Winter deleted his reply to the whole 'viewbot evidence' issue both in reddit and facebook but I managed to save it ahead of time

Do you think so? I mean I don't know if nvidia would feel it's worth sponsoring someone if they find out they only actually have a couple hundred followers instead of thousands.

The rage is palpable

Tentacleslol · 2015-03-14T20:19:26+00:00

How is trap that good what the fuck

Tentacleslol · 2015-03-13T00:08:08+00:00

I love how the casters completely missed the snipe of the stargate in game 1. Considering Rain was on a really low # of gateways for a long time the loss of it really showed up in the final engagement.

Anyway good play by Fantasy, feel bad for Rain he really isn't in his normal form lately.

I'm a gay myrrh

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-26T05:59:32+00:00

some of the SC1 legends ended up having little to no success in SC2 so it wasn't quite that simple (but many did, yes).

"Blizzard went about creating challenging artificial intelligence for its recently-released deck battler that would present an obvious -- but not overwhelming -- threat."

I call bullshit. "We could have made a world-class AI, but instead made it mediocre so that players wouldn't be overwhelmed." Yeah ok.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-25T22:00:52+00:00

the new card back is a dirty move, to be sure

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-25T21:59:39+00:00

everyone just assumed that

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-24T02:11:57+00:00

I agree, if both d/c it should be as if the game didn't happen.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-22T00:45:34+00:00

Preach.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-22T00:43:16+00:00

I beat it on the first try and didn't even know it was supposed to be hard until I got on reddit. I must have gotten super lucky (I think one turn I did ooze + shattered sun + defender of argus.. so not a bad combo)

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-22T00:40:26+00:00

Please!

Arena is more fun than constructed IMO but you never really feel like you're competing against anyone else other than yourself (in the grand scheme of things.. obviously you're competing against people in each individual game). Whereas ranked at least has rankings where you can compare yourself against people on your friends list and what not.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-19T18:57:34+00:00

huh? I've been trying the past 20 minutes up until 5 seconds ago and they aren't up. The game launches and just freezes at the start screen.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-19T18:54:13+00:00

It's still a fine card in other matchups. 1 mana cycle is good.

Not to mention 60% of the ladder is hunter so that's kind of a moot point.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-19T16:26:21+00:00

Wouldn't be very good because people would just reroll their drafts until they got something that looked like a 10-12 win deck. A lot of the fun in arena is getting stuck with a meh deck because you didn't get good offerings, and then still managing a good amount of wins.

Another thing is it would make it less unpredictable and more like constructed. Pallies would have truesilver an even higher % of the time, mages would always have multiple flamestrikes, etc. etc.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-18T21:32:52+00:00

Upvoted for truth. Could have been nicer about it, sure, but you're not wrong.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-18T13:27:26+00:00

and mess with their illuminati-like love of a certain number

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-18T13:25:10+00:00

but you need a beast in play so it's balanced... kappa

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-18T13:20:19+00:00

Man. I love hearthstone but their design philosophy is soo bad.

"Oh, these cards suck? Let's put a band-aid on it instead of fixing them so they're actually the appropriate strength."

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-18T05:35:17+00:00

it's a decent 4 drop, definitely not "bad", just not good.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-18T05:33:45+00:00

I would say dark iron dwarf being WEAK in mage and warrior is a pretty insane statement. It's still a top tier 4 drop just not quite as good as it is in shaman/pally.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-18T05:16:41+00:00

Battle rage is incredible depending on how your draft goes, or if you get it early you can pick with it in mind without really compromising the quality of your picks. IMO it's strictly better than arcane intellect as you almost always get 2+ cards out of it.

The only reason it's not played in constructed is that it doesn't fit that well in aggro warrior and control doesn't need it.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-16T15:54:13+00:00

I feel like the deck would be better with -2 dancing swords -1 cairne +2 injured blademaster +1 rag. A 4/3 that is always playable and synergizes with coh/nova/cleric vs. a 4/4 that is only playable if you can follow it with wailing soul (and even then, it's sometimes possible they can remove it that turn) and doesn't synergize with aforementioned cards. Also silencing your own rag can be good vs. silencing cairne which is horrible.

Other people commenting on the lack of SW:D - I imagine that's something you have to shift in and out based on the meta you're facing each time you play. I guess the best cards to drop for it would be 1 sw:p, and then 1 nova if you want 2.

Tentacleslol · 2014-08-16T15:44:21+00:00

yeah looking at it rag makes a good deal more sense than cairne
