According to PSN profiles, my top 15 rarest trophies all come from sports games, but that's less about their difficulty and more that there isn't much crossover between people who play sports games and people who collect trophies.

I got to legend in Hearthstone, but that's more of a time investment than a skill thing.

I got the platinum trophy in Thumper, which is apparently pretty rare. That was definitely a skill thing.

I vaguely remember watching The Hurt Locker, and have seen about a third of Slumdog Millionaire, but that's about it from this list.

Birdman was playing on a plane I was on but I wasn't interested.

If you're looking to be f2p you're going to have a tough time.

They no longer do adventures, which means there are 3 full expansions every year and much more cards to collect. Including the next expansion, you'll be 4 sets behind which is a lot to collect.

I think ranked is broken at legend right now. People have been posting screenshots on Reddit of them getting matched up with high legend ranks while they were at a low rank.

I've played 4 games so far at legend and in all 4 I was matched up against someone at rank 4 or lower.

I dislike both playing and watching it, but it seems to be blowing up on Twitch for some reason. I'm not interested in playing PUBG either, but find it much better to watch that Fortnite.

The power went out at the outdoor game.

Looks like we'll just have to start over. Seems like the fairest outcome.

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

I fucking did it. Finally. It took a change to the ladder system, but I finally reached legend.

I know I was essentially gifted a great rank to start, but I'm still pretty proud of this achievement. It's something I've worked towards for awhile now, so it feels good to finally get there.

My last few games were the most intense games I've ever played. I first went up against a Paladin mirror, where we went back and forth and played nearly our entire decks, but he had the answer for everything and sent me back down to 4 stars.

I then played against a Warlock and thankfully got a great hand, which gave me the win and another chance. I queue up and see a Warrior, which ended up being the dead mans hand version.

I was already angry at the thought of potentially losing here. We both drew great, but he managed to clear my board every single time. We somehow nearly played until fatigue, with two cards in deck each. I had a full board, and he was at something like 15 health with armor. I knew he had a single Brawl left in his deck and it was the only thing that could beat me, so it came down to a 50/50 on that last draw and thankfully he didn't get it. I ended up having exact lethal next turn.

I seen my first control Mage (twice) and control Warrior on ladder this month at rank 1. If only they weren't direct counters to my deck. Back to rank 2.
---

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

Damn, I just can't seem to break through. Had this problem last month as well. 10 straight wins to get a few wins away followed by 5 losses in 6 games to bring me back down.

98% of my gaming has come from a console, where I assume almost all games are 30fps, and I turned out okay.

There were probably games I played on those consoles that ran at 60fps and I couldn't tell you the difference.

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

I survived a Siphon Soul. I also got extremely lucky.

I just played against the same guy 4 times in a row at rank 1, going 2-2 in the process. It was a mirror match too. After the first game, I waited 30 seconds to queue because I didn't want to play him again, but he must have done the same because we ended up playing. Then I waited another 30 seconds, and I guess he did as well because we played again. After that I decided to insta-queue, so of course he did as well for both games 3 and 4.

Now I'm here to kill time in an attempt to make sure it doesn't happen again.
---

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

I just survived double defile, double hellfire, double twisting nether, and a Guldan into a Voidlord and 3 Voidwalkers as Dude Paladin.

I had to topdeck an Equality with Consecration in hand to beat out that last one and find exact lethal, but that was crazy. He had an answer every single turn.

They messed with the rankings because of the issues they had with ranked, though, so you might have dropped less than 4 ranks.

I went from 1 to 5 after the reset, then from 5 to 3 without playing a single game after the hotfix.

I'm a diehard Leafs fan and I only realized that tomorrow is an outdoor game. There has been absolutely zero marketing of it here in Toronto.

Has there been any promotion in the Washington area for this thing or does literally no one care?

It's impossible to please everyone. The vocal minority at the top of the rankings were the ones who disliked the old system the most, and so this change benefits them the most.

I feel closer to being in that camp as I love the changes, but as someone who spent about a year playing this game very casually as a f2p player with a ceiling of rank 18 every month, I can see how it can be annoying.

