Hearthpwn

1. Queues flooded with bots (probably by Blizzard to pad out their queues because of not enough players, IMO)
2. it takes a minute+ to find a match (used to take like 3-5 seconds if that)
3. 3 million players (if that statistic is to be trusted) vs 100 million+ in 2016-2017, 
4. I remember back in 2016 this forum used to be so active, now it’s almost dead
5. All the big HS streamers / YouTubers are quitting
6. Etc…

This game is 100% dead, just take a look at 2016 vs today, the difference is astronomical. I wouldn’t be surprised if queues were more bots than players TBH, i watch HS YouTubers (whom are usually at minimum in diamond) and i feels like almost every game they play is vs an obvious bot.

Go touch some grass and quit bitching on games.

Quit then. I did a couple of months ago. I've never looked back apart from the occasional scan of this forum's news.

It wasn't as scary as it felt, given I had played since beta.

@Dhpfreak001

Stop posting on here and touch grass then 🤦‍♂️

2016 is 8 years ago. I don't know the current playerbase, but if your 3 millions user are correct then it's amazing for such an old game. Hearthstone is one of my favorite games ever, but yeah it's way worse than it's used to be. I still enjoy playing a few games from time to time tbh.

I quit in 2021 lol, same as you i literally never looked back. Game has a worse economy than Germany in 1945

 Oh. Well I can assure I definitely won't still be upset about it enough in 3 years time to create threads trying to convince other people. How do you know queue lengths if you've been quit for 3 years? If you still watch streams, why? Just move on.

If other people enjoy it, that's OK, isn't it?

Honestly I dont even know why I did the 80 packs preorder. got almost the entire set (5 leg missing) but i'm not motivated to play or experiment...dont know what It Is exactly,but surely doesnt amuse me anymore like It used to

Game is boring af

I just hang around because I always liked draft modes in card games and atm I have plenty of free time so... that's that. I don't think Hearthstone was ever this boring. There is no point in climbing to legend if you've done it a couple of times already, meta is garbage.

I did notice a lot of bots when I was in the lower ranks, but high Platinum and above is almost all humans from what I can tell with all the emotes and varied deck lists.

I did get more excitement out of the game when there was more interaction and board play, but that's the Hearthstone of the past and now we have endless meteor storms and 4th wall breaking bombs that destroy cards instead of minions.

I still feel this has a little fun for everyone, especially since there's Battlegrounds and Wild on top of Standard. (I now Wild can be cancerous but it's still there lol)

There are bots from Blizzard, it is not even a secret. Maybe you should try to leave the silver ranks, because that is the maximum they appear :D

hilarious..."i quit and never looked back" yet still on the forums crying.

The game is not dead, but it is a fucking mess and the devs are clueless.. bunch of dorks! the game is in a really bad shape.. dunno how they gonna fix it.. Now we have druids and warriors who goes infinity with their decks in standard and one particular streamer promotes this shit on the tube.. Standard is a clown fiesta.. Rogue spamming all kind of shit over and over again with Tess.. the game is fucking trash.. The only thing this shitty company cares about is our wallets.. they don't care about the balance of the game nor the soul.. Hearthstone was good, once! Next thing up is a crossover with Starcraft.. I mean.. why not give us  a crossover with Peppa Pig or The Teletubbies while your at it.. you might dig up a whole new player base and their money ;-)  

If only there was some way to stop playing. 

If I was the new Bobby Kotick I'd add an "uninstall" option to the client so players who don't want to play any more could just quit.
