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.

was reading through the old thread when i saw this post
>It exerts the same pressure dr. boom does.
and had a LAUGH

>hsg has shat on every card reveal so far

In hsg's defense blizz made it pretty easy.

Here is a list from February
us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/20601712/top-100-arena-players-february-2017-3-10-2017

Only 32 players averaged higher than 7.

>trash on 100 cards
>1 is good the rest are trash
>LOL SHIELDBEARERS
fuck off Kibler go suck Brode's dick a bit more

Took you 3 hours to play 7 games?
You only got 55 gold and 1 pack for 5 wins?

>Play free arena run and get mage
>usually get 5 wins on average, nothing special
>draft borderline constructed secret mage, feels bretty good
>face entirely hunters who go first, while drawing all my high cost cards for the first 3 turns each game
> go 0/3 spectacularly
>my rewards from this arena
There is no justice in this game, makes no sense.
Thanks for reading my blog

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

>average is 3
>5 is pretty bad

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.

going to play tw now?

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.

eu.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/20904302/top-hearthstone-players-june-2017-07-07-2017

here you go OP

>12 wins hunter run into a 12 wins priest
Im never playing arena again

>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.

wat do?

So you are saying all I need to do to make it worth it is be one of the 150 best players?

>tfw 6-3

hunter, draft agressive curve

This game desperately needs permanents but I guess it would be too complicated for new players.

Maybe there are only 151 people who play arena.

That sounds like a reasonable assumption

Is it advisable? Usually play midrange hunter and pally but it looks fun although auto pilot deck.

Shaman or Hunter and hope for aggressive cards. Never go Warlock

kripp isn't on there WTF

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.

How much would a
>"For the rest of your game, your played minions get +1/+1"
cost?

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

minions already exist user :^)

Wrong region.

>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.

Is this the first time Blizz has actually offered an incentive to play arena since December 2014?

>they didnt separate 25-21 from 20-16 to manipulate how the data is shown

check mistcaller

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?

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

It costs all your 2 mana cards.

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?

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.

Jaina is Brode's waifu. Can't have her be anything but tier 1 in all formats

>arena
>skill based

maybe in vanilla

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.

Spells are fun... SOOOO FUN

bets are now open

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.

>arena
>skill

The moment you are not offered mage, your chance to go high wins drop significantly. I wouldn't call that skill.

This xpac is looking amazing so far imo. What do you guys think?

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?

looking better than msg but worse than wotog/ungoro

t. ben brode

The only entertainment I get from hearthstone is making fake cards, and the only new things this expansion added are shit.

...

What would be the best deck to climb right now?

Evolve Shaman, Pirate Warrior or Jade Druid?

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?

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!

Meh. WTOG was better.

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.

Busted basic and classic cards means it never loses its best cards

Mage has always been like that in WoW, naturally it just carried over to Hearthstone.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

When people talk about reddit, do you mean /r/hearthstone or /r/competitivehs? Because they're worlds apart.

pw is extremely fun especially against pirates and aggro druid

fake as fuck
I refuse to believe this

They're talking about you.

its real

>reddit and reddit
>worlds apart

lma0

It's real

/r/hsg

That was my reaction as well desu.

you people don't have the right to call my OC shit ever again.

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

I was responding to a guy who said another guy is bad because he went 5 wins once.

Calm your tits.

Surely they're nerfing Shield Slam when the expansion releases.

/r/hearthstone is shitters and Blizzard shills.
/r/competitivehs is people talking a children's card game way too seriously.
Both are laughable.

Does this count?

what the fuck? at the start of your turn? what's the point of that? is it permanent? that would be overpowered

I post in neither, mostly make shit predictions here.

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.

Which is why /r/TheHearth is the best hearthstone related subreddit.

Msg was looking better until it was released and jade/pirate turned it into a nightmare.

that perfect snake trap -> scavenging hyena opening curve

lol

>what's the point of that? is it permanent?
yes

>that would be overpowered
no

yeah, can't have too many late game cards worth using. let's print another neutral one mana 3/2

"Blizzard was a mistake"

Benito Brrap

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).

Thank god for hex.

nice OC, does it come in hetero?

>minion has stats of a vanilla 7 mana minion
>if you don't kill it in one turn then you lose the game

>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.

>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

People already started to droll over new mage lego. This game has no chance to get better with this drone of a community.

ALL TOGETHER NOW!

>they preordered

This dude played the swarmer on 2, the wasp on 3 and the assassin on 4.
