I wish this was done in chronological order so each expansion would be put in context with what the state of the game was
Kripp doesn't really follow that formula that well. If it was based off of the impact it had on Hearthstone at the time of the release then both Witchwood, Boomsday, and Rumble would be rated way lower then they currently are. The fact Boomsday is rated S tier is downright laughable as a result.
i can tell you UnGoro was Ben Brodes last expansion i think. i dunno maybe Frost crown too. pretty much from kripps list everything listed below ungoro was older expansions. everything above are in the past 2 years or so
@@joncooper1145 Ben Brode' "s" last expansion was Rise of Shadows
I was thinking the exact same thing when scrolling down to the comment section
@@TheDerek14 you laugh at weird shit then, Boomsday still dominates the game a year later.
Kripp then: I get the whole hearthstone experience every expansion.
Kripp now: *BATTLEGROUNDS*
Boomsday rank S... All that vegan food finally getting to you Kripp?
Yea lol
I really don't see how that's possible
One word ..... mechathun
Zilliax is pretty decent in allot of wild decks and easily the most played card in standard. I would generally say a good judge is how good are the cards when in wild. But yeah, not on the same level as yogg, n'zoth ect.
*HE SIMPLY IS ACKNOWLEDGING MY POWER, FOOL.*
It was basically Witchwood with Ziliax at that time. Once Giggles got nerfed.
"K And C was the last expantion on the year so the high power level was kinda of expected"
Rastakhan crying in a corner...
KnC was also in the bonkers year with MSG, Ungoro, and KotFT all in standard at once. Witchwood and Boomsday were, overall, very low power. Like the Malygos Druid deck tearing up ladder used very few cards from Witchwood and Boomsday. I'm pretty sure it was JUST Ferocious Howl, Floop (sometimes), and Florist/Melon.
@@amethonys2798 I believe that Floop was included in every Malygos deck.
Amethonys What? Boomsdays is amazing. Still dominating the game a year later. Especially all those Mechs.
@@gunGrief Nope. Boomsday became popular after the rotation, mechs were pretty bad back then and the meta was just like Witchwood but with more Druids.
@@gunGrief oh i missed all those mech hunter and mech paladin decks a year ago. Sorry. Oh wait.....it was still druid and warlockstone....
The only deck that increased in power on boomsday release was the already strong malygos druid.
League of Explorers has to be AT LEAST at C-tier, just because it introduced the Discover mechanic.
You say that like discover is not the most cancerous mechanic in the entire game. Like, yeah, it is fun to watch a streamer get fucked by a discovered spell they literally had zero ability to play around, but playing against that yourself? Fuck that. Discover is the antithesis to skill and the antithesis to skilled gameplay. Just RNG bullshit. Nothing more.
That should give it an E tier lmao
hmmm, you are legit the first people I've encountered that don't like Discover (granted I'm not on hearthstone forums that often, so idk). In my opinion I feel infinitely worse when my opponent gets the right answer from a truly random card. You may feel like you just lost to RNG, but unless your opponent just isn't very good at the game, they will always choose the best options that is most relevant to their current situation. The power level of a discover card doesn't fluctuate anywhere near as much as a truly random card.
Any well designed game revolves around giving the player choices. Interesting decisions drive player engagement, and randomness inherently robs the player of choice. Randomness, however, can also create surprising and memorable moments, and gives a disadvantaged player hope so they don't immediately concede. An engaging game balances Skill and RNG.
There are many luck-based parts of the game that could be considered unfun. Truly random cards and effects (unstable portal, Yogg, etc.) feel bad to lose to. Losing to draw-RNG can be unfun, and can be amplified by certain archetypes (combo or OTK). Polarizing matchups is unfun RNG as well. I believe that discover perfectly walks the line between allowing for player choice and exciting randomness.
TL;DR Discover isn't anywhere near as oppressive as other forms of true RNG, and some randomness is healthy for the game.
@@TylerAlbers01 A lot of people don't like discover, even krip.
