Is this game balanced?

[Isiforo.s]

I've played a lot of harthstone and this one here seems pretty cool so far however, the online matches are a bit weird. I've jumped right into the online random matches but everyone but me seems to have pretty much high ranked top notch cards. Isn't this balanced?. It doesn't look really fair to me.

Im not sure what do you mean by balanced. Its not perfect, but balance is definitely better than HS. There's not dead classes like paladin or hunter and no shaman scale problems.

Also this is not casual game really, you're given a lot of free gold and packs at the start for a good reason. Thus everyone to be expected to have at least one top notch deck from the start. Whatever people on lower ranks can play them properly is another matter.

I think you dont understand what balance means. But i will give you advice.
Open all free packs you got.
Play story first so you know what are all classes about. + you get nice rewards (rupies(gold) arena tickets etc)
Play against Elite and Elite 2 AI to get A LOT more rupies.
Play against 20 different people in private matches.
Now you should have a lot of cards.
Shadowverse has very friendly business model, so even you who just started playing, can get sick cards right from the start. (you can also re-roll(on steam its a little bit more complicated https://shadowverse.gamepress.gg/rerolling-guide )

Idk how much you know about card games but one of the main differences between Hearhtsone and Shadowverse is RNG. Here you cant rely on 3 drop that will discover you legendary auto win game. Here your deck has to have some idea or "soul" . So at first it might be hard to create own deck that works. Or just play budget decks at first.

You need only 3 wins to get out from the beginner rank, and cannot derank yourself in anyway.
Being said, you will mostly be matched up with someone above you unless there's more beginner ranks playing at the same time.

The meta is balanced but match marching and ranking system is very questionable.

I've already buld some decks but maybe I'm playing just the wrong class I'll try and find it out lets see how it goes :P.

@Iam Just Fat Panda

Thanks a bunch! your post was very helpful. I've played Magic (the original and PC version) and Hearthstone. I've also tried a few other titles but they were totally boring well, except this one.

As always people follow a meta aka broken decks, so if you play netdecks you'll be fine.. if not then no it's not balanced, since there's a few cards that are busted in general. If you mean access to cards then this game is very generous.

Complaining after 3h is not enough, try harder.

I don't really get what you mean with broken and netdecks, does netdeck mean something you can download from the internet?.

Basically, it's a deck that someone copies from another person on the net. It's usually copied many times by many people.. and is usually very strong. People who copy netdecks only care about winning and not about creating their own decks. See Daria, Roach, or Dshift.

No, some shadowcraft cards are op, and I've lost over 3,000 score in a row going up against havencraft seraphs, which give the user the victory over those who don't own any cards to defeat amulets/countdowns, which is complete bs

It's hard to answer this question for lower ranks, but at master the game is pretty balanced at the moment as far as winrates for all the classes and usage numbers for each class. Sword is at the top for overall winrate but the top performing deck still belongs to forest. Dragon is the worst but even that's getting better. Dariacraft is still broken but it's inconsistent enough that it's not the plague that forest used to be. Learn the game slowly and watch master rank players streams/videos for whichever class you want to play and you'll be fine.

No it is not balanced currently. Sword has 2 deck with over a 55% win rate at Master rank, which is higher than OTK Roach or Tempo Rune was. Aggro sword is one of them, and its only counter is Midrange sword. Midrange sword has no counter.

Sword has been broken for a long time if you go by the numbers. People tend to go by feelings and so complain about weak decks like Dshift, but in reality sword has been dominant since this game started. Always having at least one top tier deck.

Pretty much play sword or handicap yourself.

Are you going to whine about Swordcraft in every single thread on the forum?
