Just like every other year and of course it's dying to every other card game...HAHAHA!
Between Magic: Arena and the upcoming Artifact, Hearthstone doesn't stand a chance ; )
^^This. People really need to start changing the record, hearing the same thing over and over again gets boring. lol
Do you even realize how ironic your metaphor of "changing the record" is with regards to Hearthstone lol?
This game is the very definition of a 45 rpm single. Two sides, two songs and nothing else. And that's IF you're lucky, as most singles almost always just have an instrumental track on Side B.
Honestly, yours is a very good metaphor to describe the current state of the game lol. Even if you didn't intend for it to be that. XD
lol, whatever dude, you got called out by 2 people for your first comment so of course you had to try and reply back with some smart comment but that's cool, good day.
If by "called out", you meant faced by two random people on the internet who would have denied any arguments by anyone to begin with regardless of what they were, then sure. I got "called out."
Have fun playing the same record, hearing the same thing over and over.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
I really liked hearthstone and I even invested quite some money in it. Reached legend once but ever since ww i struggle to play hs. It's like the magic is gone or something. I don't really find decks I enjoy playing. And often when I lose I get really pissed and just close the game. I hoped it would get better with the new expension but I'm still not feeling it.
On the other hand I invested so much time and money that I really want to love it but struggle to even grind to 5 nowadays.
Guess taking a break would be a good way but then again I'd lose out on so much gold and when a new possibly exciting expension hits I'd have even less motivation to get back into.
Play something else. Just because you have invested time and money in it. doesn't mean you should keep spending more time and money on it. Google "sunk cost fallacy" if you are interested.
I skipped HS For 6 months and back in LOE Lunch , I found the game Really deferent and fresh , I found that I have Tons of Golds and Dust because most of my cards rotate out so i easily got back to competitive play .. otherwise I think I won't continue playing it right now .
Same here dude. I've lost fun in laddering (what's the point in grinding to get only a golden common or rare?), so I just play to complete daily quests and wait for next exp...
My other motivation is getting the golden heroes that I don't have, but for that I need laddering, so that got me stuck...
I don't think taking a break is a real solution. The day where you will come back hearthstone will not have changed. It will be the same rng based game with a painful ladder, no matter the expansion. Every new expansion is a new false hope, it's always "maybe the next one will be the good one", then you realize that one time again the ladder is execrable and that you will have to endure completely broken cards that will never be nerfed because yes "but man just play silence" or "just play the counter". This game is a vicious waste of time, just leave it

I've been here since 2014, boy. That's closed beta. Clearly, I loved the game at some point. In fact, I still very much love the fan creations forum. The folks there display the sort of imagination and creativity that's sorely lacking in Blizzard's dev department at the moment. That's why I'm still here.
You don't have to love the game to appreciate that much.
I wish I could help, but I've been feeling the same way lately. Games feel like a giant coin flip. The opponent seems to run a deck that completely answers everything I can do or they have no answers and I steamroll them. gain a star, lose a star. Win 3 in a row, loss 3 in a row..
I addition I'm tried of playing against zoo. The power level is off the charts and many games seem unwinnable. Zoo seems to be about 40% of the matches on ladder.
Just use odd warrior. You will see a lot less zoo.
Just install MtG Arena, forget about Hearthstone and stop suffering, my friend. :D
This
Guess I will repeat this because it needs more attention. In 5 hours my quest will reset and award me an entirely new deck for doing something less tedious than your average Hearthstone quest. Love MTGA. It's funny how HS being stale is a common sentiment but people would rather bitch and fight with each other than just move on and feel good. New cards are not going to fix Hearthstone and new cards is all this game is going to get. You have to be dumb to stick around if you aren't happy. No game is going to wipe out the Hearthstone player base. Poor idiots are too abundant for that. It's the people who like competing and the ones who spend money (like me) Hearthstone needs to be worried about losing.
So yeah. If you aren't happy, go research Artifact and stick with MTG at least long enough to understand the basics and earn a few decks. These games aren't as complex as hearthstone kids would have you believe and for all the simplicity Hearthstone fans like to flaunt, it's that simplicity which has lead to this game becoming such shit to begin with. Embrace the interactivity other card games offer. The shackles of your worthless collection hold you no longer.
It's the complete other way around for me. I've been rank 5 only once before and am rank 3 now.
I nearly almost only play priest decks and I've a deck that works really well now. Motives a lot to play. But that's all preference dependent.
Just take a break for a while. Maybe just until next expansion and see which cards and decks are created. It might just be the thing to motivate you to play again.
