Is this how Hearthstone dies? Why can't Blizzard into card game balance like Blizzard or Shadowverse?

>People think MTG is over-complicated sometimes
Ian Watson
Shadowverse only has decent card game balance because they're a newer card game. That's the trap force of will made people think too when it was new, then it embodied card game power creep so much that decks were basically unplayable every other set.
Jaxon Lewis
Faeria is even better if you're looking for an even less casual experience.
Alexander James
repost because new thread
>hearthstone and wow will only die when a game franchise with a better universe and lore comes along.
Better lore AND a good game. Which is quite hard to get because games made about lore/to get some fanbase shekels are usually fucking terrible buggy rushed piece of shit with zero effort put in beside the lore.
I'd rather say that WoW will die when a new revolutionary game type appears.
WoW won't ever be killed by an MMORPG; It'll be killed by the next big thing.

if trump wins, will magic go f2p?
Nicholas Smith
Making basic and classic evergreen is so stupid, not only we have to deal with cards like bullshit hammer and ice block forever, but the game can only powercreep because printing worse cards just mean they won't see any play
Having a rotational format like MTG's standard at least means you can de-powercreep a format so other kinds of archetypes see more play

If you're gonna play a card game you might as well play something that has a physical version, like Magic or Yugioh, so you can win money every week from tournaments.
John Morris
it was designed as a physical game every attempt to turn the game digital results in a clunky. tedious mess
Jonathan Martin
Hearthstone might not die but it will shrink to a joke similar to WoW where 90% of the player base are just casuals that come back to check new expansions.
James Diaz
there's a female hearthstone streamer that has mental health issues, she milks it for donations
Isaac Wood
Why can't magic just make a good video game for once, so I don't have to play this shitty card game.
Nathan Cook
Don't know about better, but the land placing mechanic certainly seems to add an extra layer of complexity.

People are already doing this
Even streamers barely have the energy to play the game

you need money to invest and a community near you for that
Liam Anderson
It's already like this family, the last adventure barely shifted the meta. We're playing the same shit we've always been playing. Arcane giant just made yogg decks more powerful
Luke Evans
>Faeria
Mason Brown
Yeah, I've written it kind of badly. What I meant is that Faeria is less casual because games take a bit longer but it provides more depth at the same time.
Ayden Phillips
If Yugioh ever made a game that they actually updated, they'd probably be actually worth getting into.
Seriously what the fuck is the deal, konami? You're a goddamned video game company in charge of the best selling TCG across the entire world (probably second or third in America) and you can't give us the type of unity-tier spaghetti code Hearthstone has?

But Yu-gi-oh has retarded powercreep and no formats, and even Konami said that if people like balancing and diverse format they should play MTG

>Blizzard devs afraid to print more powerful cards in a rotating format >Afraid to nerf/buff cards because their statistics black magic told them changing cards results in less card pack sales >People play the same decks that have been powerful for the past 6 months plus/minus 2-3 cards >1 mana purify was "too powerful"
lol haha
Jayden Bell
>tfw no (you)s
Chase Jenkins
>1 mana purify was "too powerful"
That's such a bullshit argument, power word shiled is not an auto-include and if people were trying combo decks and using it to cycle it, let them, at least would've spawned a new archetype instead of the one week meme of silence priest
Bentley Thompson
What's this semen demon facebook profile? Im already fapping.
And I would recommend Bluestacks or Leaproid. Both have issues regarding crashes, but people say that Leaproid almost never does.
The main issue is that in any emu you use, if you play against the vampire dude on history mode his playing field makes the game crash. Hundreds of persons have reported that bug, however for some reason Kripp never crashed there on his stream and he was using bluestacks.
David Rogers
Thing is (for Hearthstone) Blizzard is forcing the power creep just to shake up the meta.
Everyone plays bullshit decks, Blizzard add balanced cards? Everyone keeps playing the bullshit decks, so the game is stale.
The only way they stop that is adding cards that enable even more bullshit, so people drop their now-obsolete bullshit.
Dragon decks aren't popular! So let's add 2 mana 3-3 chargers. Now people play dragons. ...2 months later... But murloc decks aren't popular! can't add 2 mana 3-3 chargers because that won't shake the meta. And can't add 2 mana 4-4 chargers, people will call powercreep because straight upgrade. So let's add 1 mana 2-2 charger divine shields murlocs!
and so on until the end of time. Blizzard doesn't want to accept the risk of any expansion to fall flat, so they'll make everything more and more OP as fuck.
I mean, if they release expansion A and 3 months later expansion B... If people don't play B cards, it's a failure. But if people mostly stops playing A to play B... what it means is that if the expansions had been released B first and then A, no one would've switched when A was added.
They can't accept that, and the only way to ensure that is what they're doing now; Every new set is stronger than the one before. Maybe not the entire set, but the strong cards of a set will always be stronger than the strong cards of the previous one.
Too hard to make them exactly as good, and if they accidentally make them less good, no one will buy packs to get them, and some will quit the game over a stale meta.

