EPTHearthstone to some extent, while showing the great potential just like SC2 did is plagued with even more issues, no rewards for reaching higher ranks - gold farming at 20, no catch up system for new players for whom it will take forever to collect the cards, no tournament mode, no arena tournament mode, 9 decks, hunter, no faster turns mode, unbalanced cards (undertaker qq), no auto-squelch (still lol), terrible chat system... And the worst part is that the Blizzard knows about the issues and needed improvements, but instead of experimenting with different ideas and changing things, they seem to be taking the SC2 approach of doing nothing and hoping for the best, which cannot possibly end well. I fear if that continuous, hearthstone will slowly grow for about 12-18 more months, than rapidly start to decline in player base and tournaments like SC2 did until it will be completely unsalvageable. Something has to be done until it will be too late.
Hearthstone issues must be addressed.

I'm pretty sure we all agree with you about the things we would like to change (besides the QQ you decided to put in which worked against the op in my opinion) but perhaps you could share some ideas on how to actually change them. Remember that blizzards wants this game to run on tablets and maybe even phones so keep that in consideration. I wonder if they will ever branch the the mobile versions and the pc versions apart though. Basically, I wish they would add more features to the PC version and maybe add a less graphic intensive options for the mobile versions. Here's wishing. | ||

Main concerns from me are: There is no chat. Need a true draft format (like how MTG drafts are held) on top of arena and other modes. There is laggy gui, inputs go slow etc. Ladder is useless. Need more modes like KotH/tournament mode so you can have fun with a group of friends and chat etc. Screenshots and replays need to save in hearthstone folder. Need replays. Need to fix this bug where it loads random video/games jumbled up on the boarders of the game while its open. Need decklists to fit on 1 screen for ease of screenshots, perhaps a toggle to text/details mode. | ||

I would just ask a question than. Are community in those games is less whiny, complaining than in HS ? Sure there are a lot of issues but who cares when you are winning. When you losing on the other hand... And ofc the biggest problem is warlock hero power. But how can you change that ? That is like admiting terrible design in the first place  | ||

You can't satisfy all poeple. Someone has to lose. It's the nature of this bussiness. | ||

The matchmaking is attrocious, why at level 20 do i meet players with 3 or 4 legendaries, i have 2 hex or 2 poly Is this the returning Bot players ?? Casual is even worse. This is getting to be a grind and not enjoyable. I see the issue in how it makes money. Id pay for annnimated cards, interactive battlegrounds. Id like card rewards for levelling up. | ||

Also, SC2 is a pretty phenomenal game, blizzard just happens to attract entitled teenagers who prefer to complain about their games, rather than play them. I'm not arguing that there aren't problems, but your treatise on SC2 doesn't really hold water. Well, really? I only got into SCBW in 2008 but still fell in love with it 10+ years after release. I thought that I was a RTS fan and got bored of SC2 in half a year. Just because it has no competition doesn't mean it's phenomenal, in my opinion. | ||

In "My collection" first open the screen "Choose your hero", so the player can choose the class first. 2. Then open the collection with 9 deck slots where the player will be able to build and save 9 decks for that specific class. 3. In play mode "Choose your deck" stick the 9 heroes on the slots and show an up/down arrow on each deck name to cycle through decks.

So we can swap decks around with ease. You are just describing a way to have more deck slots. A pretty ugly way, imo. | ||

In the play menu, is it possible to also have a deck viewer window? I have 6 priest decks and it would be easier for me if I don't have to go back to my collections to see what's in each deck. Save/load deck function is a good for PC users, but it's hard for the tablet users as you'll need to synced the files by yourself. | ||
