Worst time to play Hearthstone?

Community Discussion

In your opinion, when’s the worse time to play Hearthstone? And not meaning “during a tornado hurricane hurr durr” kinda answers.

I think it’s between the morning hours of 2a.m. and 7a.m. The North American servers become ”HEAVILY ASIAN INFLUENCED” if you get what I mean. You get “players” with names like HuangBadBad (yes, that’s the real tag. Can they make it anymore obvious?) to really generic names where “they” don’t even change after creating the account. Names like robotninja or AzureBear followed by a looooong string of numbers because “they’ve” created sooo many accounts.

So when’s your worse times to play?

When you are tired. I found out that trying to predict when opponents play badly is unreliable. Eg I tried early morning in EU and tryhard players from Asia were logged in.

I agree. I can’t count how many times I’ve lost a game because I was tired, not focused and played the wrong minion, cast the wrong spell, or lol even smacked myself with a spell and end up defeating myself. That’s when it’s time to go nap/go to sleep.

When I said I faced tryhards, I didn’t generalize about their origin. Their origin is coincidental.

Today was my last day in the game forever. Why? It’s just New Year’s in the game, and what did I discover? Cards I’ve had for a long time (legendarys) just like that, I don’t have them anymore, and I have to craft them again? I’ll pass

You nailed the worse time as far as the time period when there are fewer casual players playing, which can mean that you will run into fewer easy players to beat. Consequently, peak traffic playtimes are when someone is likely to encounter a greater diversity of player-types, which can translate into more easy wins against casual players or less experienced players.

This ^ is more of an issue in arena due to barcode accounts, unless you think Asian players are more difficult to beat somehow, because their ethnicity or culture makes them better or more competitive.

There have been periods where pros have noticed that some Asian groups favored certain types of decks more (like Aggro), so they would adjust their strategies when playing on the Asia server or at times during the when Asians were more likely to represent a larger percent of the player base, because most people from other regions were more likely to be asleep at those times.

That’s just prejudice. A name that sounds odd to you means nothing. They’re probably just better players than you.

The very fact they don’t speak your language, makes it more likely to get a nickname that sounds odd to you.

obviously this user that I see omnipresent never mentions barcode accounts, those that you see of the type “redorc” as nickname are barcode accounts, along with those with nickname oasfnaiofnQAfmws. The thing that he never mentions things that could discredit the image of blizzard is very suspicious…

Barcoding exists, but many see false positives very obviously. For example several legitimate players here report than they get consistently 6 or more wins every time they draft.

If you don’t get 6 wins regularly like they do, then you might want to step back on the conspiracy theories.

Those would be core set cards, which when rotated out, leave your collection unless you already had them before the core set launched

I have friends who have been playing for 10 years and have made legend several times in the past, in free to play arena no one goes above 4 wins on average, there is no evidence of what you say, more and more you seem like a guy paid by Blizzard to stem the huge chasm that is being created around Hearthstone

Going legend is not that impressive. I guess you call liars all the people who report they get 6 wins regularly. That’s a trust problem you have against them and I can’t help you with that.

Anything after Witchwood expansion. From then on, the game has gotten worse and worse. The devs know they’re phoning it in.

Completely agree, since Brode left this game, become garbage any expansion more quickly than the previous one. (he literally worse in every aspect, even in the graphics animation of golden cards, etc) To not to mention those horrible 3D animations of some legendary cards and portraits of the heroes (this game is reduced to the shade of itself) and I have not yet mentioned even the total lack of balance, that always promotes druid/rouge/shaman… (because of the free to player toxic community that will complain of everything else, so being a dying game we will feel compelled to reward them for their complaints, then constantly druid top tier 1 to any expansion and nobody who dares to complain about, lol, this game right now is just a joke for kids,They will call Nerf to the “Chicken Rank” deck which, however, garbage charts such as the free hs replay will be able to show at the top of the ranking,For various factors that if you ask I will also be able to explain, I prefer to omit them for now otherwise the post would become too long) is now a game where you can keep away, The problem of this game is his toxic community (the same that now controls the development, ergo the worst scenario that we could imagine for the health of this game) in short, heartstone right now is just a lost of time…(When the developers will return to work with their independence (as in the times of Brode, precisely …) maybe I could go back to making a thought (since the game has its potential) but I don’t think it will happen, since to ensure that this happens a resurrection of popularity for this game is required, Only in this way could the developers find courage ergo independence (given the direction undertaken I do not see hopes for this) At one point the community even believed that for the health of the game a destination was fun where there are only OTK (obviously the developers satisfied them) lol, so bad (by memory I don’t remember precisely what expansion it was)