I love discover. It’s a neat thing that you really can only design in a digital card game. It also combines RNG with skill pretty effectively, and it helps games not be too same-y. Yes, some cards with discover have been OP (secret agent, coming through!), but that’s not really the mechanic’s fault.
Whispers was when i was introduced to HS and will forever be my favorite
Same
Same
Same
same
i started with i think blackrock?
but yea whispers war by far the best anything else is max C Tier in comparison
i still have PTSD from hearing: "who am I? non of your business"
"Truth is found in death"
My jaws that bite, my claws that catch
„Ready for action!”
@@BunnyOnASnuman Wait, i thought it was "My jaws that bite, my claws that catch, My jaws that bite, my claws that catch, My jaws that bite, my claws that catch, My jaws that bite, my claws that catch, My jaws that bite, my claws that catch, My jaws that bite, my claws that catch, My jaws that bite, my claws that catch, My jaws that bite, my claws that catch, My jaws that bite, my claws that catch"
"CHARGE FORWARD!"
"A FIGHT, COUNT ME IN!"
"MA BLADE BE THIRSTY!"
Journey to Un’goro is a solid S tier don’t @ me
So much fun. I loved every deck
@@magicmanscott40k Un'goro was fun, yes, but holy hell, orginal pre double nerf quest rouge was pure BS.
I never played un'goro so i cant comment
Truuuuuuue. Quest Druid was hella fun
@@hackerman7810 Yet you did
Excuse me? Rastakhan's is A? LoE is D? Boomsday is S? What in the world?
Yeah and i’d put Blackrock in B
Bagel I mean he’s right when you look at the expansions from a holistic level. He explained all the rankings pretty well.
@@peetakoutsos586 Reno S Tier waifu fuck you fight me
@@peetakoutsos586 Expansion that had Reno > everything
change my mind
Rastakhan was trash
Boomsday S???!??!? Are u f*cking kidding me???
I think it was an ok expansion, but in terms of the meta game i think it was one of the worst. Everyone played Genn / Baku / OTK decks. There were a few other hunters / mages trying to survive with the DK
Boomsday have a lot of fun cards ( especialy if you liked playing mech and deathrattles ), but on metagame lvl it was really bad. Druidstone, already oppersive in wichwood, was in full swing, with 50 mana-aviana turns, and psymelon, "draw your whole combo in one card" bullshit.
Don't forget that as an Arena player, the Arena meta probably justifies a lot of his reasoning. He did seem to enjoy Boomsday arena a lot.
Plus Puzzle Labs were really cool (albeit not very replayable), and they haven't done anything even remotely similar up to now. I'm surprised more people don't talk about them in the history of Hearthstone.
It was fuckiing worst expansion in a long while
I mean, once you got rid of Genn and Baku, the expansion has some awesome cards
Krip: League of Explorers is bad
hearthstone: LEAGUE OF EXPLORERS ROUND TWO LETS GO.
LoE was amazing, my second favorite expansion ever, simply because bran and Elise
@@TimoCruz177 yeah I like the fact that Elise made control match ups so fun, I also feel that justicar from TGT made old school control warrior much more fun to play than current control warrior.
@@crannbethadh2352 literally this, this a thousand times
@@TimoCruz177 If you like the expansion because of few legendaries in it, that's a sign of bad expansion. Good expansion has all cards overall playable while none being cancerously OP for ranked experience.
Also how is fun playing against Reno deck with some aggro, knowing they can heal 25 HP at any moment with a single card you can't play around or prepare for is bullshit on it's own. Cards like that are just pure luck if you draw them in time. How skillful it is to draw your Reno on turn 6 when aggro is about to end you and you win the game because of a single card. That's just terrible card design.
@@Laireso LOE was a small expansion 45 card, so maybe you just remember the reno jackson cause yeah there was not a lot of card but that was also the introduction of discover mechanic and all of them were well balance and cool to play, reno fade out of standard while discover become a classic mechanic of hearthstone, also you had some really cool card like forgotten torch, explorer hat, brann etc.
