I cannot imagine a single hearthstone player that has played more than a few games to act all happy sunshine after every game.

There's no stats on the murloc card and the text is intentionally illegible. The animators probably didn't want to make new models for every murloc in a usual murloc deck which is a shame.

I don't really know what to think anymore of Activision Blizzard either. EDIT: Also, it may have been too far for me to call them "Lazy" for not making new models but I still think they could've done one better. Maybe pay the artists more, give them more time, go through more iterations of the story to make it a bit more polished. Everything can be made a bit better. The short's amazing as it is already but I'd give it a 8/10 from a Hearthstone Player + Artist perspective (also knowing what Blizzard is capable of). Everyone could always benefit with more ambition to go beyond. AGAIN, THIS IS AN AMAZING SHORT, FAR BEYOND THE QUALITY HEARTHSTONE USUALLY GIVES US IN ADVERTISEMENTS. I'm sorry I called them lazy, and I know how much work goes into every frame, but they can do better.

One of the most wholesome videos I've ever watched, just filled with complete happiness

[@raultororomero9079]

I saw the notification, played the video, and stopped it. I had to plug in my headphones, the animations Blizzard makes are too good just to watch them like any other video, they deserve to be enjoyed fully. Thanks for keeping uploading these animated shorts. ^^
