I have been playing hearthstone since launch, with a two year break because I lost interest. I will be dropping it the second LOR will come out and here is why:
-RNG: This did not use to be such a big issue, but lately it is too much. A lot of games feel like, opponents draws card `x`, you lose. Random generated spells from Lackey’s, drawing into key cards like Zephyr, Dr. Boom, flesshaper+mutate on an early game etc. You can analyze and think through your turns all you want, just to get 3@$#!@#@# by a lucky draw or lucky generated card. Of course this has always been the case, but not as much as lately.
-Balance: It does not seem like Blizzard really cares. Shaman was already overplayed before evolve was brought back temporarily, now it’s just nuts. If you bring back some cards, why not bring back the best cards for classes that are struggling like warlock or mage? At the start of HS I did watch a lot of the big tournaments, now I only log in for the free packs. I really am not interested in another Shaman vs druid vs priest vs warrior. The promise of monthly balance changes in LOR is great.
-reward system: outside of the quest, the reward system is really, really poor. 30 wins equal one pack, which usually gives you random stuff you don’t need. In LOR this felt so much better.
-emotes: Yeah, I don’t like emote spamming people, why is there still no auto squelch button in HS? I think it is only possible when using a deck tracker. In LOR I was triggered by their system.
I think a lot of people are tired of the RNG in Hearthstone, which has increased significantly in the last years. LOR certainly appeals to me. Even in the 5 day BETA I had more fun than in the last 5 months of Hearthstone. Especially the dumb move of wild cards in standard with everyone playing even more shaman, was too much for me after 5 years of HS.
The game feels amazing! I played many games over the weekend. Then today you log back into HS, only to close it again after the first Evolve Shaman sjitfest
I have played HS for 5 years and skeptical to all new games, but I got a Key for the LOR and find it pretty amazing. All the information on this site is pretty awesome as well. Lots of information and so fast, just after launch. Keep up the good work.
After this weekend's season play, Blizzard have to do something about the inner fire / divine spirit combo. I know it's been around forever but a lot of games were either decided really early on or was just a waiting game on who drew it first.
It did not make the games fun to watch.
Exactly this. It's time to go for those card. Why is cleric even still at 1 mana?
The nerfs are spot on. Luna on 4 or 5, boom on 7, one drop with arms on turn 3 for priest. All are too hard to get back from. Just drawing these cards/combo`s increase your win chances by 100% and feel too frustrating to play against. All classes will be fine after the nerfs and maybe we see more classes now. Just surprised that hunter was not touched as it will probably be top dog.
Don't they have anything better to do than nerf a class that is not even played on ladder except by Zetalot? How about fix that brainless mech hunter deck instead..
Of course when you have lethal against warrior, he gets a 3rd or 4th devastator and he stabilizes. Boom needs to go. Give all classes an OP DK or none. Also remove mech tag from devastator. Kill a 8-10 mana minion AND a 4 health minion for 4 mana and in one turn is beyond %@%$$%$%
Anyone else enjoying the new season? Either be dead by druid/lock/shaman or hunter on turn 4-5 or play 30 minutes against warriors with their 29 removal cards+boom….either way you are !#@$!!$1.
Warriors and hunters....so low skill, such high reward. 60% of ladder. When are they going to nerf that shit? So many other good games around. They need to work harder to make this game not such a pile of imbalanced #$%#%@% skill should at least be rewarded a little bit. Day by day my interest is declining due to this 3$#
Warrior and hunter totally dominate ladder play. Hunter is even worse than the undertaker hunter from 5 years ago. It would not be that bad if the decks were difficult to play, but they are to forgiving. Even very bad players can navigate it to 90-95% effectiveness. I think that is wrong.
As for DK heros, either give all classes one or none.

That Mutate package is outrageous. Whether or not it's nerf-worthy remains to be seen.
The combo is so annoying and to powerfull. Lots of games you win by playing this on turn 3-4. No skill or thought needed.

-remove all dk, or give all heros one
-nerf hunter mechs and animal companion.
Warriors and hunters are raping the ladder, but hey, let's nerf mage
