I remember 2 years ago when a new addon launched, there were new decks all over the front page of hearthpwn with at least 200 up to 800 points just 2 days after launch. Now we have 1 deck with 200 votes and the rest around 100 points? What has happened since then? I can't imagine the decks are so much worse than two years ago. Has hearthpwn lost popularity? Is there a new go-to side for hearthstone? Or has the hearthstone community as a whole lost so many users?
I can not answer why there are not that many decks and why they aren't as voted as before but honestly i am afraid that this game is going to die within a few years.
The reason why I think so is that the game is just awful friendly to new players. I mean even for me it was tough. I stopped playing hs before frozen throne and i decided to come back approx. 2 months before expansion. I have more or less every classic cards and I couldn't normally compete in the standard mode (I was only able to craft odd paladin). Sure is easy deck to play and climb on the ladder but it's too boring to play the same deck all the time. So i moved to wild, where i could still build some nice dragon deck or sth. The point is that a newbie can not just hide in the wild, because he would get crushed even harder there.
Even now when I preordered 80 packs + buy some with gold and had an enormous amount of luck (11 legendaries out of 105 packs) I won't be able to play all the tier 1/2 decks because lack of other cards. I could buy more packs with gold but i decided to just play 3 decks all the time and struggle a little until the new expansion comes.
Why there is no adventures like Naxxramas or Blackrock anymore? Even new players were able to get all the cards needed in the reasonable amount of time with gold purchases. Blizzard just became too greedy and that will surely ruin the game.
Ranked system is also stupid. When i was quickly climbing the ladder there were plenty of players with legend card backs, expensive decks and all that started on ranks like 24-23. At least give them Whizzbang for free for god sake.

The game has been dying since Beta according to the forum fools.
Yes, which is perfectly reasonable and understandable for a 4 year old video game. Most video games have a 1 to 2 year shelf life, assuming they got off the ground at all.
I'm still having fun. Presumably you're still having fun. Queue times are still good. So I do not see any causes for concern.

I'm actually pretty surprised at how many people come to this site with no account (the guests). Without an account, you can't upvote, comment, or deckbuild. That's honestly the main appeal of this site to me. If they wanted the best meta decks, hsreplay is better for that. I guess unless they're looking for meme decks and homebrews, which this website has tons of (thank goodness!)
including Hearthstone, who earned 201 million dollars, Now you may think that is pretty good, right? yeah it is, comparing to other games, but comparing to Hearthstone earnings in 2016, game earned less than half that amount. In 2016 game earned 406 million dollars.

There are many popular websites out there or reddit section, discord. Perhaps the community shares and discusses decks and ideas on other plattforms more.

1. Upvotes?..who cares about that crap
2. The Hearthpwn deckbuilder is the slowest and worst out there. Its feels like its programmer was a potato.
3.Salt...this site is way too salty and the mods only encourage it.
If it wasnt for the news on the front page I personally would never be here, the user base are complete babies and the admins only care about pageviews. The site is shit...oh and dont get me started on mandatory twitch merging.
Having an account to brag about anything and even about mods that are really good is kinda good too right? ;) You don't even need the account if you are here only for news on the frontpage.

Have some nice pack-opening-luck.

I never remember the front page full of 800+ voted decks.

not full of 800+ decks but at least some or 1 in that range and a lot more than 300+ than right now or last 2 add-ons.

I don't think that ugly $80 hero skin will help Blizzard to increase earnings this year.
One day this game will stop existing. I can't wait.
It just means less people vote on decks now, and maybe that the competition between netdecking sites is stiffer.
As mentioned, heartpwn still has more traffic than ever, so please don't paint the devil on the wall.

This game is dying since 2013 but still manages to get 70 milion registered accounts worldwide and now maybe even more. But hey, we can surelly go to the fast and ever-growing base of Gwent or Shadowverse... Oh wait
