The only thing that can make standard HS fun

I’ve been playing for a while now and i’ve noticed that people only have fun in HS when things are fresh. People seem to get triggered less even if they lose, as long as they try fun builds.
The more time passes and the meta is stale, the frustrating the game becomes. I’ve seen it even with Twitch streamers… like for example Kibler, he’s usually chill and fun, but recently he skipped playing standard HS, because it triggered him. He’s not the only one.

So, IMO, the only thing that can make this game fun is a meta shakeup every 2 weeks.
And they don’t even need to do that much… a small buff, a small nerf, here and there can go a very very long way.

Change for the sake of change is how something over time goes from being good to being mediocre or bad.

This is exactly how the Iphone for example or Adobe programs get worse over time. They change things just for the sake of a new product even though the initial product was perfect and could have just been improved upon with new hardware instead of new features.

Dude, its a game… and you are comparing it with more serious things. Unlike those things, the game should be fun… this should be their first, second and third objective.
And btw, fun can bring cash as well, a lot more than frustrating the players.

so drasticaly increasing the game cost for those who want to keep up with the meta ?

thats a terrible idea…you may be able to but not everyone can

I don’t think it needs a massive shakeup every few weeks. I do think card design could be looked at though. Certain cards are the target of a lot of hate due to how frustrating they are to play against. Maybe look at why that is the case and use that to improve the design of future cards.

Your idea is just more of the same but with a meta that changes more often.

Look…

It isn’t that this don’t work but know what would really be more fun?

Blizzard to actually give a midfinger when things are balanced and care less about “experience”.
At first it will 100% hurt but it’s the players “job” to change the meta by reacting to it.

It isn’t for blizzard to never step in but we are already almost on a 2 week schedule for changes.

And for the seasonal stuff they can just shake the core set month AKA season.

Blizzard really took the fun out this HS and see a lot turning toward wild but how long before they get tired of that and stop playing altogether. Half the streamers all play wild now because standard just trash and like flip of the dice now. I mean all cards just so over top it not funny anymore, it’s just not fun play against this stuff.

Take cards now days all do is manna cheat or power-creep the crap out of this game. I’m sorry but think blizzard trying be like marvel snap or other mobile is going to kill HS in the long run.

Exactly… they go play wild because its fun to try new builds. Thank you for proving my point.

I think the opposite… they should release less content and test things out properly before release it… Killing the game by every new expansion is even worse than a stable meta… Balace should bring money, not OP mindless card design… and hell expensive avarage quality cosmetics… this is the wrong direction which they are following for a long time now…
