Yes, the in-game reports absolutely matter. We agree that it'd be great to give you the sort of "someone you reported got banned" feedback that other games do, but we haven't had the time to build that yet. Please just trust us that it does help though.

The botters are fighting us pretty hard, but we're fighting back. We're continuing to ban bots, it just needs to be done in waves. (Though we are planning to increase the frequency of those waves soon too.)

(I do report if I can remember to but I'm not very sure that it's worth the trouble).

Yes, Reporting does matter, a lot. Please continue to do so!

Me and my friend think this looks really like AI art. And I thought this already with several other cards this expansion, anyone else? It's very off-putting.

Hi! Want to chime in here because I've been seeing more and more comments like this recently. Our outsourcing process for card art includes feedback from many qualified individuals (some of them also contributing card artists!) and significant iteration. We see these images being created from the sketch phase to the final product and everything in between. As someone else already said in the replies, the artists are credited on each card, and I encourage you to go check out their other work. :)

That's the one I got for my reveal, but I assume that it's just a mistake.

The Mini version is a Mech, looks like we just had an error on this asset. Whoops!

Patch 28.6.2, launching today, includes the following changes to Standard and Battlegrounds.

Hearthstone Updates 

Dev Comment: We have two goals this patch. First, we want to weaken some of the meta outliers. Second, we want to experiment with smaller buffs across several cards that are rotating out of Standard soon—especially in classes that are currently weaker—to see if we can give them one last hurrah. Our hope is that players will try out and enjoy some of these strategies during these last few weeks before they go. This is an experiment, so we’ll be tracking player sentiment and play data to see if this works out. 

The following cards were adjusted to be less powerful: 

Sludge on Wheels 

  • Old: 2/5 
  • New: 2/4
