Add Shudderwock endless copying, Mill Rogue and BEES! Armor Druid on the list of stuff that needs addressing.
Agree with Sniplock and ultra-aggro mechadin needing to be kneecapped.
Secret Mage ... yeah, annoying, but I've gotten by them as well. But they've been atop the wild ladder for a while now, and it needs to be periodically cleansed.
- Something that breaks up Mill Rogue other than bad deck shuffle or misplay on a rogue's part.
I like playing in Wild because it's generally slower -- a real game of Hearthstone sees both players running out of cards to me -- and there's some old fun decks. It's a trade off of going away from the Standard ladder pollution of aggro decks, but substituting that with BS play decks -- Big Priest, Un'Goro Quest Mage, damn near every OTK that ever existed and the like. To some degree, there's tech cards that counter some of this and there's an acceptable curve of BS plays to counter. But some of this stuff has no counter, a one-shot make it count counter (Dirty Ratting a Shudderwock) or goes beyond conventional BS.
/agree with above's call to look at Mechwarper and to a degree Crystology, but Flankmage ... well, I don't play aggro, so it's a whatever card to me.
Mage -- I'd rather grind for 1K Jaina (+/- 350 wins away) or wait for Khadgar to be offered again.
Hunter -- I don't play much hunter, but neither impresses me. Alleria is annoying, and so is Rexxar.
Warrior -- Too bad that class fell out of the meta. Magni is ahead of Garrosh, and the video of Lord Prestor aka Deathwing wasn't impressive. Mr. Chu would be awesome to import though.
Lord Daval Prestor (Deathwing's human form), but without the hookah pipe or a fancy FDR-style cigarette holder? C'mon Blizzard, that would have been AWESOME art for a Hearthstone face picture, and just right for one of the most feared dragons to suddenly take a night off for cards. A suave Smoking Dragon-Man (a la the Smoking Man of X-Files) is a far better look than He-Man's Trapjaw/a Warhammer 40K Ork warboss accessory-sporting knight.
/FYI: The cancelled 1990s-early 2000s Warcraft Adventures game starring young Thrall had him encountering dragonform Deathwing, who is chilling, smoking on a hookah. And it has how I always picture Deathwing, even through WoW Cataclysm, casually smoking while DESTROYING EVERYTHING.
//I first thought we were getting Nelfarion as the hero, actually. Found him a suave alternative to Garrosh and I do miss his card being viable.
OK, so I don't need to figure out how to win with a class that sucks in the meta (warrior, how quickly you have fallen) or that I suck with ... but I still need to reroll murloc quests and 1-cost minions. (Aggro is a disease).
I actually liked divine shield and secret quests, and won quite a few matches while NOT TRYING with overload joke decks I made just to finish the daily quest in one or two tries. ("You mean, just firing lightning and lava and one OP early minion is enough to beat someone?")
Team Doom Bringers (Zalae, Firebat, Asmodai, Surrender) If they put Regis Killbin and Disguised Toast in place of the latter two, this would be the ultimate slackers on the couch, taking it easy Hearthstone team.
Team Rabid Rangers (xChocoBars, Disguised Toast, Regis Killibin, Solary) We're just tuning in for Toast (hey, look who's back) and Regis. Or cute Asian woman.
Team Mega Fins (Trump, Dog, Hafu, RDU) A pair of kings, a queen, and a joker.
Team Rust Buckets (Thijs, Brian Kibler, Amaz, Kolento) Should be renamed Team Overconfidence. We're just tuning in for the freakouts.
Off topic but the Blizzcon card, Sathrovarr -- we can craft him, right?
And Anduin and Priest Co. gets to kill a few minions and smack face/minions twice. Hm. Be more in line with "priest character" if we got to MIND CONTROL 1-4 minions of our opponent and got the weapon too. Probably help priest in a meta, too.
Yeah I was ill last week and tried to play the game on a Galaxy Tab from bed ...
Fricking Hearthstone kept crashing reliably in PVP, particularly when there was a key play.
Went 1-2 on those crashes :(
Had a few but not as many crashes on PVE (tavern brawl vs. computer and adventure runs).
Playing on a Steam controller and several feet away from a monitor instead, not as comfy and definitely not as quick as mouse, but at least I won't lose to coding issues
Druid -- "YOUR STAR OF THE RAVE, DJ NEON ANTLERS!"
Hunter -- Rexxar was never the same after appearing on Animaniacs.
Mage -- "Out of the way now, children, Grandma Jaina has to roast a motherf---ker."
Paladin -- "Won't you donate to the Hobo Knights of Azeroth?"
Priest -- So it came to this; Anduin, long ridiculed, had his Jason Momoa Aquaman moment, and he was taken seriously. Kinda.
Rogue -- (Looks up rogue record; 73 wins. Long sigh)
Shaman -- Behold Young Thrall, in his strapping Warcraft 3 days (not that real young awkward Thrall of Warcraft Adventures).
Warlock -- FEAR. THA. CODPIECE.
Warrior -- And now we know what a Warhammer 40,000 ork would look like if he submitted himself to the Chaos God of Mutation and Change, Tzeentch. WAAAAAAAGH!
That's weird. For most of people, patch 2.7 really solved lots of issues. I'm sorry to hear that your problem hasn't been resolved. Even my FPS has been increased to 60 with all options enabled or maxed out. Using a laptop with Nvidia 940M graphics card integrated btw.
Also, nostalgia all the way ✌
Found my problem with Age of Mythology. Apparently, if you have it selected at the wrong display size or windowed mode, it crashes constantly. However, I didn't know about alt+enter mentioned in the video to force it to windowed mode to fix the resolution.
Did two of the Chinese missions so far and it didn't crash.
Age of Mythology needs a serious reboot. And I wouldn't mind if they added Aztec/Mayan mythos or, if miracle allowed (unlikely in today's political climate), the Hindu pantheon (do we know enough of the Mesopotamian gods and creatures for a faction?).
I bought the Asian expansion on Steam sale last year but it crashes constantly and refuses to load at times.
I'm in for AoM2 or whatever but recent patch (2.7) actually solved lots of performance issues. I advise you to check it out.