I can’t believe how everyone stole your Kripp List and changed it’s name into Tier Lists.
Plant sassin here probably got it from zootierlist
Rastakhans rumble might be the most forgettable expansion
The song used in the trailer was a banger though.
Great song, good arena, the most useless cards since the grand tournament
The entire Raven year had to suffer cause of Gen and Baku...
NONE WILL SURVIVE
and K&C and FT
Druid too and very bad cards due to unnecessary high cost cards
Witchwood had Spectral Cutlass, and it makes Tesspionage actually fun to play. But Genn and Baku made everyone despise the entire expansion. And it sucks because that was my favorite expansion flavor-wise.
And death stalker rexxar
I joined during the Old Gods. The best expansion!
Also Un'goro is pretty good.
Same there ^^
Same here, dude. I kinda miss these two since I am not playing wild at all :(
Classic was the good shit man
Old gods and ungoro were my favorites
I joined during Old Gods too, and think Un'goro is underrated (bless your soul tar creeper). I know I'll get hate for this, but I get the biggest nostalgia boner for MSoG because I think tri-class cards were a great concept and Kazakus was just terribly fun. Not saying there weren't some terribly oppressive decks.
9:00 Vegan food has eroded Kripp's memory. Standard rotation was introduced to Arena in March 2017, almost a full year after it came to Standard
Lol Kripp is vegan?
@@RanwulfMaxwell you didnt know?
@@stefanbroers8146 I follow him, but not as much. I came here mostly to be judgy of expansions.
@@RanwulfMaxwell He is vegan because of some health issues. But yeah, he is crazy drunk vegan romanian salt boi.
@@umutoruc832 and we love him for that
Would like to see Trump's take on this.
No, not the gamer, the president.
Probably would have Boomsdsy Project at S tier because it has the word ‘Boom’ in it.
Today's fact: When watermelons are grilled or baked, they lose their granular texture and can even be used as meat substitute, a 'watermelon steak'.
*chuckles in veganism*
huh neet
VEGANG RISE UP
Wouldn't using it as a meat substitute be an opinion rather than a fact?
Username checks out
2:02
Karazhan had worst impact but definitely set the standard for promotional songs.
Bitch please... Savours of uldum!! 80's Synthwave Knight Rider, Holdin' out for a hero extravaganza... they peaked hard with that one..
I loved the vibe of the Karazhan song, but both Karazhan and Uldum had the worst Hearthstone songs IMO
@@magisterofsteam7880 *Gaaaaasp* Bonnie Tyler would be ashamed xD
@@magisterofsteam7880 So what is your fav song (If you have one)
@@mostdysfunctionalfamily2725 I love them all, but my fav would be League of Explorers.
I absolutely agree with WOG belonging in S tier, but LOE does too :c
RenoLock is, and will forever be my favourite deck.
I don't know what kind of crack Kripp was on when he made this list. League at D tier because it had tunnel trogg, yet Whispers in S tier despite giving Shaman the broken card that boosted it to God tier, then nerfing all its counters which resulted in ridiculous 40-50% play rates and no reliable counters? Wtf?
Adventure expansions, imo, deserve a higher spot just for the virtue of being adventures: cheaper, had single player content, and almost all card were playable because there was no need for pack fillers
Renolock and Razakus Priest are my two favorite decks ever. Playing singleton control/combo is way too fun to pass up.
Pffft WOG just has the same effect as naxx does where it was a format first. Otherwise it's still pretty good but an A at most
@@Jonseredi For me it was the aesthetics and the power level that made it interesting. Besides Aggro Shaman nothing felt too oppressive.
@@exantiuse497 Well if you view it based on how Kripp played, yeah, his list makes sense. I imagine he was traumatized in Arena against shamans with Tunnel Trog openers and whatnot. Also it wasn't until last year I believe he stopped dropping more than $1000 on packs. The economy side of the game is a non-factor for him.
