Two years of testing went into the toilet. Two years you stripped and stripped the game of fun mechanics and left it into a state of brutal on Deploy removal/boost mechanics, where sticking a card that does something interesting on the board is the challenge of all challenges. Two years you continued to ignore fans feedback and did stuff that was important only in your heads. Gameplay feels as repetitive as ever, as every faction plays pretty much the same now, because we are forced to put the same low cost neutral cards in our decks. The games DRAG because we are forced to play longer rounds cause of the draws between rounds, because of new mechanics with which you must do often 3 or 4 things per turn and because of slow animation. Game needs tremendous amount of balance, starting from the Leaders Abilities and the said Leaders mulligans (seriously, it is a total and complete FAILURE in this department), through cheap cards that shut every single engine down, to how many things should be allowed for a player to do per turn (Leader+Artifact ping+Unit ping when you have 3 Artifacts and 2 "pinging" units on the board, for example). Absolutely NO ONE asked you to remove 2 rows from the game to give the remaining 4 (+2) rows pseudo-meaning and implemented mechanics that would be so much more meaningful wit 6 (+2) rows like Reach. Absolutely NO ONE asked for A CARD GAME to feel like a BATTLEFIELD. And yet it's neither fish nor fowl at the moment, as we have (ugly) 3D "Leaders", playing 2D cards on an isometric board. WTF? At least remove the frames and the backgrounds of the cards so they can look more like UNITS and not cards in the dirt. Said Leaders are constantly moaning and groaning and are so annoying I had to turn all the sounds from the game down. And I loved listening to the cards' voicelines. Speaking of frames - you can do better so Bronzes from Golds be more distinguish between each other. Have more to say but am out of characters. I miss Gwent
