As far as I know, there are two kinds of bots: Blizzard bots, which you only encounter at very low MMR in order to keep wait times down, and player bots. Blizzard bots usually have names such as "CrazyMage" or similar two-part names, and they sometimes feature bugs, e.g. Priest of the Deceased being automatically infused or having 40 starting health with no Prince Renathal (as discussed here and here). These don't show up in the "recently played opponents" section.
Player bots usually have totally random names that looks like someone just smashed their hand across the keyboard, like "sergsght" and such. I've only encountered them in Classic, where they run rampant. These do show up in "recently played opponents."

Because the average wage in those countries is much lower than in other countries. It still wasn't the minimum wage workers from Brazil, Argentina, or Ukraine who were driving the sales, it was the middle- and upper class.

You guys are insane if you think minimum wage workers in Brazil, Argentina, or Ukraine are driving revenues for Hearthstone.

I agree, while we're at the topic, I think the design and balance team should get a buff, cause they're complete garbage right now.

Right, cause summoning a 4/4 at the end of you turn without rush, through killing a random minion, while you don't have a hero power that summons a 1/1, while not having a corpse system where the card gives you three extra corpses, is totally the same thing.

Unholy is not weak. Last 7 days it's the best deck in Standard (Diamond through Legend).
Edit:
Just realized you were probably being sarcastic.

I don't care much about the power level of the "Win Game" cards. Though this one might actually have some potential with Countess Ashmore.
My main gripe here is the design philosophy, I absolutely detest it. It doesn't make games fun, it removes the fun out of them. Mecha'thun and Questline Priest I hate equally as much, even if the second one is nowhere to be seen in the meta.

Another "Win Game" card.
An obviously busted location.
I've lost all hope.

The problem isn't Neptulon the Tidehunter, the problem is the cards that cheat it out. The card is pretty meh when actually played for 10 mana.

Just reward a 100 gold instead. What's the point of introducing yet another currency?

Diamond through Legend accounts for roughly 50% of games played by Hearthstone Deck Tracker users. Legend only accounts for 15% of games played by Hearthstone Deck Tracker users. Anyways, if you limit it to Legend only, the results are similar.
The popularity wasn't what what he was arguing. He was arguing that they weren't 'competitive'.
