A lot of the stuff they did is good but it came very late. For example, duplicate protection, the battle pass and the rewards for PLAYING the game, NOT for WINNING the game. (The 10 gold per 3 WINS imo was awful n motivated ppl to play fast hyperaggro decks). They do more nerfs and quicker than the previous times.
HS still has many flaws and I guess thats why people feel negative towards the devs. Demonhunter is a good example. Do we really need a hyperaggro class? Look how many cards got nerfed, it really seems like they do no play testing at all. Or remember snipsnap? When they didnt realize the priest combo? So they had to do a quick fix of that priest epic card which reduced mana cost of deathrattle minions.
Personally I dislike the devs a lot. Im a big fan of BGs, but its so horrible that BGs has so many flaws and noone of the devs gives a shit, especially Iksar. The damage you take early turns is way too high. The game is over before it really started in many cases. The matching system in a game is horrible, for example in the past you faced Opponent A, then B, then A again - they fixed that. But you still can face A, then B, then C, then A, then B. It feels so horrible especially if you have to play against Millhouse which puts you down to 50% after 5 Turns. Iksar is bragging on twitter with his BG acms, yeah cool kid, using internal data probably so he knows which heroes/minons are good :) He maybe should play some TFT and expand his mind. In TFT you face every opponent before you face someone twice. In BGs, I end up with games where I faced the same opponent 3 times, while others 0 times! Complete BS. It would actually involve skill if they did it like in TFT because if you keep track of ur opponents you can predict which one you will face next and adjust your strategy. Also the balance of the heroes, there is such a big difference between the power level. Usually in autobattlers you face the computer early turns and take no damage so you can look which minions to go for. In BGs, the early turns are already important, especially because you can take a lot of damage already, even if you try to spend ur gold wise.
EDIT: I dont mind paying for the game, Im kind of a whale, I always preorder, buy skins, bundles, whatever,I dont even mind spending money on BGs but what they offer in return is shit.
Oh and I forgot the BG animations. Especially if you want to play pirate. People arent cheating, Blizzard could easily fix it :)
