I completely agree with this. In thousands of games I think I have roped out of time unable to complete my turn exactly once. I tend to play super fast anyway, I'd rather play fast and make mistakes than play optimal and slow, I mean who cares at the mid ranks.

The beginning of the rope animation does not mean "begin making your plays now" and so many people seem to think that's what it means.

Every single person who claims to have run out of time due to the animations actually ran out of time because they sat there for 70% of their turn doing nothing.

It's sorta like being given 2 weeks to do an assignment in school, waiting till the last day to do it, and then claiming you failed to finish it because the computer lab closed 15 minutes early that day.

Shaman will always be inherently suck because it has no control over its hero power

Yes, I completely agree, well-stated!

There were def quite a few turns when I was playing Control Priest or Oil Rogue where I needed the full rope to think and execute my decision. Decks where you have to think 1-2 turns ahead can def make you pressed for time.

Would you say you need the full rope only once or twice per game on average, or every turn? Because if it is only a couple times per game then the time bank solution should still give you enough time on the turns you really need time, and could give a single turn a lot more time that is given now, but would require you to be more efficient on your other turns. Overall, I think this would be best fo the game.

i played a lot of arena today for the first time in a long time and every person in arena when the game is lost starts to rope each turn to the max, pretty funny when they are top decking. lots of salt i guess

I am a huge fan of shortening turn timers, but there are quite a few animations that would have to be signifigantly cut down to reduce it further.

I like shorter turns and shortened animations. It's incredibly annoying to know exactly what you want to do, and have plenty of time to make the actions with your mouse, but the game won't cooperate.

I'd like timebanks as well, but lets face it, blizzard doesn't trust its playerbase to understand more than 9 deckslots. What are the chances they think we can handle the complexity of variable length turns?

heres a little sample of "the playerbase"

People who want shorter turns are complete aids.

90 second turn timer was fine if people weren't BM'ing.

And even then, it was still fine.

Coming from MTGO, I've experienced 10 minutes BM'ing.

Shoe / Cotton Hill worse posters ITT and it's not even close. Go away.

Also, dkjo, r/hearthstone represents only a small portion of the hearthstone player base. If the 20 million number is to be believed, then r/hearthstone is 1.25% of the players on hearthstone. Think about that.

The rope change is mostly sucky in cases like whirlwind where the damn animations take up more time than your playing does. Animations really shouldn't count as part of your play timer.

you obviously didnt click the link since that reddit thread was just compiling posts made on the official blizzard forums. suffice to say a large portion of the playerbase (and likely the majority of the base blizzard deals with) is really really dumb. most people just dont think like we do. its like how in school you would take standardized tests and always score in the 99 percentile, and all your friends did too, and the tests were really easy, and you couldnt really grasp what it meant to not be in the 99 percentile or how it was possible. but turns out a lot of people arent! (99% of them actually!) and these people are all really stupid but they exist

a timebank, obvious as it is to us, would actually be very confusing for a lot of people. but no, I have not collected data by talking to every single person who has played hearthstone

Lol

None of my friends ever came close to the 99% percentile... ForeverAlone.

Um no. Sorry my mind works more quickly than yours. Also, FYI insults are against the forum rules here, but I won't report you for this one.

Does your animations work more quickly than mine?

Oh wait, of course they do. Since you don't play patron warrior.

Buzz off.

Please stop poking the patron troll, you'll just spawn more of him.

everyday,

calm down son.

patron players are scum so i have no sympathy. i have never once seen someone run out of time when they started their actions as soon as it was their turn, its always 30 seconds of figuring it out then a "yeah this should be enough damage" when the rope appears

k bro

If you want to nerf patron warr nerfing patron would be the way I'd go about it. Only deck that is using the card is patron warr anyways. Its really not fun to play vs the deck esp with the excessive roping the deck brings.

I'm pretty bored of hearthstone right now all together like some others said. I'm having trouble logging in to knock out my quests. The dragons seemed to make the meta boring to me only adding one super broken deck a couple good class cards and a way to good legendary for combo decks. Hopefully the new expansion does more for the game.

Gotta love how internet stereotypes are almost always true.

Guy spends tons of money on the game, is super defensive and insecure about it. Plays cancer Patron warrior, super defensive and insecure about it. Complains about the animation timer, super super defensive and insecure about it. Same guy randomly throws ad hominem insults around.

People who primarily play the cancer decks are cancer. They just attract a certain type.

obviously not the most popular opinion but I don't think patron is all that bad for the meta tbh. yeah, it's annoying to play against when it works out but it's prevalance makes face hunter pretty much a dumb pick which I'm pretty happy about, it also has some counters and relies heavily on the skil of the patron player in a lot of the match ups (sorry priest). I'd much rather have an OP deck that's annoying to play against when your opponent has some clue what they're doing than have the meta flooded with decks requiring little to no skill or even thought to execute while still winning a large %

$27 = Tons of money.

Who knew! Please continue being the worst poster ITT.
