All day long it’s nothing but OWLTK and Pirate warriors, game is dull, there is no fun in this game, you can’t beat these decks, it’s insta concede why even bother? i will watch old Hearthstone Tournaments for fun instead of the new one, cheers all

Freeze Shaman doesn’t win against owltk warlock. Unless the Warlock is a new player that doesn’t have any idea on how to pilot the deck whatsoever, you WILL lose that matchup.

I highly recommend Mutanus. Wait until after they play their Dreadlich Tamsin, so that the probability of them having their Owl in hand is high. If you’re using shaman, you can parrot Mutanus’ effect to all but guarantee eating their Owl.

It’s not dead, it’s just in a bad place. Game has become brain dead with RNG and 0TK decks.

It’s not dead just has a butch of brainless devs after the original team left. If remember right their the only one of the original dev on the team who created hearthstone the rest jump ship.

you must be pretty addicted, to waste your time watching old tournaments.

I hope it’s undead. Let the Book of Mercenaries story finish, then we can argue over whether or not to give the game a headshot. We also need to see Drek’thar and the Horde win the honor contest.

Gaming is up for a major overhaul.

CSGO, Fortnite, DOTA, LoL, WoW, Hearthstone, Overwatch…there are games people are simply playing because they can’t get an affordable GPU and COVID delayed many new titles.

Once GPU become affordable again and major projects get back on track, you’ll see a spring cleaning and those 10-year-old titles will see their populations tank.

wow ? you are telling me there wasnt an affordable gpu for over 15 years and thats why people keep playing it …?

It is not not dead, just in an unhealthy place. The classes need to get back to more clearly defined identities.

I have not seen anything compelling the really needs all that much GPU horsepower. We play old games because they are still fun.

new titles…such as vanguard, the 5th or 6th ww2 game in the cod franchise, with zero content for the price of a aaa game? or bf2042, same price, 4x less weapons than bf4 despite having no campaign because they wanted to focus on ths multiplayer? lol

don’t make stuff up

GPU have been unavailable for the last couple of years, not 15 years

Hearthstone is not 15 years old, but the game has benefitted greatly from the fact many games were delayed and the fact HS runs on a potato not requiring a new GPU

Blizzard games run on potatoe PC, and thay has helped them tremendously during the last couple of years where GPU were in short supply. But once GPU become available again, new games will simiply take over.
