Kind of reposting for new thread
Should I bother playing the arena? I just spent 3 hours and got 55 gold for a 5 win run, which means a net gain of 5 gold for 3 hours of play. Wouldn't it be better to just play normal matches since you'd get more gold in that time?

>The best players in the world average around 7-7.5 Kripp had an average of 8.3 wins last month.
5 is pretty bad especially when you're getting one free win now.
Liam Williams
was reading through the old thread when i saw this post >It exerts the same pressure dr. boom does. and had a LAUGH
>trash on 100 cards >1 is good the rest are trash >LOL SHIELDBEARERS fuck off Kibler go suck Brode's dick a bit more
Michael Peterson
Took you 3 hours to play 7 games? You only got 55 gold and 1 pack for 5 wins?

Thanks for reading my blog
Xavier Harris
yes stay away from arena people in here will tell you otherwise because a) they think you are good (you are notenough) b) they don't take into account the time needed
Cameron Sullivan
>average is 3 >5 is pretty bad
Jordan Morris
I also got a common card. Yes it took 3 hours. I don't know about you but I find my arena games are really long because the other guy always takes a long time to think and no one surrenders.
Nathan Nguyen
going to play tw now?
Daniel Bell
Last month it was 150, and only people who do +30 arena are counted. Not many people play that much, but still average those numbers.
>12 wins hunter run into a 12 wins priest Im never playing arena again
Jacob Johnson
>no longer play hs, just return for the expansion >see free arena ticket >draft and play while literally watching porn at the same time >8 wins
Don't feel bad. Arena is trash.
Gavin Campbell
wat do?
Bentley Perez
So you are saying all I need to do to make it worth it is be one of the 150 best players?
Aiden Gonzalez
>tfw 6-3
Samuel Hill
hunter, draft agressive curve
Julian Baker
This game desperately needs permanents but I guess it would be too complicated for new players.
Lincoln Jenkins
Maybe there are only 151 people who play arena.
Jordan Butler
That sounds like a reasonable assumption
Logan Taylor
Is it advisable? Usually play midrange hunter and pally but it looks fun although auto pilot deck.
Lucas King
Shaman or Hunter and hope for aggressive cards. Never go Warlock
Jackson Russell
kripp isn't on there WTF
Xavier Peterson
Yes. The average player is a complete shitter. I mean, just look at how many people remain at the shitter ranks.
Way to only read only half of my post, but also strawman. Fucking retard.
Dylan Torres
How much would a >"For the rest of your game, your played minions get +1/+1" cost?
Dominic Butler
I swear to god if this frozen faglord doesnt give me at least 1 more free arena run to get rid of this fucking 5 gold bs blizzard created just to trigger ocd people
Carter Bennett
minions already exist user :^)
Jackson Foster
Wrong region.
Kevin Evans
>Way to only read only half of my post, but also strawman. Fucking retard.
What strawman? You are telling me 150 people last month had an average arena score high enough to justify playing arena. So I either need to be as good as those people or there's no point.
Tyler Martinez
Is this the first time Blizz has actually offered an incentive to play arena since December 2014?
Aiden Wright
>they didnt separate 25-21 from 20-16 to manipulate how the data is shown
Elijah Cox
check mistcaller
Leo Morris
How is arena such a joke? It's arguably the only skill based aspect of HS right now but as soon you get past 4 wins you start playing against ridiculous RNGfest mages with all their discovery mechanics and card generation. If any other class had these kind of things they'd be nerfed into the ground but mage gets away with it, why?
Jose Edwards
He also said they just count people who play more than 30 arenas so there may be more players that average higher but are not taken into account
Joshua Walker
It costs all your 2 mana cards.
Oliver Turner
tell me, would you play bring it on if it didn't have a downside? is a card that only gives ten armor, no draw, no removal, no board presence, worth having in a warrior deck?
Anthony Kelly
Just look at the reaction to the new Mage RNG legendary. Reddit is all over it, imagining fun stories and random outcomes. It's what they like so blizz gives it to them.
James Fisher
Jaina is Brode's waifu. Can't have her be anything but tier 1 in all formats
Charles Perry
>arena >skill based
maybe in vanilla
Asher Adams
I have just got 9 wins after not playing arena for literally 1 year. I guess either I'm a genius or arena doesn't reflect skill.
Cooper Gutierrez
Spells are fun... SOOOO FUN
Joshua Butler
bets are now open
Jeremiah Davis
The strawman is implying that you need 7+ wins average for arena to be worth it. That is wrong.
If you average 7+ wins, you're going infinite, as in, you're getting a pack while earning your entry fee back with your runs. Averaging 3 wins means you get about 50 gold and a pack, so essentially the same as simply buying a pack, while anything between 3 and 7 gives you a better deal than simply buying packs.
