Hearthstone has become way too bloated. Many modes like duels, arena, tavern are very unpopular, yet you keep them around like dead weight. For new players the game just becomes too daunting, and you create a mess for your own developers who now have to manage way too many cards.
When your own developers struggle to properly explain what will happen to classic cards because you have so many modes, it’s time to remove some of the modes no one plays. Clean up the bloated mess.
Where’s your play rate data coming from?
All game modes except Standard and BG are played by less than 10% of the population.
The last time someone updated that Firestone graph, Duels was played by 3%, Arena and Tavern was played by less than 1% of population
One thing I’d like to point out is that plenty of dedicated arena players left the game entirely because arena had been put so far on the backburner that it was ridiculous.
i play all those modes all the the time. my least favorite are ranked standard and bgs. i do them cuz i have to for quests not because they’re fun to me. if i could complete every single quest without touching either, i would.
edit: still trying to figure out how to play bgs properly tbh. they seem way more complicated than they need to be.
If arena would be normally dual class and have better deck building, it would be my most played mode. So standard ranked is my best bet, until there will be mode that will get my attention.
Arena is my favorite game mode because it offers variety compared to meta standards builds, why would they remove it?
the problem with duels and arenas is that you need to pay in order to play, that’s why no1 plays these modes (when you look on twitch, it’s either bg or standard ranked)
and the weekly brawl, you play it once to get the 40dust and that’s it, there’s no point to play it again
because it’s a dead mode
That’s supposition. Do you have data? Blizzard says there are hundreds of millions of games being played in those modes.
they say whatever they have to say in order to make you happy
what do you see? bg and standard
People have tendency to believe everything what blizz says.
Far be it from me to try and disillusion people of their conspiracy theories.
I agree that duels and arena mode should be improved, so it can be played more…
But, what can we do as players? The developers do not read forum anyway… Or, maybe they read, but they won’t listen. Or, maybe they listen, but they don’t act.
They almost certainly don’t read. Why wade into an environment where so many threads insult you?

I do play 0 arena myself
