Those people will only get so far...Consistent strong deck and play get you up the ladder. The random people will just hit a plateau and grind their gears at some point (usually at Rank 5).
I think you're crazy...They removed most of the instant kill mechanics, or reduced them. Just because you get killed by leeroy and unstable from one deck (that has basically remained unchanged since the start of the game), doesn't make it a toxic Meta. If someone defines toxic as loss of...
I think it takes a special type of insanity, or luck to cruise from Rank 5 to Legend. I've done it a few times now and it is not the same as getting from 25 to 4...Getting from 25 to 4 is fun. Getting from 5 to Legend has NEVER been fun.
I'm hired subs through TEK before...The amount they chop off the top from their subs is pretty sick. Especially since they don't kick me free lunches enough to justify it!
For last week or so I've only played Zoo...My rule was once a day until I lost...In the last 7 days I went from rank 6 to 4 stars into rank 2. I'm deciding whether I care enough to push to Legend in the next few...Or see if my steady rate continues with Zoo.
When coming from MTG to Hearthstone, the biggest adjustment is how much more important tempo is...MTG has tempo, but it is fundamentally different. The lack of interactive plays via instants/interrupts changes the game dramatically.
I'm of the opinion they could have turned knife juggler into a 1/1 and it would still be an auto-add in every Zoo. Fuck, you could make a 0/1 and I bet it would STILL make it.
And you would be wrong. Finley allows flexibility on a crappy hero power. You get totem counts from tuskar and totem golems...And frankly, if you get 1 or 2 discount thats plenty. This is tempo and play based.
I hope they keep going, but maybe change the characters and focus...Like American Horror Story, or The Wire...Each season focuses on a different group, but they keep the legacy characters to drive the main plot.
It DID feel like a finale though.
I agree that control shammy would be at a disadvantage yo aggro, but I'm talking about it's effectiveness in the rock, paper, scissors of the Meta. We shall see...At this point a lot of us have ventured opinions, whereas others have just nay-say'd everything.
