I agree with this post for the most part. Sadly it is really hard to create a positive community in a competitive game. You cant just expect people to sugarcoat anything when they are playing a frustrating game. Yea it is the game that is frustrating. It is a card game that you have no control over of most things but yet the outcome of the game is decided on wheter you win or lose. That being said Hearthstone has always been salty. Its not 2021 that changed that. However the promises of the game is changing. Instead of a game that I could play lets say in a bus or vacation, the game is getting faster and faster. Mana is getting more obsolete and minion combat is out of discussion. You cannot expect the same people who played yesterday to be happy today. Which Im pretty confident that they weren't that much happy yesterday too. This expansion was kinda like a decent of dragons in terms of feels. Which also had a huge backlash for most standard players. The difference is that instead of nerfing older cards they went directly with the galakronds. Something that they are not doing for some reason today (Im talking about the quests). And also please, you cannot have an entitled community. The game is for the player, the player is not for the game. If the community is raging mad the first place to look for a cause is the game. Not the people.
