I consider myself an experienced player on both games, for some time I have been pretty active on HS, I have reached legend rank on HS for the last 3 seasons and without spending any money I have already played almost all competitive decks and heroes.
1. Depth of Strategy (SE wins):
HS compared to SE has a very limited set of abilities, like ability removal, bounce, permanent and temporary buffs, traps,come into play abilities, SE here brings a lot more like graveyard interactions, discard effects, attachments, armours.
2 Variety (SE wins):
As said previously in the thread, all 9 heroes in HS are playable in QM and tournaments, well not all 32 SE heroes are good, but almost all can get a good rating in QM , in my opinion about 20 are tournament worthy and each one of them has many different decks. Also the limited card pool on HS and the limit of 2 copies of a card per deck makes the games pretty similar since you always know 90% of your opponent's deck and what is he likely to play.
3. Gameplay (HS wins):
HS is more polished than SE, the effects are nicer and you can chain actions without having to wait for the animations, that makes it smother, for me smothness is way more important than the 3d game field but not sure if that could be done in SE.
4. Community (HS wins):
SE community is nicer and more helpful than HS one, but there are at least 100 times more players in HS so there's lots of activities, streams, tournaments etc.., well nothing can be done here.
5. Arena-Meltdown (HS wins):
Despite being very luck reliant HS arena is nicer, allowing you to play a sort of tournament with your drafted deck makes it more enjoyable, well we will have to see how this feature is implemented in SE since is a kicktarter reward.
For me the future of SE totally depends on accomplishing the kick stater features that if done right would put SE on top
