Hearthpwn

I've played the game since Beta and understand both sides of this debate.

I used to buy all skins and bundles  ( call me a whale if you wish) and had a good time playing. On multiple occasions, I got legend rank in all 3 modes at the time and I was pretty okay with the game.

As soon as I skipped some bundles from the shop for skins and such I got a terrible run in luck. I wasn't able to reach Legend in a few months, I had terrible RNG in general. 

Now, I am NOT stating the two are connected but I just noticed some patterns. I would have games in which there was absolutely nothing I could have done differently to not lose.

Games where RNG would be so busted that I believed I was getting "scammed" in a way. After a few bad games like those, I would come across an opponent that I would completely crush. Like either he had the same thing I did the last few games or it was " rigged" for me to win and not lose interest.

In general, I stopped buying and completely went F2P mode because the discovery and all the random mechanics were just too much for my liking. I feel in a way it's 90% luck and 10% skill game now.

Since then I lost interest in the game. I wasn't able to reach legend in the last 3 months because I would just get triggered by the insane amount of RNG and bad matchmaking. I would lose even high favorable matches due to bad RNG.

My main point is. Don't pay for anything in HS. It's not worth your time and money. There are plenty of other games that cost less and are way more interesting to play. And as well I'm not saying the game is rigged but as well I'm not saying it's not in a way.

Terrible deck. If it works once in 6 games consider yourself lucky.

This game is an RNG fiesta I don't really understand how people don't realize that. Skill is irrelevant because if you don't draw your good cards you still lose.

If you don't discover better than your opponent you lose.

It is all luck.  What makes streamers and high-legend players rank is just the amount of time they spend and basic knowledge of the game.

Some people still do have fun playing the game.

Maybe it's just that you don't have any fun playing in this meta which is okay.

I usually stop when I don't find the meta interesting. I did however find Relic DH quite fun and a decent deck.

My advice would be maybe to try different game modes until you find the meta playable and fun again.

damn. Wild is gonna be wild.

easy miracle rogue doing great for me

Even though I finish legend every season almost, happens to me at the start of the season.

Legend players are starting to grind as well and even though they get ranks fast you still might face some tryhards with meta decks.

No use to try to have fun and win. Just use the best meta decks you can.

If we get more slots, we definitely need a UI change.

 The UI definitely needs to change the game has looked the same for 10 years now. The menu, collection everything should get upgraded.

I don't know what's taking them so long to make some visual and UI improvements 

The game needs to evolve but does not evolve in the way I would like it to evolve.

Introducing new mechanics and all is fine by me. I just have a problem with certain OP cards that shape the meta but they change them regularly with nerfs and buffs so I'm kinda okay with that too.

Hearthstone didn't change at ALL since it has been released. It's the same board, cards, and playstyle without any visual improvements whatsoever. The only thing that did change is some effects the cards have and new mechanics and that in my books is not enough.

And at the end of the day, they started to monetize so hard without any ground whatsoever.

Think about it like this. A game like NBA or FIFA or whatever. How those games changed during the years from 2014 until today.

Graphic improvements skyrocketed. They are visually way better. Graphics are amazing in today's games. I understand this is a card game and tends to be simple and easy to play but still. Continuing in this way Heartstone will fall behind other games. Even TFT has better graphics and overlay as a game. 

There is a TON of improvements that can be done from a visual and graphic design point of view. If the game is visually attractive and up to date with today's games I think it might attract more players and at the end of the day be more enjoyable.

That's why I got annoyed when they started to monetize aggressively last year all around without any grounds.

Improve the overlay, and graphics, make it more visually appealing, and then we can talk more.

I pray it becomes a deathrattle.

That way it's still playable and still good but mostly in control decks .

just nerf as death rattle 

crazy bad deck. fun but bad

Worst brawl I ever played

While I agree he's strong in that specific build, I don't mind it. A tunnel blaster does the trick in most cases. 

Poison is more of a problem if you look at it not shields.
