Same here as OP, I quit too. Blizz cannot correct HS it's too messed up. The only way would be to be start over and release HS 2. Not holding my breath for this though but I am still checking the HS websites for any meaningful changes that could bring me to play again.
I hear that Legends of Runeterra is going live on 30th April. Is this date confirmed?
South East Asia could not access the Open Beta.
The one catch is they aren't launching yet in China or Vietnam, so hopefully you aren't in one of those countries. Otherwise: hope to see you Thursday! This game is SUPER f2p-friendly: just make sure to hit Vault Level at least Level 5 preferably 10 every week by Tuesday and you'll have a some respectable decks after ~1 month and a decent collection after ~2.
I live in Thailand so I'll be able to play! Thanks for the tips!
No chance. They would never change the costs. A lot will disagree but, the ratio is balanced. The more you reduce the costs (or increase the dusts), the less people will buy packs, and that is affecting the real world economy. And I think it would do more damage to Blizzard than help F2P players.
So, how to help F2P, but not affecting the economy? I don't know.
Ok that's a valid point. But if they could do it in a flexible way. Example: We know that legendary cards are a must in most decks specially the decks that matter in the meta. If they reduce slightly the cost of crafting legendaries then F2P players probably would be able to craft decks that don't have access to just because the cost of crafting legendaries is prohibitive. I know, this could affect negatively the economy of the game but it could as well as boost the game as more F2P players would have the opportunity to climb the ladder...money is important for a publisher but so is the number of active players they have..
Edwin VanCleef - it's time for Rogue to stop being able to steal wins with an early Edwin. This card is used in too many Rogue decks, and I feel a change is needed to keep things fresh.
Leeroy Jenkins - I'm torn about this. Leeroy I have a love/hate relationship with. Having a Charge minion for an aggro finisher is important to the health of the meta. But really, how many more years are we going to be able to put up with hearing "Leeeeroy Jenkins!!!" right before we die? It's a classic card, with amazing flavor. I appreciate everything this card is... but I think it's time to send him out of Standard.
I am not sure if you have read the reddit post. I just quoted what the streamers said about these two classes. This is not a debate about what fun is or should be. It's all about what to expect from the next expansion/rotation. What I noted in the comments and are interesting (and hopefully true) are:
Quality of the cards? Good quality of the cards, new archetypes, reinterpretation of some mechanics
Did Blizzard take f2p players into consideration? Yes, big improvements for F2p and for the cost of the game
Will the meta change? Yes for the rotation, for new exp and there will be other news that will help this
Which class attracts you most? Hunter , there will be a fusion of 2 mechanics that works great.
Mage? it's the most fun class
Priest? It will suck
Warrior? A tank
Rogue? I lost 8 games in a row against it
Shaman? Some cards op others bad 7/10
More fun class for you? Hunter
Druid? Undertone even if there are 2 or 3 op cards
Paladin? Will have a "new identity" that impressed me a lot 8/10
Is the new exp balanced? Yes except two or 3 cards
Is the new mechanic cool? It's very skillbased
Which is the class that will sucks the most? Priest.
I heard it's 3rd August 10 am PST...can anybody confirm? thanks!
OK I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Thanks! I have no clue of what the rules and the mechanics are. I'll jump into the tutorial and we'll see from there.

I am looking forward to try the game. Hope it's good.
This will be my F2P card game...Can't afford to put money in two games.
Already playing Hearthstone.
"Ignore Taunt"? Oh my!!!

Agreed I would add Malygos
They could revamp the dusting and crafting costs...

Read a post about some comments from streamers who attended the summit. Seems legit
https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/f7qnia/hearthstone_summit_news_from_2_italian_streamers/
Now I am excited!!
If this is true and Mage (my favorite class) is coming back (Tempo Mage please!!) then I will buy loads of packs
for the coming expansion...I love Hunter too it's all good!! Bad news for priest apparently..
And they finally did it....We have waited for this tech card for ages...actually this should be a classic card.
Those who complaining about this card are probably warrior or druid players....stop whining guys...it's like
a weapon removal any decent deck should have one.
Solid cheap, lifesteal, "discover dragon" card. Buffed with lifesteal...this card is gonna be in Paladin decks. Paladin is getting good cards
compared to mage (my main)...really disappointed..
Wow! Hero power + this weapon is 5 dmg per turn. Dragon Face Hunter is coming
Could be of some use in a Big minions deck, specially if your opponent is aggro...
A weak Doomsayer, but it can efficiently prevent aggro decks from developing their board in the first turns so it could see play..
Now this is what I call a meta defining card. It will be used and abused. This will be so sick that it will
probably be nerfed after a few weeks...
This + Hakkar, the Soulflayer is Quest Druid's nightmare.
tried can't open packs
