It probably wins more games by volume.

Eh, maybe. It's not like MR games go on forever. A face hunter can play 100 games for every X games a MR hunter plays. What's the number? I'd guesstimate about 85ish? I'm not sure. Also, not sure what the difference in winrate needs to be for those to be equal in stars gained, too much math.

Who cares about math? Did my 5 win daily in 7 games. Sub 30 minutes. My 2 losses are from me conceding on turn 4 or 5 when it looked impossible to win.
5 wins were over by turn 4, they just didn't quit until lethal.

Hey Wombat,

Do you remember how many games it took you to get to legend with your Face Hunter Deck from Rank 4?

This month I've played the least amount of ranked games in awhile, but I still feel like I can make one last push to legend...because of time constraints, I figured I'd take a shot with your deck (like mentioned above, I'll be starting the climb with your deck at the bottom of rank 4).

Any meta changes needed for this deck (the one you posted on page 4, i think)? Think it is viable right now? and again, how many games should i commit to try and reach legend in the last few days.

Thanks wombat

Just came in here to say that you're all ****ing ****s

^

Awe, that was sweet.

I remember that season well. I ended March with 370 wins, and I hit legend at the same time I got the golden hero. That means 130 wins from rank 18 to legend. I remember rank 18 to 5 went realllllly fast. Then I got hung up from 5 to 3 for a long time. I hit a positive run of variance from 2 to legend and won like 10 of 12 games. So 5 to legend was probably 75 games, which would be 50W 25L. The dominant meta was zoolock and midrange pally, both of which face hunter destroy.

That said, I can't recommend playing face hunter right now for a legend push. The top two decks are control warrior and grim warrior. Face is awful vs both of these.

If you are looking for a fast, efficient deck to push with you should play zoolock. Maybe bump that thread as well, as it's on life support.

The best zen legend advice I can give you is to not worry about pumping volume, just worry about the best play you can make every turn. Legend will fall into place if you are good enough to hit rank 3+.

If the Robik plays taunt, then me still go face.

I legit never play warriors and been at rank 4-6 for a week

I can kill patrons depending on stuff. But control warriors are sucha pain.

Preist has Blackwing Tech and Cromaggus on board. I have an Ironfur Grizzly from webspinner. His turn. He drops 2 Northshire Clerics and casts a ton of heals; draws like 4 cards which are all duplicated via Cro. He kills my grizzly with the Blackwing Tech. I have a secret up, obviously explosive because he tested for the others. He could've hit my face the last 2 turns btw; except he didn't want to trigger my trap. He sends Crromaggus at my face, and Cromaggus hits him in the face instead. I win an unwinnable game. Thanks misdirection!

I suck at midrange Hunter and I don't know why. I just feel like every card out there is designed to kick your ass. Zombie Chow, lose. Mana Wyrm, lose. Shielded Mini, lose... running the standard list up on Tempostorm, what am I doing?

try not being a scumbag

Midrange hunter is pretty much all about establishing the tempo advantage. It's cliche but true. If you get ahead on the board first it probably is the best deck playing ahead (close with fast druid) if you get behind, you're probably ****ed. deck lacks almost any comeback mechanisms (outside some unleash the hound stuff or just pile driving face)

basically its why early scientists are the perfect card, hit their 2 drop with a freeze trap and allows you to play companion on an open board = win win win.

chows are just excellent anti hunter cards, if your opponent does play it on t1 just gotta sigh and realize your win expectation in the game took a massive hit.

Gotta clear those dailies bro. I actually hate Hunter, just finding it surprisingly more difficult than I thought from the other side.

I've had similar problems since I started playing stuff like Control Warrior and then going back to Hunter. I think even MR Hunter you have to go face more than trade, hard to win if you aren't the aggressor. I've caught myself playing too defensive or trade oriented, and in general its just not good as Hunter imo.

it technically is the overall strongest deck it just suffers vastly in a few matchups, notably against super cancer (esp the midrange w/o belchers)

I can believe that. It curves out really well and doesn't have any auto loss type match-ups, the one I hate most as hunter is really aggro paladin.

yeah that falls into the category of super cancer

as hs keeps migrating towards all the cancer you can handle decks, the best solution is just anti aggro up the ass which is frustrating to play bc those get smashed by anything slightly greedy

What kind of midrange hunter lists are good for you guys right now? I feel freezing trap has less of an impact in this meta, and wonder if snakes/explosive is better with all the aggro going on.

I played midrange hunter earlier today. Went from ranks 13 to 9 winning maybe 80% and now I'm only winning maybe 20% and back up to 11. Though honestly it seems that the optimized decks where people don't make obvious misplays crush me and the people who are kind of doing their own thing get crushed. How is this a Tier 1 deck according to Tempo Storm? The rush decks out rush it and the control decks out control it.

Could it possibly be you just aren't great with the deck? It's a very good deck btw. For instance, Oil rogue and Patron Warrior are typically considered top tier decks--I'm not good with either of them. That fact doesn't make them less than top tier.

Yeah it's probably that. Just frustrated.

Latest facehunter deck runs 2x southsea deckhands and 0 owls, makes 0 sense to me:

https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/d...c-impact-smorc

Just played around 20 games going from 15->10 and owl seems so crucial in silencing belchers and other taunts for lethal or silencing mad scientists etc early game. Plus thats 2 more beasts for kill command. Can't imagine running only 1 let alone 0.

Golden Rexxar

My first gold hero, hooray.

Midrange basically 480 of the wins.
