Hearthpwn

There is obviously skill in HS

and the difference in poker is that you might get dealt a bad hand 3 rounds in a row but the RNG will even out in the hundreds of hands that are played throughout the tournament. In HS you only get 3~5 games, and with variance being that high, losing 3 games because of RNG is quite likely, I'm certain that over 100 games the better player will win more, but noone has time to play 100 games per tournament.

And also in poker you get to 'bet' what is on the line, you get a crap hand, you fold and mitigate your losses.

In Poker the player's skill matters more than randomness

I'm not saying that Hearthstone doesn't require skill at all, but you can't compare it with the level of talent and mental power required in Poker.

If a poker player can hit legend and perform well in HS, good for him. My point is that, no person can't deny that anyone with insane amounts of time (or someone who gets paid for it) is capable of hitting legend, but not everyone can win a Poker tournament, and that's where you're wrong, comparing HS to poker just both are heavily determined by randomness.
