So I BM'd him because he had BM'd me with all that insane top deck control and then he draws a Deathwing. Good stuff! Literally the single only card in the game that could have saved him.
No, you did not clearly say that. This sentence doesn't say anything about emotes. Cry more.

Boom in 10 of the 12 top-four finishers' decks at ESL Finals. Not sure if that makes it OP or just really good. Seems like the only card to have such a presence across a multitude of deck and hero types.

Anything else stand out to you guys?

I still think Boom is good but not OP. He simply doesn't have any competition as a 7 drop. So, of course, people are going to run him. Especially if they expect the game to go to turn 7 (which is why a face hunter shouldn't run him).

I think the meta has started to phase him out though. A lot of control decks have stopped running him and all other 7+ attack minions because of how common BGH is. Additionally people are becoming more and more mindful of dropping more than 3 minions because MC Tech is starting to see a lot of Constructed play. So between BGH and MC Tech, Boom is good but not OP so.

A couple thoughts that I had about changing Boom... these may be too harsh, but just wanted to see what you thought.

1. Make the bombs be able to damage friend or foe.
2. Make it so that he starts with 0 or 1 bomb, then creates another for each turn he is left on the board.

Most of BM's are taken care of with squelch. If they draw out a game out like that, not sure why you don't concede to begin with.


If anything I'll take all the BM's in the world to never play priest again. Almost every priest player literally takes their whole turn to move on every turn. Doesn't matter if they are obviously losing ,or not.
When I play priest I play normal, not sure what crack all these other priests are smoking. I imagine that these are the people that laugh at car crashes...

When I play priest for dallies, since I don't play it much at all, I actually do end up taking pretty long turns and not trying to be a dick either

I don't rope turns or anything, actually I play too fast imo.
Playing fast doesn't mean you are better at the game.
Forsen embarassingly missed lethal in Pinnacle 3 earlier today by playing too fast:




I can see priest turns taking longer than average simply because they have a lot more interactions to think about.

Not every fucking turn tho... I've played priest forever, and I don't rope every turn.

Maybe if you are new to the game I could possibly understand, but I run into players in the rank 8 all the way up the legend ladder that just infuriate me with that shit.
Worse then any BM ever imo

BM = what exactly for the abbreviation though? Bitch Move?

I'm too old so until people made the context obvious it looked like "Bowel Movement" - which uhm... made for some interesting reading...

People say "BM" for everything now.

It's particularly funny in League of Legends when you land poke pre-minions and people say "BM".
Firstly, how is poking "BM" and secondly, if the guy is already tilting cause he's been poked then awesome for me!
The only BM I can see in LoL is using emotes or through chat.

This was some great BM that just occurred last week in LCS:



(Leblanc emoted as the guy died to krugs)

Pinnacle 3...nice. I really do enjoy watching these tournaments, especially if they have decent casters/presentation like the ESL and Pinnacle series have been. I would have never thought I would ever like watching other people play videogames on the internet.

It is kinda too good, but I honestly don't think it's a huge problem. It helps midrange and control decks, not so much aggro as only mech mage runs it. This helps steer the ladder meta away from being 100% pure aggro domination. If it takes an overpowered card to accomplish that, I'm not too bothered. Also it's a neutral card so it doesn't favor any classes, and its counter (BGH) is similarly available to everyone and also played in nearly every deck. Boom is an overpowered card, but for these reasons, I don't think it hurts the game.

No paladins. Funny because people have been rating paladin highly in recent tier lists.

I was actually loling rather than crying, and I thought BM in Hearthstone was pretty well understood, (e.g. I said "he BM'd me after every time he drew a perfect control card", seems pretty obvious, but I guess not.

Anyways, so are there really that many Hunters back on the ladder again?

Everyone can already see what you wrote. Nobody cares, people just like getting you riled up because it's so easy. It's also easy to imagine you thinking that top-decking might be considered BM in your mind which is why numerous people mistook your words. You simply missed a few words to say exactly what you meant.
