I hope anything I say doesn't offend anyone but this is the internet so of course it will somehow:
I think it's great Blizzard was so quick to jump on board by adding more female streamers to their events. Good job on them for taking those strides, but at the same time, as a viewer, I'd like to see some of the players I'm interested in watching, like RegisKillbin or Brian Kibler. I get they're trying to go with more representation, but they're surely sacrificing some viewership. I don't want to say take out the female streamers or anything, but as stated, HS has 90% male content creator, so making the teams 50/50 in the name of equality just doesn't make sense to me.
I don't think the answer to this is to go back and only always invite the most popular creators. The answer is to simply hold more events so that they can have a healthy rotation of diverse creators to bring in a wider audience. If there was going to be another event in, say, two weeks, and Regis was confirmed to be there, then I'm betting you wouldn't be that disappointed about this one. Unfortunately, that costs money, and Activision-Blizzard still doesn't seem to really know what it wants to do with this aspect of the game beyond "promote the thing that just came out." Therefore, we get a trickle and more people are bummed that their favorite person isn't involved.
The Hunter mystery was pretty ridiculous, even with a step by step instruction. Obviously would never have cracked this myself. Huge cheers to the persons who solved it, can't really wrap my head around that.
Yeah, I commend the people who worked on getting the solutions. I could only solve the warrior one, and even then I had already read what type of puzzle it was. In the middle of going through the hunter one, I understood how people figured out what the goal was, but holy hell that had to have taken a ton of work to solve.
This feels like one that could be pretty cool, but doesn't really work out in practice. Maybe if it comes back around, they'll make it better. Maybe...
That's what I'm thinking, too. When I saw that they'll have three designers on the stream, I started wondering if there will be three major announcements, with each designer talking about a different one. Maybe achievements or the infamous battle pass could be the third?
Fingers crossed that he'll get back into casting some. I became a fan of his through his amazing game analysis before I even knew he was a former world champ.
It's not. He said it was meant from the beginning to be solved by the community working together.

Right! Just wanted to make sure there was no ambiguity. :)

Reading your comment, I was initially like, "eh... we'll see." But then I got to the end, and I'm now fully on board with your analysis.
I have made the same mistake many times. It's the fact that she's in the shadows! Messes with my brain.
Perhaps they are adding powerful demon buffs in the set? But geez, how powerful would they have to be to make this card worth playing?
The only Joe mentioned in the article you scrolled through to comment on...
Have we seen Joe before? I don't recognize him. Either way, I really enjoy getting to see different team members in these videos.
I think it's fair to debate whether or not this is the best version of the deck, but I would definitely not say the one shared here is "wrong" because
It's the token from the hero power.
This worked for me!

Oh nooooooo! :(
I got a Turalyon, the Tenured from a Cenarion Ward. Was not really expecting it to work on the piñata, but it totally did. EZ
I loved Cubelock. <3
Well, shoot. I didn't pick him, but now I definitely want him to win
