Had this bug happen again today in my favor. Was in a long battle with two of us left that had already seen 4 rounds of head to head play. I had won the first 3 but they had improved their board against me really well to take round 4. Then round 5 happens, they beat me again, I should take 8 damage going to 5 with them at 3 life but instead they exploded as if I won instead and I got the win. Don't think I win that normally.

That's got to be frustrating for them.


In other news: this patch is hard. Seems like a lot of the tribal things have been diluted pretty hard by getting an entire new tribe in. Personally I think Tirion is even better now because tribal strategies aren't working out as well so just grabbing a hodgepodge of good tribeless minions and buffing them is crushing my games. I'm 4 wins, 1 second in 5 games as Tirion since the patch while having a large number of other games see the tirion still around when I lose.

A lot of the new heroes are fun to play but require some different thinking. I've been seeing a lot of success against me with Doomwing and token makers. Usually a pretty consistent top 4 but not top 2 deck since it maintains it's health easily into the mid/late game but gets outclassed once people are into tier 5/6.

sounds like they conceded before the final match started.

I have seen it happen twice recently that someone that beat me in a match immediately showed up as a ghost.

There's a patch coming out tomorrow so hopefully it includes a fix. Also, Tirion is going away, so get your games with him in quick!

Goddamn it I really want the mage Reno guy but I do not want to play single player to unlock it

I'm back. What did I miss?

Meta is relatively well balanced, no class is OP although Hunter and Rogue are probably top 2. Most meta decks do incredibly broken **** to have huge swing turns, and sadly, seems like games hinge on who does their broken **** first. Enjoy!

The mobile app crashes a lot. 4 times in a row trying to start a game. Glad some things never change.

went around 50-20 today with various hunter decks. went from rank 13 to rank 5. interesting game right now.

some very, very overpowered cards. I won't get into it much but LOL holy power creep. This game stayed true to its roots there. Not surprised at all.

Hottest of scorching takes: Scion of ruin is the most broken card this game has ever printed.

Well thank god for you that you werent playing when it was 3 mana

I'm enjoying playing Mechadin at the moment. Res priest is my nemesis.

LOL holy ****ing ****.

I dont know what goes through their minds sometimes. Winged guardian is pretty up there on the list for me as well.

Big announcement today.

New Demon Hunter class, Priest getting an overhaul, ranking system getting an overhaul (to bronze/silver/gold etc.) among the highlights.

And Leeroy and a few others getting Hall of Fame'd (which I guess means removed from Standard though I'm still kinda new to this).

Leeroy hall of famed, blizzard should just hire me

goddamn they unnerfed yogg

only, what, three years too late?

****ing rogue secrets ugggghhhhh

My mobile client will not work because "my account is running a newer version of the game." no option to update mobile client.

try to queue up on PC client, "cannot start your game. please try again in a few minutes" for about a half hour now.

charming. I feel like a prisoner with stockholm syndrome returning to this game. announcements are cool though. I figured something big was coming this year.. the game seems like it's dying, at least competitively.

New class seems op as ****.

lol this is why i love this game sometimes.. galakrond rogue is crazy fun.

I won't spoil too much, but I did get to play an antonidas for like 6 fireballs in 1 turn, and jaraxxus made an appearance... he was 1 hp from winning at the end and tried to highroll a puzzlebox for the win (the second one of the game). Absolutely ****ing nutty.

I'm having a lot of fun with Galakrond Warrior.

My favorite "fun" deck is Quest Warlock with Dollmaster shenanigans. My favorite competitive decks are Highlander Mage (recently crafted the new Malygos) and Aggro Pirate Warrior. I played a couple of games of Galakrond Warrior and didn't quite get it, stuck to pirates for a while. Last night I tried the Galakrond flavor, and wow it's powerful. I am considering crafting Kronx. Not sure if he's essential, but seems like he could be a worthwhile investment if Galakrond continues to be viable. Not sure if that's going to happen with the new year though. DK's certainly were, so who knows.

Kronx is a staple

yeah, kronx is 100% necessary, it tutors your win condition

i'd run like 4 if i could

Honestly, I think the biggest part of the announcement (besides the new class) is the duplicate protection across all rarities now. It actually makes me kind of angry they're only doing this now and not years ago, but I'll take it. No more opening 5x meme epics on expansion launch day and minimal others, and should be able to get all commons and all rares very easily.

I said goodbye to my golden Temporus and hello to Kronx. Now I'm thinking I should craft that second Bloodsworn Mercenary. I usually use it as a win condition to copy an Inner-raged Leeroy. Having a second one seems like it could be helpful. I've been stuck waiting for one piece of that combo a few times.

I just took first in a Battlegrounds, vs an Alexstrasza that previously had a big nasty board of Dragons. I faced her a couple times before the final match. But when we got down to 1st and 2nd, she had a board that was like 5 buffed murloc tokens. The kind that you get from the 2/1 tier 1 minion. It was something like 5 of those buffed to 3/4 + poisonous, and some other random minion. I don't even know how you construct that type of board. Seems like a total bug.

The 5/4 guy buffs murlocs and can give them poisonous. The strongest end game in most cases is super buffed murlocs with divine shield and poison and a ton of health. It’s really hard to get though. Odds are he saw your build and knew he was going to lose so he just changed his build.
