In one of the Diablofans site's threads about how much they hate the new Diablo mobile game, one poster over there compared it to Hearthstone and how that was a failed game on the mobile platform.
I scratched my head on that one. I don't think he was making the point he was trying to make.
Causal players, normal players, the majority of the playerbase don't have 5+ accs! There is no need nor reason for them to have. To thing that HS has accumulated 100 million accounts because the majority of players have more than one account is just stupid.
I'm casual, and I have about 20 accounts. Ok, now only 2, as others are redundand, since I can share my collection. They exist for my own tournaments, with decks I like and all that. I still play these tournaments, and it is way better than actual game.
I tried to tell acc numbers meaning nothing. 100 mill acc is one thing. 100 mill active players are joke. I know many people who tried the game but when they realize the rng bullpoo and the fun and interactive gameplay they stop playing. Ask blizz the active player numbers since the release year by year. They'll never tell because the game is dying.
Ok, let's go by your logic. How many accounts do players have then? 10? 20? 100?! You see how stupid that sounds? To back up this multiple account numbers every player would need to have above 10 other accounts to even remotely reach 100 million accounts, and this is lowballing.
Game went from 70 million to 100 million in less than 2 years. Revenue reports show that the game is earning more and more money. Clearly the playerbase is not dying.
The game is not dead but he is dying cause if you joined HS one or two years ago you will only be able to play aggro and maybe 1 full class. I play since beta nearly all day and I start to have trouble to have all cards. Before with adventure for 2800 gold and only 1 legendary per class it was ok. Now I have to decraft all golden card to stay in game and I really start to have trouble to get enough pack each extension because I don't buy packs.

How are you having trouble? Each expansion has about 10 cards that are worth playing, maybe 3 of them are legendary, depends on the expansion.
You dont understand my little fanboy. Hs has 100 million accounts. If somebody started play hs and after one month stoped playing is still one of the 100 mill. The number of account doesnt show the number of active players.
So you're adamant that people have stopped playing the game. Ok, by your estimation how many people are playing the game now?

HS maybe gaining mobile users (Blizzard is mobile company now) but it is undeniable that HS viewership on twitch is at its all time lowest.
Twitch numbers, like forum/reddit numbers, represent a minority of HS users. For example, let's say that there are 100k viewers during HGG finals and let's idiotically lowball the number of players to 1 million. Even with such an unrealistic number, that is a 1/10 of the entire playerbase watching the biggest event of the year.
Being that I can log in and play 451456 different players and rarely see the same ones as my opponent, gonna say HS is in a good place. Grats Team 5.
You must not play wild. I almost started a thread yesterday about how the game should prevent playing the same opponent 3 times in row because it happens to me so often. Happened again today. Happens a lot to me in wild.

Wait! Do you play tournaments against yourself?
Yeah, why not? It is the only mode where I can play decks I want.
Toast has 5+ accounts, Kripparian has 3 or more accounts, most people, including me, create 5 extra accounts for refer a friend, so we could get extra packs. I doubt there are even 2 million active players, League has maybe 10 million active players daily and it is much more popular than Hearthstone.
I still don't understand why they had to sign a deal with the devil (activision) - looking forward to warcraft 3 remake - hopefully it will bring back the player base as in the old days - no longer bot hosts.
I dont see the point of threads like this. If you think the game is dead than f*ck off and dont play it. Go play the crappy mtg arena or gwent or wait for the more crappier artifact . I've been playing HS for 2 years and will continue playing it.

If i press to queue,i,m not fast enough to hit cancel afterwards,so i would say Hearthstone is holding up nicely.

100 million accounts doesn’t equal 100 million active accounts. I wonder how many of those accounts have been active in the past 3 months

Yeah, why not? It is the only mode where I can play decks I want.
LOL ofc, accounts can't be deleted, so HS can't have decreasing number of players. Logic
Inactive accounts can increase, tho
Toast has 5+ accounts, Kripparian has 3 or more accounts, most people, including me, create 5 extra accounts for refer a friend, so we could get extra packs. I doubt there are even 2 million active players, League has maybe 10 million active players daily and it is much more popular than Hearthstone.
Most people create 5 extra accounts for refer a friend, so they can packs for their main account... so yeah, 100 million active players.
I still don't understand why they had to sign a deal with the devil (activision) - looking forward to warcraft 3 remake - hopefully it will bring back the player base as in the old days - no longer bot hosts.
I do not believe that Hearthstone had 100 millions of active players ever. It is amount of accounts created, I think.
