Can you tie in Hearthstone? [duplicate]

I'm curious about some of the hearthstone rules, specifically about when the game is considered a tie.

So, for example, what happens in the following scenarios?

  • If a warlock plays hellfire when both heroes are at 3hp or less.
  • If your opponent has 5hp, and you have 3hp. You play a leper gnome, and then hellfire.

So, what happens in such occasions? A tie? Both opponents lose? or what else?


Yes, a game can be a tie. This happens if both players are reduced to 0 health at the same time. It can also happen if the game lasts beyond a certain number of turns- 50 if I recall correctly- which is extremely rare as both players would need to survive the fatigue.

Certain server errors can disconnect both players simultaneously, which also causes a tie.

A tie is displayed as a loss to both players but isn't actually counted as a loss. This means that neither player will lose any rank and this will not count towards their three losses in arena.


Yes you can.

I was unable to found an official source but i'll leave you this Link from a good source.

When you do tie, it is shown as a loss for both players but does not count as one.