Also memory is faulty. Kripp is remembering his emotional state during these expansions more than the details itself. For example, he loved talking up GvG, but looking back on it, I can only name 1 GvG card. If hes going off the top of his head for this stuff, he's going to misremember.
Like he mentions problem cards in Blackrock Mountain Expansion. What were the problem cards from that expansion? If you're okay with Grim Patron, then what was the problem? Flamewaker comes close to its RNG nature, but it was no worse than Knife Juggler. There were a lot of dragon cards. I really have no idea what "problem cards" hes talking about.
I swear to God I want a 24 hour long ranking the legendaries vid
Milhouse best one
PRAISE YOGG. PRAISE C'THUN. PRAISE N'ZOTH. don't praise Y'shaarj because rez priest.
Coin Barnes YShaarj YShaarj makes me suicidal
League of Explorers was the best expansion
Change My Mind
Matthew Watson it really was the best personally for me it had the funnest cards out of any expansion
Based on the teaser, you might be happy about the next expansion then. :V
Everyone talking about the expansion they joined HS and praising it to the moon and back
> I joined during TGT :(
me too. naxx, blackrock, GVG, and TGT were the expansions when I started playing.
Me too kid. Me too.
@@Danzilla1996 same
When you put LoE in D I seriously thought you were joking until the moment you moved on to Kobolds.
Actually, no. I thought it until the video ended. To be honest, I‘m still thinking it.
LoE was game dividing and full of frustrating cards. Seriously, was Finley good for aggro? Was Reno healthy for control? What about Brann being way too easy to break? Torch was silly, Naga broke wild, Pillager was way too good in Rogue and so on. Also, fucking Trogg, the strongest one drop of all time.
It isn't very good tbh
Alexander Ying K&C might have been impactful, but that’s not the same as good. It was a big part of Raven cards not getting much use.
Eric Schwenke I think you got my comment wrong :3
@@SomersBugtopia Also flamewaker
My memory is E-tier. It's hard to remember so many of these expansions. The last 8 are basically blurred together.
Same, I’ve played since beta so I’ve experienced every expansion but I can’t remember the game state/meta for each expansion. I just remember:
- Naxxramus was super hyped since it was the first expansion and we had been used to the classic set for a long time. The cards from Naxx were collectively some of the highest power level cards released.
- League of Explorers introduced Brann Bronzebeard and Reno Jackson, 2 of my favorite cards in the game
- Mean Streets had the awesome tri-class cards and introduced Jades (Jade Druids we’re boring and oppressive but Midrange Jade Shaman was one of my favorite decks to play)
- Goblins vs Gnomes introduced Dungeon Run which renewed my love for the game and was super fun and replayable.
- Knights of the Frozen Throne introduced Death Knight cards which really shook up the game and breathed new life into the game
I don't think it's your memory, it's just that Kripp plays this game WAY too much
Everything after WOG is a blur
Same except i remember odd decks being instant concede decks.
Wild is like that alcoholic uncle your parents warn you about
Nope wild is fun except big priest :d
Wild is great. At least you won’t see p2w fucks like you see in Standard and people who play gimmicky decks.
but you like him because he's fun and doesn't keep annoying you all the time about things you shouldn't do.
Wild Format is the best format and currently the only way I find myself enjoying hearthstone. It's just too expansive to keep up with HS's standard meta.
Oh hell no, you didn't just put LoE in D tier. I would have accepted A over S, but D? Da Fuq?
His reasoning is understandable. I mean, tunnel trogg was a nightmare for me as a new player at the time. I near quit after playing six midrange shamans in a row lol.
It’s nowhere near A or S. I agree it’s not D either though, probably a B-
Definitely a B. There were so many good cards. The only expansion I actually fully farmed for because all the legendaries had play.
Yeah, he put it in D and placed boomsday in A. Weird choice, but he put old gods in S so I can’t complain that much I guess.
Edit: he actually put boomsday in S the mad man
Just because of discover , it deserves D
Discover ruined the game
Cool format! Agree with most of your choices except for league of explorers. It deserves a C or even a B imo.