So errr when I logged into my account today it said I achieved the rank of 25 last month which is incorrect. Now granted I only bothered to get to rank 20 but still why is it telling me I got rank 25?

I also didn't get the 3 packs compensation

EDIT: Checked on my phone and got the same thing

The ranked thing is a visual bug. You should have still gotten the appropriate rewards.

The packs are coming within the next week.

A hotfix for ranked was released. In the process, some players were given some stars for some unknown reason. I went from 5 stars at rank 5 to 3 stars at rank 3 without playing a game, which means I'm actually up a star from where I left off last month.

We also get 3 packs. Blizzard should neglect to test their game more often.

If you're not interested in keeping the cards and are only looking to maximize dust, you should only craft golden if you don't own any version of the card, though. Crafting golden if you own two normal copies doesn't get you any extra dust.

I wish I could get tickets that cheap. The worst Raptor ticket available at the ACC is around $60, which is before you get hit with all the fees.

You can also pay $120 to stand at a Leafs game.

Even a TFC game is going to cost you near $100.

I finished 4-3. Funnily enough, other than my final game where I conceded on turn 5 after my opponent played Naga, all 4 of my wins came against Wild decks, and my loses were to standard only decks.

I've beaten Reno Mage and lost to standard Spell Hunter. Barnes is not a fun card.

I'm debating between using standard Murloc Paladin or standard Dragon Priest.

I'm leaning towards Priest because I assume I'll be seeing a bunch of control.

Case in point I suppose.

Carry on, then, Hearthstone topic!

I literally have Blizzard employees on record saying they designed that game with remove player skill in mind. I am objectively right on this. The very design of Hearthstone prevents any and all player skill from deciding any win or loss.

Everyone come to the Hearthstone topic for more quality posts such as this one.

Some form of Dragon Priest is the best Priest deck right now. Spiteful is the most popular, but the one I linked also does well and is pretty cheap.

An interesting choice of wording in the hall of fame section. It mentions that you'll receive dust for the cards as if you disenchanted them. Does that mean we won't be getting full dust refunds like we did with the last hall of fame rotation?

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

Year of the Raven is the next standard season.

The new expansion has yet to be announced, but we got hall of fame announcements!

Ice Block
Coldlight Oracle
Molten Giant (they un-nerfed it)

They will not be missed. Ice Block is great. I feel like they could have done more though.

All quests will reward at least 50 gold, and the requirements on many of them have been changed to make them quicker to complete.

They are adding a tournament mode that allows you to create custom tournaments.

On the subject of teams such as the Blues being in an unexpected position, the Flyers are now in first place in the Metro.

Where have I been the last few weeks? I assumed they were fighting for a playoff spot.

Congrats David! I thought you still had that briefcase. This was the ending I was hoping for.

Eaed and Tom stopped putting it next to my name on the shows, so I assumed everyone had forgot about it. I made a point to tell XIII to continue to not bring it up as we moved closer to the cash-in because I wanted it to be as much of a surprise as possible.

It's part of the reason why I was trying to lose the Melee Mayhem title, and didn't want any other title shots heading into it. I wanted that final match, no strings attached.

I am the final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

I legitimately can't believe those words are true. If you had told me a few weeks ago that I'd be in the UCA hall of fame and winner of the final match, and final Undisputed Champion, I wouldn't have believed you. This is a story that doesn't make any sense, and yet here I am.

The final Undisputed Champion. I just want to say it again because I won't have another chance. This is everything I have ever asked for, and a dream come true.

I was content with having an Epopmania moment. I seen the shock of my fellow superstars and decided that was enough, that I was walking away from it all as content as I could be. The plan to cash-in had been thought of for months. I wasn't sure when I'd do it, but I knew it'd have to be at the final show.

I did it, and I won. For months now, through my gimmicks, and in my promos, I always held out that hope that I would reach this point, and here I am.

Wigs, thank you for the match of a lifetime, and a worthy send-off to this thing.

For the last time: I am the final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. I'm on top of the world.
