This isn't the article I wanted to write today. I wanted to tell you how much fun the new Duos mode in Hearthstone Battlegrounds is, having jammed a couple of games with my colleague on GamesRadar last night. We won both, partly because we're big-brained CCG professionals, but also because we were in Discord strategizing hard as we threw cards back and forth between our screens. There's a significantly higher skill ceiling to Duos, both in terms of actual APM and planning for two team comps simultaneously, resulting in a mode that demands concentration but also pays off in big laughs.
But if you open the subreddit today, no one is talking about any of that. Instead you will find thread after thread of white hot fury directed at Blizzard.
