Don't worry, we added lifesteal or armor to every class! Now dealing 15 damage directly from hand doesn't matter as hanbuffed hollow hound just heals the hunter to full or a few elementals give the mage full plate armor over the max health! What do you mean that makes no thematic sense?
Hearthstone has become so stupidly op that stats don't even matter anymore. Rarely something survives a turn on board no matter the stats. You just care about the text, which usually is basically "Clear board", "Create board", "Fill your hand" or "Play this along some other obvious combo to get one of the other 3 but even more bullshit". Having those is fine, the issue is, they are so good at that that just seems like a yes/no state, instead of actual trades. There is no slow buildup, just stupidly high aggresion agaisnt stupidly good board clear every single turn.
I remember yesterday I was playing Elemental Shaman, opponent had no minions, I played the 4/5 Rush without realizing I had enough for the 8/8 Azerite Elemental instead. I shrugged. Ended up winning the game anyway. That's just one case but yeah, it happens here and there. It just doesn't matter.
Agree the power level is unstoppable. Unlimited discovers, big boards with low mana, unlimited draws, play everything with zero mana or cheat mana, otk without preparation, repeat same card 6 times.
The power creep honestly wasn't that awful until around Ashes of Outland. That was the point where the game went HYPER-SPEED just to keep up with how strong DH was even after the nerfs
I think that all criticism is valid in this regard. I remember seeing many complaints about the much slower pace of the game back then and it was valid criticism from their perspective IMO. But the same people are now telling the players who actually enjoyed the slower pace of the game to play another game instead of complaining even though their criticism is just as valid. They have every right to complain about how things have developed since then because they are the ones who got invested into a game that they really liked and that only changed for the worse from their perspective. Too bad that instead of trying to find a middle ground, both parties are just mad at each other for having opposing opinions and preferences (a ubiquitous problem nowadays). I do believe that the devs are trying their best to make everyone happy but it's an impossible task when most feedback they get is just extreme opinions from both ends of the spectrum.
I abandoned HS a few years ago because of the powercreep (I played exclusively in Wild) and the stress of having to play every time against the same "reprinted" cards cannot be explained! In my opinion you solve the powercreep by removing the cards from the game from which they were inspired for the powerup, better to leave the stronger cards than to have 10 cards with the same effect and some extras
Stop crying! Powercreep is not the problem with wild mode, but rather the existence of anti-game cards. Example: 1) That damn druid card that makes both players draw an additional card per turn. 2) The neutral's legendary steals a card from the opponent's hand and gives one of your cards to the opponent. Wild mode is full of decks that make the opponent burn cards!! WILD MODE HAS NEVER BALANCED! THE GAME OWNER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS MODE, HE JUST BANS THE PROBLEMATIC CARDS OR CHANGES THE EFFECT... The nerf in the mage questline killed the card! I'm waiting for the nerf in the warlock questline! But they will never do anything useful for wild mode! WILD MODE IS THE HEARTHSTONE TRASH CAN!! THE GAME OWNER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WILD MODE BALANCE!!
@@GunnuX they nerfed the warlock questline 4 times already. Not even to mention that the fact that you're complaining about that instead of Miracle Rogue just shows you probably don't play wild that much
@@Liliana_the_ghost_catI have never lost to miracle rogue before, on the other hand, the sheer amount of secret mages is just unbearable. It is the most uninteractive deck to play against. I hate it with a passion.
@@johantitulaer1052 honestly. Fair. Secret Mage is unfair due to Ice Block. However, Miracle Rogue is pretty annoying because they can so easily dominate the early game against any deck that doesn't have hard removal. Which is any non-control deck. There's a reason why they're the best in Wild rn
Thank you for this video, I have stopped playing standard and wild because of this issue. Huge board sways in one turn are ridiculous. You can play a fairly even game and boom in one turn your opponent wins without a really hard win condition. Nowadays I only play battlegrounds and arena and I don't intend to look back. Hopefully at some point I will accept the state of affairs and fully uninstall the game.
Thanks for reminding me that Theotar exists. I really needed to remember that this is a card that existed in this game at some point. ( Great vid as always btw ! )
I really appreciate the huge amount of effort you make on each of your videos, I enjoy them a lot! THANK you for this! I can really feel the love you have for this game.
2 things I have never understood- -Sure some cards have op effects but why are their stats high as well? -Who decided that heros would forever have 30 hp? It’s ridiculously easy to do 30 in one turn now. Hero hp should creep up with the card power.
Why dont you talk about the efficiency of the board clears and easy access to life steal for the most classes . When you cant stick a board you have to use instant damage to fill the gap
by the definition of balance in tabletop and ccgs, this is factually leading to issues. it technically does allow better balance, giving all classes more tools, but they need to tone back the aggression level by half at least. I made a post about miracle salesman on reddit, most people seem to think a 1 mana 2/2 with upside is actually balanced relative to the meta. OOF!!!
