This sentiment, that the dedicated player base, and the loudest prevailing attitudes within it, are one of the biggest problems the game has. Resonated deeply with me.
I love Hearthstone. I play it a lot. And I can never recommend it to friends. From some players in game taking every opportunity to be as rude as possible, to the biggest forum on the game, the main Hearthstone subreddit, generally being an insufferable cess pit, to every twitter thread and stream chat being filled with comments ranging from non-constructive to outright hateful.
The community is so toxic it often detracts from my enjoyment of the game. Every time I talk about the game to a friend I always have to add "but the community is awful" I hate having to give that warning and it makes every recommendation feel like a poisoned chalice
