Re: Hearthstone General - I heard there's a new expansion
WELP so far all seemingly "powercreeped out" cards were still defendable (i.e. class exclusives are supposed to be stronger) but this is over now

Re: Hearthstone General - I heard there's a new expansion
It doesn't matter because Magma Rager/BBB were shitballs and their powercreeped cousins are still shitballs. If you wanna complain about power creep, complain about Shredder obsoleting pretty much every other four-drop.
That aside, there really isn't anything in TGT that I'm excited for, and that makes me a little bit sad.

Re: Hearthstone General - I heard there's a new expansion
I wouldn't say I'm disappointed in the new cards by any means, but it's not super packed with deck staples like gvg was. TGT is to GVG as BRM is to Nax it seems. There are a couple cards I'd really like but maybe I'll get into that later
I'm disappointed in the lack of pirates and murlocs though
Also nobody will play Varian Wrynn, drawing three cards is awful!!!

Re: Hearthstone General - I heard there's a new expansion
What are the chances of being offered Rogue OR Warrior in Arena? I can't maths.
I don't play Arena and if I did I wouldn't pick either of those, I'm just curious.

The chances of getting offered at least one of the two classes you're looking for, out of three options in arena, is 58%.dr_kraid wrote:What are the chances of being offered Rogue OR Warrior in Arena? I can't maths.

Re: Hearthstone General - I heard there's a new expansion
58,33% is to get both or one whereas the chance of getting any class in arena is exactly 1/3. And that's assuming hearthstone doesn't rig the system.Ditocoaf wrote:The chances of getting offered at least one of the two classes you're looking for, out of three options in arena, is 58%.dr_kraid wrote:What are the chances of being offered Rogue OR Warrior in Arena?

I'm pretty sure that's what he was asking for? The chances of getting at least one of them. But yes, I rounded.Clamestarebla wrote:58,33% is to get both or one ...

Re: Hearthstone General - I heard there's a new expansion
Well yeah I know powercreep realistically began a long time ago and that it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but pretty much all cards still had at least a very niche deck or situation where they could shine compared to other ones (even with just a beast tag). Even War golem you could argue you could put 2 of them compared to dr.boom
Now it isn't the case anymore and I sad ;_;

There's a total of 504 ( 504=9(8(7))) ) different combinations of classes you can get and in what order. meaning there's 54 combinations per class. We can table that. For this example I'll calculate shaman.dr_kraid wrote:
How do you do it, by the way?
(Using numbers to save paper space):
The number on the far left determines what's the first class you get, the line after it determines the second and the final lines (read horizontally) determine the third class.
The line where you get shaman as your second choice means that all 7 other options in that line will be valid and the other 7 shamans that can be gotten as a third choice are also valid, so you get 14 shamans. Multiply that by 8 because it's gonna happen in all other classes (except shaman) and you'll get 112. Add 56 for the block in which you always get shaman first ( 56=7(8) ) and you get 168, which is 1/3 of 504. So that's how you calculate the odds for one class.
Now if you want to know how likely you are to get both or one of two classes, here's how it works, let's calculate rogue and warrior for this one:
Both lines where you get rogue or warrior as your second option get highlighted and all rogues and warriors spread throughout the block also get highlighted, leaving you with 26 valid combinations ( 26= 2(7)+2(6) ) multiplied by 7 other non-rogue/warrior classes. Blocks where you get warrior or rogue as your first option get highlighted, giving you 56 valid combination multiplied by 2. (294= 7(26)+ 2(56) ) so 294 combinations are valid. 294/504= 0.5833 so 58,33%
That's not my natural handwriting by the way, I used my pen tablet and writing on it is somewhat more difficult.

Re: Hearthstone General - I heard there's a new expansion
"or" usually means "and/or" in casual use. If you ask "are there paper towels or napkins in the house", you'd be happy if they have one or both.Clamestarebla wrote: OR
I did it like this: (2/9) + (7/9)*(2/8) + (7/9)*(6/8)*(2/7) = the answer, 0.58333.dr_kraid wrote:Are you sure there's not an easier way because jeepers
(The first part is "what are the chances the first option had what you're looking for", the second part is "what are the chances the first option doesn't have what you're looking for and the second one does", the third part is "what are the chances the first two didn't but this third one does". Add them together, zap.
It's really the same thing Clam did, it just maybe looks simpler.)
Re: Hearthstone General - I heard there's a new expansion
Yes.dr_kraid wrote:Are you sure there's not an easier way because jeepers
9 choose 3 = 9 * 8 * 7 / 6 = 84 distinct combinations of 9 classes
8 choose 2 = 8 * 7 / 2 = 28 possible combinations that contain Rogue
8 choose 2 = 8 * 7 / 2 = 28 possible combinations that contain Warrior
7 choose 1 = 7 possible combinations that contain both Rogue AND Warrior
28 + 28 - 7 = 49 distinct combinations that contain Rogue or Warrior (or both)
49 / 84 = 58.33%
also wow a lot of people stepped up to the plate for this one

I'm not gonna lie, I actually figured out how to do it last night, but I did 1-(7/9)*(6/8)*(5/7)

agreed, but maybe a little while after TGT. I mean, if we're dumped with a buttload of new stuff halfway through a tournament, that'd probably mess things up.Argumentable wrote:We should have another tournament

Re: Hearthstone General - Welcome to open beta
Welp, I guess Yesera was REALLY enjoying that dream of hers. That one, single, solitary dream.
Anyway; did that tournament ever end up happening? If not, maybe we could hold a proverbial throw-down after The League Of Explorers is fully out?

Re: Hearthstone General - Welcome to open beta
Yeah, it didn't happen yet. Gotta give League and then maybe the holidays a chance to blow over. I really wanna make a Reno Jackson deck but I don't wanna go Warlock or Warrior cause those are too easy. Almost tried Hunter, then more seriously Rogue but... I don't really know! I feel Rogue might end up being one of the better options though
