Level 30 across the board!
I don't know if you've noticed, but nothing in this game means anything.
I guess we shouldn't talk at all about Hearthstone.
Grats for placing value on a rank system that currently offers zero reward, and is overrun with net-decking tools who all copy the same decks. What a blast. Let me go grind the fuck out of that

I'm not arguing the the top players have no skill at the game and don't deserve to be at the top. I'm saying that all the people who aren't good enough to push and evolve the meta on their own are able to just copy someone's deck. As a result, the majority of opponents are just running the same deck, and it's boring as shit. This is a PvP game, yet it comes across more scripted and repetitive than WoW.
Half the skill in this game comes from building a deck. If you're in the top ranks on someone else's deck; sorry, but you're garbage. That to me is an absolute forfeit of 'skill'. Go play a ladder like SC2 and see how far you can get by standing on somebody's shoulders. It seems to be pretty unique to TCGs, where average players can outsource most of the skill aspect of the game and compete at a level much higher than what they could achieve on their own and actually convince themselves that their skill got them there.
My only hope for constructed is that down the road, we'll have way more diversity in what gets played by the community. But I suspect even if you double or pear the card selection, the majority would still copy and play the #1 deck. Until then, I value Arena way more.