Rise of Shadows > Frozen Throne ? Sir, couldn't disagree more
RoS has a much better balance than FT did..
I agree with kripp 100
Yea frozen throne has some bad cards, but the great ones were _just a_ *_bit_* powerful.
I'm sorry but Jaina and UI were way too broken imo
shout out to grand tournament for introducing the improved hero power, which I think was one of the things that made a lot of solo content really fun, and has even influenced new cards. Also I would've put frozen throne even higher, I personally just had tons of fun that expansion. Fighting the lich king over and over to get Arthas was... REALLY satisfying.
I started to play hearthstone between whispers and league and boy I loved whispers of the old gods so much
I miss the Reno/n’zoth meta...
@@cheeto6057 I miss warrior c'thun that was my favorite deck in that meta
Kiowa Harrell renolock was so much fun
I too missed secret pally
whispers of the old gods was the only one I wanted to see it was just... beautiful.
Ow yes, I still remember the times of C'thun and all the kripp video's, so many fun times.
Can you give ranks to legendary cards Krip :^3
Yeah he should make like a 4 hour long vid ranking all 301 legendaries in the game
Solem did this check his you tube
@@SettTopsMe I don't see any problem.
Un' Goro : places B
Tar creeper cries in +2 attack
No mention of the shudderwock!? Witchwood deserves to drop a tier just for that blunder alone.
you right. shit is fucking annoying as fuck. its a win card that just made me quit. you will waste fucking minutes for that shit to finish
Witchwood was my favorite cuz that's when I learned druid was my favorite class. Lots of fun crazy matches during witchwood. Good memorys
nah shudderwock was a minute tops. I think your thinking of the 5th or 6th shudderwock that would last all day. Good old play 10 shudderwocks in 1 turn.
WOTG is the single best expansion ever - best theme, best meta, C'THUN. I still keep golden C'Thun in 2019 although i dont have many cards and spare dust, yep.
I agree, but Aggro shaman was the best deck at the time and I feel like most people just ignore that when thinking back.
@@henryzelman4541 Tbf though, from what I understand (I wasn't around at the time) Aggro Shaman really took off the expansions afterwards, with even more cancerous versions, first with Patches and Pirates, and then with stuff like Spirit Claws. So in comparison (though I see where you're coming from), I think people really hated the class more afterwards.
Funny to think that agro shaman was nerfed in late WoToG only to transform itself into even more powerfull ( tho at least less anoying ) mid-range shaman.
Wow I’m surprised so many people agree on this. I just hated Old Gods meta and almost quitted the game because of it... Cthun was pain, Yogg turned the game into flipping coins, Nzoth was even worse pain and I hated shaman (but that works fot every shaman ever so no matter 🤣🤣) At least you had a good time
I love this type of content!
1. Undertaker Hunter
2. Raza Priest (pre-Raza nerf)
3. Jade Druid
4. Secret Paladin
5. Cube Lock
6. Midrange Shaman (ONIK Meta aka ‘Shamanstone’)
7. Pirate Warrior
I’m sure I’m alone here but Cube lock was personally my least favorite followed by Jade Druid
I liked old gods, League of explorers and Un'goro the most I think
Yup, the same
Also WotOG gave us our lord and savior Yogg-Saron.
Dang I liked LOE and KOTFT. Thought they would be A tier (potentially S Tier).
Every hearthstone card ever tier list
5000 hour video
Move Boomsday down to a and rastakan to b, then this would be pretty good 👌
GvG will always be at the top for me, since it was the new expansion when I started. Also helped me get a golden mage hero (RIP MECH MAGE)
Same for me, that's why I ONLY play wild, because I am nostalgic dude :p
Same for me, started in early 2015, that's because i started that early that I only play wild exclusively (nostalgic dude :p)
Everyone's opinion is wrong. The correct tier list is flipped around since the expansions that made Kripp the saltiest were the best.