Consider making new account and playing with Whizbang. I found it so fresh to play from rank 25 to 15 with random decks. Actually it helped me to have fun when I got back to main one.
I feel the same since BD. No deck is fun. I instantly stop at five.
But I have realized that DaneHS has incredibly fun deck recipes for Wild. Whenever I have this feeling, I play Wild. For me it’s Big Rogue or currently Big Druid (Dollmaster + Psychmelon). I lose more than winning but when you don’t care, you enjoy the games.
And, by the way, those decks are so expensive. I feel the money invested :)
Exactly, and if you still don’t feel like playing hearthstone, Watch DaneHS streams, it’s just as fun and entertaining and you don’t have to commit any money for it!
You could try to quit the game for a while like others mentioned, or maybe just quit the grind so you can play fun “meme” decks on low ranks (like priest where you resummon weaponized pinatas / mage with elekk + deck of wonders)
or you could try to challenge yourself. If you have friends that play the game, challenge them as well! If you dont have friends that play the game, you should make them!! For me that is one of the best parts from the game!!
An example of a challenge is: People in a discord group where i am in, do a challenge to put around 20 druid core cards in their deck (spellstone, naturalize, branching paths, floop, ult infestation, twig of the worldtree, just the ones that every single druid deck runs) and then they use the autofill option for the rest of the deck and climb to legend with it, but i think thats still a bit grindy. But there are also other challenges to find.
i think it’s the best to start with a break and when you come back try the other two advises (meme decks / challenges)
i have one last advise but thats more personal maybe. You should go every hour, or every 5 games, and then you just go outside and take a small walk and just enjoy fresh air and control your breathe. If it is rainy you can just walk to the kitchen, make a cup of tea (netherland things :-D) and watch out of the window, anything is good as long as you concentrate on yourself (or chat with your partner if you have one) INSTEAD of focussing on the game and sitting in the same position hours upon hours. Also try to not go on your telephone / television in this break because thats not what its meant for. in this break you dont do anything with your HEAD because you already did that for an hour. You try to focus on your BODY because people tend to forget that when being concentrated (and while doing homework i also use this strategy of going outside every hour)
I really hope the advises are usefull for you and you start feeling better about the game and sectetly also you will feel better in the rest of your life!
If you don't want to quit, just play meme decks or your own custom decks.
I haven't played competitively in my entire time I have played Hearthstone and I've been around since the beginning. The grind on the ladder can be rough and that's a large portion of why people aren't having fun with this game. However, this game has something special that many other games with insufferable ladders don't. Your creativity has a lot of ways it can stretch. Make fun decks! Use cards you've never used before! I have always made an effort to do this and the game has never been stale for me. I always have a blast both by myself and with friends. Challenge yourself! Can you make a Standard deck where Star Aligner is the star of the show in a Priest deck? That's what I asked myself and I did it! What about Corpsetaker in a Paladin deck? Can you make Fjola Lightbane useful? Don't play for what's good and instead, play for what is fun and challenging. By doing this, you cut out the stress of trying to climb the ladder and you focus on the enjoyable idea that your own creativity can lead to entertaining moments in this game. All of these decks I mentioned are on my profile. I play them all the time and have a good time doing so. Although I've only posted these three, I've also made a Mecha'thun Shaman, The Ancient One Priest, Subject 9 Paladin, Even Druid and a Warlock deck where the main goal is to use Treachery on a Bittertide Hydra and Defile your opponent to death. Do I win everytime? Of course I don't. But I have still have fun doing so. Just think differently, use different cards, and put your creativity to use.
Too long; didn't read? Challenge yourself, my friend. Ask yourself what you can do. Can you make an Odd Warlock? Can you think of an OTK combo in Standard that Glinda Crowskin enables? Can you make an Paladin deck where Scaleworm is viable?
I'm sorry to hear you aren't enjoying the game that much. But, I really hope this helps!
First of all, if you go for a break from the game, the outcome is not just a loss of gold: it is a *gain* of personal TIME.
Which is far more valuable than gold: focusing on some extra real life activity is always better than spending time in a videogame.
With that being said, you can find more inspiration in the game than bare laddering up: you can focus more on homebrewing, challenging yourself with theme-related decks and/or revamping certain deck archetypes, or even just customize decks with fancy packages of cards.
If you like, it is a sort of roleplaying with cards. This is what i mostly do, and the only motivation that keeps me going in the game.
Then again, i repeat, a healthy break is always far superior to the loss of gold: concrete, real-life gains are a better investment of your time.
Just like every other year and of course it's dying to every other card game...HAHAHA!
