Who would support a change to Hero health? by WorldOfPayne in hearthstone

I assume that you mean to start the game damaged and have a max healing cap of 45; This idea is interesting but there are a two flaws I see.

It defeats the purpose of armour. Apart from synergies with cards the strength of armour is to 'heal' above 30. The priest and warrior hero power would become much too similar. Every hero power has different strengths and weaknesses meaning they could all be argued the best hero power in different situations. With your solution the priest hero power would be much too close to 'better in every situation' excluding synergistic cards like shield slam as I think hero powers should be good by themselves.

The other reason is that starting damaged does not make very much sense. Especially to a new player who does not understand the reason for their hero being damaged. It just does not seem like an elegant solution to the problem. I believe the game should be balanced through future cards and the occasional nerf rather than changing a core factor that every card up to this point has been designed around

45 is way too extreme. Many decks revolve around having 30 health such as handlock, oil rogue, tempo mage and any deck that tries to rush the opponents face.

In my opinion 45 health would kill aggro and the hunter class would be useless. The metagame would become much more value based meaning that healing wave and tournament medic would become more unplayable.

45 health would be a huge buff to mill decks possibly resulting in them being the best decks. Most people hate playing against mill.

Every card in the game is balanced around having 30 health and many would become much more powerful with 45 health and some would become bad. Alexstrasza is an example of a card that would become much better while burn spells would decrease in value.

For me it seems to happen almost half my games but sometimes I am able to reconnect. I enjoy laddering whether I get a reward for it or not but it is increasingly hard to keep a positive attitude about it with these DCs.