Years rated
1: year of the kraken
2:classic
3: year of the mammoth
4: year of the raven
Year of the dragon seems to be pretty good already I’m guessing it’s gonna be better than classic
Year of the kraken was so bad. If the expansions after old gods didn’t exist then I will agree with you.
the madman ranked league of explorers rank D....
No mention of discover, the best expansion mechanic ever, in league of explorers?
a fine list that I can agree on most aspects to... but....
how dare you play my boy Reno so dirty and put LoE in D???
Tier list for Hearthstone? lol
For me ungoro, koft, wotg, and RoS are the best expansions
Ungoro is really up there that was such a good expansion. Stonehill defender and the little Tar dude are sorely missed.
@@tobiasL1991 Firefly :3
@@abrakadaniel5908 Ow yeah another good one.
A fair and fun one drop.
Talking about LoE, how come this guy mentions brann and reno, but not Elise ? Golden Monkey was one of the most fun mechanics in the whole game, how can u leave it out lol...
because it sucked, was near impossible to pull off, once pulled off generally gave you unplayable legendaries and was hardly played at all. maybe that's why.
I would enjoy a tier list of all the legendary cards up to date with the ranking of how good they were at their time of release and how good they are nowadays. Would take a hell of a long time to make but I'd watch it :)
Ragnaros and Sylvanas were the best legendaries.
@@kimichiii875 I feel like in classic the most impactful card (provided no polymorphs/silences instantly afterwards) was Tirion; the feeling of a well timed "Put your faith in the light" to see an aggro deck conceding was the best
@@velerios9552 Rag and Sylvanus literally had to be Hall of Famed dude
Just thinking i play Hearthstone since before nax. Very good game just hard to have good decks so i play adventures arena and brawls
Just be good in Arena 4Head. Seriously though, been playing since pre-Nax as well and have most cards by averaging 7 wins each Arena run.
Mrzanetti100 You know, you dont have to be a dick about it
same
Mrzanetti100 Arena rewards are crap. 3 wins is average, But you have to get at least 7 to not lose money from arena. My average is around 6 wins I think, but I feel like I’m slowly losing money from arena. The only upside is that I have opened a lot of packs as a free to play player
Same bro
Love the format !
Do another with Classic Legendaries
:( i loved the grand tournament, so many fun decks and that was really the part of my play where i made crazy stupid but very fun decks... The game also lacked a lot of the gards nowadays so you could get away with playing bad but fun decks still... Never play arena though so no idea there
The most P2W expansions.
S: Knights, mean streets
A: GvG
B: Shadows, rumble, KoC
C: ungoro, boomsday, TGT
D: Old gods
E: all the adventure expansions.
Facts
Mean Streets by far. So many high-power legendaries *looks at Kazakus Priest*
"Who am I? None of your business"
"Bring out your dead"
"Charge forward!.... A fight count me in... My blade be thirsty... Everyone get in here, everyone get in here, everyone get in here, everyone get in here"
"Troggs rule"
"We're gonna be rich"
If you remember any of these from back in the day you're an OG.
Too much hate to adventures, can't really complain about them being easy, of course they easy when you have every card from every previous expansion
Exactly. I was a noob when Naxrammas came out and it was very challenging. Kripp had all the good cards at that time.
KoFT was the best expansion. Everything is balanced when everyone is OP
It was pretty good during that expansion. Only problem was it took a year and a half to recover from the insane power creep.
Boomsday S tier?
Rumble A tier?
Loe D tier?
How much did team give pay you to up the latest expansions 🙄
You misspelled "Your opinion does not match mine, therefore you're wrong. No need to argue more."
How the fuck is Kobolds and Catacombs A tier?!? That pile of garbage was one of the worst expansions Hearthstone's ever seen! Looking at you, Karazhan. Never again.
Ungoro, knights of the frozen throne, and kobolds and catacombs was the best time in hearthstone IMO
Cameron Carper, I agree, we were saved from the jades and Patches apocalypse.
@@Shooshawali they couldve nerfed jade druid or completely delete it like they did to genn and Baku. Patches is honestly just a 1/1 with charge that comes out for free IF you play a pirate. It wasnt game deciding. Patches was fine.
