How to spot botting in Hearthstone


Lately there has been alot of talk redaring hearthstone bots and we want to clarify the situation for players to be able to identify other players using bots. An error in the artificial intelligence of opponents in Naxxramas ensures cheap victories at Blizzard's free card game Hearthstone. 2-Mana combining of the priest puts matt the bosses.

On youtube a video emerged yesterday, showing how you can outsmart the A.I.. the heroic bosses in Naxxramas with a cheap trick. The bosses are apparently so confused that they play any card at all and eventually die from exhaustion Mali. These get players like A.I.. Mali-opponents, if they must draw cards, but none have more in the deck. The player can avoid the disadvantages of exhaustion by he against heals itself in the meantime with the hero ability of the priest and certain cards to compensate for the HP advantage of some HC bosses. You start with 45 instead of 30 life points.

The simple trick works with a priest-deck. It takes only the 2-Mana card "Sunset advertisers", which then will be silenced with the 0-Mana spells "Silence". The "sunset heralds" would destroy all servants normally at the beginning of each turn. However this ability is negated by the silence. And not cope for any reason so few boss in Naxxramas.

The video is already hotly debated on reddit and it trying to make conclusions on the "artificial intelligence" of bosses in Naxxramas. One assumes, however, that Blizzard here soon will adjust, in order to put an end to the "cheap tricks" in Hearthstone.


In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday opened the health wing, the second phase of the expansion of Naxxramas. Ironically - was - known to start now, which would not work until then "cheapest trick", the map of Alexstraza, in the decisive third Boss Loatheb. They let the sake Lord Kel' Kel'Thuzad still proclaim: "this is the heroic mode. No cheap tricks allowed." Apparently knows Kel' Kel'Thuzad is still not the still sinking Herald combo.


Spoiler warning: Caution, the text contains instructions to bosses in Naxxramas heroic mode.
The second wing of the first extension to Hearthstone has opened since last night. The skills and values of the bosses are already known or at least as well known. Players and experts have devised therefore already certain strategies to give particularly nasty bosses without any problems out of the way. But Blizzard with thought and blocks cheap tricks.

The heroic bosses in Naxxramas have all significantly increased HP. They usually have 45 life points instead of only 30. That was particularly valuable in the first week of the legendary card Alexstraza, can put an opponent's HP on 15. She makes only a maximum 15 points of damage, "normal" opponents are already 30 in heroic mode. When it was announced that the bosses of the plague wing, the mushroom Monster Loatheb in heroic mode instead of 45 HP equal time would have 99, lit up the eyes of the experts of course: against the Alexstraza Yes 84 points would do damage! The rest would then no problem. The boss mechanics (annoying spores and so) you could simply ignore. How to spot botting in Hearthstone

Reportedly the polarizing "Internet personality" Athena on the Chinese Server extra be transferred, to first empty to clear the heroic in the diseases wing. And of course, he aimed to show it Loatheb HC with Alexstraza. But the voice Blizzard appeared in the form of the necromancer Kel' Kel'Thuzad and said: "this is the heroic mode. Here no cheap tricks are allowed." And so, the card, which is devoted to the aspect of life would fizzle. Alexstraza went away empty-handed, Athena looked a little like a wet poodle. Because this card is simply ineffective against Loatheb HC.

The DataMiner of Hearthpwn have found more such sound snippets and suspect that another secret card locks in the game. The four horsemen were very susceptible to some cards are one of the bosses of the next trick. Also here, it has probably made at Blizzard. Kel' Kel'Thuzad has at least more "so cheap, I can't but my friend" ready texts.
