Hearthstone is free hmmm...


A ton? Magic was the cheapest hobby I've ever had (about 8 years ago). Even as a pupil you were able to afford it... I tried WH40K last year, that costs a ton of $$$. Now I'm playing paintball...


Man you've chosen expensive hobbies xD

Wow 70.600 viewers for Hearthstone. O_o

Not bad. Don't really get the appeal of it as an eSport but Blizzard are on to a winner with that.

Calling that game an e-sport is an affront to gaming. The skill cap is so abysmally low that the game plays itself. The design team even says as much in the interviews: The choices the players have during games is an illusion, and that makes it attractive to players of all (and non-existent) interest and skill levels. Anyway I rather talk about Starcraft, where real skill exists, despite the poor state of balance.

But only Terrans have real skill in SC2

True Story. Zerg and Protoss play the SC2 equivalent of Hearthstone.

Here's an idea for you. If you played PvP against someone and all your units had 1/1/1 upgrades built into their statline, you'd have an inherent advantage in every game because you'd trade so much more efficiently. You could still lose a lot of games against good players. You'd even lose a lot of three game series and get eliminated from tournaments simply because of variance and build order losses. That said, you'd also beat a lot of players who are better than you, or played better than you, simply because of the built-in advantage that you enjoyed.

What I said may sound obvious, but these sort of advantages exist for all races from time to time and seem to go in cycles, and there's no need for us to not act like they aren't there. Terran at the moment are playing the +1 race.

I suppose the negative reaction to someone voicing this fact is that noone likes to be told their wins are tainted. It's in our nature to think we're skilled in what we do, and that's coincidentally the way Hearthstone has been designed. Everyone who plays it and gets win streaks will think that it's because he's playing so well, when it has nothing to do with it at all. In Starcraft the situation isn't nearly as dire, but the differences are emphasised at the pro level where everyone are so good. Any (unfair) advantage might be enough to tip the scales heavily in your favour. It won't be enough for a scrub to beat a veteran, but it will be enough for a pro to win tournaments against other pros who thought they were well prepared and more skilled.