Rise of shadow is honestly dog shit expansion. I used to play hearthstone everyday during KotFT playing a frost lick deck that’s not even B Tier but it was fun and got to rank 3. Now withrise of shadow its mage warrior and rouge that will win and warrior have so many fucking clears that you might as well concede before turn 1
Hol up. Grim patrons get a c? Boi.
Edit: should be S
Yeah, seeing BM at C rank is kinda sad. But let's be honest here it's not S tier either. WOTG's rank has to be SS then BM can be S.
Grim Patron deck was so annoying but great at the same time. A strong deck where you actually have to be skilled instead of a being weeb.
Didn't even mention Barnes when talking about One night in Karazhan XD. Barnes Y'Sjaarj decks are just stupid.
HA HA! league of explorers EXPANSION is coming back
my tier list
S: Un'goro, Whispers
A: Ratakhan's, League of Explorers, Rise of Shadows
B: Knight's, Classic, Blackrock
C: Boomsday, Gadgetzan, Kobolds
D: Naxx, Karazhan, GvG
F: Grand Tournament, Witchwood
Had to look through your tier list because I thought you forgot Mean Streets of Gadgetzan because it wasn't in F tier.
Haven't watched Kripp in years but I had to see this one.
Exactly! I also was playing since closed beta, till mid season of whispers of old gods and played after that just a tiny bit. This video tho for veterans is must see I guess :D
Un'Goro was amazing I think
LOE remake inc( probably)
Feelsgoodman
I hope they create a vanilla Hearthstone server we can play. I did not get to play until after the first expansion.
It was great aspecially due to having basically no meta as no one knew how to play the game
Missing that "random play" moments like blessing of kings + blessed champion a raging worgen
I don't think it would work nowadays tho, without the "new game" factor
Ungoro was by far the best expancion this game had so far
Definitely have to agree here. It came right after the shitty Gadgetzan meta, which in my opinion was one of the worst we've seen. Sure, pirates and quest rogues may have been a problem, but i think almost every class was represented somehow in the Ungoro meta and quests were fun af. Even decks without legendaries were viable, like midrange hunter and zoo warlock.
Good for f2p, good for most classes, and 100% better than the jade/pirate meta that came before it. Tar creeper, stonehill defender, primordial drake, and other neutral cards were great too. Ungoro definitely has to be my favorite.
My lIst:
S: Kobolds, Old Gods
A: Ungoro, Frozen Throne, Explorers
B: Rise of Shadows, Gadgetzan, Witchwood
C: Rastakhan, Classic, GvG
D: Boomsday, Blackrock, Nax
E: Tournament, Karazhan
Year of the mammoth was the best year on average imo
Best list for me too, I would put Rise of Shadow A, LoE S (I'm a Wild player so biased), and Grand Tournament F (yes, it's that fucking bad, Karazhan at least provided an adventure and playable cards).
19:59 Come on now Kripp. We all know Well of Eternity and Ilidan story arc is the best.
Rise of Shadows 100% deserves S tier. Great well balanced set, flavorful theme, best single player mode yet, actual *buffs* for the first time ever, time just flew by with this set as opposed a majority of the other sets.
@@dummiesaywhat Its called opinions
Can't give RoS S tier at least for braindead mage decks, but for PVE content and theme it deserves A tier imo
Theme for RoS is alright. The heist is good though. Rise of Shadows is the most boring name you can come up with. Blizzard Activision just came
up with the name in 3 seconds.
@@Amandor2011 Yeah there are always going to be major misses in any expansion and conjurer's just seems like a huge misstep (just look at what they said about mage's weakness) However Mage isn't completely unstoppable killing off all diversity so I think Shadows still deserves S. Think of it like this, for every Un'Goro there is a quest Rogue
Meanwile on UA-cam:
Let's give Kripp russian subtitles
I´m sad that I missed OLD GODS :(
Overpowered cards that demolished the meta tier list.
