commission for @askriven-theexile

I’m one of those people who has been wondering the fate of Mara Sov since The Taken King, so naturally Forsaken has given me pretty much everything I could have asked for and more. We finally got to meet the Queen in person this week for the first time in more than three years, so naturally I felt that deserved something to commemorate it.

@katashe is wonderful.

How to break a Paladin’s spirit in Hearthstone (Courtesy of RNG):

  1. Play Priest
  2. Get Sylvanas and Tirion off Shifting Shades
  3. Have Entomb for his Tirion
  4. Steal his Cairn with your free Sylvanas
  5. Leave him knowing you’re playing a N’zoth deck with both a second Tirion, your own Sylvanas and an Entomb for his Sylvanas still to come

Games like this make suffering through the horrible Shaman matchups worthwhile.

Ladder is a bit weird at the moment. I’ve gone from a block of six consecutive games against Shaman into six without running into one, including my first meeting with a Paladin in some 30 matches. At least my performance against them is fairly decent and evens or better against virtually everything else.

Checking the end-game turn counts makes it pretty apparent where I’m falling down. My current deck is 27-12 in games going beyond turn eight but only 1-7 in games lasting less than nine turns (and that one win was an AFK). Beyond that you have two wins that went unrecorded by the deck tracker (so no turn count) and another that was an insta-leave.

That leaves me at 31-19 (62%) after 50 games

Really happy with this play. I’m loving Whispers of the Old Gods so very much; it’s made me fall in love with Heartstone all over again. While it’s taken me a while to get C’thun/N’zoth/Reno Rogue working, I certainly can’t say that it hasn’t been worth it.

do you think dean being passed the torch and interacting with different legends was the true payoff to having to fight lesnar at mania

That depends how you define “payoff.”

I think the interactions with hardcore legends certainly represent something of a rub in WWE’s book. Regardless of how we might feel they’ve treated Dean, this is a guy they’ve booked in two main event ‘PPV’ matches, one of them for the world title, and then gone on to put across the ring from Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. As someone else put in on a forum I frequent, Dean Ambrose has basically become something of the face Bray Wyatt in terms of being a guy they trust to work with big names but who ultimately isn’t supposed to win in the end. That’s a good spot in the bookers’ eyes even if it’s unsatisfying for his fans.

I’d say we’ll have to watch tonight’s Raw to get a real idea if Dean is going to get anything more out of this angle, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this just ends up as his equivalent of Bray Wyatt’s feud with the Undertaker.

I hate when tumblr makes me think things aren’t being posted when they’re in fact being posted multiple times.

Swain Feels Like A ‘High Risk’ Character to Riot

Everything about swain is high risk and he likely won’t be updated for quite some time because cowards shudder to think how much of an outcry there would be if Riot tried to ‘fix’ Swain in any particular fashion. They rather put him in a box for now and deal with him when they absolutely have to and it’s not the creative/art team’s fault for that either.

I mean ... alternatively it could just be that they recognise that he’s a character who needs a “full-on rework” but are prioritising other things (Immobile mages, Sion/Poppy/Taric/, Targon etc) before working on the guy in any serious way. Why make a legendary skin for a character when you want to completely re-evaluate all aspects of their design in the relatively near future?
