I'm not into the WH fantasy universe either (40k rules!), but I'm always looking for great coop games to play with friends. Everyone seems pretty hyped for that game, I got to play a few hours in the last beta, its nice. But the appeal always lies in playing with other people

Yeah, I'll probably check it out a bit when it comes out. I was a big L4D fan, and I agree that a good coop game can be really fulfilling.

Snarkiness aside I am really going to be annoying people around New England for a meetup around some mountain in the winter where we can slap some boards to our feet and zoom zoom downhill. Does that sound enticing?

Im 9hrs away but love snowboarding and think a snowboarding trip with LLers would be pretty great.

I had a great thanksgiving weekend chilling with the family, watching the montreal canadians and blue jays win. Wednesday is going to be a shitshow downtown toronto and I have to go there to watch nitro circus which i am also hype for but not hype for traffic.

My mouse at work has decided to stop working so I had to borrow a mouse from a coworker. The clicking and accuracy is sporadic and it won't keep anything highlighted. I feel like I'm going insane.

Ok so this Wordcloud contains all of the posting of this person's last twenty posts. Anyone want to take a stab at who it is? I'll leave spoilers for an immersive experience if people want to guess without them. Or confirm their guesses before they post.

+ Show Spoiler +

They frequent LLL (duh)

+ Show Spoiler +

They have a penchant for mages

+ Show Spoiler +

Perhaps they even like white bread?

I wasn't able to guess it by the wordcloud. The last hint is cute but only made sense after I sleuthed it out. I was too impatient

Man, I am not a fan of Wordclouds, tbh. I know they can have some quick, at-a-glance value, but beyond that, they're just bleeehhhhhh. Although Lumira (and probably other data visualization software) can make them super easily.

Patron nerf incoming. Warsong Commander now gives +1 attack to Charge minions.

Yeah Patron is dead. Charge warrior might still exist though?

The major downside is that Warrior players are now just going to play Control, which I honestly find way more annoying.

I love me some wallet warrior, but I will admit that in this meta of many druid decks control warrior isn't that great. Double combo druid is like 60% winrate vs control warrior.

Druid is probably the strongest class by a longshot now. Combo is so frustrating to play against.

Midrange hunter does great against it. When your force their Lores to heal rather than draw you pretty much just win the game short of them having perfect curve.

Why would you run this over raid leader though?

I recall Day9 saying Koyuki posited Charge was the most powerful attribute in hearthstone.

I don't see how they weren't able to get it so only minions with currently 3 or less attack currently are granted charge. Seems to make more sense to me...

LOL. To be fair I think Zdra is just saying Math warrior might still be a thing.

So now that patron is dead what deck will people move on to complain about?

Secret paladin. It's not even that scary either but if they hit a perfect curve (and doesn't it always seem like they do?) it's game over no matter what deck you're playing.

T1 Argent Squire/Secret Keeper > T2 Shielded Mini-bot > T3 Muster > T4 Shredder > T5 Loatheb > T6 Challenger > T7 Boom > T8 Tirion

I'd say only stopping that is demon handlock with double moltons in hand by turn 6-7 and that pulls malganis off their voidcaller or freeze mage with perfect curve the other way.

Nah.

Freeze mage does extremely well against Secret Paladin, provided you have some removal. Doomsayer T2 will kill Secret Paladin tempo, straight up.

The issue with Freeze being that Drood being popular necessarily kills Freeze Mage on ladder (as will the slightly larger numbers of Control Warrior).

The top trinity of decks after this hits? Secret Paladin, Midrange Drood, Handlock.

Below that: Midrange hunter, Freeze Mage, Dragon Priest, Tempo Mage, Oil Rogue, etc.

The loss of the Patron matchup weakens Control Warrior on ladder.
