the reality is though, seeing and having played hearthstone for years, is that people will build the specific decks that are 'meta' and 'strong' and experimentation dies down.
I don't see a problem, experimentation isn't done bottom up generally. It's the content creators that experiment both in magic and in HS.
I don't see a difference except that I'm denied the option to get exactly what I want for longer and that I can't follow meta moves even w/in my chosen deck.
I imagine you missed your opponent casting Abnormal Endurance on it in response to the nova
Yes, hacked accounts having things dusted is an issue w/ HS because the hackers are using the dust to buy things.
To make the cards they want because they're using the account for their own desires?
You need to get in and out of a hacked account they aren't that hard to reclaim.
It's a massive reduction in the amount of busywork they need to do to reclaim an account for someone in the event they lose control. Restoring gems/gold is simple, undusting/redusting a profile back to an earlier state isn't.
Gwent had a pretty good thing going in the emote department to where each character had different phrases to represent each emote response. Depending on the situation some responses could be taken many different ways. The funny thing about this is it can affect the choices made during the match. With some characters you could even fake a misstep and bait them into responding. In Gwent each match is a best of 3 rounds with a limited card draw. Its similar to blackjack in you can pass at any time and whoever has the higher number of points at the end of the round wins the round. Was always hilarious at the end of the match you and the opponent go to play your last card punctuated by the "watch this..." emote. There were very close matches where I've had shit for my last card and I've thrown that emote around as if I had something then the opponent forfeits thinking I had the higher point card, lol. I highly doubt it will happen, but if the planeswalkers you choose as your avatar could do that it'd be a plus in my book. Add a little bit of spice to matches lol.
And the other 50% of the time I don't draw any lands past my 2 lands in my starting hand for 6 turns? Seriously the last 9 games in competitive were either manascrew until I'm dead with not a single land drawn or getting flooded beyond belief.
Right, except when I want to play a Chainwhirler, Frenzy, Risk Factor or Wizard's Lightning without a wizard on board, a.k.a half of my deck or would like to play more than one thing per turn while my oppnent ramps into a turn 5 carnage tyrant. Or you know, simply also plays mono red and got 3 or 4 mana on the board.
Why not take a break from the game? From your posts you aren't remotely having a fun or rewarding time, and there are many other games that may be more enjoyable. If you're done, and the game is unfair, be done and you might be happier! I've quit games before and seen my life improve.
I'm having fun with the game when it's not screwing me over 9 times in a row and scamming me out of 1500 gold.
Maybe I'm misremembering but many of your recent posts seem to indicate you feel the game is highly unfair and you're not having any fun, while also saying you're done.
