Wow im fucking sick of auto losing because my opponent drops ysera. GIVE DRUID SOMETHING TO KILL FUCKING YSERA.

Naturalize is a viable card for ladder that basically demolishes Handlocks, other Druids and the odd Tirion/Hellscream/Velen.

You don't really need to -kill- Ysera. You can either silence or ignore it most of the time. If you don't have good legendaries and it's past turn 9-10 you lose anyway because the game's stupid.

That new revised freeze mage build is bullshit. I’m playing token, and am kicking his ass, I make him use up both of his Ice Blocks and get to a point where I win next turn (he has 2 hp and I have a Keeper in hand, not to mention a board of about 12 damage). What comes next is just bull shit. He goes fishing with Arcane Intellect. He top-decks a Thalnos, then comes the rape;

Frostbolt => Ice Lance => Ice Lance => Fireball then hit’s me with his Scorcerer’s Apprentice, the only minion he has on the board. A grand total of exactly 24 damage, the exact amount he needs.

I was so very sad

Played some hunter on ladder at rank ~10, one of my games I got a handlock to 1hp 2 separate times throughout the game, and lost. LOL.

Six games. Three Zoo Warlocks, Two Huntards and a lone Shaman.
Why do I even bother playing control again? And why can't I get at least the cards I NEED to deal with Zoo? Somehow, mulliganing Thoughtsteal and Ragnaros into Azure Drake and Mind Control doesn't seem to work.

Edit:
And two more fucking hunters.

Honestly, I've said it the last few days and I'll say it again... the state of this game is such an embarrassment and horrid right now. The 3 classes that seriously have issues are Warlock, Hunter, and Warrior. The former 2 being completely prevalent in latter right now (thanks Reynad), and the latter being an utterly shit class without the need of nearly every neutral legendary + stall cards in their deck because they otherwise suck at board control with their hero power (i.e. they're frustrating because of their ability to stall and can get away with it unlike Priests)

Hunter is especially disgusting now (this is coming from someone who abused his way to 500 huntard wins)... I think I played like against 6 of them today and 5/6 had the turn 4 buzzard/UTH combo which sadly ended up being the difference late game between them winning and me losing. Does Blizzard not look at the grand scheme and see the design of these classes and some of the cards right now are just... BAD? And now we gotta wait for Curse of the Naxxxramas months away before anything even changes?? sigh..

Some people absolutely take forever to do their turn. Why do you need a full minute to realize you can't play a card on turn one? Do you absolutely NEED to alt tab to that excel sheet every single round? I'm all for planning ahead, calculating damage and health, and using strategy. But sometimes its just ridiculous.

"Hmm. I have three cards and nothing on the table. Two of them are removal and one is a creature...Hmm. I wonder. My creature has 5 damage. Ok. Lets open the excel sheet. Yepp. If I input 5 damage, I'll have 5 damage on the board...hmm What if I use my other card to do 2 damage? I think I need to calculate the % chance I'll get the same card next turn." *a minute later* "Yeah. I'm going to play this creature".

This game pisses me off. There shouldn't be a ladder for a card game. 1 month season makes it 20x worse. Why is there such an emphasis on skill and competition when 60% winrate is considered godlike?

Why cant I get 4 UtH 3 Buzzards 2 Savannah Highmane 2 Animal companion not to mention the Timber wolf and Hyena he combo'd with it and the BGH he had to kill my frothing bersereker when I draft hunter. And yes I saw all those cards because he played terrible and I still almost won, but when his ez mode picks are inf better than my deck and gains a ton of card advantage off of 4 UtH. He drew 8 cards off of me and wrathed my board twice and still almost lost.

And the game right after that I play the 5 swipe guy, I arena all the time and pick druid the most and have never had more than 3 swipes. I have over 100 logged arenas and I never get 5 quality class commons offered in recent memory the only time I can recall even getting offered 5 of a class common was mage ice block. or whatever the 8 armor card was. Noticed I said offered not taken.

I'm such a bad player, so greedy.
My opponent playing the Highmane hunter is down to four health, I have a strong board but I over extended, he has a Highmane and a Hyena, I play supppppppppeeeerrrrr greedy and don't kill the hyena, he top decks UTH kills the hounds gets a 14 damage hyena and hits my face for 20 gg.

I have 6 minions on board against a warrior (got three in hand I didn't over commit) brawl he gets his one minion to survive. He is on one health at this point by the way. Brawl was a top deck also, he then top decks shield block and then slam to kill my two minions I lay next turn.
Just my luck.

Top SC2 pros hold ~55% win rates. The very best are higher in some match ups, but still. 60% is pretty good in the scheme of things.

Depends, I have 60% win ratio with priest at rank 5, doesn't make me a good player because it's only rank 5. 60% is good if you're in legend.
Unless you're the highest rank in the game percentages almost mean nothing.
