Ben Thompson Has Left The Hearthstone Team
It appears that Ben Thompson has left the Hearthstone team, we can tell by his latest additions to his ArtStation portfolio where he's mentioning his departure from the Hearthstone team.
Quote from Ben Thompson
"This logo was bitter-sweet as it would also serve to close out my tenure with the Hearthstone team and the game that had come to mean so much to me over the last decade."
- Ben was working on the Hearthstone team as a lead artist and he was responsible for developing and maintaining the style of the game throughout the production.
- Throughout the years, Ben created a lot of familiar cards, expansion logos, game-boards, card backs, and many more.
- Some of them being -> Leeching Poison; Eydis Darkbane; Light's Sorrow; The Coin; Gallywix's Coin; Band of Bees; Shut up, Priest; The Hunted
- Ben also created our favorite SMOrc hero -> Rexxar

There is also Ben's tweet about his departure from the Hearthstone team:
Quote from Ben ThompsonI actually left the company two weeks after BlizzCon last year and just didn’t make a big exit of it. I miss the team and of course the game as I saw it as my child after 11 years, but it was time to hand the reins to others and try something new again.
Thank you so much for your passionate work on our favorite card game Ben, you will be missed!
bummer
The ship still sails anyway, nothing gonna change the fact that it wont affect the game by any means 🙄
Well, at least Ben Brode is still with us...
another one of their best and likeable employees left
i wonder why, couldn't be activision's fault, no no that would be absurd
who cares....and lets move on now....seriously 99.9 of people don't GAF who these people are or care about them more than toilet paper
Hum...he created Rexxar? good thing he left HS then...not a big fan of infinite value cards...
He's an artist, not a designer. So he painted the art for Rexxar, he didn't make the infinite value card.
Plus it's not clear whether the art is for the death knight card, it might've just been the base hero.
He created the art for the regular Rexxar hero.
Good thing reading isnt necessary for this game. Oh wait its the most integral part of it. Damn i feel sorry for you for even being able to get out of plat.
He created art, not the balance part.
Another Ben bites the dust.
I freaking made a post instead of a reply 🤦♂️
Damn it I thought it was the expansion trailer, yet again.
At this hour? No way.
nah its just a teaser for the latest de-expansion of blizz.alote of life boasts have already left...
