The state of the game, thoughts?

General Discussion

So, I’ve been coming back into the game for about 2 weeks now. I looked at some new cards, made a blood DK deck, disenchanted and crafted some cards I felt to be fun inthere. It’s no fancy shenanigans, your standard control blood deck (just about, idk I didn’t look at any lists) and I thought it was pretty broken, how it has an answer for almost everything any deck can throw out. Then I headed into standard. And god damn.

I would like to know who decided that Sargeras deserves to exist in its current state. “Oh but don’t be such a bad loser, it’s 9 mana, that’s so slow” shut up, 9 mana infinite value is in no way justifiable. Especially considering you can never get rid of it. No deck in this universe has the removal capabilities to delete 2 taunts every turn, as well as 2 8/8s all while dealing with all the other stuff warlock can throw at you these days, including the 4 mana deal 10 damage lifesteal bounce back do it again bs. What is this. I’m a CONTROL deck and I can’t even look at warlock without dying.

Druid has some mad bs going on too, hey blizz, have you ever considered that there might be a REASON some cards can only be in a deck ONCE? No, 3 copies of the legendary that gives you an egg that lets you choose a dragon with -4 mana cost EVERY TURN. Yeah sure buddy. How can you justify a random furry popping out 6/6 or higher minions, about 3 of which, every singe turn?

Paladins aren’t much better either, deviating from the usual racism deck (that’s a joke implying they have a deck that strategically may only contain paladin cards for specific effects, for legal reasons), no, now they can infinitely copy the minion that spawns them a guy that has +2/+2 every time you spawn another one. Hey, didn’t we think jade druid was a bit braindead unfun bigger men bs? Then why do we have basically cracked jade druid on a paladin that can buff their stuff with dshield and resurrects?

Not to mention that there’s barely if any shamans or rogues out there atm. I remember seeing OTK DH in several videos on release, we now have a meta that makes OTK DH seem uninteresting ON LADDER.
I’m sure I’ve blacked on several other random bs win decks and have not encountered all of them as I am not very high on the ladder. I doubt I will climb as well, since I can’t bring myself to care about this unbalanced meta.

That’s my rant for the week, but yeah I would love to hear your thoughts about this. Except if they are “just build the same deck lol”, that’s not what the game should be like.

druid and priest are broken the rest are fine

Lock has just gotten stupid, with that 4 mana cost card. Might aswell rope that when you verse it… Paladin is alright, Druid is broken… they need to hotfix this game now… not months down the line… not worth playing standard at all.

Try running the new neutral Hero Card that got released, that clears locations like Sargeras’ portal too.

5

Sargeras isn’t the problem, that isn’t even OP. It’s the stupid thing which steals 10health from you and only 4… yeah 4!!! mana.

6

blad dey nerfed it to six mana cuz

7

Well, now it’s not 4 mana anymore, now it costs 6. Anyway, I was replying to OP, not you.

8

new reno hero card clears only enemy side, and blocks it off except for 1 slot… for 8 mana? and the mage reno here just poofs everything indiscriminately with less functionality and for 10 mana?
we need serious balancing on that card as well

Bar warlock pretty great

For one turn only. After that you play normally

I read on another post recently, and I have to agree, that the problem with the game right now is that it lacks interactivity. There are too many ways to lose a match that you cannot do anything about. It’s crazy to me that in the past they practically eliminated charge, nerfed Leroy to prevent the rogue bounceback OTK, and have made so many cards deal damage to minions only; but now they’re creating situations where a player cannot do anything to counter a threat. Warlock is a disgusting offender, but it’s not the only one. Maybe it’s too late to fix now that there are so many cards with so many abilities and everything has to keep getting more epic; however, I’d rather have a fun match against an opponent than just watch the person across the board play with themselves.

Horrid, just came back and have subsequently left already. The lack of interactivity is an absolute snorefest but it’s baked into the game from a systems and flow level and I don’t think that’s ever going to change.
