Arena will improve when Ice Rager moves out of standard

[@om0206]

MagmaRagerino Kripperino Where have you been?

[@leguan278]

MagmaRagerino Kripperino how Do you feel about your buff?

[@arbikiuszelemelek3347]

TheBlockyBird you mean unplayable cards in standard? :D

[@greendog456]

What about Shadow Rager?

[@JesusIzAPunkRocker]

Lead your tribe!

[@conclusionerinokripperino9947]

Making the arena standard didn't solve most of it's problems.

[@ultabane7019]

I think you're right

[@IntelligentContent]

Yea, probably!

[@123bamboom]

i look forward to your comments

[@cuckerinokripperino4216]

Something isn't right here

[@i_am_ergo]

"Standard" has nothing to do with the changes he's talking about though. He's talking about rarities and spells.

[@gogocrazy5]

The only change to arena I like is the gold cards to show that I'm Jewish

[@raziel6304]

add massive nose to profile pic or not a real jew.

Hey man... Don't you fear that you will summon Hitlerino Kripperino?

[@gogocrazy5]

kormannn1 the only fear I have is losing money

[@dozlan6423]

why would a jew waste his money on virtual cards?

[@lessonerinokripperino7350]

Lessons found in today's video: 3:49 Soulfire first to see what card you draw. 4:55 Darkspeaker is the perfect play because it saves Brewmaster from dying at 2 health next turn. 6:04 Even though Kripp has board control and doesn't need Dragonfire potion, one never knows when the board may swing. 8:25 It's too early to use Blastcrystal Potion so just tap. 9:35 Since Mogor has 50% chance not to go face just Siphon soul the other minion. 16:00 Tapping first before trading saved a minion. 17:15 Saving Blastcrystal Potion for a bigger minion is too greedy/risky, Kripp paid the price with it hitting his face twice. 20:14 Give taunt to Abusive Sergeant since Darkspeaker can transfer it's stats to it.

Lesson: not killing a 5/5 while having "free" removal is kind of stupid

Lessonerino Kripperino I think you are actually helping a lot of people, and you should be happy

[@MeXaHuK27]

5:30 why he played a dragon instead of healbot? (sorry for my english)

[@tossover6490]

MeXaHuK27 It's on curve.He was planning to play healbot and amani on turn 7

[@abzonline2410]

[@taxfraud5632]

Still not take two feelsbadman

[@fighttothedead]

The draft system may not be but the Tempo go first versus go second problem is a lot better balanced in shadowverse from my experience. The evolution point mechanic is quite interesting and i have never felt in the shadowverse arena that my opponents just won because of a good curve and going first, however i also don't have that much playtime in the mode.

[@pdpd9997]

fighttothedead Actually, one of the most common criticism of Take Two is that going second is considerably better than going first. I have never seen any complaints about the draft format before.

[@XLampaNX]

[@jardarklyve4992]

Of course arena is better now! Now its even more likely to get Awaken the Makers when it comes out. All you have to do then is drawft every single deathrattle minion from then on out, get atleast 7 of them, play them and Awaken the Makers without getting killed or lose the board to much, play the OP OP Amara, Warden of Hope, and win. Easy!

[@turntsnaco824]

[@argumentumadhominem3977]

Un'goro will have alot new deathrattle minions to clean.

[@MCOD1999UK]

What early game?

[@Rothbart24]

That mach against Morgl, well, if Kripp had actually used his Blastcrystal potion against the 5/5 instead of passing the turn, he could have had total board control and 11 health there. Instead he ended up with a full board, 1 health, and the enemy played a stealth. Funny how letting your opponent hit for a free 33% of your health ends up going bad for you, but it's all the rng's fault, right?

[@JohnBASIL1]

He was relying on his taunts.

[@retardirirani]

new "arena" feels like playing constructed with budget decks

[@DusanMadzarevic]

that's exactly how I feel about it

[@cristianbernal8009]

how do you even fix the going first vs going second? Have both players play at the same time?

[@stanimirivanov6172]

So what would you suggest? How can the "overwhelming" disadvantage of going 2nd be fixed?

[@GrabinUrloot]

How would you recommend fixing the going second experience? While I agree that there's a huge disadvantage with it, given your experience, what could be done?

