The worst thing about the game is not simply losing but the way you tend to lose. That has always been the crux of the bullshit and certainly the number one reason this thread is so enormous.
This is not a healthy game for anyone who likes balanced competition where you lose because either you fucked up or the other player is just better. The problem is its addictive.
The majority of losses in Hearthstone are so random and nonsensical, not a single reasonable person should ever claim any "tournament" win is a reflection of the player. Ever. There are just way too many cards that completely leave it to RNG. I hear so many comparisons to poker which is ridiculous. The RNG of poker is draw only. The RNG in Hearthstone is off the charts to the point where decision making has little effect. These discover cards sealed the deal for me and that's coming from someone who played control Paladin and was discovering Tirion constantly. Discover, Evolve, Devolve, etc. All of it completely makes the game a coin toss piece of shit. But the fanboys keep jerking off because "it's diverse". Uh huh.
It gets even more annoying when you have the secrets, the overvalued early drops, the copying, the stealing, etc. The only thing Blizzard did was nerf Cavers but by this point the hole is too deep in an RNG aggro mess. That was more apparent than ever when everyone realized most of the quests suck because you're dead before you play them.
There are just so many things wrong with the game on so many levels. I pray the competition of other card games keeps up and even someday buries this piece of trash.
I'll wait for the next expansion and see if the meta will slow down, if not, I'll highly consider moving to Wild since games there are a lot more fun than in standard nowdays.
Except Pirate Warriors, Aggro Druids and Murloc Paladins are there too to ruin your day.

No it isn't. It's the same people who are sick of seeing mirror matches of their netdecks in Standard.
This isn't in-game related, but it's something that (as a deckbuilder) makes me salty nonetheless. I can't stand it when people make a large quantity of fake accounts and use them to post BS comments and upvote their deck in an attempt to get it to the front page. Look at this guy for example:
He makes some miserable deck and then tricks people into upvoting it by having fake accounts claim strong win rates and high ranks. People are wasting dust and their ranks by assuming this deck is legit. Honestly, listen to what this guy writes about his own deck:
"What a genious. Insane deck"
"Nice deck, I'm going to use it to an important tournament because I'm sure that this deck has 100% winrate"
"This deck is so fucking amazing WTF, 100% win rate, I love this shit, It's a very strong deck"
"I just can say... F*CKING AMAZING!"
"Amazing deck thanks to Peperaso for this amazing decks. Actually 12-0 with this deck 100% and climbing up to get the rank 1 leyend."
"Such an amazing deck! Thank you for sharing!! atm 10-2 in rank 2 and climbing :D"
"Amazin deck, 14-1 for get legend in 1 HOUR!! Funny, strong and really really good. I love Peperasos decks, try to up more <3"
Like how can you actually become more of a conceited jerk than this guy? And it was actually working as he got a bunch of upvotes for nothing.
Someone please tell me how this isn't broken... I just played a Rogue who was playing 3-4 cards a turn, every turn, and yet he had 4-6 cards in his hand at the end of every turn. When you can continuously add cards to your hand while eliminating minions, and have a 5/3 plant that can't be removed from the board in any way... that's broken.
Two whelps? Yeah, that's a pretty nice downside to WINNING THE GAME.

Start of Year: Provoke the failure of 3 expansions, force nerfs on otherwise balanced cards, bring deckbuilding to an all-time low and get rotated one year earlier for being such a threat to the game's health. - Genn and Baku's historical entry on the White Book of Shit Design, shortly before retiring unpunished
Why does this game always reward shit players? Don't mind losing to good plays but when some netdecked mage cunt hits my face with Firelands Portal and summons a Doomguard but doesn't attack with him... go and fucking kill yourself
I can think of very few things I hate more than Hearthstone. I don't use the word 'hate' lightly. It's not in my every day vocabulary. The game is completely awful right now with no signs of getting better. The last good expansion/set was Old Gods and League of Explorers. Every set after that has been progressively worse. Team 5 has done what they set out to do - make all decks very close to 50% wr. The games you win are complete blowouts...the games you lose are complete blowouts, where it feels like nothing you could have done differently would have changed the result.
That's because it wouldn't have.
Hearthstone isn't about decision making anymore. It's about putting 30 cards with synergy into a deck and if you draw them in the right order, you probably win; draw them in the wrong order, you probably lose. None of the decks are interesting or fun to play/play against. Murlocs used to be a joke; you could stuff the Murloc package into any class now and probably have a positive wr. Mages that never die and don't have to play minions because the deck has 30 to 40 burn damage. Druids who don't ramp anymore because oddly enough, ramping up to 10 mana 5 turns is too slow.
And this shit isn't just in ladder, it has completely ruined casual as well. So much so that you cannot play anything interesting, if it isn't a top tier deck or featured on VS/TempoStorm. I only log in to do dailies but inevitably I leave the game feeling furious and pissed off because of all this crap. Hearthstone is not a fun game.
I have 5k gold saved up, I'm going to buy 50 packs from the new set and probably quit after that. If your takeaway from this is, "Well yeah if the game isn't fun for you anymore, you shouldn't play," you fucking missed it. Hearthstone is a bad game built entirely on luck. If you think the game is skill based, you're either too new/naive to know the reality of the game or you're just delusional and trying to justify all the time/money you've spent on the game.
I guess I can't really be salty since I won, but I coined out a fledgling on turn 2 against this guy, and he couldn't kill it the entire game. I adapted it by attacking his face SEVEN TIMES, AND NOT ONCE DID I GET WINDFURY OR +3 ATTACK!!! ITS BULLSHUT I TELL YOU!!!
FUCKING YOGG..... fuck this game. I played perfectly against a mage, there was no way that he could win, but his last card was Yogg, wich only gave him good spells... It gave him like 14 extra damage to deal.
Fuck HS, doesn't matter the decisions, you just need one fucking RNG card that can give you the game
Yesterday in Arena my Rogue opponent coined out Eviscerate to my face. In his turn two, he attacked me face while I had a Grimestreet Outfitter on board.
How come that those People are still alive? They should be too dump to breath ...
Everyone complaining about the Ladder being "only Aggro decks" is full of shit

I am Mal'Ganis! I am a TURTLE!!
speed, momentum, violence
Hey pirate warriors, did your parents give you AIDS or something?
I am Mal'Ganis! I am a TURTLE!!
Not in a salt rage but does anyone know if they will ever fix the mulligan system? chances are if I threw it away I definitely don't want it back lol
My opponent's vicious fledgling has rolled windfury first 13 times in a row. Can someone tell me the odds of this lmao.
LOL Nozdormu. I drew a Golden Legendary of that guy six months ago. Have NEVER played it.
This will be my last post in the salt thread.

I like to make cards and discuss game balance.
I enjoy when "No similar decks were found."
My latest deck: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1366184-scholomance-charge-rez-priest-wild
I certainly don't think Mage is the most cancerous class right now in HS, but it does symbolize everything that's wrong with the game.
Non interactive combo bullshit? Check
Insanely strong evergreen set? Check
Super bullshit OP RNG cards? Glyph doublechecks and reduces the check by 2 mana.
Why the fuck did Team5 nerf the shit out of traditional combodecks just to introduce open the gaygates? Why?
FUCKING YOGG..... fuck this game. I played perfectly against a mage, there was no way that he could win, but his last card was Yogg, wich only gave him good spells... It gave him like 14 extra damage to deal.
