What's on Your Hearthstone Wishlist for Next Year?
Hearthstone Game Designer, August Dean Ayala, took to Twitter yesterday to ask the community what they'd like to see from the game next year.
So HearthPwnians, what stuff do you want to see from the game next year? Personally, I'd love to see more of the developer insights series that Ben Brode started and I won't even be picky about who you put on.
Overwatch's Game Director, Jeff Kaplan, does pretty regular updates for that community and they're filled with insight. Talk to us about some upcoming content, even if its vague. Provide us with interesting stats here and there - don't be afraid to release stuff like that. Or hey, I know this sounds crazy, but maybe you guys could even use that blog for updates that aren't guacboi.
Quote from @IksarHSWhat's on your Hearthstone wishlist for 2017?
Yeah, me too. Handlock was great deck, and now it's dead (Killed by Ben Brode in 2016).
Rest in Peace, Handlock.
It's problematic if it stays in the Standard meta forever, but imo it would be a healthy change to make it 20 mana and move it to the GVG set. Or 22 mana.
I believe the ranking system should be kept for three months and games should be best of five and having a player ban a class. I know it will make games longer but you will be able to distinguish between skilled and very skilled players. I also believe people should play a certain number of games at the begining of the season eg 12. Based on the players performance, they will be put in the rank they deserve.I also believe the wild format should be removed. Players should have the option of playing all cards in competitive format. lts not fair for the people who invested a lot to the game. You can nerf them to make them more balanced. Maybe make players ban 1-2 cards beforehand e.g Dr Boom or Mysterious challenger. I dont mind rng but there should not be any cards that change the complete aspect of the game you play. The discover mechanic is really good and should be kept. Sometimes there is luck but it requires skill to choose the right card. I also want some cards to be reviewed again. For example if a card was nerfed, it should still be able to see some play. Molten giant is an example of that. It makes the card extremely dificult to be played in a game. I believe these changes can keep the game fresh and enjoyable for a very long time. PS please dont promote any face decks. Aggro is fine but face decks are not interactive at all. Its like playing tennis with a wall. Maybe make weapons hit for less damage when they go face and more damage if they attack minions. Or make them not go face at all
Tournament mode for sure! It really cannot be that difficult and you would gain a completely new competitive experience. You can still play a quick match anytime you want but right now we need some new way to play the game.
1. Make crowd control less of a nuke especially against Legendaries
2, A monk class
3. more adventures
4. a monk class
5. a new type (charge, enrage, dethrattle...etc)
6. a monk class
Because adding classes isn't realistically possible as all the ways to do that have so many downsides, repetitive list, advetures shake up the meta less than expansions, there are already AoEs that aren't nukes and they mostly suck.
I personally agree that adventures are funnier than expansions tho'. They also speed up the power creep less. The thing is they have the next few expansions somewhat planned out so it's too late to change the next year to have 2 adventures now.
Innervate deleted from the game.
Wild revised to include pre nerf version of cards.
Choose cards should make that choice permanent for the entire game.
Person goong second should start at 2 mana and not get coin.
- Would like to see a brawl where u create a deck and play all the cards ( even if u dont have them) and this brawl bring bring the the best version of each card ( pre-nerf) giving ppl who arent from alpha/beta days a closer look to what cards were like b4 and reminding us how the game was
- Also i rly wanna see a tournament mode, and who wins maybe will win a card back (a gd one) ? Or maybe it being shown next to his name when playing till end of season ? Even giving something like X card packs or golden Cards is nice , btw who plays vs who in the tournament should be based on the hidden MMR or something like that so rank 20 doesnt play against a legend and gets smashed
Maybe this is impossible with how the game is designed, but I would like to see cards that can interrupt your opponent on their turn, or at least let secrets be manually activated. Almost every complaint (gameplay wise) seems to boil down to "I can't stop them from doing X." If we had more skillful means of just slowing down plays that ultimately get nerfed into oblivion, then they would not have to be nerfed all the time.

Plz keep Reno, Justicar, Emperor and other cards that allow awesome decks like renolock, control warrior and any combo deck in Standard. These cards allow you to play in a fun, control archetype despite aggro metas. Especially Emperor who allows awesome combos to take place! I know u can do this so plz for the lols, memes and awesome moments these decks provide! Thx!
Dear 2017,
Please bring us more cards like Blood of The Ancient One and even Mayor Noggenfogger (though seriously, what the hell is 9 mana on that?.
These are cards that encourage fun deckbuilding, and crazy games. They are cards that aren't meant for competitive play, but for fun. They represent Hearthstone's vision of 'fun' best in my opinion.
I'm okay with that, but god plz, don't use Epic and Legendary slots for that.
Some good cards for control warrior.
It has good cards, even in Standard it has almost twice as many usable tools as for example slow demonlock in Wild. The card quality isn't the reason it sees currently no play, the reasons are Jade Druid and Jaraxxus.
Ban Weapon Attack to Face
LOL! Why should they ban weapon attack on face
