My recent arena drafts have been just awful. 0 legendaries and epics, middle of the pack rares. It also feels that the RNG in some of this games are really out of control to the point of deciding games. I can't complain too much about that because I've benefited from it as much as been a victim to it. It just feels like sometimes you can have (what you think) is a pretty decent deck and you go up against a below average deck and still get beat due to RNG (whether it's the cards themselves or card draw).

Here's Trump getting 8 wins on a terrible, terrible draft. Sure, he gets a Gorehowl and a lot of good draws during the games, but there are a lot of great decisions he makes to eek out wins. Ex: When to go to the face since he knows he doesn't have much else left to draw.

2 fiery waraxes, arcanite reaper, arathi weaponsmith, gorehowl. Sure, has alot of mediocre cards, but it isn't shocking at all that he went 8-3 with it. I have had a warrior draft where I got only one weapon.

Oh yeah? I've had a warrior draft where I didn't get a single one! It wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't as bad as the hunter draft I had last night.

Also, wtf is up with maintenance twice a week?

Yeah, that is my point. Calling a draft where you got 5 GOOD weapons the worst draft ever seems pretty silly.

Mures · Feb 20, 2014

I had a worst draft ever last night, retired one for the first time. A paladin with 0 weapons, 0 consecrates, 0 bok, only 1 argent protector, some of my picks the best choices were the spell that gives divine shield, a magma rager, and a pint-sized summoner. Won the first game and then lost two long, drawn out games that I just ended up losing in the end because my card quality was crap so said screw it, and retired, didn't feel like losing another long game just because my cards sucked so bad.

The Ancient_sl · Feb 20, 2014

I find it hard to believe that magma rager was ever a best pick.

Mures · Feb 20, 2014

It probably was a bad pick, but its worked for me in arena in the past, if you can give it divine shield its not bad at all, it was about the 20th pick and I already had the divine shield spell and an argent protector, was hoping I'd get another argent protector, but it was up against a silverback and something else equally terrible.

Gavinmad · Feb 20, 2014

I'd probably take a silverback over magma.

Vaclav · Feb 20, 2014

I'd take Wisp over it personally.

Mures · Feb 20, 2014

Yeah, had I not already had 2 methods of divine shield I'd definitely go with the gorilla, I probably still should have, but there is no denying both are terrible cards.

Brand · Feb 20, 2014

Unreal top deck losses all day. It makes me want to scream. I lost the last 5 Ranked games with my opponent having 15+ cards left in his deck, no cards in hand, and drawing a solution (typically removal, or direct damage) to win...3 of them were fireball draws and 2 were mortal strike. Just crazy bad run.

The Ancient_sl · Feb 20, 2014

Hunters are complete bullshit. Why make 2 changes to Unleash the Hounds and still get it wrong.

Jesus, I'm so tired of card rewards. 5 arena's today, rewards below

Mage 7-3 160g, pack, Ancestral Spirit
Shaman 7-3 150g, pack, Temple Enforcer
Shaman 7-3 160, 20 dust, pack
Shaman 8-3 185g, pack, Golden Snipe
Mage 10-3 185g, pack, Siphon Soul, Golden Mana Wyrm

Really Blizzard, are card rewards really this necessary. Not even so much as an epic in the 5 packs either. The golds are at least passable, but a regular common at 7+ sucks ass. As shitty as 20 dust is it beats a common

Here's irony for you. After posting this my first arena today was 12-1 with a Mage, 405 gold 2 packs. Packs awful, but a solid reward for a change!

Gavinmad · Feb 20, 2014

Shit I'd like to see in future Hearthstone xpacs

Neutral weapons. Hard to balance around the classes that already get weapons, maybe a neutral version of Tirion that either equips or deathrattles a signature weapon, like Nefarian equipping you with Ashkandi. Also, a spell damage weapon like Azuresong Mageblade. Maybe something like 1/2 with 1 spell damage.

Multiple class cards. Like say Azuresong Mageblade is mage/priest/pally only or something. Multiple class cards would also make it possible to do neutral spells without unbalancing classes that already get access to similar spells.

Legendaries I'd like to see: Twin Emps, Vaelastrasz, Viscidus, Lady Vashj, Al'ar, blah blah blah.

Idea for viscidus - He's an X/X creature, reduce all damage that would be dealt to Viscidus to 1. Any time Viscidus takes damage, spawn a 1/1 slime token.

I'd also like to see stuff like Kael'thas, Garona, Khadgar, etc, but they're likely to end up as alternate class heroes instead of legends.

The Master · Feb 21, 2014

Alternate class heroes would be pretty interesting. Give access to two different hero powers, depending on which one you pick.

Column_sl · Feb 21, 2014

Hmm wonder if anything is going on tonight with there game.

I've seen 3 of my opponents DC, and I've Dced once.

That's the first time I've Dced in months.

Sinzar · Feb 21, 2014

Latest hearthstone video from Day9 is hilarious. You may think the deck he made is retarded, but it gets results! lol

Well my assumption is that alternate class heroes will be an entirely cosmetic option you get from the cash store, like champion skins in LoL. Alternate hero powers would be pretty hard to balance.

I want multiclassing. Let me pick 4 or 6 cards or something from another class. THINK OF THE INSANITY.
