I tried to do a BASIC DECK only run to masters and got frustrated at diamond 2. I then switched to my paladin constructed deck and have since gone 16-1 and I'm still diamond 2. I guess maybe my MMR tanked a shitload trying my stupid challenge. ~_~ oh well, games are fairly easy on my paladin deck so I'm sure my MMR will normalize soon. | ||

I just got a key last night, activated it this morning but the 'Play' button on the battle.net client is greyed out still. I did read on the forums about others having the same issue, but nothing about how long it can take Edit: Found out you can refresh your account by changing password, instant fix | ||

Claw+Wrath is an absolutely horrible example of a counter to cleric, as is Kill command. Both of those "counters" have a much more powerful value if used in different scenarios. If you have spend a bit more mana or draw to remove it, you're going to have less available mana and/or cards going into midgame. Thats what makes the Cleric combo so strong right now...........Furthermore, no classes apart from Warlock have reliable card draws apart from battlecrys and other cards so cut it out...Ive seen people posting that lame argument on every forum. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Priest needs a nerf right now, Id much rather that we, the community be allowed to shift the metagame for a while yet. Warlock is the only one with reliable draw cards? Are you crazy? Rouge, Druid have multiple cards that let them draw very consistently. You are seriously overblowing how strong the combo is. Yes it is very strong and extremely mana efficent but without it priests can be very weak and easy to punish. | ||

You are seriously overblowing how strong the combo is. Yes it is very strong and extremely mana efficent but without it priests can be very weak and easy to punish. That's a different guy but... most of what he said is right. Remember you draw a card from pw: shield. So if you use two cards to get rid of the buffed priest, you are still a card behind. You also would have spent more mana than they did to get the combo off. Honestly, the only thing that deals with it efficiently, in terms of cards and mana, is sw: pain. Everything else (that I can think of) is some level of inefficient. Kill command is ok in terms of cards, but is pretty bad in terms of mana cost and opportunity cost. But like I maintain, it isn't that you can't deal with it with a couple of cards, it is that the vast majority of turn 2 and turn 3 plays open up the opportunity for massive card advantage for the priest (by running their 1/5 into your minion and healing it). Which puts you behind from the very beginning. | ||

All 3 losses are to bullshit legendaries and then a topdeck Gorehowl when I was just starting to win in lategame. I have yet to see a legendary pop up to pick let alone more than 1 epic card that isn't complete crap. I get 0 gold for my arena run. I hate arena fml. Legendaries are a huge problem in arena. It's basically an "I win" card with the randomness of arena draft. You should either be guaranteed at least 1 legendary (or they should be disabled completely) or you should only go against other people with legendaries. It takes away all of the fun and excitement of arena when I'm drafting a deck and think I did good then I get to go against people who have 1-3 legendaries in there deck just waiting to wreck me and take the win. | ||

The only good cards seem to be the two imps (which are great!), shadowflame, pitlord and Shadowbolt. Succubus is borderline, mortal coil, soulfire and demon fire are okayish. The rest seems to be straight bad/unplayable. If i compare it to any other class, the spells are terrible. Half of the creatures are terribad (Felguard. WTF is wrong with you?) and many of your spells only work if you had drafted demons making them even worse if you don't have them. The only way right now to draft warlock seems to be to get imps, get great 2 drops over anything else and pray to rngsus that he won't recover from your early lead. What am i missing here? | ||

Start figuring out which deck you want to play in constructed and craft all cards accoringly. If you cant decide on the deck, play the basic decks and get a feel for the classes. | ||

Legendaries are rarely a problem in arena in my opinion. The problems in arena come when some clown has 5 frostbolts, 4+ swipes, or 4 truesilvers etc. In general I find arena players to be worse than those at the top of ladder. And while ladder has all the scary 'PAY2WIN! omg they bought packs and have insane decks!' It's more or less manageable assuming you have a strong deck yourself. Before I got into Hearthstone I thought Arena would be the end all be all, the perfect solution to not wanting to buy packs etc. But after playing and getting better at the game, I've noticed Arena in general seems like lower quality play and extreme variance in what deck your opponent has which leads to more 'randomness' than your traditional game. You can't simply play your opponents deck assuming they have 2MC or 2Poly, because they could have many, many more. I believe Arena play is more sloppy because people aren't as familiar with their decks, didn't build it purposefully with their own cards and likely aren't as comfortable with the class they selected, in comparison with ladder players who pick their class and decks purposefully. I still spend all of my gold on Arena buy-ins, because you get the pack and should likely get at least 50g to make the pack you receive ~100g (as though you bought it at standard cost) and have a good chance at actually making gold, or a smaller chance at getting 2 packs. For the most part Arena seems pretty straightforward and highly reliant on 'what bullshit did this guy get in his draft?' All of the games seem to follow a pattern, they drafted garbage = easy win, they drafted insane retard shit = easy loss. With very little standard games in between. The games feel stomp or be stomped by the draft gods. | ||

You don't know what else was in his draft though he may have just gotten a lucky draw. I just started a priest run last night and I had a legendary pick between ilidan, harrison jones, and I can't remember the 3rd and I picked ilidan. But I also had some pretty terrible choices to pick from, like the 4/5 for 2 that you have to silence was the best card in one of them. Played one game last night and got a pretty amazing draw. I northshire clericed turn 1 and he played scavenging hyena and turn 2 I drew the wolf that gives adjacent minions +1 so I was able to kill his minion with the cleric and keep it alive so I was just able to build a card advantage from there and never looked back. I always seem to get amazing draws the first 3 games and then start having the worst luck when I start playing more people with more wins. | ||
