Over 24 hours and still no fix, in fact not even an official acknowledgement that there's any sort of issue. The combination of sloppy testing, combined with the ninja update (effectively lying to your customers) is just one more illustration of how comprehensively blizzard are managing to screw things up.
What a joke.
It's getting to the stage that, when a new update is announced, I've stopped getting excited about the prospect of new features, rewards, etc., and am simply resigned to the fact that blizzard are going to screw up the game for the next few days.
Perhaps then, you should stop basing your life around patch notes then, yes? 24 hours and no fix! OMG Better alert the pentagon that a company didn't fabricate a fix in less than 24 hours!
The only thing that IS a joke is your expectations that companies deploy non-critical fixes in less than 24 hours. It's very easy to see when people (like you) have no idea how the software industry works, and spend their time complaining about *literally* everything.
Want a positive takeaway? Try to be grateful a little more. Be grateful you have internet, heating, a house, a mobile phone to screw around on at work, a job that pays you well, food in your belly. How about you stop acting like an ungrateful little cretin and you'll find that things like small bugs in video games just don't bother you as much anymore.
Wow dude. While I mostly agree, I'm not sure you are the right person to teach people about morals or how to be grateful for things life has given.
I do think however that a company like Blizzard should indeed come up with a fix for an issue not allowing half their playerbase to play on their phones in 24 hours.
It sounds like OP needs more taunts in his deck and needs to be mindful of being below ~10 HP. Also, according to HSReplay, Leeroy is in ~44% of all decks. If you are being this paranoid about him, you need to just assume they have em and take the necessary precautions. Otherwise, your entire post just comes off as you being unprepared. Go back to the salty threads where you can blow steam off.
Dude. You sound like you are always prepared for him and never get crushed by him (good for you then but I doubt it). Isn't it just boring? Being like "fuck, Leeroy incoming, and there is nothing I could do to prevent it". Yes it is.
Also, you sound like you never got 16+ to face out of nowhere, from Warriors, Rogues etc. So your below 10 argument is nowhere near the truth.
My post is not about salt, but I'm sure you know better. I don't mind losing, those days are way behind me. It's a complaint about how boring it is to lose to the same dude for 6 years.
Is it boring being finished off by the same card since vanilla. Yes, yes it is. I wouldn't even care if they basically made a new one every year but I am so sick of Leeroy at this point that I would jump for joy if he got HOF'd and I know Gadgetzan and Mally are not problems right now but their infinate abusability has limited spell design since vanilla too, also boring now. New shit same ish effects who cares, just ditch the tired out vanilla cards already
But, as has been stated in the past, certain cards restrict the design space because potential new cards would be blatantly abusable. Leeroy, given his stats and charge, certainly fits that description. And removing him would, I feel, allow for more interesting aggro cards to be released (maybe even burn cards, since the automatic pseudo-fireball inclusion is gone).
This. Just another reason to say goodbye to him during the next rotation.
Removing it absolutely guts aggro and some combo decks. I would prefer if better taunt cards are design to counter a prevalence of Leeroys. Besides which, the card itself presents a problem since it essentially does nothing if its not winning the game.
I respectfully disagree. I would very much prefer if other aggro cards are designed so that aggro decks are not gutted, than hearing "Leeeerooooy Jenkiiiins" for 2 more years.
His uses are not limited to being a finisher. Can remove taunts with 6 health max, effectively working as a silence as it clears the way for your other minions. Or can at least contribute to removing a big threat.
I'm playing on EU as well. I would not bother creating a new thread for expressing salt, there are dedicated forums for that issue.
But. My problem is, there were times when you could feel kinda safe-ish at low health against certain slower decks. Now I feel like this is not the case anymore. It seems like people are starting to realize that 5 mana neutral fireball is just good for many situations. And I can't blame them, since Leeroy is the only remaining playable neutral charge minion in the game.
It is literally used in every aggro or tempo-based deck, I even lost to him playing against a Highlander Mage when I was like "oke he is out of threats now".
Blizzard's HoF policy is exactly what you just described, namely they send cards to HoF that are literally too universal and therefore used in almost every deck (regarding neutral cards, that is). Check Azure Drake, Ragnaros the Firelord, Sylvanas Windrunner etc.
My point is, it is kinda boring seeing him pop up in every other game, at least for me. I could say the same about Zilliax for example. While I like the card, I'm starting to feel sick of him and I'm glad he rotates out in April.
I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before in other forums, so sorry for creating a new thread for this.
But man. This guy is driving me crazy.
There were times when you could distinguish between decks that are likely to run Leeroy Jenkins and decks that are not.
But tuday, LITERALLY every deck I face plays him, no metter what the deck type is. It is just a universal 6 damage face finisher for 5, which is good in everything. So sick and tired of the entry sound as well after playing this game for 6ish (?) years now.
It should definitely go to HoF with this year's rotation in April.
What do you think?
*proceeds to put him in every deck to join the dark side*
Ah, I see. He got the Crazed Netherwing from Tome of Origination. This makes sense now, thanks for clarification. Feeling like a dummy playing this game since beta and having forgotten about this interaction.
Boompistol Bully does NOT increase mana cost of cards that have been reduced to 0 mana. Just lost to a 0 mana Crazed Netherwing after double bully effect from reduced cost Shudderwock with doubled battlecry. It should have been 15 mana...
Just got Rotnest Drake from Primordial Explorer. Opponent was like WTF, as was I. It seems the unreleased cards are in the pool already. Is this a bug, or intended?
Not enough nerf to Ancharrr IMO. They should have increased the mana cost by 1 so it comes into play 1 turn later. It's still too strong of a tempo play on t3. Mark my words, Pirate Warrior gonna rule the meta (at least until the 35 new cards hit).
You play a completely different deck with those subs. Could work, but you miss out on a lots of targeted draw and therefore weaken the deck substantially. 2 x Town Crier and 1 x Kronx Dragonhoof are so good and essential for consistency.

Same here.

It IS boring.

Sadly enough, you'll have to buy the 2nd half of the 1st chapter for 700 gold/$6.99.
It means the card is tagged. If your opponent does not play it on their next turn, it is discarded.
Except it is actually 2800g. Still good deal tho.

Other nerfs seem OK.

edit: typo
OK that does it for me until the nerfs. There is no way you can outtempo a constant stream of 'free' 2/1 rush minions.
Just go for it.
Oh my god yeah, there was an expansion named TGT. Almost forgot. Still the worst expansion to date.
Which just shows that how exceptionally broken was it at 7 mana.