@@DavidSmith-cr7mb I remember when Miracle Salesman first came out, most people who rated the card tunnelvisioned hard on Sif synergy while I was practically screaming 'dude it's 2/2 for 1 with an upside as an option to cycle for 1 more, is nobody going to address that'
I think the game pacing was way faster back in 2014 even if you were playing against slower decks such as control warrior simply because there wasn't too many cards with effects that would take up too much time on their effect resolution. If you put horizon's edge against knife juggler just as an example, the fact that knife juggler is easily removed and will resolve all his effects automatically while horizon's edge can't be removed in most situations and has to be manually activated (which doesn't only mean the player has to click on it, but also have to think if he should use it) makes horizon's edge take way more time to resolve. This kind of effect complexity cards gained along the years and gets more and more common nowadays obviously takes way more time to resolve than the simpler effects from back then. And people would tell me "yeah, right... how about yogg or shudderwok?" But we all know that these cards were notorious because of that, are one of a kind, are lengendaries, supposed to be finishers and these also were not from the early hearthstone, more like mid era hearthstone or so... definitely not just some random rare card that could fit in any deck
Just my opinion , designing the game ending game in 5 turns seems like an approach to cater the mobile game market. Comparing playing against control druid or control warrior which makes me holding my phone 30 minutes just to end 1 game like before, i would prefer play a game that ends within 5 minutes while waiting my public transport to work. However, this will dissatisfy those players who played the game for long, as it will cause the gaming experience into something totally different. It is like at first 2 players fighting each other using a club and people are having fun on the club fight. However as time goes, the game introduce rifles, or even infinity ammo plasma rifle with auto target function, which turns the club fight into a gun fight. The feeling is even worse when you are using a club against an atomic bazooka player which destroy you and all of your belongings very easily if you are just holding a club. Yes, with some dirty tricks, you can still beat the atomic bazooka player when timing is right, but it is not fun to play against the atomic bazooka player like this. it is tiring and boring to play the game as the fight is extremely unfair. it takes you so many club hit and effort to beat the atomic bazooka player, but all the atomic bazooka take to win is just hitting you with 1 shot, which can be very easily done with splash damage. Not everyone who likes the club fight will like the experience of gun fight as well, hence the frustration.
You’re not entirely wrong but battlegrounds is hugely popular and if you make top 4 it can take a good 45 minutes. I only play mobile and I’d say 80% of the time I play battlegrounds and 20% of the time I play wild.
Dora makes a good point, in a game this old, power creep is something that's nearly impossible to avoid. Its seen in many card games and even some games in totally different genres. Hearthstone tried their best in the early years but eventually knew they had to cave in and make Wild a thing. Similar deal with meta and meta mentalities, which kinda tie in together to make the game seem like its 'worse' only on that merit. Blizzard's made plenty of mistakes with Hearthstone over the years, and it's easy to rope powercreep/meta in with that, but they're really a different monster, one that no game developer has ever truly defeated, and maybe never will. I still wish they could do better, but accept that they can't, in this case.
While you are correct in that much design has removed restrictions on powerful abilities, I think it's not really grasping the full picture. You mention in the beginning of the video that power creep has been a topic since the first expansion, but you don't talk about what kind of discussion that was. We had power creep that was obvious but sort of funny to point out. The basic set has a 5 mana 5/4 taunt, while The Grand Tournament had a 4 mana 5/4 taunt. Very obvious that one was just better and clear power creep. While you had iterations on designs like the ones shown in the video, a lot of discussion was around why power creep was even a thing in a game where you could change older cards. Why waste a card spot in an expansion with a slightly improved version of an old card instead of something new? The focus on power creep has shifted over the years, most notably in recent expansions. The reason is because the power creep isn't just small iterations or shifts in a card, but rather massively pushed power spikes. It's not just that they aren't as restrictive, but they are game warping with little to no downsides to create actual balance. Often cards have no downside what so ever and are pure upside. Often cards create oppressive or polarizing game effects. Or often cards don't even cost mana anymore. It's hard to compare something like knife juggler, which could cause some frustration but also had plenty of ways a player could influence the effect, with the likes of Doomkin which just straight up stops people from playing the game. It's two completely different games at this point.
Reska and cards like it that steal their opponents cards should not exist. Also dk legendary excavate brings reska back with reborn, life steal and bigger stats. Also why can priest still make copies of titans or resurrect them while on the other hand they nerf shatter bc they say ppl shouldn’t be able to have multiple of the same titan Imagine
Good example of powercreep over Sylvanas, for sure. Costs (1) less for each minion that died this game in a class that's expected to lose minions (in case your opponent's minions weren't enough). The stat line's worse but that's arguably better because the Deathrattle triggers more easily. Not to mention the Nathria Sylv which does what you want instantly and targeted. Not as good as Reska, of course.
Horizon's Edge: Location: summon a 1/1 with rush and give it deathrattle "if this dies on your turn deal 3 damage randomly to enemies and reopen this location" THIS location, you can't use it to open both. They have to have minions on the board, like before, but if you're unlucky and don't end up with 1 hp enemy minion surviving to trigger it again they kill your 1/1 next turn and that location use is wasted. Also freezing trap is a counter (minor). The location does still need to be openable (I don't play this card but I know it's true otherwise it's useless) "once per your turn any of your minions dying will open this". You need to manage your minion deaths and attacks a little better, but its still good.
