There's almost no skill component to it, if you're not mentally handicapped your play is dictated by the draw, and the decks are all cookie cutter.
Aggro vs Aggro = coinflip Control vs Aggro = good opening hand wins Control vs Control = 10 minute yawn fest before coinflip
95% of Arena games are fun, even when I lose. 95% of constructed games are boring, even if I win.
I guess it's because Arena is mainly a board control game and you can do that almost always with a good curve, even with some mediocre minions. Board control doesn't work in constructed at all because every deck can guarantee AoE and other gimmicks.
(Yes, I'm salty because I died with a hand full of Equality while all my Pyromancers and Consecrates were hiding at the bottom of my deck) "I prefer arena; I do not prefer constructed." Am I missing a reference of some sort? Or are you just editing my QQ down to a single line for some reason?
I was just pointing out that you made a bunch of balance/skill claims, but the core of your argument was summed up in that line. It's okay to prefer one mode over the other; that's why they differ in the first place.

They also put out a notice about performing live maintenance and them not expecting it to disrupt the servers.
Of course, their servers could just be shitter but i expect it to be the increased serverload from open beta.

So apparently now besides the hunter face rush deck there's a warrior face rush deck. Ladder is basically infested with quick win decks now.

Opponent: ------------------------------ Turn 1 - Turn 2 - Lightwell Turn 3 - Divine Spirit -> Inner Fire 10/10 minion on turn 3
I then QQ for the rest of the game.
|
A QQ on behalf of an opponent:
A Priest played Auchenai Soulpriest and had almost complete board control against me. He followed this up with a Holy Nova, which wiped my board... and most of his.
Then with his remaining mana he used Lesser Heal on his Soulpriest.
"That was a mistake" indeed. I legitimately felt bad for him, it was such a misplay.

I was playing a Paladin control deck with 14 health remaining. Had my opponent (a Warlock) down to 8 health, board was clear and I had a slew of cards in my hand. I decided to throw down the Mountain Giant, since I don't play it very often and I wanted to finish him off in style.
I end turn, he thinks for about 10 seconds, then life taps. When I saw the life tap I was convinced it was all over, then it happened. Leeroy > Power Overwhelming > Arcane Golem.
Top decked it, with a life tap, had just enough mana and just enough attack to finish me off. Worst of all the last time I could've played Guardian of Kings, which probably would've won me the game. If it had been arena I would've been pissed off, thankfully it was constructed, I couldn't help but marvel at how perfectly it worked out for him.

Arena. Mage. 0 fireball. 0 flamestrike. 0 frostbolt. This will be FUN.
Edit: Nvm, 9-3, and it was fun.
|
My opponent just got 7 cards off blessing of wisdom because he got to go first. Played a turn 1 creature into turn 2 divine shield into just constantly trading his 2 for my 2 his 3 for my 3 etc.
|
Enemy Warlock top-decking against me as Paladin, also short on cards. He had 4 life so tapping wasn't an option. I'm thinking okay I'm in a really good spot not much that this guy can - YOU FACE JARAXXUS, EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION!
It was arena as well, just to salt the wound.
|
i have some serious bitching to do.
im at 16 health, he is at like 15.
LEEROY JENKINS. takes me down to 10. im like, thats cool. i take it out and bring him down to 10.
next turn, LEEROY JENKINS, +4/+4, and im dead.
who the fuck gets two leeroy jenkins in a deck.... bullshit, qq
edit: obviously, arena.
|
Im really fucking pissed off with being disconnected every 2nd game EVERY FUCKING TIME I GO INTO ARENA.
YAY i go 1/3 because i DC fucking twice and then get abysmal draws the third time.
Bullshit!
Im also yet to see one decent fucking card for my decks. Ur pally? NO HEALS FOR YOU. Ur mage? NO SPELLS FOR YOU.
Legendaries? More like Myths in arena.
|
Just got the DC bug in arena where you come back to find a 0/0 key. I had 6 wins. Whelp.
|
Drops Nat Pagle: "Fish you fucker! Yess, thank you!"
Drops Nat Pagle: "Fish you fucker!--FUCK YOU!!"
^Pretty much sums up how I feel about that card >_>
|
zzz people who have 1 HP left and topdeck the one single legendary in the game that could give them a win.
Seriously why are legendaries even a thing in arena?
|
I should probably take a break today. RNG is not on my side. 1-7 in constructed, six of those losses to Murloc Warlock decks.
2x Wrath 2x Starfall 2x Swipe 2x Claw
Somehow I haven't managed to draw a single one in all six games.

Mages everywhere in arena...
Draft a shaman with no removals and get 5 out of 7 mages that have all the spells they need. Went 4-3 but damn mages everywhere... >.>

The only time I ever have respect for Hunters is when I make it to 10 wins and run into one there. "Fair play sir" then he does some retarded UTH, Buzzard, Wolf combo wombo, and all respect evaporates

Started a new arena run. First game Mage coins Nat Pagle on turn one. Later came a Bloodmage and then Ysera. What the fuck.
I really don't understand why they insist on making this game so RNG.
