Triple posting this because I HAVE THE MICROPHONE AND YOU DON'T SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!

Also, I'm a first time legend with a massive case of the feels.



Went 4-0 to take legend tonight. Special thanks to this guy for not topdicking the PO to set me back two games.



Pro tip is that whatever counters tempo and mech mage best is going to rule the ladder.

I did. Didn't realize it was Robik until after he added me. Just thought it was some random kid spamming emotes at me (which I'm fine with and never squelch unless I'm tilting hard or focusing hard hmm.)

^^ congrats Wombat, I do remember your post about Facehunter a few days ago. It was blatantly obvious too... "oh Zoo is the #1 meta hmm I need a counter" though I don't think the matchup is as easy as people claim (I hear all the time omg this matchup is 95% winrate and it's usually like 70% at best even in insanely favourable ones.) Must be nice.

Spent another $40 on packs today so I'd have enough dust for Malganis (who I played for like 5 matches before switching.) But at least when I run into kids like this I feel good about myself, knowing I'll never quite be *this* degenerate or tryhard...



He had also played golden Hungry Dragons and pretty much everything else. I mean seriously, how much has this kid spent on the game? Probably in the ballpark of $10-25k?

Face hunter so annoying as midrange Paladin.

If they get Mad Scientist >> Explosive Trap I basically have no shot.

yea I never actually knew it before but I guess arena gives you way more rewards if you do well. I've spent $3 total on the game buying 1 arena run when I first installed it, and almost always craft the golden version of any card I need if I don't already have it. I do have a couple hundred more games than WhiteGoose though (like 3450 vs his 3250)

Key is that arena gives better rewards than constructed, but only if you're good.

If you average 3 wins in arena, it's about even. If you average about 7 wins in arena, you are "infinite" arena (getting enough gold to pay for additional arena runs in addition to getting the card bonuses.

Possible rewards are listed here:

i think for most players who hover around rank5, if they play arena equally as well they should be able to go infinite

the skillset is different of course, but not like tremendously so

Then after I get to Rank 5:3 I lose two matches in a row because Dr Boom and Tony are in my opening hand.

The game goes in phases of luck really. When you're a beginner, it's just a meaningless card throw, so it's pure luck. Then you slowly learn the basics and develop skill, likely to the point where you can beat most other Rank 17 kids or whatever and maybe even get up to Rank 5. Then the skill disappears and the Rank 1-5 kids are just pure luck again. Luck with what cards you draw, what heroes you queue into, etc. And then above that, it's skill again. Top Legend players will blast through those kids stuck in Ranks 1-5 because they do have this extra skill. Then once it's all top players playing in tournaments against each other, it becomes extremely luck based once more.

The game is a constant tide of luck washing in and washing out. Minions washing in and out of the board. Cards washing in and out of your hand. Opponents washing in and out of your queue. The game is one big washing machine of luck tumbling around the world.
to summarize this post:

the game is pure luck unless 1 player is more skilled than the other.

uhh, hmm. i guess I agree with that!
