I can understand that it might not be a type of game that everyone can enjoy, but you cant really know if it would be up your alley until you play it yourself. The games are rather quick, so id say just try it for a while and see for yourself.
Yes, it can get kinda repetitive, but playing with different heroes and trying different strategies will keep you entertained for a while. And they do change up the meta rather often (every few weeks) and then you have to kinda figure out the game all over again, so you can always play it for a while and then come back to it after the changes to get fresh gameplay again.
Like i said, it isnt for everyone, nothing really is, but until you try for yourself, how can you know it isnt for you? ;-)
Yeah, some old adventures, even Heroic, are not as tought as they were originally, since you can use new cards that make the bosses look like a bit silly. That being said, they are still tons of fun and even more so for someone who does not have a big collection, so they have to figure it out with the cards they have, that has always been the most fun for me personally. So if anyone else is buying up old adventures and playing them out, good luck and have fun!

Hi murlocleader, i guess our dedicated thread hasnt gotten much (any lol) traction yet, so i will kindly redirct you there, so we dont have multiple started. Just basically rewrite your post there, thanks!
Today, my all-time favorite video game turns 20 years old.
(I literally took this picture this morning when I woke up. Yes I do actually have two copies of it)
Gran Turismo has been my favorite racing game franchise, and one of my all time favorite franchises of anything ever since I got GT1. I first got GT2 as a Christmas present back in 2008, and it's nothing short of amazing.
Aww thats a nice story! ☺️
I have a similar one with Starcraft. It was one of my first games i got as a kid and for several years, i thought that Zerg campaign had only two maps.
Cause the second map you couldn win with 'kill everything' strategy, which was my only strategy since i didnt know a word in English at the time.
Imagine my surprise when i came back to it after few years being able to read the objective and get to map 3 😂 it felt so amazing yet stupid i couldnt figure it out all those years 🤣
I dont play SC anymore but still love to watch tournaments. Really one of great games.
Hot take: Achievements are a terrible idea. They wouldn't bring any new players in, and while they'd provide a short-term happiness boost they would lead to a subsequent drop in playrate because having all the achievements gives a perception of 'completion' which subconsciously discourages people from playing. And I say that despite the fact that I personally would like them a lot.
Frankly the things that would most improve this game are all external to the game and should be being provided by third-parties already. Comprehensive resources developed and maintained by noted professionals (entirely for their name-drop) to explain how game design works, how balance works, and how to judge the relative strengths of cards, would be a great improvement. Primarily because it would stop people complaining about things that don't need to be complained about, and stop them massively overhyping cards like Embiggen :P
You can easilly tie some reward system with achievememts and it would serve both current players and new ones.
Long term, HS needs an update of its crafting system. It just does.
Achievements are also definitely a thing that would help the game a lot. Blizzard is already tracking all kinds of stats for your account and you can request them via ticket on battlenet so i have no clue why are they still not a thing.
But i guess they finally put up card and card back gallery on their official site, something so basic you would think it should have been there from the start, but no... so maybe in few more years, we might even get achievements.
Damn, i thought i played more games than this :D But it is true havent played that much in a while, so here it goes. I do like the extra Health cushion Patchwerk provides <3
Carbot released the last StarCrafts episode today. If you didn't see it, go do it right now! It was amazing and sad at the same time. The saga is over, but it was hell of a ride! Thank you Carbot!
I'm currently on "hours played" 631 for Civilization 5, so...
I hope Vox Populi :D
My current favourite non-card game? Not sure if i would call it favourite, but i am playing Phoenix Point. Being a fan of XCom series, i was very excited for this game. I must say that im kinda disapointed with how it turned out, it is very far from the polished XCom we're used to and so far, there is basically no modding since the game seems like it was not built with that in mind (and boy could it use some fixing up), but i do love some mechanics the game introduced, namely the targeting system, that is super amazing. The story itself is kinda cool too, just the game as a whole feels a bit meh. It definitely has a potential tho, so i guess we'll see what the 3 planned DLCs bring.
No thank you. Id rather play my cards.
Ashe in the thumbnail gives me Sylvanas vibe :)

No Amalgam? Holy shit. BG will get interesting... and probably even more contested in terms of murlocs.
Ideal deck for when one does no.2 you say?:)