[@fatemiricco]

well kripp, how would you fix the going second issue ?

[@CMont-pr6cb]

New day, new video, new /cry from Kripperino

[@freddiesimmons1394]

I wonder if, in hearthstone, the player going first should start with the coin and the player going second should just start a full mana crystal ahead? This would be as if the player going 1st was going second (a mana behind, a coin and card ahead), but player 1 could actually get ahead on board with a 1 (or 2) drop before player 2 can.

[@clipperinokripperino7128]

0:04 - [Talkerino] 3:07 - one drops and first 6:57 - always behind 12:03 - second and totems 19:05 - and back to going first again 24:06 - the big flip

[@incognito666z]

I have an idee on going first problem. What if the player going first had 4 mana on both turn 4 and 5 and the other playeer have normal turns she they swap mana advantage hafl way to turn 10?

[@TheGamerEmulator]

Game is over after turn 4 so that doesn't change anything.

[@EgorKozjevnikov]

the way you play is wonderful!

[@RampageSinMinas]

5:45 "that friends, its a topdeck"

[@umnikum96]

Good day, what would you think if 2nd player will start with 2 mana, so only 1st player have 1 mana stage? Think even if it seems imbalanced it could work.

[@umnikum96]

some math:(real situation) 1 mana advantage for 1st player 1st step, 2 mana advantage + board controll 2nd step and more and more and more. in my case: 1 mana advantage -> 1 mana disadvantage + boardcontroll (ballanced) ->no mana advantage + board controll (pretty ballanced) -> idk what could happened if hs will be ballanced...

[@brananananandon]

@Kripparrian would the player going 2nd getting 2 coins fix the winrate going 2nd?

[@xenorosthxmd7520]

Maybe the way to solve this is simply to make the coin cost 1 mana, but give a permanent mana crystal to them?

[@xerneis743]

5:36 Amazerino Kripperino xD

[@jondoh2226]

A change worth testing would be to start both players with the same amount of cards, and instead of the coin, player 2 would start with 2 mana crystals on the first turn. That would immediately start the game off as a tempo vs value game.

[@kyle-mb1ij]

oh great now i will have to continue watching 1 hour of kripp arena gameplay and the rest his ResidentSleeper brawl and rank 20 constructed play

[@It_dont_Matt_er]

I wonder if giving the second player a wisp also would help balance it

[@nikolaflex5749]

How about after the turn u play the coin u get another coin?

[@TheRyanK]

I get the going first thing is real, but I haven't heard any suggestions for solution. Is there one?

[@InfiniteDarkMass]

I'd like to see what would happen if going second you started with 2 mana. But no extra card.

[@EriconatorV2]

5:40 Kripp became Amaz.

[@ayernee]

right on time

[@Jeffk1]

I got the exact same discover as 12:46 just before watching this video. Mine was also golden and I picked antonidas. Ending up losing

[@MrTheCleverest]

- Opponent gets constructed opening - Salt all over the screen - Kripp gets constructed opening - Preeeetty gooood

[@baldawen]

Last mage arena I drafted 3 Firelands and 2 Fireballs. But I also sadly had no Aoe and only 2 2-Drops... lol

[@AlonescapeRS]

Sorry if i'm dense but if his winrate is like 9% of a difference, how is it 50 % higher chance to lose when he goes second?

[@Pieman16145]

As it turns out, going second is a huge disadvantage because it's harder to play from behind when the other player gets to play all their stuff first.

[@numberinokeyerino606]

Keys: 0 - intro 1 - core issues 2 - *hit sound* 3 - some nice perks 4 - uoohhhh 5 - *robot sound* 6 - I dont wanna 7 - 100% totem RNG 8 - ...s is bad 9 - *hit sound*

[@PrayYourGayAway]

Just drafted a arena deck with 2 legends with a score of 60.4. Wow since the switch in arena I haven't drafted a deck over 66.

[@remyllebeau77]

What about a carry-over effect that allows you to carry over unspent mana. It could be on a card to spend like the coin, but it only works for giving you extra mana next turn IF you have unspent mana on the turn you use it. There's gotta be some way to fix this losing with coin problem.

