The BIGGEST mistake Blizzard made for these modes was not making all the old expansion packs cheaper. More people would have played for sure. They also would benefit from wild catch-up packs. It's too little too late.

That has always been HS's biggest issue. From the get go they should have put in an accessible way for people to obtain older sets. (I personally think either a pauper version of cards that can't be dusted and packs cost 10 gold and are given away extremely frequently) As of right now the average player has to decide between being remotely competitive on standard versus making old cards so they can play these dead modes. What an easy choice, it's a perpetual cycle.

nah, they need to update the dust quantities, theres too many cards and too many sets releasing thats you have to increase the drops so people can actually craft more than one of the mandatory legendaries they need, this was fine at launch when there was only 100 cards, but theres 11 classes now, the pool is too big to keep pulling randoms

If they delete the mod I will quit the game after 8 years. 😢 Duels is like a cool sandbox mod for me, it's so much fun and offers endless possibilities for tactics.

Biggest thing that detracted me from duels was not only the focus on wild decks, but they never EVER updated the main heroes of the mode. All the professors were from scholomance and had hero powers and treasures around the time of darkmoon faire's introduction. They kinda tried it again at alterac with vandar and drekthar, but it was only two heroes to pick from, wouldn't it have been cool to replace them all with like all the murder suspects from nathria? It's hard to get excited with the league of explorers coming in if they're in the same pool as all the professors i'm sick of seeing with their same hero powers and treasures that get no new support

Not that they could do something about it like: do better marketing for it and overall HS things, making older packs cheaper, frequent updates etc. At this point new modes will have very hard starting points if they ever announce another one.

The biggest problem with Duels was that it was so heavily reliant on the card collection. Battlegrounds is insanely popular because you don't need a prior collection to play it. If Duels had something like draft decks where you can play with a starter deck instead of needing to build one yourself, it would be amazing.

I love Duels and play it pretty much daily (Duels makes up for 80% of all modes that I play in HS). I am VERY surprised by the low number of players honestly because as I have already mentioned I play Duels all the time and I always find games nearly instantly or within a few seconds; its nothing like Twist where it takes forever to find a match. I am very upset because I crafted A LOT of cards for Duels and I bought pretty much every single expension and mini-set specificly for Duels and NOT standard. It's heart breaking... I'll probably quit playing HS once they shut it down unless they fix up arena and get REALLY creative with it. In current state Arena is unplayable for me, I always get crappy decks and go up against what feels like meta decks (most of my Arena run end in 0 wins 50% of the time and 1-2 win the other 50%); with Duels I always at a minimum get a few wins and about 1 out of 15-20 games even get to 12 wins (most games average out around 4-6 wins). Anyways, very VERY sad about this news; I've played Hearthstone for around 4 years now and I can honestly say HS is the most playedf game EVER (1000+ hours) and I have a Switch, PS5 and a high end gaming PC but nothing had its hooks in me like HS Duels did. I'm devastated... but at least I wont be wasting anymore money on new expensions and mini-sets but I'd like too, if they kept Duels around (even if not updated like Merceneries).

Duels has been on its way out for a while now, given their balance changes and lack of overall freshness (OG classes still have their original hero powers... Some of which are very specific like the Warlock one that revolves around Soul Fragments which is a singular expansion mechanic) I'm hopeful that the removal of Duels means Dungeon Runs become a thing again, since DR's stopped when Duels came out since it was the "New Dungeon Run content" but maybe I'm unduely optimistic. On a side note, I really hope they let us obtain the Duels portraits, at least for the 10 OG classes (DK ones have been used as Scamesium "Rewards" and the multi-class ones could be confusing). I'd always hoped that you'd get them as a reward for going 12 wins with the class or something. But if Duels is being removed, that won't be possible. But it would still be nice to get those portraits.

Yeah, the meta was often horrible lately (due to lack of balance patches) but I still enjoyed playing a little bit of duels at the beginning of each expansion. I think one of the main reasons for outright removing the mode is, that it was an excellent gold grab for f2p community. It wasn't too difficult to average 8-10 wins if you had even some idea what to do. Duels is the reason I've been able to f2p for years now, arena is much more difficult. Mainly because people tend to retire bad decks early there and of course bots. In duels you atleast have to play 3 games to reveal the passives.

