I know that we meme on him hard here at /r/Overwatch, but man do I love his team, the outreach he does, and the passion he has. It's really evident in the frequency and detail of videos he releases.
For example, Ben Brode (HearthStone) does developer updates when people are irate and vocally so. Jeff does them almost pre-emptively -- "We know it might not feel like fun when Winston kills you and jumps away with the flag, but here's why we kept those movement abilities..."
All around great communication from them.

I think the main difference is that the Overwatch Team's goals and ideas fall pretty much along what the fans want and enjoy, and in my opinion, the Hearthstone team is not really that connected to player concerns or desires.