Article idea for the site:
Wild things that need to be nerfed or addressed.
Just a few things off the top of my head:
- Bees! armor shenanigans with Druid
- Endless self-copying Shudderwock
- Something that breaks up Mill Rogue other than bad deck shuffle or misplay on a rogue's part.

Today Kripp is establishing himself as the Final Boss of Hearthstone Battlegrounds.
Tourney would be more fun to watch him in it.
Yeah you have to clear both out of your deck and then can put them back in. Weird.

I've noticed the last two days I've been kicked off Hearthstone after a match or the game crashes on the PC more often.
Thought it was bad enough I couldn't play it on my tablet as we await the mobile patch/expansion purchase options there.
Questions I'd ask:
1. I assume there's no story mode for this expansion, since Auto Chess is being promoted.
2. Madam Lazul's comment in the trailer really mean anything at this point?

Oh, I thought maybe they were banning Anduin for some bug. Good to know.

Gul'dan.
DAT CODPIECE.
Once you see it ... you can't take it seriously. Especially with his hand gestures. I picture an old orc talking about his prostate exam.
"First the doc grabs your package like this, and then they put their other hand ..."
First thoughts on the portraits:
Druid -- "YOUR STAR OF THE RAVE, DJ NEON ANTLERS!"
Hunter -- Rexxar was never the same after appearing on Animaniacs.
Mage -- "Out of the way now, children, Grandma Jaina has to roast a motherf---ker."

Bugs I've seen:
Copying deck codes using the event cards go Wild only, you have to manually remove them after switching to Standard and put the event cards back in.
1,000 win Anduin (only 1k character I have) doesn't stick on Wild decks when you choose him as portrait for that.
Faced a knife throwing minion spam hunter. Reno and a board clear from Zephrys made him quit before the bombs added up.

Nope, no change. Still crash to desktop.
/still have the AOM cds somewhere
