What to do when you have to wait too long for your opponent in Hearthstone? At least one player has created a creative pastime.
The Fuse in Real Time
Every Hearthstone player knows that they are not only competing against the cards and the skills of the other person, but often also have to undergo a test of patience. Although all players have 75 seconds for their turn – which is enough time to think about their actions, but too little to really disrupt the flow of the game – there are plenty of people who like to let 60 or 70 seconds pass before they do anything at all.
The last 20 seconds of time are symbolized by the obligatory fuse that burns relentlessly from left to right across the screen. A common form of trolling is to wait until the end of each turn to drive the opponent out of the game out of frustration and boredom.
The YouTuber Markytecht is no longer disturbed by this. He simply fills the waiting time with a rather elaborate process that extends the fuse by a few units, but see for yourself:
How do you deal with the waiting time when the opponent obviously uses it as a provocation? Do you start something else on the side? Do you watch YouTube videos? Punch a punching bag? Write a news article for Mein-MMO?
