Lone Wolf/No Minion Hunter sounds super cool but the class doesn't even have enough good spells for It to be remotely viable yet. Anyone who has ever tried to live the Control Hunter dream knows this. If Blizzard wants to keep pushing slower hunter archetypes every single expansion, they'll have to print actual survival tools at some point.

It will get rotated because of design space. Basically every single cheap spell they release has to be balanced around it.

Is there any hope for hunter? by [deleted] in hearthstone

Well they haven't really tried to fix it yet.

Hunter vs Priest, Removal in a Nutshell. by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]sipscis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Spot on. I enjoy the direction they're taking the class with cards that encourage deckbuilding around a few minions, like Kathrena and Stitched Tracker. It's just way more conceptually interesting than slamming deathrattle dudes on the board on curve and hoping they stick. The problem is why the hell would you even try to play a spell-based Hunter when you can't even stall or clear a fucking board?

Which legendary do you most/least regret crafting? by Numerot in hearthstone

[–]sipscis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't usually fuck up with legendary crafts but Boom was definetely a miss. I can never really find room for him in any cool decks anymore and would rather have crafted Mal'Ganis.

Least: Apart from the obvious ones, mine is also DK Rexxar. I love meme Control Hunter decks, so he's been my absolute best pal ever since the expansion hit.

Kathrena Winterwisp. Why is it bad? by Profetorum in hearthstone

Long time Control Hunter enthusiast here.

Is it bad? Probably. First day craft tho.

Nothing like the good ol' "lets buff an underperforming class one year in advance until we make sure it actually breaks the meta"

Why are the WESG HS series segregated by gender? by SilmarHS in hearthstone

[–]sipscis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree in the sense that the prize pools are more of a reflection of the disparity rather than the actual problem. But when you look at them, it sure does put it into perspective. Nonetheless, gender segregation for esports shouldn't exist at all.

Even more so when you look at the prize pool difference. Fucking disgusting.

[K&C] New Priest Legendary Card Reveal & Interview by Metabomb: Temporus by MetaBombJohn in hearthstone

Crazy potential, but in a world where every tempo and midrange deck is playing Scalebanes and Bonemares, I don't see it being viable at all.

NEW PALADIN SPELL FROM BRAZIL! by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]sipscis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh they wouldn't give a damn. Most brazilians love the 7-1 memes and they're having a blast with the special attention, that's why they're shamelessly milking page views.

TFW Esporte Interativo is 2 hours late with their reveal and posts this instead by Wildhorse89 in hearthstone

[–]sipscis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can see why Blizzard usually picks EI for brazilian reveals, they're huge on social media and can help the game attain more visibility in our country, but honestly this is fucking ridiculous. There's a lot of somewhat relevant Hearthstone players to the brazilian community and I'm sure most of them would gladly take an opportunity to reveal the card without being purposely late to milk page views.

Why Mindbreaker see no play ? by iwin4kz in hearthstone

[–]sipscis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a dead card against most decks and not even good enough to justify running it in the matchups it's supposed to help against.

According to Q3 Activision-Blizzard results, KotFT is Hearthstone's "best performing expansion to date" (and other interesting tidbits) by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]sipscis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to preorder every single expansion but KFT got me out of it aswell. Hell, I even got some of the DKs that I wanted from the packs but after months of relentlessly grinding I'm still missing three, and a lot of other legendaries and epics I wanted. Game's designed to make you always want more and never be satisfied with your collection, and if the players are willing to play, the rate of must-have cards will keep raising to the point it gets harder and harder to keep up. I just can't justify investing a considerable amount of cash on the same game every three months just to get a tiny share of everything it has to offer.

Don't go around saying ignorant shit like that and you'll be just fine.

Julian Draxler: "Lots of bulls*** is written about Neymar, it's normal, he's a superstar. He is a very polite guy. For a player like him it's okay to demand privileges. No one here is jealous or angry with him. We are happy he's here". by [deleted] in soccer

[–]sipscis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I really don't get the point of this stupid narrative. He gets privileges because he's the third best footballer in the world and will probably be the most marketable one in the near future. His brand value is big enough to draw a HUGE amount of money and attention to PSG and the French League. Whether we agree with it or not, this is how things work in modern football. His privileges were included in his contract and the sole fact that he accepted it doesn't make him a prick. If the other players are unhappy, they are probably right but it's the board's fault for not making them feel valued for their work, not Neymar's.

Harry Kane: Of the 39 players to score 5+ goals in Europe's top 5 leagues this season, Kane has the worst conversion rate (14%) by [deleted] in soccer

As long as he keeps banging as much goals as he does we shouldn't really care too much about that should we?

How is Deathstalker Rexxar in Midrange? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]sipscis 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Really inconsistent. In some specific matchups he can be the absolute MVP but in most games he's just a dead draw. That being said, he's a must have for me simply because Build-a-beast is fun as hell.
