Congrats on driving away a paying customer. All you do is add unfun mechanics. The botter problem goes unfixed. I keep getting people burn the rope til the last second and hit enemy turn just to drag it out, playing against the same decks over and over, and every single one is rigged. So congrats, you made yet another person uninstall yet another Blizz game.

I agree! I used to love this game, but now it’s nothing but roppers and the same spam aggro decks. Sad to see one of my favorite games from my teen years die like that.

seriously, by turn 3 its like I know I wont win so whats the point in dragging the game out? est concede. I am not thinking
“well played good buddy”
I am thinking
“well drawn on the broken mechanics on your perfect draw, you win, not going to sit through the motions and get annoyed, next game”
and I was like
“ya know what, I’m done with this, theres better games”

People that actually spend money on a FtP game have no one but themselves to blame if they feel like they wasted their money, everything, outside of cosmetics, is accessible for free to everyone

I never said I felt ripped off, I just want the game to be less rigged and more random like it used to be. I hate that like 40% of my games are guaranteed losses no matter what. You can either play high end decks or play cheese, or play absolute trash and you are guaranteed to win, and it has nothing to do with skill or deck building. Contrast that to IRL deck building games and even other online TCGs that are better randomized with good gameplay mechanics and Hearthstone is a joke in comparison. Furthermore they push game styles nobody likes, wants, or even asked for. I only ever get maybe 2 out of 100 games that are actually skill based in Hearthstone, where the players have equally matched but different decks and the win could go at any moment. Before these recent patches I would get them like all the time and it was super fun. I have no idea what the heck is going on over at Blizz but they need to backtrack these changes immediately.
RL TCGs don’t have mechanics like Discover, or summon/cast random creature spell, as there is no massive card pool you can just pull said random card from, unless you have every card from the legal set(s)
These mechanics are largely why Hearthstone is unbalanced/broken

Well all you have to do is look at a certain patent held by Activision to understand it
US patent: US20160005270A1
System and method for driving microtransactions in multiplayer video games
A system and method is provided that drives microtransactions in multiplayer video games. The system may include a microtransaction arrange matches to influence game-related purchases.
Why this patent and those like it should 100% be illegal. Not only the patent, but the practice itself.
When you gamble, lets say scratch off lottery tickets. The ticket itself is fixed. You buy it and scratch it off and see if you won. Nothing influences it at all.
When you go to a casino and play blackjack, the cards are fixed. They aren’t changing their values at random.
But when you have an algorithm changing the outcome behind the scene not visible to the player, you are now incentivizing the need to buy something.
this team dosn’t care anymore. The whales will keep buying their crap.
no, we aren’t, we are leaving their games in droves
they’re not going shed a tear if we left. They just don’t care.