[@DrMoHoops]

Why wouldn't he blastcrystal the jade chieftain until two turns later?

[@BumfuzzleTTV]

Could it partially be the deck's he is building as well? He could be overvaluing aggressive cards thus loses more when playing a more reaction game.

[@Langolyer2010]

18:56 you had panda for replaying bomber.

[@jeansantiago5139]

what if the player who goes second gains 2 mana crystals on turn 5 so they have a 1 mana disadvantage for turns 6-10 whereas the person goes first has the mana advantage turns 1-5?

[@feelmypuddle4963]

Jean Santiago possible, but I'm not sure this would change a lot. Board control is often established by turn 4 anyway

[@roxylalonde1169]

Hey kripp what is the thing you use in arena that recommends cards?

[@mihalynotari2012]

Rob Sanchez heartharena

[@roxylalonde1169]

Mihály Nótári o ty ^.^

[@roxylalonde1169]

Wait but do I gotta type every single card option?

[@broccoli7817]

He should have blastfire potion against the jade chieftain, and he used when he was close to death

[@wtr0]

Kripp, what can be changed to make the game more balanced for the going-second player?

[@BulbaBryan]

What if u got 2 coins going second?

[@Djfletch978]

pre fledgeling! he looks so happy :D

[@davimarques255]

Já pesquisou hotel na internet?

[@jaxtremex3467]

my first standard draft i got 2 legendary 5 epics pretty good XD

[@demiseduke8000]

why is one blast crystal potion not gold? but the other one is?

[@omologo95]

Because Kripp only has one golden Blastcrystal potion in his collection

[@NortexG]

The only reason Ive been getting on average 6.5 wins is because of going first and having good 2 and 3 drops. My drafts have been pretty weak as well, nothing insane to come back to when loosing on tempo

[@Septimus_ii]

I didn't like the idea of making arena standard, but so far I've really been enjoying the change in rarity balance

[@xD-lt1mq]

They should make competitions where players can only draft 3 arena decks and play against eachother. That would be better than seeing the same meta decks everytime.

[@Arti09HS]

They need to give the person going second an additional coin on turn 2. That should help the gap a little bit more without being as overpowered as giving someone 2 coins on turn 1. It would also be nice if there was sort of a "Hearthstone PTR" where pro players could choose to play a bit and provide feedback to point out things that perhaps the Dev Team wouldn't normally discover.

[@nailedit174]

Fak, im late again Why haven't you seen me? Fak, how many videos behind am i again???

[@erikp9131]

seriously after the patch the average tier score of all my decks was between 59-65 thats unbelievable, it makes much less fun now cuz my opponents tend to have normally strong decks...

[@kit8168]

Sure, the control classes have more control available due to a higher chance of flamestrikes, and rare/epic cards. But isn't that a good thing? It slows down the extremely tempo/aggro based arena meta. And allows for new more midranged arena drafting.

[@alejandromatosanguis5267]

People don't always have the choice to make aggresive decks, most of them know that starting to build a deck around the first picks quality cards is the way to go. The problem is that, since there isn't a lot of synergy between cards, tempo is still the main winning condition regardless of the deck style.

[@jorjor500]

So what's the best way to for a F2P player to spend gold? I just bought the night in Karazan expansion, and I still have about 1K gold left. Also, no arena for me, tried it. After about 25 arena runs my HIGHEST deck score in hearth arena has been a 64 point mage deck I went 6-3 with. Most of my other decks have been trash ( I realize that heartharena doesn't always pick the best cards but it's a good standard to go by). Also, I just got beat down by a constructed Aggro shaman that had tunnel trogg, totem golem, and a 4 mana 7/7 on curve at 2-2, so no more arena for me.

[@TheBriguy1998]

It's a card game, going first is always going to be better then going second. With more spells, it IS better then before in Arena. The only thing that will change this is fundamentally changing the game as a whole, giving second player 2 coins or 2 extra cards. That would change things up, but first of second is always going to be better than the other.

[@Thaumius]

Well met!

[@neptez]

Kripp should make a video about Top 5 Kripperino accounts

[@KamiNoBaka1]

I miss wild arena. Mostly because I don't like standard to begin with. Fits with my history, though; back in the day, I only played type 1 and type 1.5 MtG tournaments. I prefer as many options as possible.

