If we can agree that Heroic Tavern Brawl is meant for a more competitive experience with the rewards and payout system, we can assume that Blizzard wants to encourage more competitive play other than ladder.

Shower thought: making the entrance fee high means only really good players will play it, which lowers the expected return even for good players and so discouraging them from participating.
I don't think really good players were ever interested just because of the reward. A new game mode that weeds out less skilled players is appealing by itself.
Yup. I make it to rank 5 at will, however, I'm pretty sure I'd be a fish in this event.
If the entrance fee was half as what it is, and the payouts slightly better - therefore attracting more people, I'd play the hell out of it.
Rank 5 just means you actually played ranked ladder this month doesn't show skill
Who thinks about hearthstone in the shower?
me ;)
But you'll never stop having to clean yourself of the filth that is this meta!
Shower question: Is rich = competitive? Is poor = Casual?
Or is there a large grey area?
If "poor" means you can't afford a top tier deck or the ability to make a meta call with a non top tier deck and lack all of the cards for any of those decks mentioned, then yes, poor means casual.
If you can't afford to be competitive because you can't afford the cards, you shouldn't be upset because ou aren't competitive.
If you don't like that, go play chess.
This isn't even a good shower thought. It's just objective truth.
he never said it was a good shower thought lol what do you expect this is r/hearthstone the land of the shitposts
Why not just limit it to players who have achieved legend and reduce the cost by half (but remove all prizes from low performances). It would make for a nice reward for legend players and make the pricing much more reasonable.
This mode was made to clear out people's gold before the next expansion.
This move for heroic Tavern Brawl, is for money grab only. The odds are so bad even for competitive players. They'll weed them selves out in the +7 win bracket.
Shower thought: they could still keep the high entrance few but boost the rewards to match it.
you think legend players need packs of cards?
Yes they do, I got legend but I can still only make 2-3 resonable decks and none of the control decks.
Rich person ple already have all old god cRds
I assumed they wanted a gold dump before the next expansion so F2P players have to actually spend cash
To be fair, I don't think f2p players were ever the target market for heroic tavern brawl. It's intended for the extremely competitive players and streamers who consistently hit legend and have expendable cash/gold. If nothing else, it's gonna be an awesome event for twitch viewers to watch.
Shower thought: This isn't a shower thought.
how do you know if op wasn't in the shower when typing this? are you stalking op? the world may never know.
