Your deck does really not matter no more just throw everything at the wall and hope it stick instead back and fourth like it used to be. It really feels like a blizzard dumb down this game so much it keeps pushing out more of old HS ever year.
What have to zoo lock or real control warrior and even jade idol was better what a Druid is now. I think after Journey to Un’Goro HS just start to spiral downhill from their and one of the best expansion releases to me not sure to others.
It’s been in decline ever since 2014/2015 imo. As you mentioned, the old decks had not this steamrolling effect, required often times more than 2 braincells. Even zoo lock wasn’t as dumb as the current decks in many shapes and forms are. Also, ladder was also just having 20 (?) ranks or so till legend not this artificial grindfest to boost playing time for your showcase purpose.
A lot of people who spent their entire teenage and young adult years playing StarCraft, Diablo 2 and WarCraft 3 are so hopelessly addicted that if the CEO of Blizzard showed up at their door and literally spit in their face, they’d still play Hearthstone because the only value in their miserable lives is clinging to “old Blizzard” nostalgia.
These people WILL keep Blizzard profitable until they die off. They are lifetime consoom-slaves.
I’ll play to dead like other will with Wow and not complain just saying fact see for myself. I just don’t see myself investing anymore, it like used to expansion before do pre-order and buy bundle after, but now I think no longer worth it. Best bet now is F2P for now till see some changes.
Let me burst your bubble: the changes you’re hoping for will never, ever happen.
Today’s Blizzard? You could multiply their care for players by infinity, and it still wouldn’t match their obsession with profit. Their care for the customer is literally zero.
I don’t get your nostalgia. At this point, it’s like being in an abusive relationship, and instead of leaving, you’re just chatting with others in the same situation about how bad it is.
And by the way, I acknowledge that “old Blizzard” nostalgia is a part of me too. I’m from that generation, and the memory of the magic of that time in Blizzard’s history is something that, even if I could forget, I’m not sure I’d want to.
I just try to not let that turn me into a pathetic person, with middling results. Modernity sucks, the sorrow is real, avoiding cope is hard. But avoid it we must.
Then go. Leave. Stop. Don’t come here, uninstall, dust your collections and get on with your life.
You look ridiculous coming here to complain about game you think peaked in 2017 as though it’s a shock seven years later.
Then it’s always been in decline because you’re talking about the game being released in 2014.
The fact of the matter is you’re wrong or classic mode would have been played by more than bots.
You have this nostalgia for a game that actually never existed. What’s changed is the players and your understanding of the game. You are no longer knee deep in awful decks piloted by worse players as the proliferation of information and the experience of the general player base is exponentially improved from the era you remember so fondly.
Exactly my question. If I don’t like a restaurant, I certainly don’t go back for the next seven years only to write yelp reviews each time I still hate it.
This is unironically the best way to send the message that the game isn’t what they want anymore.
I’ve literally done that on one of my accounts before.
I’m fully aware of the cycle: I hate this game → close it → re-open it the next day.
If you have the means, cut off what’s holding you down.
I’ll go one step further and tell you exactly what I did. I dusted everything, recrafted it all, then redusted it until I was down to about 100 dust, making it impossible for myself to come back to the game.
You repeat a basic mathematical misunderstanding of people. RNG being big in ONE GAME does not mean it makes it any less of a zero sum game given a sum of many games. That’s because randomness is shared between opponents; you lose some and win some equally compared to other opponents hence the sum nets a zero; what is not same is your skill compared to the average unless you happen to be the most average.