I know that they added the Death Knight classes since then and they added Darius (which saw about 3 months of total viability in its entire run). Aside from adding those classes, no new passives were added, all the cool ones tend to be niche, lots of signature treasures seem like they're worse than normal cards (wand of dueling, ol' faithful, Reno's Hat and Lasso, that one warrior one for amalgam decks). The problem overall was that there was just content removed and viable decks constantly getting removed so the power just slowly went down over time. There was a certain period I remember which was a bit after Nathria released where there were a bunch of good and cool decks. Not really any class was entirely unviable. Unfortunately, one deck was too strong and would otk you consistently turns 1-3. It was enabled by a passive that reduced spells by 2 but overloaded each spell by 1. The solution for this should have been to make it a tier two passive as it would have made the early otk impossible but keep a high-risk high-reward card available for the future. Instead, they just removed the passive entirely. Following this, many cool passives got removed or turned into "Ultra-Rares" meaning they never saw play in any optimized decks. I think duels would have been a great game mode if they just didn't constantly remove cool cards.

I love duels, one of my favorite modes and I have crafted quite a few cards for this. So sad they are removing it.

genuinely dont understand why they cant just keep duels without updating it like with mercenaries. even if they removed heroic duels.

Damn... duels was my fav mode, I loved playing for achievements or trying wacky stuff that wouldnt work on ranked. It also helped me with 500 wind on dk! Will be missed a lot

No point even playing hearthstone unless it's battlegrounds. Nothing else is worth the $investment required to be competitive for 3 months.

That's irritating... I often use duels to complete one of the weekly quests when it comes up, especially when heroic brawliseum is the current brawl. Not all brawls are worth playing, and battlegrounds takes too long.

Unfortunately we knew this was coming. How can anyone expect anything different from Blizzard after what they have done to the Wild format. Years of the community begging for changes to broken combos and they barely get scraps. Battlegrounds is basically a different game in the same client so that doesn't really count but every other game mode since Wild has flopped and just gets little to no support after their initial marketing push to get more money. Arena dead. Solo Adventures dead. Mercenaries dead. Duels dying soon. Twist likely close behind. All they care about is ranked standard and even then that care has significantly faded over time. And of course none of the costs are getting cheaper despite Blizzard apparently not supporting these different modes.

Let's be honest, the game is in its death spiral. It might linger around for the next couple of years, but it's glory days are well behind it.

I am so sad. Duels is fun for me as a secondary mode for me to switch between. I like traditional hearthstone, but duels gives me a fun way to find alternative way to play sometimes.

We need dual mode . So we can play 2 ranks 2 modes at the same time. Man i barely have time to play 1 or 2 hours a day at max. I then just focus to get some achievements or quests

If they want to get rid of modes, they need to get rid of Mercenaries. The biggest problem with Duels was it was too much of a mix of 3 modes, Wild, Arena and Battlegrounds, you only need to play one to get your fix.

Just freeze the mode. The problem is coding the interactions with the new cards right? Then don't add any new cards. Just leave as it is so we cna play it. And unnerf the treasures. The mode is broken and that's part of the fun

Duels is 1000X better than Twist and 1,000,000X better than Mercenaries. They better come up with something to make up for this or they'll be losing me as a player :(

Exactly right. How can anyone reward this bullshit with monetary support when they just keep deleting new modes? I was genuinely excited for the 10th anniversary of Hearthstone, and then shit like this happens. O remember when they first gutted the bucket system of Duels, that was some bs. Why even bother investing?

As much as I loathed the crazy power spike in certain deck builds, this mode was actually enjoyable to get away from the same ranked standard decks. Such a shame.

I feel like they could make duels more popular again if they brought back the themed loot pools instead of the expansion themed loot pools i used to be a duels player until they made that change cus it just annoys tf out of you

Any word of what will happen to Duels-related achievements? i.e. Will prior achievements still show on one's account?

I like Duels, it’s the only mode I care to play, and I liked the format since Dalaran Heist where they improve the draft a deck as you play system. I’m probably just playing BG and Solo Adventures from April onwards. I’m just glad now that I didn’t return to HS and buy anything with money! 😅

I can only assume either it would take longer to get rid of mercenaries mode for no real benefit or they don’t mind keeping it up and having some sucker spend real money on the in-game shop while duels is tied to the regular store.

If you don't understand the effort in the maintenance of a PVP focused mode with a PvE focused one... I'd say it's not them who are messed up.
