What is the little red circle for?

After I finish a game I look on the lower left hand corner and a little red circle pops up and then immediately goes away. I’ve never noticed it before. Can anyone tell me what it means because I’ve done a search and I don’t see anything about what it is and what it’s doing there

I read in a stream that it was to know when you have a disconnection but im not very sure…

I noticed it on my PC client, interesting. I hadn’t paid much attention to it when using any of my mobile devices, but I’ll keep an eye out now. I initially thought it might be related to the Firestone client, like some ad displaying strangely or something like that.

Check reddit, it is just a visual bug.

Or a way to be tracked….

RidiculousHat (blizzard staff) said this reddit reply was right

The red circle indicates if you are disconnected or not. It’s normal to see it post game. If you see it mid game, restart the client ASAP to get reconnected.

I want to add that if they put this “icon” what really needs hearthstone is a new button to force reconnect from the menu , the fact that players need to close game and lose most of the time waiting for it to restart again is what makes the reconnect very slow.

That’s too “complicated” for their brutally simplistic UI.
