Are there any good streamers/youtubers now who play actual HS, show fun decks etc. and not play Battlegrounds right now? I hate the mode, and the whole streamer community is about it at the moment. My youtube subscriptions page is overwhelmed by BG videos. Is there the one single guy who keeps playing normal Hearthstone?
I'm in the same boat. I dont hate BGs but am getting a bit bored of watching it and haven't found anyone decent playing normal HS. I guess it's down to the meta being stale.
Not too long until the new expansion at which point I imagine most streamers will return to ladder... we can hope anyway!
The reason for battlegrounds as a mode is to divert from the obvious inappropriate, flawed card design leading up to current unbalanced and indeed mindless ranked meta full of shamans and other skill-free spamm-buff-go face archetypes. From a political perspective simply target audience design.
Slightly amazed how succesfull Blizzard is to manipulate the vulgar masses by this diversion strategy.

Yeah, because coming up with an ENTIRELY seperate game mode is MUCH easier than creating a balance patch... And, I'm sure they knew there would be an "unbalanced and indeed mindless ranked meta full of shamans and other skill-free spamm-buff-go face archetypes" back whenever they started designing, and planning battlegrounds.
This expansion was special, because no one has EVER thrown tantrums about deck imbalances in other expansions (bomb warrior, token druid, even paladin, cubelock, jade druid, pirate warrior), so Blizzard created an entire new game mode to "distract" you from the normal game in which many people throw millions and millions of dollars at, because they enjoy it so much.
Do you people get crazier every 4 months, or is the tinfoil hat leaking something into your scalp?
Standart is shit and not fun to watch and rng have more influence on the game sure bg have rng to but even if you have bad rng you don't directly lose unlike standart hs where stupid shaman plays a mindcontrol tech and steals best possible minion every damn time or you get backward curve while your opponent have perfect curve you cannot play anything till turn 4 while your opponent plays right on curve.
STANDART HS IS ALWAYS SHIT and WILL BE ALWAYS SHIT.

I know it is hard to grasp if you are gullible enough not to see the long term politics of manipulation and design behind the scenes. A trade of all fanboyz.

- I ask people who plays Standard cause I hate Battlegrounds
- people answer how bad Standard is and how good Battlegrounds are
That is not what I asked for...
The correct answer to your question is, "Not much of anyone." That's pretty simple and straightforward, and I think you already knew it.
So then people go the next step and come up with reasons why the answer is what it is. The reason is that no one is playing Standard right now because most people find Standard unpleasant and dull right now due to yet another major screw-up that Team 5 doesn't care to fix.
I'll go one step further and mention that many streamers have stated that their views decrease significantly when they try to play Standard instead of BG. You can't blame them for following the views.

I love how bads keep calling it RNGgrounds. It is both catchy and it makes them easier to spot :)

Probably because the title of your thread is dismissive.

You could always design some cards. Practice makes perfect.
I love how jerks feel the need to insult people on forums to make themselves feel superior. It is both annoying and makes them easier to spot.
Good job of finding yourself in my statement ;) Acceptance is an important step towards improving.
Control, Roffle and Warshack. alltho control and roffle play wild.
and yes, battlegrounds is just bad. it's a terrible autobattler. it's basically hearhtstone without making decisions.
Everywhere I go on this forum , I find eternalHS being a rude douche to other people
Judging by his whriting skills , he must be a 16 yo frustrated virgin craving for attention, so maybe we should stop giving him some ?
I'm envy your superior whriting skills.
Solem uploads videos in wild with weird and (i think) funny decks
lmao is every single person on this site a condescending dick now?
EDIT: oh nevermind its the same eternalhs guy who keeps spitting poison in the forums.
