I've played about 10 games in platinum today. Every game (minus one) has been into either mech rogue or some shit paladin archetype with names like: FlaxHound, BlueHound, FlaxSeal, NeonHero. etc. Last I remember, it seemed Blizzard wanted to scale down the use of their bots. I feel like in Platinum and on launch day there would be enough wild players to queue me into real players. Anyone else experiencing this or am I just a complainer?

Exact same thing for me today, also platinum. About 10 games with similar names (InkPunk, SleepyShaman, BeigeMage). Mech rogue 6 of them, the same paladin archetype for 3, and 1 naga priest that fits the mold too. Hated it and quit for the day
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of players are playing Standard when a new set hits.
On top of that, the current Twist format was a nice way to travel through time for people who own the wild sets, so it makes sense that Wild is currently empty.
I'm seeing an overwhelming number of mech rogues... The deck isn't all that good,, I assume these are all bots? If so, it looks like they've got them simulating card checking / mouse overs and thinking time before things get cast.
I appreciate all the easy wins but where were these fellas when I was trying to get to Legend for the first tiome?
Had this happen yesterday. I think it was 6-7 games in the morning all the same Rogue BS with auto generated names or random letters/numbers combo!
Also, not all of the basic auto gen names will be bots. I used to run multiple alt accounts that were all (something)Pants. I called them The Pants Brigade!

And if you play against them, they rope until the last second.
Hearthstone lost its charm for me.
Wtf is happening.... 5 games in a row against mech rogue.... and actually winning.... in Wild mode.
Free win. Ez game, ez life.

EDIT: After playing around +30matches I can confirm this phoneomenon of bots (unless Blizzard says otherwise).
Look for generated names like : WhiteSparrow, RubySeal, FlameSeal, MauveGhost, PurpleOwl, BlueCrow, BeigeLich, GreyRaven, RedApe, TealThief, MangoBadger .... all playing mech rouge :D
Sure, there might be a player with a similar name like this, slim chance tho.
I report them all, it's up for Blizzard to handle.
My only question is - why? WHY would so many do thins botting with these names????
