No surprise really . <| sep |> You are reading more than is there into my original statement . Just to be clear , I ' m broadly on board with the CYPA but I ' m also a strong privacy advocate so your considering it a minor aspect and downplaying the risk of serious , negative however unintended consequences for individuals really grinds my gears . It ' s not a minor aspect , it ' s a valid and serious concern . <| sep |> I ' d like to see a panic stop while headed down a steep hill . <| sep |> That just sounds like less optimized Midranged Shaman , one of the only decks in Hearthstone history to have a positive match up in almost every single fucking facet . Pretty much the only nonwinning matchup is freeze mage , which stands no chance against the other half of the meta . And even then , Freeze mage is like 65 %. If they just drop 2 big threats at a time , you run out of freezing effects . Then you just die to Things From Below , Fire Elementals , and Ragnaros . If I wasn ' t in university with basically just a laptop and wifi , I ' d have stopped playing this stupid fucking game by now . It has so much potential , but they keep on squandering it with braindead curve decks that dominant the meta for 68 months on end . There is SO much room for cool features in a digital game , but half of it is their negligence and the other half is keeping the game simple enough for phones . In order to keep the game as casual as possible , they have to play around with these stupid ass core aspects that should ' ve been adjusted ages ago . Secrets are NOT fun to play against . They are balanced around their mana costs for a reason , stop printing so many god damned ways to cheat them out for EVERY class . I don ' t want to be looking at 4 secrets on turn 3 when the countertech for secrets suck ass . The problematic aspects of this game almost never have adequate counters . Sticky deathrattles aren ' t worth silencing because they ' re usually 14 mana . Secret Eater doesn ' t do shit when they just push face damage and you get a slightly overstatted minion . Kezan Mystic does fuck all against 4 free secrets you still played a horribly statted minion to steal a single secret that they got for free . Every single expansion has pushed this game further into a coin flip fiesta where the decks require a total of 4 brain cells to pilot at the most optimal form and games come down to drawing well and RNG . I literally know someone in real life that started playing Hearthstone very recently , went to a tournament for fucks , and won . He also happened to win against VERY notable players including Fibonacci and various streamers . He won 3000 dollars against some of Hearthstones greatest players because he won enough coin flips , and he started playing maybe 2 months prior . This game is a fucking joke .
