And to me, visually, asthetically, it's not even close.
All these new card games that have come out, whether we're talking about magic, artifact, runeterra , or the slew of others..... Whenever I watch a streamer or YouTube video on the game, because I am genuinely interested, they are so visually unappealing instantly, I just lose interest without even learning the game.
Yes, the hearthstone meta is boring . Yes, the power levels are too high. There's lots of things I dislike about hearthstone, but the visuals are so far ahead of the competition that I will continue to play it, and not even attempt any of these others games until someone steps up their visual game.
