How many Blizzard Developers does it take to change a lightbulb???? They can't, because first they'd have to balance the ladder.

Here's a joke: Blizzard is good at balancing Hearthstone

Yeah, Blizzard, make it more consistent by limiting all Cards to one. That will make it.

Every deck should have to draft atleast one Rager. This would bring some consistency...

So all it takes to get upvotes these days is to spread some twitch copypastas to youtube? Sign me up! ☑ “This gentleman's deck is ABSURD!” ☑ “My deck cannot hope to prevail against a deck of that caliber” ☑ "He REQUIRED those two cards in subsequent order to succeed" ☑ “He extracted from his deck the only cards capable of defeating me” ☑ "His cards defied logic" ☑ “There was no manoeuvre at my disposal to secure victory” ☑ “I played impeccably” Love me ;-;

Every arena should have a common deck formula. Like every arena you are guaranteed to have 12 commons 10 rares 6 epics and 2 legends

4:16

Arena is the coolest mode in HS and you have to purchase a run. I would be 100% okay with another arena mode that is free but no rewards. Constructed is just annoying and frustrating to play.

I wish they would allow you a pick from 5 instead of 3.

Seriously this Mage deck is insane

kripp with a pinch of salt is the kripp we all know and love

5:15 why didn't you razorfen, then boar, hit the shieldmaster with your 1/1, then clock him with your now 4/5. So much more tempo. Am I missing something??

I was playing a Paladin at 2-1 that had the Chow > Minibot > Muster going first while I had nothing smaller than a 4- drop in my opening hand. Fortunately I top decked Doomsayer turn 2. FeelsGoodMan.

I still remember my first arena run. It was around the time just before gvg. I saw oddone say mage was good, so when it was offered I took it. I got 5 fireballs and black knight, then went 7/3.

In Magic, drafts (the "equivalent" of arena) are usually 8 players, who open three 15-card booster packs, selecting one card from each pack and then passing it on. In this fashion, the quality of decks is fairly uniform in any particular draft.

Yeah it should, all classes should have a 4 mana 7/7.

That chillmaw deathwing was insane

that was the best match ever. Chillmaw into Deathwing? That's what i call CASUAL JUSTICE

I think the Dungeoneering system from Chronicle: RuneScape Legends would work well in Hearthstone. Draft 2 from a choice of 5 helps get some sort of consistency and also allows for some decent synergy.

What is your favorite Hearthstone class? www.strawpoll.me/10992023/

Kripp sure has fun playing Hearthstone

Way back when you had about 1/7th the amounts of cards we do today, there wasn't much inconsistency. They need to adjust now that the game has had such a huge influx over the years. Mages will always have the advantage with their class cards/common clears showing up all the frickin time.

Disenchanted cthun to craft twin emperors feelsbadman

random thought. Have arena make you pick one pack series and only pick those cards with the basic cards along with them in draft.

It happens because there's a lot of shitty cards that exists that Blizzard has no intention of balancing, they just straight up power creep with "newer" cards.

Yes, because fuck Arena and the fact I get 30 common trash drops and my opponent drafted 3 Truesilver Champions.

Kripp thanks for this video. I think you are spot on with the arbitrary rarity determination.

Well I like what Day9 said a while back that in arena you draft 40 cards and discard 10 cards in order to have a better chance at creating better and themed decks. I also think that every draft should have guaranteed number of rarity drafts. Something in line with 1 legendary, 3 epics, 6 rares and 20 (or in the case above 30) "normal" random rarity card drafts. But bbrode said that they were working on an new arena draft system where rarity wont matter right? So maybe for the next expansion?... maybe?

Great idea! As the greatest card in arena everyone would want to consistently draft atleast 3 of me.

every time I watch a kripp vid I get a blizzard add.

Man I laughed so hard when it turned out that the dragon was deathing. Lol that some magnicifent bullshit right there.

I bloody predicted that Deathwing lol I had a feeling it was going to be him

HS is an rng/emotional rollercoaster - and this is how it's purposefully designed. Ppl get mad>buy packs. Ppl get lucky and win>they are happy with the game. 'Consistency' in this game is your overall winrate, that's it.

7:50 YAAAAY!!! SALTY KRIPP BECAUSE OF ME!!!

I predict that kripperino will stop playing hs by the end of this year lol

yeah I understand that commonly happen with me when I play arena, that's why I usually play tavern or standard xD

Just played Mage with 4 faceless summoner and 2 portals very balanced indeed

I think a good balance for Arena should be a draft deck mode with a fixed number of rarity card. So at the beginning of an Arena run you know that you'll have at least a deck with (for example): 1 legendary, 3 epic, 8 rare and 18 common. Not necessarily in this way, but it can be a good idea in opinion.

thx krip the voice of reason :)

I think Brode mentioned (or someone I was talking to) that a system that lowers the chance of drawing a card the more the card is picked. Though this might end up making Arena unfun, but the commonality wouldn't really matter anymore as the best cards will have the lowest chance of appearing.

