So I decided to start playing this some more again because of the STandard introduction. And ended up doing 9 arenas.

BUT GOD DAMN IF I CAN'T WIN MORE THAN FIVE GAMES AND IT IS PISSING ME OFF. I even had a run with 2 legendaries as priest and sitll only got 5 wins. I'm obviously making bad picks.

5 wins is fine. mathematically speaking, 3 wins will always be the mean, so 5 is above average.

:duel:


Eh before I was racking up 6-7 each arena. Grumble grumble stupid new cards.

Arena has generally become more difficult; the arena 'meta' has become more experienced players with newer players staying out.

I think the rewards have improved at lower levels though, to help draw people back in.

Shadowmoon Valley has just replaced Maraad as my favorite cardback. It just hits all the right buttons.

It's easily the best cardback since Pirates or Pandaria.

Hearthstone emotes are the worst.

Tangentially related, I really like midrange-aggressive dragon decks. I wish there were just a tiny few more playable dragons for that archetype.

But I like how Gul'dan says "Extraordinary", it sounds like mockery (which, incidentally, is what the majority of players intend to do with the "Wow" emote) and so it fits the evilness of the character. :D

EDIT: I forgot to add: and when he says "I am your nightmare" for the mirror, it seems he's rapping. That doesn't quite fit, but I find it funny. :D

for once Mown and I agree

seriously I get that they're a replacement for a chat API, which would be even worse, but why have anything?

A little taunting is good for games, it makes people that get mad too easily quit. If you cant stay calm and have a sense of humor you shouldn't be allowed to pay video games.

Also theres probably an argument to be made about human interaction. Also most people i face are pretty polite about emotes. And theres the squealch button.

I'd argue but I'm pretty confident even you know this is an awful view.

Big question: why does Liadrin say "my hammer burns with holy fire" but she's wielding a sword in her portrait?

The hammer you wield is merely an extension of the hammer within yourself
