Something changed with battlegrounds
I used to play the main game function a lot but once battlegrounds came out I pretty much just play that. For the last couple months I have noticed an issue with it. Minions of playable factions in that round of battlegrounds are supposed to be plentiful if nobody is playing that faction, because there are a limited number of each minion per faction and if nobody buys from a faction then those minions stay in the pool to be used. Recently I have been playing and noticed that when I am the only one playing a faction, say elementals, there are almost no elementals to buy and use. Even though I am the only one buying them and using them, nobody else is playing that faction. If there is a set number and if they are supposed to be showing up more when nobody is buying them because they are sitting in the pool to be bought, then where are all the minions not being used in that faction???? Why are they not coming up to be bought and used??? How come 3-4 players can all play beasts and get super strong with all the same minions and yet when I am the only player playing elementals I get crapped on and can’t find any minions to use?? If this ever gets looked into and changed I’ll change my rating cause I love the game but it’s like every other battlegrounds round I play I will be the only one playing a faction and get crapped on even though I should be the strongest one around since nobody else is buying or looking for the minions that I am.

Fun, but not what it used to be
Fun game, however the comparison from the first few expansions to now is ludicrous. My dislikes with this game now dont stem from a nostalgic point of view but rather a core change in how the game is played. I remember when a 2 mana card was 3/2 and thats it. Now a 2 mana card is 2/2 with a battlecry, deathrattle and lifesteal. Everything is just getting more and more overpowered with every expansion. Also, the game is now almost purely RNG based. Almost every meta deck is based on some element of RNG. Used to be a 5 star game, and while its still enjoyable, its down to 3 stars now (in my opinion). I think the worst part is just how far this game has fallen and the devs/blizz constantly ignore the feedback…but whats new with Blizz hey?

If you like card based games you will LOVE Hearthstone!
I have played hearthstone for over 6 years. It is by far the best FREE card game I have played, and I have played many! Many people complain about not getting cards or card packs to flesh out their playing decks. However all of you complaining must expect to get stuff for free or given to you. Blizzard gives away a card pack at least once a week, all you need to do is win in arena or the weekly brawl that changes each week. 1 win in either you get a free card pack. Look let’s face this head on Blizzard is a very large company that does a great job patching and creating fun content. They give Hearthstone away free, and hope that their fan base continues to pump money in to their company so they can continue doing what they are good at. That is creating and updating their games. If they stop earning enough to support their business, well not only Hearthstone is going away but many very successful and popular MMORPG games that blizzard also maintains and creates fresh new content often for. So play Hearthstone for free if you want you can still have a lot of fun with it. The only money I have spent is on their Battlegrounds pass which I play every day, and also on their story line content packs where you get lots of packs, and hero cards etc. In summary my opinion is give it a chance, if you like card games you will like hearthstone. Have fun!
