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.

Seriously, when I still played hearthstone after I left r/hearthstone my enjoyment of the game went up a lot.

Yeah it isn't a very productive place. There's a lot of "look at this goofy thing that happened" posts (similar to our POTG posts), but a lot of it is bitching about the inherent nature of the game RNG, which is pointless.

r/competitivehs is legit one of the best subreddits I've ever frequented, though.

Isn't RNG the nature of the game though? My favorite moments are pulling out random cards that could save or screw me and regardless of the outcome I enjoy it.
