People that are bitching about Steam not being mobile friendly fail to realize that they have a mobile app available on tablets and phones, and you can authenticate your account on your phone. The amount of ignorance on display is staggering.
And people who are claiming that Valve does not trust their community fail to realize they ENCOURAGE their community to contribute to their games (Steam Workshop) and, oh, by the way, DOTA is their FUCKING FLAGSHIP GAME with the International having 95% of their prize pool contributed by their community. So yeah, they want to make a good first impression.
People aren't talking about Steam Chat etc, they're talking about Artifact not being playable on Mobile. Steam App is NOT Steam on mobile, complete with all your games. People want to play a game on their phone, HS can, Artifact can't. That's not ignorance of an unrelated app.
I have no idea about pro players, but i know i am playing hearthstone because it is f2p at its core, it is also mobile and it is based on Warcraft.
I have always been a fan of Warcraft, while i know nothing of the lore of the other games, so it would be just a bunch of interacting stats to me, no matter how well they are designed.
I mean, if i cared so much of balance and design, i might as well switch to chess game...
PS: ofc i will be happy if competition leads to smarter design in HS. I'd gladly get rid of expansions like KaC, mechanic-wise (flavourwise it was really good).
no matter the cardgame, cancerous metanetdeckers that play top s-tier meta decks in casual modes will always exist, that's why i'm not excited about newer releases, if anything i'm a lot more excited about reynad's bazaar if he's able to got hrough with it because of the deckbuilding aspect that won't allow people to metanetdeck stuff in casual.
THIS X MILLIONS. sheeps will always crowd games now because of twitch and the other thousand meta sites.

Best quotes: "Casual is perfectly fine" "warlock is not overpowered" "Playing odd paladin just to test it"
Here is a news report on Artifact, and their direction with the game. I love the fact that Artifact will be focused on Tournaments in game, and it will allow players to make their own rules to build custom Tournaments.
Blizzard should be taking some good notes, but I'm not sure about the B2P, selling and buying packs in Artifact. We will see what happens later in the year.

Artifact feels like Valve’s solution to post-Hearthstone card games
Will definitely be checking it out!