The issue is that they are designing the game to completely cut out control decks. And is obvious why. They're trying to cut down on how long the average match takes, presumably for the wide mobile market. Essentially, they're designing Hearthstone for people who wouldn't normally play Hearthstone
It's almost mandatory for most epics to be memes tbh. Look at warlock they had one a few expansions ago that was like destroy a mana crystal for each player....why? Who even gains from that? And this expansion the one opposite or renounce darkness is just trash
These are nice examples how power creep improved.. but the problem is still the same.. the hidden mechanics behind the cards.. like too powerful removers and their recycle options, deck destroy, OTK, too powerful aggro, mainly with charge.. battlecries trigger 2-3 times for some classes.. building up 20 armor on 30 HP in the first 5 rounds, insane amount of resource generating.. these are the mechanics which are killing the game in my opinion. The only hope left is the card rotation and the hope developers will stop this madness already.. I believe they would like to create FUN mechanics for players that is OK.. But they are just not considering how frustrating can be to play AGAINST these for the Opponent and not just the winner needs to have fun.. but also the loser as well.. If it sees no chance for winning at all.. then there is no fun..
really, if we had indirect counters that can stand on their own for their own decks it might not be as bad. for instance, for all these random damage effects, think gurubashi berserker. you can't just ignore it and press the random damage button, your face is going to hurt. then of course you have whirlwind and inner rage to make it hurt on it's own and other cards that do the same. the problem is that it didn't do good enough when it was released and now we don't have ANY cards like it. the problem of shunting ALL the cards into wild instead of the outliers.
Horizon's Edge not even including any Rune requirement seems to undermine the whole point of DK. I don't mind there being a universally good DK card for any rune build, but did it have to be THE BEST DK card available? Horizon's Edge is in every DK deck I have regardless of the strategy, it's just that good. I do love it and it's fun to play, but it is pretty ridiculous. I don't know how you could balance it without completely wrecking it.
What Blizzard dont understand is... U dont have to Power creep on a game with standart format. Because we have to buy the cards anyways. So they dont has to be OP: Power Creep kills Yugioh and it kill kills heartstone. There is nothing positive about it. And Blizzard dont get it. I dont have fun playing the game for like 5 months now. Its way to overloaded and fast. I quit 2 weeks ago and i dont regret it. .
Im in legend. And tbh i disagree with the current state of standard... games definitely are not ending on 5. Games go late more often than not. The tuning of some cards is a bit baffling, horizons edge i would definitely agree is a silly card.. but to say games normaly end by turn 5 is a bit of stretch
The last somehow good expansion for me was sunken city. Hearthstone needs a ranked ladder without all these busted cards which make the game cheap. A real ladder with skills, trades, read enemy cards, interupt, play around cards e.t.c. Right now its a fun game not serious ,most times doesnt feel like pvp anymore everyone play his cards like solo adventure.
Sadly this makes collecting cards no fun. Why getting cards that we can't even play? And for me, this is the biggest problem in the game. Collecting nice cards but never using them because they are too weak.
Why is everything in German now? I mean i am from Germany but the translation sounds weird. I mean what is the "Arkane Rakete"? In Englisch it must be Arcane Rocket and i dont think that this is right.
I stopped playing ladder since power creep became too insane. There’s just no fun at all for players like me who much prefer control style decks. We’re just constantly getting run over by agro and such, complete garbage. The Arena is the last refuge for players like me

Im in legend. And tbh i disagree with the current state of standard... games definitely are not ending on 5. Games go late more often than not. The tuning of some cards is a bit baffling, horizons edge i would definitely agree is a silly card.. but to say games normaly end by turn 5 is a bit of stretch
The last somehow good expansion for me was sunken city. Hearthstone needs a ranked ladder without all these busted cards which make the game cheap. A real ladder with skills, trades, read enemy cards, interupt, play around cards e.t.c. Right now its a fun game not serious ,most times doesnt feel like pvp anymore everyone play his cards like solo adventure.
Sadly this makes collecting cards no fun. Why getting cards that we can't even play? And for me, this is the biggest problem in the game. Collecting nice cards but never using them because they are too weak.
Exactly even in wild you will see same pirates (rogue, dh, priest) and same otk decks.
Please reconsider using those static sound effects, they are not pleasant for ear nor they are nessesary.
This location isn't nerfed? This is so broken
Why is everything in German now? I mean i am from Germany but the translation sounds weird. I mean what is the "Arkane Rakete"? In Englisch it must be Arcane Rocket and i dont think that this is right.
I stopped playing ladder since power creep became too insane. There’s just no fun at all for players like me who much prefer control style decks. We’re just constantly getting run over by agro and such, complete garbage. The Arena is the last refuge for players like me
I HATE RENO LONE RANGER

Real changes only come about by disliking and unsubscribing. Stop feeding the grifters
THE END IS COMING!
I quit a loooong time ago. This game was annoying way way way before 2024.
