Tips For Enjoying Hearthstone

Hey all, JAlexanderHS back again today to talk about how to better enjoy the game, as well as the most common threads that run through the discussions coming from those who aren’t enjoying their time.

It’s no secret that complaints around this forum and others are common. They are varied in their surface level content a lot, and everyone has somethings they enjoy and things they don’t. There are preferences and there’s nothing wrong with having them and voicing them. However, on a deeper level, there is a commonality among the majority of these complaints: they focus very heavily on times the opponent did something powerful.

People have their most fun playing the game when they win it. The largest obstacle to winning is, you guessed it, when the opponent does something good. Unsurprisingly, this appears to be what most complaints are about, even when they are framed differently. Even when people explicitly deny that’s what they’re complaining about. It’s not all complaints, but it certainly seems to be most of them. These complaints can be so pervasive people will even complain if they win the game, simply because it was hard after the opponent did something good.

Unfortunately, focusing on this aspect is often the way to have the least amount of fun playing the game. You cannot control what decks your opponents select. You cannot ask that your opponents only get to do things that are weak while you get to do what you want. You cannot ask that your opponent doesn’t try to win the game. You can’t ask that other people need to constrain their fun for your sake.

Focusing on what opponent does is not only out of your control, but is also doesn’t contribute to your own fun. Your own memory system won’t be a perfect representation of reality here either. You will focus on all the unfair and lucky stuff that the opponent did, largely without much mind paid to the fun things you get to do that won you the game and took away your opponent a fun. The more you actively focus on the opponents fun, the less you will focus on your own.

If you want to get your most fun out of the game, your better course of action is focusing on what fun things you want to do that you get to do. Find your joy in playing and choosing what you want, however you want to balance and trade off winning and playing things that appeal to you. These are the factors under your control. If you think about the fun things you want to do, and the powerful things you want to do, you can perhaps think with less anger about the things your opponent will be doing. After all, aren’t they doing the same things you are, figuring out what they want to do in the game?

To be clear, you absolutely can complain about anything and everything if you want. It just that this strategy won’t contribute well to you having the most fun when you play.
