I honestly don't get why people are so upset by bots. It's just a free win in most cases.
Apart from the obvious, i want to play the game and not against bots. Actually i have no clue what the meta is and how i should tweak my self made deck and when i tech against the bots, i lack against real players. YES! Some bots are REALLY effective! Death Knight is like they created that class just for bots.
Second: Those bots waste TIME! FCK the free win, i could have won 4 more against real players.
This was easy to figure out on release.
DK was added to support more effective Blizzard bots 100%.
Not really salty. Just disappointed. It's really sad to see Hearthstone at its current state. There is no strategy and planning. You just have to copy-paste the strongest deck which currently is Dragon Druid and voilà! Enjoy your efortless wins!
Big thumb down to the balancing team for releasing these cards.
100% this. These devs have destroyed what could have been a potentially engaging and fun one of a kind digital strategy game by totally infesting it with nothing but degenerate rulebreaking, cancerous, annoying, and highly irritating rng elements.
Just like Overwatch and Diablo, they have completely driven away all fans and it is now absolutely nothing but a casino coin flip.
No wonder over 90% of the streamers, content creators, and E-sport communities that supported it have jumped ship.
Sure that's because this fake ass "Digital Strategy" card game is nothing but an AI and algorithm driven piece of garbage. Nothing is random about it whatsoever. They control every instance of discover, card draw, in-game rng, coin, and top deck, along with every player and deck you face in the game to try to drive a phony ass "wow...that was amazing and unbelievable" game reaction out of players.
The problem is that although this may work on small ignorant children, anyone else with even a basic understanding of probability would find find each and every game scenario laughably ridiculous and bad.
Why does this board feel like it's infested by flaming Blizzard devs? It's a fact that all random crap like Anomolies, Discover, etc are the polar opposite of concepts like strategy or even fun for that matter.
Face it, you guys have failed at hiding this AI driven, fake, manipulated mess of a game.
I've returned to playing after 4 1/2 years. And sought out this thread I remembered so fondly to say please delete the Death Knight class. 85% of people are playing this broken class. Control decks that out-damage other classes' aggro decks and aggro decks that outheal other classes' control decks. The game would be much-improved if not for this ridiculous and obvious money grab.
This 1000%. That's the exact same reason they keep printing busted cards that routinely get nerfed expansion after expansion.
It's a cheap money-grabbing appeal to the clowns that only want to play HS for the possibility of playing busted cards or classes.
100%. Been playing off and on since early Beta and can attest this is to be true in not only my experience - but my play data.
Everything is rigged to a degree in this game so that Blizzard can maintain and manage the win experience for players.
The aspects of manipulation are as follows: 1) Matchups. 2) RNG elements. 3) Card draw sequence. 4) Discover relevance.
This is why they will never reduce the heavy amounts of supposed "RNG" aspects of the game. They claim this makes it 'fun' despite the fact that the overwhelming player majority says that not only is RNG not fun, it also removes deck building strategy and hampers the overall gameplaying experience for both players. It does not feel good for either to win by pure luck.
They will also never remove Discover as it allows losing decks to secure stolen wins by better planned, constucted and played decks.
Would you mind sharing the relevant play data you've collected so we can see how you got to these conclusions?
Nope. Ain't nobody got time for that.
That's my opinion from my own experience from playing this game since early Beta. I have years of sample data via my tracker but I'm stating my opinion for anyone to take or leave.
If you don't agree for whatever reasons, simply state your reasons or move on.

Also Blizzard's primary means of manipulation, which is DISCOVER, DISCOVER, DISCOVER and RNG, RNG, RNG....are ironically what is making players hate the game so much, why the player base has shrank dramatically, and why no one will pay for this trash.
That's because it is. ANTIFUN. UNINTERACTIVE, BORING, STALE, MANIPULATED.
I will go so far as to say that This game is dead if next expansion doesn't fix major issues on the strategy and interaction front. And no, M$ won't save you Blizzard.

Yep. Accept it.
This game has gone beyond retarded.

Awful experience every game from round 1.

Agreed 1000%. This game's design from a fun and interactive standpoint has gone off the rails.
It's truly an awful experience at the moment.

Face it. Hearthstone is 100% assjuice.
Been dead for years now, which is why bots are everywhere...very low active players nowadays.

Yep Anomolies suck as bad as this fake strategy game.
Hearthstone is ass made by ass game designers and greedy corporate sponsors. Nothing more.
