I got that earlier. I rebooted my computer and got right in.[DOUBLEPOST=1408852043][/DOUBLEPOST]Strike that, just got kicked out and now it's got a 29 minute queue.[DOUBLEPOST=1408852208][/DOUBLEPOST]I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that the PS4 version of Diablo just dropped this week.

Ahh, I didn't know that was releasing. Might be.
Well, a little bit of digging shows that a group is taking credit for DDoSing battlenet, so yeah...

"I had the same trouble, took me almost 10min to log in last night, kept getting kicked off, lag would spike to 1500ms, the usual after launch. Don't play Hardcore after launch, that's the lesson.
Also, a lotta these streamers get good at the game, get a channel going, and they start to get that celebrity mindset, and they turn into prima donnas and think they can get away with normally inappropriate behavior. It's no different from the jocks that make it in the NFL, for instance.

My current Shaman deck sucks, but it has it's moments. Up against a mage, who has already used both his polymorphs, I played Cairne Bloodhoof, and went ahead and used a Reincarnate. So I had Baine and Carine on the board. He played a Spellbreaker to silence Carine, but I was having none of that. I used Ancestral Spirit and my second Reincarnate to give myself two fresh Carines Bloodhoof, both with their death rattles intact. Then I used my other Ancestral Spirit later on an injured one, so that if he wanted to use his hero power on it, he'd just end up with another fresh Carine to go with the Baine. It was like Bloodhoof whack-a-mole.

A 100+ card expansion is coming for Hearthstone.
The developers say it will have a bigger impact on the game than Naxxramas did. Also in the works are an observer mode, possibly new daily quests, and an Android app by the end of the year.

You can go without 1 mana drops, it's the 2 drops that really make or break the early game.

Hearthstone should have a winter holiday celebration, with a bunch of cards getting themed reskins. The legendary from the bunch could be Greatfather Winter, a reskinned Ysera, who gives out Present cards instead of Dream cards.
I'm playing DOTA in hopes that Blizzard will get jealous and send me an invite.
It's not working.
LOL, It will come. If it's any consolation, they wrecked Murky, one of my favorite heroes.

Don't know if this has been posted yet. Good for when ya need your fix. On the other hand it's sad to see the cards I need vanish into not my collection. Come back, knife juggler!

That is far more fun than it has any right to be.[DOUBLEPOST=1410443008,1410442847][/DOUBLEPOST]I had to keep going until I got a legendary: found Millhouse Manastorm

I feel like a better fix for buzzard would have been to make it a 2/2 for 2 (or a 0/3 for 2), and limit it to one card draw per turn. "For the first beast you summon each turn, draw a card."

Fuck Rogues.
...I play mostly hunter but I don't run buzzard so I'm not ready to flip a table. I've also never come anywhere near the legendary ladder but I'm gonna pretend that's not related. Shaddup

Yeah I figured for that mana cost they would up it to a 4/3 or 4/4 like auctioneer since they both do the same thing. Leeroy was bound to get nerfed since he was everywhere even in non rush down or combo decks.

What do you use for card draw?...I play mostly hunter but I don't run buzzard so I'm not ready to flip a table. I've also never come anywhere near the legendary ladder but I'm gonna pretend that's not related. Shaddup

I don't. Admittedly. And I know that's why I stall at level 12 each season, but I like my deck so I don't really worry about it. I guess that makes me a bad player. Oh well.

Webspinner is pseudo card draw.
I only play ranked because it seems to give me the best chance at having an even match. I've never even made it past 13, I don't think. If you have fun with the deck, that's what matters.
Changing the buzzard to 5 mana is completely killing the card. No one would use it now, it's too expensive to combo with hand beasts, and you'd get better value out of an unleash combo by using a cult master now.
They did this because they feel hunter is too strong with the buzzard/unleash combo. They've nerfed unleash several times before, first nerfing it to 4 mana, and then backing it up back to 3, and now killing buzzard. What they should do if they don't want that combo is to simply make unleash summon SPECTRAL hounds that are not beasts, like spectral creepers for haunted creeper.

Trump weighs in:
In short:
- Trump says that from his experience, and personal notes, Hunters make up between 1/3 and 1/2 of the current meta
- This change invalidates all current Hunter archetypes, and he knows of no way to make an effective Hunter deck for constructed play.
- Miracle Rogue may live, though it will likely switch to a Malygos based version.
- Predicts that Handlock will become more popular, and this will make Shaman more competitive.

Keep in mind that Trump is talking competitive, Legend-rank / tournament, play. He might be right, that a 5 mana Leeroy may not be competitive enough against other decks at the pinnacle of Hearthstone.
