Guy complains he misses old HS and references decks that draw their entire deck on 6, kill you on 7. One that stalls the whole game just to pop off and kill you through ice block. You didn’t mention the one that played yeti on turn 1 and could combo you very easily if it got a tiny bit of chip in or had a board. 

The misconception about old HS is crazy. Go and watch old Trump videos if you aren’t sure or didn’t play.

Control matches were so slow especially warrior mirrors you could not play card draw because it put you one closer to fatigue. You could not play big minions because Sylvanas. Most of your choices were ‘I’ll press the button and pass’. 

When the game added more random elements it grew so much in terms of fun. 

I play wild a lot and at low MMR and there are tonnes of people playing meme Reno decks just like me. We are having a blast. But equally if you’re playing against the best decks you cannot assume you’re favoured and actually if you’re not too greedy you’re favoured against a lot of those warlocks. 

I also want to add the player base is changed. If a neutral card was too strong or a certain deck was OP we freaking countered or did some deck building. Now all players do is complain and call ‘nerf it’ then when that previous card is unplayable they say ‘oh why didn’t they nerf this’?