Here's the decklist (24 of 30 cards) of Kripp's opponent: www.hearthpwn.com/decks/609685-arena Yeah, it's pretty crazy. It's not 7 flamestrike crazy, but then again, I don't know what the last 6 cards were. He could have another flamestrike, another legendary, some fireballs, who knows.

First, some perspective. I'm a PURIFY-PRIEST player. If you don't know what that is, it's not important, just know it's a deck I'm very passionate about and that I've played for three years now. That's right, I've played the same deck for the years, and it's never gotten stale. Why? Because the enjoyment comes from mastering the deck, from fine tuning my decision making, my sequencing, from learning how to play around the latest and greatest shenanigans.

kripp misplayed at 5:13, he should have played razorfen hunter and the stonetusk boar, then killed the shieldmasta

I laugh really loud on that Deathwing... XD

i've been there, a mage shot firelands portal when he was losing hard to my hunter and low and behold he gets halaziel, freaking halaziel and wouldn't u know it, he had a 2nd flamelance to help him win a definite losing match

I play a lot of magic and in their sealed format as you probably know you just work with pack in which the number of commons uncommons and rares is always (sometimes different in some sets) the the same. it might be nice if instead of the base 3 rares you get in hearthstone while everything beyond that being random, they would make it some that everyone always get the same amount of rares, epics and legend. I don't know what the amount should be, but everyone getting 18 commons, 7 rares, 4 epics and 1 legend in each run might be good. It will prolly not balance the classes but at least it would make the ups and downs further apart.

*opponent pulls chillmaw out of their ass AND deathwing* wtf arena

great video

100% Agree with the rarity evaluation, Ive always from day 1 thought there was some imbalance here, and its only getting worse. They need to do a pass on all cards and re-categorize the cards to suit there tiers in terms of power.

Couldn't agree more. I've made 12-0 in the past and I've gone 1-3, playing exactly the same, simply because of getting complete garbage choices and going up against opponents who did get good cards. There you are, sitting on your deck of 29 commons and 1 rare, and the other guy ends up having both Ragnaros and Hogger. It was like... yeah, great, fun game.

You know what we need? Legendary spells!

Ben Brode said they were working on a new drafting system not based on rarities in his Purify video. Fingers crossed.

The salty tears of Kripp feeds my power, I'm almost powerful enough to take over the entire galaxy.

I reached a similar realization a little while ago. I averaged just under 6 wins per arena in WotoG, so I'm not the best at it, but I'm not terrible either. I had a 2-3 Mage arena with a deck that I didn't really expect to do well. So it's whatever. The next day I do an arena and my options are hunter, priest, and druid. So I draft a druid deck with pretty decent minions, but not much removal. I'm really only expecting 4-5 wins. I proceed to go 1-3 against a bunch of decks that were way too good to be at 1-1 and 1-2. My 1-2 game in particular against a shaman with spot removal, weapon, a lightning storm, and high quality minions. I'm getting aggravated, but I decide to immediately do another arena. My options are hunter, priest, and paladin. So I pick paladin and my first card pick is between Target Dummy, Eerie Statue, and Silithid Swarmer.... I immediately proceed to uninstall the game.

today at 0-1 i played agaisnt topdeck flamestrike into topdeck blizzard into topdeck pyroblast

Ben brode over the twitter Q&A he did a few days back said that he and hearthstone in general might be considering changing something about area

That opponent played 24 cards that were a combined 1539 points in the heartharena tier list. Meaning his average deck tier score based on what we saw was 64.1. That's like in bottom 10%, that opponent had a very inconsistent deck with bunch of very weak cards.

0:04 Watch the Kripp bros.

the concentration of salt in Kripps tears is too damn high

I was thinking about going back into Arena today, been away for months, then I saw this video... I'll save my Gold I guess.

I went 11-3 first time plaing arena with an amazing arena dec. so yes thes tings can happen. sorry for my bad english

I think they should make arena like sealed in Magic: the Gathering, you open X many packs and build your deck out of that.

Is there a reason not to clear with Boar and Hunter at 5:16?

Can you try mabinogi duel? i want to Know your toughts on that Game

pretty sure ben brode said they were planning to redo the arena drafting to not work off of rarity

Possible quick and dirty solution: Increase arena occurrance of class rare cards to the level comparable to common cards.

In my last arena run I went 2-3, and faced 6 legendaries: Sylvanas, Cairne, Rag, Grommash, Blingtron, and Shifter Zerus. Is this normal?

7:54 "Dude, thats fucking bullshit" ^^

how in the world did that guy draft that kind of quality deck. stuff of dreams

When exactly do you get the c'thun?

If only that guy had me, he could have made that a constructed deck

This could be the ultimate never lucky game.