Reading only half my post was about a lot of people not appearing in the leaderboards despite averaging higher than 7 wins, because they don't play arena enough. I probably play more arena than 90% of the people in these threads, and I don't do 30 runs a month.
Justin Gray
>arena >skill
The moment you are not offered mage, your chance to go high wins drop significantly. I wouldn't call that skill.
Gavin Cruz
This xpac is looking amazing so far imo. What do you guys think?
Ayden Edwards
Or maybe because it's a fucking card game with random elements, and a single run isn't a big enough sample size for anything. Were you dropped on your head as a child or what was it that made you lose half of your brain cells?
Carson Cox
looking better than msg but worse than wotog/ungoro
Anthony Ortiz
t. ben brode
Jaxon Carter
The only entertainment I get from hearthstone is making fake cards, and the only new things this expansion added are shit.
Joshua Nguyen
...
Samuel Garcia
What would be the best deck to climb right now?
Evolve Shaman, Pirate Warrior or Jade Druid?
Blake Harris
Has mage ever not been a top tier deck? We see warlock constantly being either the best or the worst depending on select cards. What's the catch?
Wyatt Price
Me too friend. Of course, I pre-ordered to support the devs for their hard work and I get a cool card back to boot!
Jackson Harris
Meh. WTOG was better.
David Lee
No. Mainly because you are still ultrarekt by jade druid. Also it doesn't help against value match ups like priest and control paladin. I'd rather put a defensive value card.
Jacob Ross
Busted basic and classic cards means it never loses its best cards
Josiah Bennett
Mage has always been like that in WoW, naturally it just carried over to Hearthstone.
Benjamin Carter
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Blake Sanchez
When people talk about reddit, do you mean /r/hearthstone or /r/competitivehs? Because they're worlds apart.
Chase Garcia
pw is extremely fun especially against pirates and aggro druid
Benjamin Myers
fake as fuck I refuse to believe this
Matthew Collins
They're talking about you.
Mason Diaz
its real
Eli Reyes
>reddit and reddit >worlds apart
lma0
Tyler Reed
It's real
Austin Nelson
/r/hsg
Christian Peterson
That was my reaction as well desu.
Cameron King
you people don't have the right to call my OC shit ever again.
Joseph Fisher
hasn't it been that it was warrior, warlock, and druid that have been top dogs since beta? literally at least one tier one deck every expansion. i think mage was bad during naxx and whispers
Jackson Campbell
I was responding to a guy who said another guy is bad because he went 5 wins once.
Calm your tits.
Aaron Flores
Surely they're nerfing Shield Slam when the expansion releases.
Eli Morris
/r/hearthstone is shitters and Blizzard shills. /r/competitivehs is people talking a children's card game way too seriously. Both are laughable.
Elijah Reyes
Does this count?
Jace Foster
what the fuck? at the start of your turn? what's the point of that? is it permanent? that would be overpowered
Julian Kelly
I post in neither, mostly make shit predictions here.
Easton Baker
More Freeze and Casino Mage shit. More Discardlock.
Fucking Blizzard. How hard is it to introduce something new. I'm sick of facing unfun Mage decks. I'm sick of trying to make Discardlock work.
Just stop.
Bentley Garcia
Which is why /r/TheHearth is the best hearthstone related subreddit.
Easton Moore
Msg was looking better until it was released and jade/pirate turned it into a nightmare.
Aiden Allen
that perfect snake trap -> scavenging hyena opening curve
Kevin Bailey
lol
Michael Garcia
>what's the point of that? is it permanent? yes
>that would be overpowered no
Caleb Smith
yeah, can't have too many late game cards worth using. let's print another neutral one mana 3/2
Colton Howard
"Blizzard was a mistake"
Benito Brrap
Mason Taylor
Except I didn't say he was bad for going 5 wins at once. Try reading the whole conversation
Someone said >5 is a solid run for the vast majority of players. to which I said that 5 is pretty bad (especially since it's actually a 4-3 with the free win).
Jeremiah Allen
Thank god for hex.
Gavin Campbell
nice OC, does it come in hetero?
Isaiah Allen
>minion has stats of a vanilla 7 mana minion >if you don't kill it in one turn then you lose the game
Owen Peterson
>let's give Mage another way to generate high value cards that don't start in their deck
When will it end? Why do they keep pushing this RNG bullshit?
I wish I hadn't pre-ordered KFT.
Easton Gonzalez
>water rogue that high I don't believe those stats, I remember playing against freeze/Reno mages constantly during that time And I may be reading that wrong hot amount played doesnt translate to to top tier, correct? lock definitely has had ups and downs along with druids, naxx is probs the weakness mage has ever been id say
Blake Sanchez
People already started to droll over new mage lego. This game has no chance to get better with this drone of a community.
Jayden Adams
ALL TOGETHER NOW!
>they preordered
Carter Campbell
This dude played the swarmer on 2, the wasp on 3 and the assassin on 4.
