I agree that the instant shield (Mega block) is far too random and should be removed. The free heropower tricks you get are so powerful that they often decide the game. But I think the random 1-3 notch shield charge is fine, because you can play around the limited randomness and the built in catchup mechanism of the shield makes the game more interesting.
As for the Hearthstone comparison: Blizzard has in the past designed cards that are too random (e.g. Ram Wrangler "summon a random beast" which can put anything from Captain's Parrot to King Krush on the board). They have acknowledged this problem and generally no longer release cards like that. The only recent exception is Yogg-Saron, which is deliberately designed to be crazy random so it evokes the madness of the old gods. All other recent cards are of the limited randomness type.
Mega-block is also crazy random, and it happens on average every game. Remove it.
