2015 Blizzcon thread - Page 4 - Hearthstone -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

the number of people at legend means nothing since we only care about the elite

i would like to know how many people play on each server though. afaik theres a lot of people in china

Absent very strong evidence, you should expect the elite of a larger pool to be stronger than the elite of a smaller pool.

Since JAB has to win with all 3 decks anyway wouldn't it have been best to save the Mage for last to hide what it is from his next opponent if he loses one of the other matchups?

yes, but the other argument is that since tempo mage is a big favorite vs druid then he can see whats in the druid deck before playing the tighter matchups

Definitely a mistake. I've seen him do lots of things that seemed obviously bad to me and then when he justified his decisions he offers up nonsense.

Really? I think he's great. He keeps things newb friendly and still does a good job of capturing the strategy of all the decisions

Man, bringing Mech Shaman when there's a good chance that there's tons of Paladins is pretty ballsy

It's the way he talks when he casts. I can't describe it. It's just bugs me after awhile. Though I'll take Kibler 100% of the time over Chakki. I absolutely loathe Chakki.

Matches like this don't make a strong argument for HS being a skill game.

why? neiria was punished for not killing the spellpower totem. the game was over in a turn, there was no reason to hero power into the 2/1 since you are taking that damage once anyway
