Why play Hearthstone on computer?

Community Discussion

This game is available on phones, so why would you play it on a computer?
It should be more comfortable to to just play it lying down (or some other relaxing way) rather than sitting on a worn-out chair, hunched over?

It is easier to queue multiple actions quickly when you’re on the rope in PC.
The board has all 4 corners on PC as opposed to 2 on mobile.
Collection searching and deck building is easier on PC.

I play on both, it’s good to have the option to choose.

I’m sure there’s people out there playing mobile games while hunched over sitting on worn out chairs too. Neither bad furniture nor bad posture are exclusive to PC users.

The board has more doohickeys and thingamabobs to click on.

Does it matter how we play as long as you play the way you want and we play the way we want?

Cards are too small on the phone.
Lying on the bed a longer time makes my back hurt A LOT.
I generally like playing on the PC more (only have typical mobile games on my phone)
A better internet connection (don’t ask me why, but the difference between my bed and the pc is HUIGE despite them only being three meters apart)

^This!

And who says I have to sit on a chair, I usually play on Laptop, on my couch, watching TV and having a snack on the side.

Because I don’t have a phone, but I do have a computer.

If i can comfortably be on discord with friends, watching twitch, youtube, or a tv series while checking the forums from time to time all while playing hearthstone on my mobile, i’ll switch.

I don’t have a PC: I play on mobile because I don’t like having the option to multitask. I prefer to focus on one task at a time.

What kinda logic is that? My phone sucks, and my PC makes the game look better + the UI advantages. I like playing games where my big thumbs dont’ take up the entire screen.

No? I sit in a chair most my day, holding my phone up playing in my bed (why even would I) gets really uncomfortable without proper rest for my neck.

Good thing I make sure ergonomics is a big thing with my setup.

Worn-out? Nah, I care about what chair I use. My chair is comfortable as hell.

I never leave my house, or barely anyways. I’ll eb over here, watching Youtube/listening to music while being able to switch to another game like Minecraft on a whim with my PC, being able to play Hearthstone with prettier graphics and a better UI. PC is the Master Race.

I play on phone (if outside) and PC. I play on PC because:

  1. local telcom data is unstable, unsuitable for ranking cause disconnects
  2. better UI (complete board) and search functions
  3. I use deck tracker which is better on PC
    most importantly…
  4. clicking on things is just better (especially in deck building).

I believe you feel that way OP but it blows my mind that people do. I’ve tried it a couple times on my very nice, high end phone just for giggles and I think it’s far less pleasant than my PC.

My PC has a much bigger screen for the game; and another whole screen for videos, music or what not; it is in front of a comfortable office chair which is meant for doing hours of work a time, which is something I can not say about a bed; and I prefer the mouse to pointing.

Your assumption that all people using computers are sitting in chairs, at desks is an incorrect assumption. I am reclining on my couch, typing this up on a keyboard in my lap, with the display being my television all the way across the room.

The best part, when I crater you it shakes the whole house, because I am blasting the volume on my surround sound system. But I only have the sound effects on. I turned the music off ages ago. I am playing a music playlist on YouTube, handpicked by me, which is also blaring.

Gone are the days where everyone who has a computer is always sitting in a chair at a desk to do so.

It could be argued that I am even more comfortable than you are, playing at my PC.
