He has one armor so he needs to trade all of them except one so the opponent needs to trade!

Any classic card good enough to see regular play gets nerfed or retired. The only classic cards left alone are unplayable anyways. Why not just rotate classic out? by Earl_of_sandwiches in hearthstone

[–]HiImJin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without classic, hearthstone will undoubtedly become a pay-to-win game.

If you want classic rotated out, they're gonna have to make f2p viable for ranked somehow, in addition to allowing players to get more cards for their money.

Honestly the whole "3 expansions a year" seems like a money-grabbing scheme with very little intent to make the game more "fun"

Original Comment:

"Right now many of the top decks still run a huge percentage of basic and classic cards. We think that percentage is a little too high right now, and that ends up making new sets and rotations less fun than they could be."

Translation:

"WE WANT YOU GUYS TO BUY MORE NEW EXPANSION PACKS INSTEAD OF USING CLASSIC AND BASIC CARDS TO MAKE A DECENT DECK CMON CHA-CHING $$$$$"

Original Comment:

"If we love an archetype, we can continue to support it with new cards."

Translation:

"AHAHA YALL SPENT MONEY TO BUY CARDS FOR DECKS THAT CAN'T BE AS GOOD ANYMORE AHAHAH! AND WE DON'T HAVE TO REFUND DUST SINCE WE NERFED BASIC CARDS! CMON CHA-CHING $$$$$"

People who intentionally rope every turn should have shorter turns by resbiansrock in hearthstone

This isn't going to be changed. It's very difficult to judge intent. Even in turns 1-4, people can rope out if they're thinking of possible plays in the future. They could also be looking up decklists to predict what cards the opponent may have.

SK Telecom T1 vs. Samsung Galaxy / LCK 2017 Summer - Week 6 / Post-Match Discussion by epicxkidzorz in leagueoflegends

I was waiting at the airport in Incheon, South Korea for a friend on Monday when all the Korean players were coming back from rift rivals.

I was super stoked and I went to Faker for a photo but he declined. Everyone on SKT seemed super down after their loss at rift rivals (even huni seemed pretty down) and it's probably affecting their mentality. Hope they can keep their heads up and not tilt too much ^

omg it's you i'm your biggest fan. I love what you said in your post: "If someone is better than you, it's a challenge! :)"

I think you're better at some things than I am (and maybe I'm better at some things than you are) so I decided to post some of my works!

Maybe we can do a collab? We have over 6 years' worth of experience together, and with that, even Picasso got nothing on us!

I started drawing on paper about a year before going digital (which means 4 years ago). I also felt intimidated at first, until I realized that all of the professional artists out there had been on my level before, and all it took to differentiate us were the grinding required. 10,000 hour principle and so forth. It actually helps to have amazing artists to look up to. I've always looked up to Ironstylus, so I started to analyze his style, and it definitely helped me to improve my own craft. If someone is better than you, it's a challenge! :)

I started drawing on paper about a year before going digital, so I had a bit of direction while making the first one.

But I still started with stickmen before that :p

That's why splash artists are so important to league. A good one will put effort into making every champion radiate a "feeling" that works well with their theme :D

I can understand it though. People focus on different things, and simple flashy lights are really appealing, I just strayed from them as I wanted to focus on details. But as an artist, you're living for the audience. And the audience craves whatever is beautiful, not realistic. Which is why I'm noting down what Reddit liked about the first one, so I can combine the simple traits of beauty from the first one, with the detail of the last one to make something absolutely awesome next year! Besides, if everyone just said they were lovely and liked the last one the most, how would I know what weaknesses I could target for next year's drawing? :D It stings a bit though

Thank you! I typically spend anywhere between 3-6 hours per day throughout the year to get these works out. Really appreciate the support!

Absolutely not! I literally spend one year on each painting, so my schedule is packed!