Knights of the Frozen Throne was actually Insane. The Lore, the Singleplayer, the fuckinggggg legendaries. Everything was Insane man
I wasn’t playing HS when Frozen Throne came out (more important things like exams were in the way) and I remember everyone during WOTOG wanted a Lich King themed expansion.
Hearthstone is F tier
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is S tier
For me though, Rastakhan is the worst expansion, and Un'goro and Rise of Shadows are the best.
They actually removed the "heroes of warcraft" after the introduction of Morgl the Oracle lol
Rastakhan is in no world the worst, it's actually trying and lowered the power level.
Sweaty Woman I can't put my finger on exactly why I don't like it. I stopped playing for a while, and even with 2 balance patches the meta felt really stale the whole expansion.
@@milos1967 It's not explosive and OP, that's why. Seriously, people just wanted more bullshit so a boring expansion bothered people. Don't blame you for leaving though.
I feel that it's kinda tough to rank the expansions themselves, because what makes of breaks an expansion is the synergy with other standard legal ones. So it would make more sense to rank the metas between the launch of two expansions. You shouldntry that in the future, Kripp.
I would have stopped watching this video on the spot if you didn't put The Grand Tournament in the E tier. Lol what a garbage expansion.
E tier is the one where absolutely everyone agrees, these 3 expansions were true cancer for the game
I cannot believe Knights isn't S tier and Boomsday is. It was phenomenal. From death Knights to single player adventure. Pure Gold that expansion was. It is your list and of course we like different things, but i was surprised knights only got a B . I would also give Explorers an A.
Rank all the Kripp-based novelty accounts lmao
RaniasBloodyTampon should at least win the silver.
LoE is S tier. Except for Rafaam, all other legendaries saw competitive play. Reno really punished mindless face hunters back then and had a very interesting "no-repeat" theme on the card. It was a nice theme, and it deserves S tier.
By the way, standard ARENA didn't start during WOG, but after. Standard constructed started first.
if you were watching kripp at the time he openly stated how much he hated reno after running into a bunch of them in constructed precisely because of the one-off mechanic. There was too much variation in decks (lol) to the point that counter play was very hard when you would have to play around 30 different cards instead of a more concentrated list with two-offs. It's one of those things that you had to be there in order to understand how toxic it could be.
I personally was ok with the expansion outside of reno since I'm a shaman main and mid-range shaman was king during that expac :P
@@KhaPha Shaman was good thanks to Tunnel Trogg but it became the King of the ladder only with WoTOG, and it didn't bother me much because i was a Shaman main too and Shaman sucked ass before LoE, it wasn't even considered a class lmao
My personal S tier would be:
1. Knights of the Frozen Throne
2. Naxxramus
3. Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
Rastakans above ungoro...... I'm disappointed
Also boomsday in s the only good card in that expansion was mechathun .... your too biased towards arena
League of explolers deserves at least a
I've enjoyed constructed only at LoE and Ungoro. Rest, not so much.
Gadgetzan was terrible for constructed, but really fun for arena.
Kobold and Catacombs was mediocre, but PvE mode was fantastic.
Naxxramas was just theme wise such an amazing expansion imo, loved the pve, loved the art of the cards. I just enjoy playing random decks with cool minions,.
Great Content!! love these kind of videos, any type of ranking ones!
Witchwood was The expansion that made me loose interest in hearthstone and it was all thanks to shudderwok, that card broke The game and yes it got nerfed but The damage had already been done. Also magic arena came out during that time so it was a good time too move on, still play hearthstone from time to time but in small doses
the fortnite expansion will be SS tier
i disagree with LoE .
it brings a bunch of new mechanics, fixed problems from TGT, giving us counterplay for toxic decks like secret paladin and it showed up the reno jacksons decks which generated a huge variety of decks.
Grand tourney was my favorite expansion because of control warrior lol
Can you rank All playable heroes?
I think the list of my favorite hearthstone cards is literally just the list of cards from league of explorers but without tunnel trogg.
Do the Vegan Food Tier List.
Ungoro not S because of meteor
