The fun of HS, for me, was always trying to hand read and play around what my opponent might have. That is how the game used to be.
Today, there are so many random cared generators, with lackeys being a prime example, that you can only legitimately see the game as casual fun. It certainly is not a high-skill, competitive game any more.
That was a deliberate design choice by Blizzard, probably linked to Twitch and YouTube (Blizzard wanted more highlights for social marketing). But it ruined the game, in my opinion.
