Well,

First off I wholeheartedly recommend doing like me and support the project by buying a license. It's not like it costs lands and forests for you. Good Guy JoyAdmin is providing the beta for free plus BotMaker pretty much developing SilverFish exclusively for HearthRanger, also as a totally free and open source artificial intelligence project. If you're to bot in HS, this is the place to be.

That said, I usually inspect the decks HR constructs for me with great curiosity and take them out for a test spin - but haven't taken it much further than that. I don't know what logic is applied when HR creates the decks and have thus ultimately reverted back to construct decks which esport professionals do. Just based on a hunch that constructing is a very fucking complex process and it's unfair to expect pro decks from HR, which you go for legendary with - just like that. I think the deck making in HR is more meant like a 'keys in hand' option for beginning users, to get every paying customer up and running as smoothly as possible.

Remember there are loads of other cool stuff regarding decks in HR. Like JoyAdmin adding the possibility to straight out import decks from those aforementioned pro sites, into your HR. Not bad. That you already can start hitting the ladder with.


Best,

I have like a 20% win rate with the decks made by the deck maker on unranked. So at the moment id say it is useless. However the decks it makes in arena are great. You also get to import decks now, so that might be worth paying for. I was really excited about the auto builder but at the moment it is sub par and because it gives everyone the same name for their new deck I'm scared to use it, when blizzards catches on this is gonna be a big red bot flag. It also seems to give the exact cards for the first deck with nearly any class, another big bot flag. If the cards were actually the best available not so much, but they arent the best, blizzard will realize hey all these botters are making decks with the same useless cards. Tag them, ban.

I love the bot and you should support it with some cash. However I cannot say anything good about the current auto builder.
