I believe when it was firsted announced last year they said they were working on the PC and ios versions (youll even notice how playing cards is very drag and drop as if made for touch devices). no word on Android. | ||

Someone from Blizz said that they will support Hearthstone as an esport if there's demand for it, I think it only depends if the tournament scene grows enough (viewers and prize pool). So far now I havent heard of a observe match option, but they can add that later. | ||

Granted, Blizzard is terrible at giving their games eSports support compared to other well known developers, but they definitely have the power to do it. If, after release, there are several hundred thousand concurrent players and thousands of people watching streams of tournaments and good players, Blizzard could definitely monopolize on it and I would expect them to. In terms of the actual complexity of the game, that's the beauty of CCG's. The game is as complex as the cards available to the players and the imagination of those players. The fact that you can't play cards on your opponents turn, as of now, definitely detracts from the mind games compared to something like MTG, but other than that the ruleset is pretty competitive. | ||

I think they won't add any mechanics that can be played on your opponents turn. The game is very fast paced and fluid because you can only play on your own turn and i think they want to keep it that way. They can add different kind of mechanics to increase the complexity of the game. | ||

Not necessarily copying anything, just finding other things to diversify from minions. | ||

They could always expand on that without the need to actually be able to play cards on an opponents turn. | ||

Also many mobile games you don't want to have to stare at the screen when it's not your turn, that's why there is probably an easy to read log on the side of the screen depicting exactly what happened during your opponents turn. Of course instants/the stack are fun and extremely competitive, and the best when your trying to go for a game where skill is the best, but we do have MTG, I don't see why this game can't remain the way it is now, it looks super fun, and user friendly, newb friendly, etc More interaction is always nice, but they could develop new mechanics or new keywords that promote interactions/ways to outplay your opponent without bringing in instants/interactions that would ruin asynchronous games for themselves. EDIT: THat "turns are 15 seconds" card pretty much ruins this whole post though, so wtf blizzard. | ||

It could be because the card pool hasn't matured but when nl_kripp can consistently win with decks with stupidly steep mana curves I'm disheartened. Honestly, it really depend on the game and the level of the players. Some decks with just a tiny bit of luck ( not much ) can kill you in less than 10 turns. Even as early as turn 5. | ||

I personally think it's fine (balance of life/cards). Keep in mind majority of streamers are playing far from optimally. For example some just outright forget to attack (for free damage/no trade involved). Most still haven't figured out how to draft, much less order, priority, and value of a card. | ||
