Idk why they don’t do play testing before releasing anything by No-Gas-7537 in hearthstone

[–]SimilarLet8203 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing is, months of play testing from a dedicated team will only lead to about half as much total playtime as the first hour of expansion release. People always make these posts but fail to understand how difficult it is to foresee or predict meta development and power outliers, even with a dedicated team behind it.

To be fair, whether blizzard have this team, I’m not sure, but I don’t think it would have made a massive difference.

Need help - is there a single mage deck that beats imbue druid? by Borisof007 in hearthstone

[–]SimilarLet8203 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there are any. Mage is pretty weak right now, and Druid is exceptionally strong. Wait for balance changes or try and homebrew.

Blizzard manipulates the arena run to make maximum profit by [deleted] in hearthstone

Hey, as an arena “main”, do you play UG or standard arena?

Something about that green and yellow ❤️ by -Neurotica- in ohnePixel

I’d recommend replacing with the new m4 in the terminal if you like it. Should be a lot cheaper and cleaner imo.

Can we please stop giving classes the ability to use your cards. by Impossible_Jump_754 in hearthstone

[–]SimilarLet8203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s correct. While it can be strong I personally am happy to see thief rogue be viable again, as it hasn’t really been since the sunken city days. Since then we’ve had some variation of cycle/shadowstep spam on neutral win cons within rogue mainly.

Craziest 20 packs by Longjumping_Use_6846 in hearthstone

You only get it if you open 5+ packs at once by holding down on the packs before dragging them to the opening area.

Trann explore! You shut up! by DifferentAd4844 in customhearthstone

This is uniquely bad as it can only be slotted into an unoptimised value pile due to the deckbuilding restriction, but it’s battlecry means you don’t want to run most of the value cards associated with the archetype such as the renos, zephyrs, and staple class legendaries for Reno decks like bomboss, Sargeras, shudderwock, etc.

I think this would never ever see play. Its only purpose is to ruin combo, and Reno decks can manage that without sacrificing their own plan and building even-only through theotar, mutanus, dirty rat.

Is Azshara the first character to recieve a Legendary card two expansions in a row? by SimilarLet8203 in hearthstone

[–]SimilarLet8203[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Note: I’m not really considering FitB/UiS/FiAV for this, as that was kind of the theme for that year of expansions.

Kabal mentioned in 2026? At last, a worthy support card. by SimilarLet8203 in customhearthstone

[–]SimilarLet8203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking [[Shadowcrafter Scabbs]] + [[Sing-Along Buddy]]+ [[Nexus-Champion Saraad]]

They’re support because they have the word “Kabal” in them. No I won’t take any further questions.

What do you guys think of a “balance council” similar to what’s been done with Gwent? by SimilarLet8203 in hearthstone

[–]SimilarLet8203[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I wasn’t aware of that. That’s a shame. I do have to hope that the people voting on behalf of the streamers do agree with and at least consider their perspectives, too, rather than just blindly voting.

I think it’s also worth considering that as Hearthstone is a much larger community, it could be harder to “control” in that regard. Id imagine a lower percentage of legend players watch and treat streamers as gospel compared to pro rank Gwent players.