[@thakrel1650]

I cant remember what game it was, But the person who got 2nd got 3 coins, but could only use 1 mana per turn. I think 3 is a little much, but what if hearthstones stone was something like this. When play the coin, you get a second one at the end of your turn, this way it cant be combed with other cards on the same turn, like a turn 1 6/6 vancleef haha

[@zork2001]

I think giving the second player backstab like card just for arena instead of the coin would really help balance the early game out.

[@mihalynotari2012]

Christopher Davis would be too op..especially if you go second as druid or rogue

[@zork2001]

rouges can have it in their opening hand in the first place?

[@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX-fk7ux]

Don't worry, ran into six Jade lightning in standard arena

[@Daddy_Sexy]

what is "win more" cards?

[@mussante]

WeedSuperMan it means a card that is useful only when you already have the advantage

[@joci4968]

Suggestion: Have a turn 0 for the person with coin CAN play a one drop

[@rhett331]

ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) 0:11

[@Kettenhund82]

It's like watching Hearthstone Arena's Salt Compilation.

[@smileyklock]

I don't see why Blizz just doesn't make arena a sealed pack format. Give each player x number of packs with increased rare chances to total 45 to 60 cards. Then with those cards create a 30 card deck and the remaining cards can be used as a side board between matches.

[@Unknownuser72572]

I was winning more going second than first, because i was using buffadin and needed to coin out the 2 cost 1/1 that give everyone +1/+1. So going second actually made me win more HAHAHA

[@markholzl7575]

Suggestion: Why not just make going first and going second alternaly in Arena

[@Jack_Rakan]

Just played my first "standard" arena as a mage... out of 90 cards only 5 were spells, two were arcane intellects paired up with 2-drops (so obviously I had to get the 2 drops) and two were arcane explosion... paired up with twilight flamecallers. No 1-drops either (only got offered an angry chicken and a small time buccaneer). Went 1-3 (all losses against whorelocks that went first with 1 drops, and a bunch of AoE removal). Basically fuck-all changed in the arena from before, except I had 3 (shitty) epics, which was a first for me.

[@frckproductions6640]

I have been screwed over in arena. In 10 drafts I have had 0 mages, 0 rogues, and 1 warlock

[@pcinvictus]

My arena stats for last 6 months from HA are in the margin that Blizzard has always claimed: With coin Games: 92 Ratio: 60 - 32 Win %: 65.22% Without coin Games: 111 Ratio: 74 - 37 Win %: 66.67%

[@ferrarihuang5899]

Hearthstone top three youtuber 1. Kripp 2. Reynard 3. Amaz

[@Zidana123]

18:30 I just love watching Kripp get destroyed.

[@lilbigbozo]

so the arena changes didn't do much about the going second disadvantage guess you need more than a band-aid to close a severed artery

[@MultiGeorge101]

when will you start playing legacy league in PoE?

[@DtoZ24]

12:00 why did he give up??

[@Malmskaeg]

make it so that you pick 3 decks when you queue up for ranked ladder and it chooses the 1 deck u play randomly.

[@Sparxter626]

Malmskaeg You know that people can just make 3 versions of the same deck, right?

[@wigglytuffgaming]

I like how he said 0% RNG in his favor yet he gets a super high value demon off of Bane of Doom.

[@heavyarms55]

Ideas? How do we fix it? What could Blizzard do Kripp?

[@joaocarvalho517]

the coin should be changed to something like give 1 mana crystal for on the beggining of 6th turn after the spell activated lose 1 mana crystal this way a second player would be given a chance to contest advantage for half of the curving fase (until turn 10) upvote so someone sees

[@fan23fan]

Just imagine u pick 3 card one of them is always a spell, one always a class card and the last one neutral.

[@midget7867]

fan23fan lol for a tb it would be amazing

[@ahritzaka5898]

Hey Krippo, can you make a video why we all love watching you? I'm still trying to figure it out.

[@danielivo5313]

Wut, girl.

[@SirKibblestein]

Make an 'Arena Coin'. Player going second gets 2, but can only use one 'Arena Coin' per turn.

[@davidemmrich7534]

My winrate went down by a lot since the new Arena
