Starcraft 2 player here as well :) #Eyenstyn2661
been playing since 2010, still newb
currently silver leageue
mostly playing coops, campaign and 1v1
Also Hearthstone casual player here as well :)
I also bought a Nintendo Switch recently and its a great 4 player party game device, I play Zelda but its much better to play on a big screen....
I was just happy to see someone playing similar games :)
It's really hard to get "good" (I've played on and off for 2-3 years and still don't feel competent!) but the matchmaking is good enough that you win about 50% of games.
I like that it's 1v1, so when you win or lose, it's usually completely your own doing.
I also like that you pay once and are on a level playing field with everyone else. All of the in-game purchases are purely cosmetic. I played Hearthstone for quite a while but eventually totaled up the amount I spent on it and promptly quit!