Ethan Carter
Hmm it's a shame Blizzard can't take risks in designing interesting cards that will see play in viable decks because it's literally impossible to change how a card behaves once it's released in a digital game.
Matthew Richardson
remember when people thought tgt would slow the game into a control meta
Gavin Cox
this game doesnt and never has had control, only wallet warrior
Noah Edwards
Yugioh has good power creep like what hearthstone desperately needs because it encourages you to use old cards because they work just as often as the webm you just posted of synchro wombo combo. >What do you mean Blue-Eyes is the best deck in the game right now? >And Dark Magician is a viable rogue topping events? >You can steal games with the toons/red-eyes stuff I had from when I was a kid and play Rank 4 spam with my harpie ladies? The banlist is a good thing, power plays like synchro combos are actually really bad because they work as often as something like youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=q2CzqqINh5s#t=1986 except you try to expect it as your win condition every single game.
Oliver Wright
Dust Deathwing?
Liam Jackson
I can't believe that the game still doesn't have a chat after so long.
I mean sure people would just trash talk each other, but that's what people do in every other game, why is it different? If they add an option to disable it it's win-win. (or win-neutral).
Adding people after (not even during!) the game to talk to them, wtf is this a 1980's game?
Samuel Davis
Blizzard design philosophy is really similar to Konami regarding the powercreep to make sets sell and that is just a time bomb, just look at Yugioh, the game is complete garbage with games ending on 1-3 turns and decks which ideal scenario is make set ups where your opponent can't even play 1 card because otherwise you just can't win against other absurd decks.
Which is retarded because Wizards is sucessful with the policy of fresh decks every 3 months without powercreeping the old ones. And people still buy shit in mass because new sells anyway. For example I got G/W tokens from last season, the deck with the new expansion got a lot of new toys, but is still even on the playing field with new decks being released and other old decks still play even against it.
Eli Hughes
Not having a chat is so bullshit. The game already has a chat in it, just make it so opponents can't speak to each other. And if they say bullshit, just silence them and report them
Luis Carter
Do you absolutely need a different legendary now? One that's better than Deathwing?
If not someday Deathwing could potentially be balanced a bit and then you get a free 3200 dust from it. Or a deck using deathwing is the new meta you want to build and you have to recraft it when you had a gold one.
Brody Turner
>and report them
that's exactly why there isn't a real chat. do you have any idea how coddled and soft the vast majority of gamers are? I can't imagine the sheer number of reports that would flood in day after day.
Adrian Perez
That's only right if you look at the absolute best decks and you're comparing them to decks from back during 2012 or so that haven't had support in forever. As said, Toons, the shit Pegasus used in the first season, got some recent support and now it's a rogue deck that can occasionally steal games and probably top a locals every now and then if you're dedicated to playing it.
Brody Brooks

Cooper Wilson
>power word shield is not an auto-include
What? Pretty much every single Priest deck has always been included except for decks who purposely cut it for experimental reasons.
Power Word: Shield is to Priest as Frostbolt is to Mage, or Fiery War Axe is to Warrior.
David Jones
>Gul'dan hasn't been cancer in awhile
Chase Hill
It's certainly unexpected to find anti-control cuckduin's.
Jackson Rogers
it's just too bad fwa/frostbolt are better cards
Christian Williams
I have pretty much exactly 1600 dust and all I need to make Malygos Druid is Maly himself. What do you think, /hgg/? Is this another meme deck or is it worth it? I have basically every other playable lego besides Cairne, Ysera, and Cenarius.
Evan Hill
Even outside Maly Druid, Maly Rogue is fun too. So if druid ends up disappointing, it's not a waste.
Ayden Williams
Fair point. I also play a lot of Mage (less now that they've made the class 100% RNG based -- sorry, I mean the whole game 100% RNG based).
I've always wanted to launch 8 shot magic missles at people. Can't really go wrong.
Jordan Walker
live the dream by playing barnes into maly turn 8 with some kind of protection, topdeck maly turn 9 and summon it, double faceless manipulator turn 10, and then coin into 23 damage magic missile
eat your heart out, c'thun
Ethan Ortiz
>armor gain is the same as healing >counterable secrets are the same as uncounterable continous effects >two low cost cards combined into another low cost card shouldn't cost a little bit more espically when both of those cards are class cards already
Carter Martinez
truly this is what memes are made of
Nathan James
You could probably realistically pull off the maly into double manipulator part without trying too hard.
Nicholas Flores
>Malygos >the Aspect of MAGIC >there never has been a single mage deck that uses him
Great flavor fail
Nolan Nguyen
I figure that's mostly because he's competing for a big drop spot with tony, and tony's 2 mana less while capitalizing on all your spells, rather than just your damage dealing ones
Juan Reyes
>Mages embody magic They're just fags for spells. Pretty much everything in warcraft is magic. Even the science is fucking magic.
Ian Jones
yeah it's strange as hell how shaman has both spell power and full malygos decks but mage doesn't
mage has felt like a dedicated cancer class for a long time though, i doubt blizz can even conceive of giving them a normal, ok, fun deck
Ian Ramirez
why have fun when you can have random summons based on mana cost from medivh and summoner stone???
Zachary Ortiz
Mage is the dickest class in the game. I remember running around in battle grounds doing nothing but spamming blink and frost nova.
Jack Hill
summoning stone on a stick is a neutral legendary minion so what are you talking about?
Aiden Jackson
I can't wait for the Starcraft expansion.... You know they are going to do it.

>so what are you talking about? I'm just citing poor blizzard deck design. It's kind of obvious Summoning Stone/stick+portals was meant to be a deck pushed by Karazhan.
Easton Jones
>mage has felt like a dedicated cancer class for a long time though
Actually has ever been a format where Mage, Warlock and Hunter skipped being cancer and in general the "ewwww this shit again" decks?
