Read your post. More archetypes, class focused expansions, bigger adventures, monthly card releases. Nice, wonderful...but will count for nothing if initial card design fails, organizes imbalances, cater into aggressiveness, by which I mean we will seeing more of the same in a different way. I doubt then it will do any good as then your ideas - how thoughtful - will only be cosmetic..

My point remain to adapt design philosophy to a situation where board play enhances a better game experience by curbing burn, burst and charger damage. If future expansions will produce more of these cards nothing will really change as that means major changes, which I don't see Brode and consort be doing.

 

People who dispise wild essentially despise hearthstone. This is what we played for 2 years and we didn't felt the need for a rotating format. Then blizzard decided that they couldn't sell a lot of packs if people kept using good cards so they forced the pro players to play their new format, which also made the community do that.

 LOL Did anyone else get a kick out of this, referring to playing WoW as if it was an eternity ago? This is not a knock on the OP, as we can't help our age. Just more of a commentary on the relative passage of time and the wisdom it confers. I am sure there are a large number of folks like me that started gaming (digitally) with Ultima Online and "card games" were played with actual cards.

I do not think the game is too simple. Certain decks may be. If your only goal is to hit Legend each month, then yeah, I agree...you're going to have a bad time.

Yeah this is far from being f2p. F2p is only possible for people who have played for long time and do well in arena.

Personally Im not f2p I spent around 200$ total since 2014 but I spent only 5$ total last year (buying the intro pack). Most of my spending was the first months spamming arenas to get experience and get rolling.

Do I regret spending 200$ ? Definitly. This game gets worse and worse.. A lot of untapped potential but a lot of inertia from devs side.

But I do understand it from Blizzard's point of view. If they build the game around high skill decks, this will make it harder for new players to get into the game. And well let's be honest at the end of the day this isn't a game, this is business for them. They need to keep attracting new players, because let's face it pros only represent 1-2% of the whole HS community and I believe they are willing to let some pros go to other game as long as they can attract 1000 new players.

 But they don't have to build the game around high skill decks.They should just stop making overstated minions and the decks for us.A simple card doesn't have to be a braidead card,expamples:grim patron,wild pyromancer,molten giant(if they bother to make its text accurate) etc.They are all simple to understand cards but allow complex strategies.However they will gradually delete them all and replace them with braindead op shit like drakonid hyperOPperative,0 mana 5/5 taunt and other bullshit cards.They should just print interesting cards with some occasional tribal synergy and let us do the deckmaking ourselves.If something brakes the game nerf it after 4-5 weeks when everything has settled down.What we are asking is not impossible,it's what they were doing before naxx and did with loe.Interesting cards that didn't force feed decks(being braindead just adds salt to injury).

I watched a great YouTube video about the state of the game right now and it made some great points. Basically it was about how the game has questions and answers. The questions are far stronger than the answers in almost every case. That means that the big, OP threats are cheap and easy to play and their counters or "answers" are too costly or too situational. It's that simple. Aggro pirate decks have too many unanswerable questions and it's game over by turn 5. The problem is that cards like acidic swamp ooze or Harrison jones are pure shit if played "naked" or if they don't use their battlecry. The you tube guys idea was excellent: why not add text to these cards so if you do NOT use the battlecry then you gain some attack and or health? Or, eater of secrets. That's another extremely useless card unless you happen to go up against a mage or secret paladin. Change the text of the card to make it worth playing in other matchups.  You get the idea here. Make the answer cards "smarter" and cheaper. 

Then, you must make stronger taunts that cost less. Board clears that are neutral and do enough damage. Healing that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. A way to block battlecries altogether so Reno or Brann combos isn't an automatic win. This is the kind of stuff that would add a LOT of decision making to the game and allow more deck types and customized decks to exist. Hell, even allowing each player to swap out a few cards once you know your opppnents class would do wonders for the game. They really ought to think about this stuff.

 The dude above revived it so you can show us your stupidity,

I just miss control warrior and Handlock of old, they were skillful decks that you really had to think your turns out.

Join Eternal. But most Hearthstoneplayers won´t have the skill to even install it or get through the Tutorial.
