So is Hearthstone still a viable game in 2020 or is it just a meme at this point

So is Hearthstone still a viable game in 2020 or is it just a meme at this point

Wondering if now would be a good time to jump in or if I waited too long.

Just play Battlegrounds.

Wait until the new set rotation starts first.
Also it's still a meme but they finally introduced no duplicates for ALL rarities on cards packs now so at least it's nowhere near as grindy and jew-y anymore

I refuse to believe blizzard actually pays you to create threads about HS. Go jump off a bridge mental spastic

Yes

This.

Also they just rolled out a few things designed for new players including once you finish the tutorial you get a free “competitive” deck to start the ladder with. You also get a sequestered ladder until you hit a certain point so it’s hard for asshats to smurf you until you get the hang of it/get some cards.

Don’t spend money on it though - or at least give it a full expansion (4 months) and if you’re into it then buy the next expansion’s bundle.

The short answer is: like 95% of games it’s not to everyone’s tastes, so try it out and if you like it great. If you don’t it didn’t cost you a penny so cut bait and find something else.

Pros:
Cheaper to get into now
You get a free deck. Which is cute but they will just not stand up against someone who has equal skill but a better deck.
Cons:
Still dogshit.
Blizz still only care about standard
Wild is a fucking disgrace that is filled with degen aggro decks or decks that mana cheat around turn 6 and summon their entire deck.
And battlegrounds (meme gamemode) doesn't even use your cards.
After this week is over everyone will be running the same aggro bullshit deck with leeroy jenkins for the 24th meta in a row.

Just save your money so when the next flavor of the year card game comes out you can get a good collection.

You’re not wrong about Wild, but no brand new player is going to give a shit about the mode since they would have 0 Wild cards. I’ve been playing since KotFT and I’ve only just started giving Wild a go in the last few months.

And Battlegrounds not using your cards is also good *for a new player* since they have no collection yet. You’re on the same footing on day 1 as someone who’s played for 6 years.

Hello? Based department? They're finally adding a new class and it's op as fuck.

Kargath is a shit card and won't see any play btw

I prefer Teppen. Better mechanics, much less jewish, way better art.
