    Don't you think this game become more and more boring?

    Every Majiya is the same, Eternal Troll, Phoenix, Nova Nova Nova;
    Every Gravebone is the same, Falseblood Cultist, Forgotten Horror or Dakrath, Nova;
    Every Tala is the same, 2cc, Land Arthyle's Pass;
    Every Raikka is the same, Rotling, Barrenland Gremlin, Voracious Arachnid, Abomination Factory, Splicer's Crown, Land Rankett;
    Every Ythan Redthorn is the same, Vigilant Wisp, Entangled Wisp, Fortified Wisp, Thunderstrike Construct;
    Every Threbin is the same, Forgiveness, Devoted Knight, Scriptures of the righteous, Smite, Righteous Strike, Rod of Smiting, Madelain's Scepter, Tidal Wave
    Other heroes are not better than them, at most 2 or 3 playing method.

    I’m not sure I see your point in saying something like this days before new cards are released.

    Also, is this not something that every game faces between new releases?

    The new cards, 5 bans, and changes to some cards will alter quite a bit. Again, just seems like strange timing.

    It's alright. It is intentional that heroes' abilities favour specific strategies. That's why matchups exist. Since majority of opponents will not deviate heavily from the meta, the game rewards understanding the meta decks. It gives you the opportunity to make consequential choices from the very first sac. But this is based on a stereotype and there is a risk that it might not be what you expect in every match.
    The boredom you experience is true for most games if played extensively enough. But you can decide to look forward to new additions in the coming update. If its a form of burnout you are experiencing, a break might be a better option.
    The ability to steal opponent's cards are a favourite of mine due to their unpredictability which makes every match unique and unpredictable. Granted this usually occurs in late game and when the opponent is not dominating.

    If there was only 1 viable build for each hero, se would still be miles ahead of other games in meta diversity with 32 heroes. In other games you see the same 10 - 15 decks on ladder with about 5 of them way over represented. I have played over 500 matches this season and the decks are very much not all the same except on the high end of the ladder

    This is why we've tried to get LLP2 out as soon as possible after taking over management of the game in August. It's been more than 2 years since LLP1 came out and only 15 other cards came out in between until the surprise 13 Campaign cards we released last November.

    I'm sure some people will keep playing their favourite decks when 3.60 comes out but we expect to see many many new ones, based on what's already been seen on the Test Server!

    Most people just don't like to create something unique that's all. It's not boring at all though the decks you mentioned are not very popular now anyway. Homu raikka isn't even a thing now I created a raikka that is way more effective in the long run

    I play the same hero almost all the time (but change up the deck some almost daily)...and I don't find SE boring. But if I did, I could change heroes more. It's only boring if you let it be. Create some unique decks and have some fun.

    After the release of this new set I’m going to answer with a resounding no! Have not began theory crafting, have not even finished looking at all the cards... but my first impression is 10/10. Fantastic job on the new set to anyone and everyone who was involved.

    Dam I’m late to the party!
    But yes the new cards have truly shaken up the meta, new nerfs called for already but answers to those OP cards are already being figured out.

    It’s a new day here and I’m ver6 happy with the SE board and all the work they have done.