Kripp, do an elder scrolls legends video please! I think you'd really enjoy it!

I like seeing the draft of the decks :/

The Arena mode is broken. Simples..

Good to know the Mage went on to be 12-2

They should give you at least one choice between Moroes, Moroes and Moroes. That would make it quite consistent

5:10 Misplay - should've gone for the summon 3 and trade, leaving him with a 4/2, 2/3 and a 1/1 against an empty board.

What if they did a guaranteed system for Arena?? First 20 cards are common card pools 21-27 are rare card pools 28-30 are epic or legendary card pools Something similar to this anyways, I could see it working and make Arena more consistent I feel.

Already had a leeroy hit face outta one of them damn portals :/

Are there any cards which hasn't been Kripperino-fied?

That's why I don't play arena, I am so unlucky that I won't get a single good deck and arena seems to purely depends on which deck is better and your card draws/opening hand that plus it being paid and I only do arena in my secondary account (still rarely)

The way ranked should work is your first game is random whether you start first or second, then the next game the opposite. So if you started going 1st next game you go 2nd then game after that 1st again. that would make a big difference.

EleGiggle I'm KRIPPARIAN, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old lady Rania and my son, Big Dex. Every minute of my stream has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years of salt - you never know WHAT they're gonna pay me to play EleGiggle

Another idea would be to just completely remove the rarity drafting thing and replace it by mana costs. Blizzard can then also balance arena on the fly by simply tweaking the chance of drafting certain mana cost cards on the fly. The most important thing in arena is staying on curve and playing tempo every turn. So have the draft be based around that makes way more sense than any sort of unbalanced rarity quality disparity among classes.

Have kripp ever made a video on pokemon tcg?

Got aviana in arena today lol

They should do it where you open 'X' packs where you don't keep the cards and then you choose a hero based off of the cards you pull and then make a 30 card deck, easy

would making each of the three cards you can choose from have a chance at being above common make it more fair? then there is a 0-90 chance of getting rare or above rather than 0-30.

Was anybody else dying when he played deathwing😂😂😂

what's the drag- "I am power incarnaaaate" lul

I think so, In my Hs experience i got one 12 win, 2 9 wins a bunch of 6-7 wins and a lot of 1-3 wins, yes im a bad player, but when i got a mage i shine. when i got a togue /shamman i suck. i think it should be rebalanced and stff

I just got a shaman arena run with a tier avarage of 72.5 with basically everything you could ask for except maybe a few boardclears, anyway... it ends up 2-3... the first game my opponent plays a turn 9 ysera and when I hex it it turns out the secret he played with kirin two turns earlier was counterspell, in my last game my opponent double eviscerated my earth elemental and then plays thaurissan followed by 3 comboed shadopans and a boulderfist and in my and on top of that I only got basic totems out of all the maybe 8 tuskarrs I played... wtf

What i`ve been saying for about a year and a half now. Arena should have specific draft raritys at certain pard picks. EG card 30 will allways be a legendary. You get like a certain number of raritys in a draft garunteed then the rest are commons. Like you`re garunteed 1 legendary, 4 epics and 8 rares then the rest commons. That was every deck has the same chances of drafting similar powers of cards.

Didn't Ben Brode already say they'd be taking a look at this and making a new system for Arena that's not based on rarity?

Kripp my friends sayed im fucking noob because i dont have any legend :/ and then! i bought 1 classic pack and i've got GOLDEN TYRION!!!

WAYS TO BALANCE ARENA 1.) *Balance your cards.* Generally, constructed decks are greater than arena decks, but there are some cards in the game that aren't played in constructed that not even an arena player would want. 2.) *Fix rarity.* Rarity is currently a major deciding factor in Arena, which theoretically is okay if it wasn't completely arbitrary. 3.) *Increase draft pools.* Think of this as a spectrum. If arena simply gave you a deck of completely random cards, that deck is always almost always going to be worse and less consistent than if a player was drafting from a pool of 3. However, 3 has perhaps proved to not be enough. We need to increase the cards pools even more to enable more consistancy. 1-card pool arena draft = as random and inconsistant as it gets. If we go to the opposite side of the spectrum, infinite-card pool arena draft, we get literally constructed, which is the most consistant.

Just make arena rarity based on how often the cards get picked. Cards that get picked every time they're an option simply show up a lot less often.That way it's impossible to get a deck full of only good to great cards and everybody would have to deal with some shitty cards as well.

What I think is only legendries must have lower chance to be drafted when making deck By this I mean epics and commons has equal chance to be drafted But still you will find fewer epics than commons since number of commons are VERY HUGE compared to epics Yet by this warriors can find brawl and your enemy will not say "oh secret... well ice block is epic so most likely its not that" when you play secret as mage

i think everyone should have a minimum of each rarity card. Like 2 legendary 6 epic 10 rare and 12 common and draft that way. You can build a realy deck like that because you can build around those legendary of your.
