Hello everyone - and especially Blizzard. I know this is maybe a common topic, I don’t usually follow the forums, but I just came here to express my unhappiness and my disgust to a degree (pretty high at this point), about the current state of Arenas.
I’ve been playing Arenas since 2014, it’s true, not very actively in the past years, but I came back to HS to have some little fun, and I’ve been surprised about the new format. I said that I should give it a shot. And oh boy, the more I play it, the more I realize how unplayable it is for a normal player.
- The price has doubled. I know the rewards are greater but…
- You can’t even get your money back most of the time, because…
- The arena cards and comps are so overpowered, that it’s chaos all of the time. There’s no predictability to other player’s moves, there’s always randomness and overpowered decks, so that you can’t really go on a streak, because every one or two opponents you encounter, they will have such broken cards that it’s an almost a guaranteed loss
All I’m trying to say is that it’s almost OBVIOUS, that Blizz made such an arena system to milk more money from the players. And It’s true. Double the arena price, make all decks broken (higher chance to lose before you can get your money back), and in long term, the loyal arena players will have to buy the pass with real money because the gold loss in almost guaranteed. It’s a brilliant money making plan
I know there’s Underground Arena - but the rewards are small
I know you can make money from other sources but it’s damn slow
I don’t play anything but Arenas and BG’s, so I don’t really know if this is the state of Hearthstone now - random, overpowered and leaving players with a huge dissatisfaction.
I want this to be my little complain and I hope there’s other people that are feeling the same.
Have a lovely day everyone!
