I tried ESL and it is good for what it is but... Hearthstone is not your usual online card game. Blizzard uses a lot of warm and fuzzy feeling colors, sounds, and vocabulary. Hearthstone is set apart from all other card games because it is warm and inviting and your cards feel more like characters than cards. I have tried probably every online card game that has been put out and they all feel stiff and unfriendly. The Blizzard/Hearthstone community in every game they produce invites much community even if it is negative and trash talk. ESL is trying to put their story into their game but it just feels like a card game that is faking personality. Blizzard taps into human emotion where ESL is just trying to tell you a story. I love card games, table top games, and video games, I have been playing them all ever since I can remember and the games I keep going back too have some sort of emotional attachment to them, that is what blizzard creates. I love high end strategy and ESL seems to have that, but I will always revert back to the emotional game win or lose. So my in my humble opinion ESL will have its niche players but it will not surpass Hearthstone and I believe that many people that have posted their enjoyment of ESL on this post will always come back to Hearthstone.
I don't really ever have a rant but after playing from beta. does anyone else have the problem of starting and mulliganing 1 of 3 cards and getting the same card you were trying to get rid of. this has been happening to me 80% of the time for the last 3 years and it is very disconcerting.
I have a lot of accounts and half of them do not have a lot of good cards so I improvise. Look through the top decks in the current meta and use the cards you have and substitute cards that you do have for the cards that are missing to create the closest interpretation of the the deck you would like to use. As you collect better cards substitute them in for cards that are inferior. This will allow you to learn the basic mechanics of the deck and see what you need to improve it. This will also allow you to understand why the cards that are missing from your improvised deck help put the deck that you are trying to emulate on the top tier. Learn how all decks work and you will enjoy the game a whole lot more and you will become a much better player. Just my 2 cents.
