsteps and Leeroy...

    Man Kills Drunk Driver Who Killed His Kids - Your Take

    So you have zero experience with our legal system then, got it. DAs pick and choose what will and won't be prosecuted, even if something is against the law (example: kids taking nude pictures of themselves is technically child pornography, not all cases of this are prosecuted). That is the first...

    Hearthstone

    Most people tend to feel that card games in general are "basically RNG" when they start out. Hell, ask anyone who isn't a poker player if poker is luck or not, most people will say it is just luck. Yet the same people go to the world tournament every year. Hearthstone has a lot of randomness...

    There isn't really a difference. You define what you're looking for when you use a dating website, but it isn't like there is one site for professionals, one site for recently back on the market, one site for etc. Just go on OKC. By far the best designed one and overall the most popular.

    Doomed as a nation

    What I'm hearing here is that I bought a lot of lumber at Lowe's over the last few months and I live in California... I kid, I kid. I wouldn't feel bad for not knowing this. If you've never built anything, why would you? I figured it out when I hauled home a bunch of scrap wood from some...

    Level 60 Paladin. 23 levels to go. Not doing so great on the one/day thing, but I'm chipping away at it. I wish Rogue were stronger right now, I want my golden Sen'jins.

    That wouldn't be charging the manufacture of the car though... his analogy holds. That'd be something like tiered data plans/caps (which is also something people are fighting against). Australia has a huge problem with caps, they get away with it because they have basically one ISP. It doesn't...

    Miracle was already pretty dead. Watching Forsen and Hyped play it on stream, arguably two of the best Miracle Rogue players, they were still losing quite a bit. Over 50% I think. You haven't seen it in tournaments lately either. Loatheb and Sludge Belcher wounded it, this is a nail in the...

    Hearthstone

    Something always confused me was Buzzard being changed from a 2/2 to a 2/1. The stated reason was that Hunters were winning vs Mages (and some other classes) too often. This was back when OTK Hunter was the only Hunter. According to their internal stats, Hunters were beating Mages very often...

    There are always regional differences. Some areas OKC is huge. Some areas PoF. Some areas there honestly isn't much of anything regardless of the site you use. It just varies.

    embarrassing/odd unplanned sex moments.

    Friction cuts are very common when you don't have proper lubrication, they can happen with vaginal as well. Yet another reason anal sex is dangerous (open cuts in a bacteria rich environment? Yeah) if not done correctly. Actually one of the primary reasons anal sex puts you at a higher risk for...

    Leeroy at 5 seems reasonable. I always thought Buzzard should draw a card for each beast that dies. It makes more sense thematically and not being able to UTH to draw into Hunter's Mark and then remove the big taunt would make a huge practical difference in how effective UTH actually is.

    If you don't care about rank, sure. I actually got to rank 10 with mine last season before I had to switch decks. It is really bad vs Hunter though. I've been thinking about a Rogue mill deck actually. Mukla, Coldlights, Shadowstep being the core. Haven't actually tried to flesh it out and...

    Man Kills Drunk Driver Who Killed His Kids - Your Take

    You mean if the circumstances were different, people might have a different opinion? Surely you jest. But the circumstances aren't different. The guy was at over twice the legal limit, he did run these kids down (he didn't even brake), and he got shot. Whether the dad shot him honestly isn't...

    Sometimes it is just a lack of focus. Also decks, and players, are getting better. If you don't want to netdeck, you have to really think about the most common netdecks you're going to run into and how to beat them. If I go to Twitch, click on the guy with the most viewers who is running...

    Sludge Belchers give Rogue a bad time (both Miracle and Backspace). I think that is the primary reason the win rate for it is way down. It'll never go away as a deck, at a minimum it'll always be good in tournaments, but as far as ladder decks go I don't think it is a good choice. That said I...

    There are several good Shaman decks that will beat Hunter. It comes down to how you play the match up. Crusher Shaman, for instance, is really good vs Hunter, but it is easy to play incorrectly.

    Hearthstone

    Use the Shaman base deck. All the heroes are basically weak to certain other heroes. Just play their weakness. Mage beats Shaman. Shaman beats Druid. It is kind of like playing a Megaman, it is easier if you do the levels in the right order because you have the bosses weakness, right? Same deal.

    It depends. I remember there was one bargain LASIK place in L.A. that had the highest success rate of anyone except for the guy who all the LASIK doctors go to when they want LASIK. Why? They'd done the most procedures and had the most experience with everything. Nothing ever came up that was...

    Priest can be built to counter anything with an absurdly high win rate, it is pretty incredible. But you need to know exactly what you're going up against so it makes for a so-so ladder deck experience. Like when Amaz is ranking up he has four variants of Priest he switches between.

    Original control Warrior had a problem with Sunshine Hunter, true. It added one Cleave and the win rate jumped to like 75% for the Warrior. Just like one BGH increased the win rate by 25% vs Handlock. Single cards can make a big difference. If you are really struggling vs Highmane, add a Cleave...

    Control Warrior is great post-Naxx. It got so many tools. It is one of the top ladder classes and everyone is running it in tournaments. Hunter is a little too good right now and Mage is awful outside of arena. All the other classes are in pretty good shape.

Then I ran into a bunch of Druids and it hurt. But you can race Hunter, all you need is a deck with more reach. They only run...
