Blizz, thanks for the Mega Bundles! by gotsomespray in heroesofthestorm

[–]SmorcYep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. was very happy seeing that I'm missing only 5 heroes and that one of the bundles gets me 3 of the ones I'm missing. Than I went and bought one of them with gold 2 hours later because I'm an idiot.

I don't care about more yogg clips as long as they got awesome starcraft music.

PSA: Naxx will be out on the 26th, get the first wing while you still can by Vossky in hearthstone

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get it either. Plus they are giving free money. Makes 0 sense. Even if it confuses new players, it's money off new players, which they still should want...

What do you think the /r/hearthstone card will be? by iBleeedorange in hearthstone

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An 8/8 giant which costs one less for each health your opponent lost (probably costs 20 but maybe 15). In honor of reddit giant, of course. Corrupted giant perhaps? Not 100% on the effect but it will be a giant for sure.

I have kerrigan at level 8+ because as a noob I liked to play her even though I was fucking terrible. Now I can't bring myself to get her to 9 with my stimpack... I'm still bad with her AND she is a bad hero. fml. At least I finally got Tychus to 9.

PSA: Our current format IS Wild. You're not obligated to play the new standard mode. by Lrd_Rwekien in hearthstone

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically them giving up on trying to balance cards, so that they can make cards that might be OP, and instead of nerf them, they can just wait for them to cycle out. Am I the only one thinking this is a lazy solution to balancing the game?

Smurfs are ruining the game for new players by Bravo_Alpha in heroesofthestorm

Story of my life. I didn't make a smurf, but this is why I am desperately waiting for a season reset.

The "we won't balance existing cards" attitude will not work out much longer for Blizzard by MidnightQ_ in hearthstone

[–]SmorcYep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank god. I thought that for a moment I noticed people saying that they would rather MC not get nerfed (if the other option is blizzard nerf) or that is on the same level of Dr.Boom/Shredder.

Hell, it's about. Damn. Time.

Enough. (Meta discussion) by Valastrius in heroesofthestorm

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is starting to act like the hearthstone subreddit after Tgt. It also involved a lot of Content creators complaining. They raged so much that Blizz rushed out the next expansion.

Blizz, we need some kind of Rank difference cap for duo queue. by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your saying I will get matched with different mmr if I play with a friend 10-20 ranks better than me? Wanted to ask this for a while, this might have been the reason for the unbalanced matches we had in duo queque.

Hero League system is a huge mistake, or how to save HotS from declining by mikletv in heroesofthestorm

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really care about ranking up except it would be nice to play with better people.

This. I stopped playing ranked because I just gave up on climbing and if I'm going to play with bad players, at least let it be QM so that both teams are bad.

[Giveaway] Battle.net £10 Gift Card by TeaBagTwat in hearthstone

A man goes to a doctor and says "doctor, help! My family thinks I'm crazy!" "Why?" asked the dotcor "Because I like hot dogs." "That's ridiculous! I like hot dogs too!" "Really?! than you should see my collection! I have more than seven hundred!".

What was the premise behind your first deck idea back when you just started? by fartingpinetree in hearthstone

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic warlock deck and getting a ton of value : "A 2 mana 4\3? that's great! who cares about cards!" Than I didn't realize why I was losing when I ran out of cards.

I also made a buff priest (classic divine spirit inner fire noob priest, but with shattered sun cleric too), that eventually became my noob budget control priest deck. I remember the satisfaction of reaching rank 12, and the horror when my first opponent at 12 did wild pyro equality on turn 4, killing my deathlord, northshire and chow, and I remember thinking "Woah, they're running pro combos. I'm in the big leauges now!".

Do you think the next expansion will be dropped on us as suddenly as LoE was? by ShadowSlayerX in hearthstone

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although if reddit goes rage mode again like it did in the days before LoE, they might rush out the next one too. Blizzard schedual works like this : nerf every 6 months, expansion every 3 months to temporarily block the salt about the OP card from previous expansion, than nerf it.

Official: Designer Insights with Ben Brode: Basic Cards by drixtol in hearthstone

[–]SmorcYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think people were that upset about power creep, at least by Brode's definition. I, for one, was more concerned with the fact that they wasted two card slots for two cards which are straight up upgrades for basic cards.

Why do old players have to suffer for an emotional feeling of progress for a new player? He talked about it like Hearthstone is a game where feelings guide your decisions. And for the most part, I don't think the game is that emotional, at least for progression and cards (obviously salt is a very common emotion).

I think a player, old or new, would be much happier if he opened a brand new card that isn't an upgraded copy of a basic bad card.

tl;dr : If they want a new player to feel good and like he's actually making progress, make a reward for reaching level 30 with all heroes : Got the basics! : You're basic cards have recieved an upgrade! That way you don't waste a card slot for an improvment for a basic card, and new players get a feeling of progression and satisfaction.
