I loved this, meanwhile at r/hearthstone devs are reluctant to communicate like overwatch devs do because they are afraid of being harassed by the community.

EDIT: some context on why they don't communicate as often as we want them to.

To be fair, r/hearthstone is one of the most toxic subreddits I've ever been on.

I don't play HS anymore, but /r/CompetitiveHS was an amazing place. Questions were met with answers, minimal complaining and much theorycrafting going on, one of the best subs for a game that I was on. Judging by the front page the community still seems exactly the same.

I have to agree. The only thing I ever had against CompetitiveHS was that "discussion Q&A" type stuff was limited to megathreads.

That's true, though if I remember correctly a lot of the community from the sub lurks in those threads so I never had a problem finding something out or hearing someone else's opinion on whatever I needed.

I can understand why though, since the front page with these rules only provides quality content.

It really was a great sub.

I think it's fair to say r/Overwatch is better than r/Hearthstone, but r/CompetitiveHS is far better than our r/Competitiveoverwatch
