hexproof isnt hexproof
why did my creatures that all had hexproof get targeted by a spell?
are the destroy all cards that overpowered or did i miss something or was that player cheating?

An opponent used the card "Nowhere to Run" which does say target on my hexproof creature and it still had it's effect

Doomskar and other Wrath effects DO NOT TARGET. They simply destroy/exile/etc. Just because something is affected by a spell or ability DOES NOT make it a target. Only the word "target" in the spell's or ability's text makes it targeted.
115.10. Spells and abilities can affect objects and players they don’t target. In general, those objects and
players aren’t chosen until the spell or ability resolves. See rule 608, “Resolving Spells and
Abilities.”115.10a Just because an object or player is being affected by a spell or ability doesn’t make that
object or player a target of that spell or ability. Unless that object or player is identified by the
word “target” in the text of that spell or ability, or the rule for that keyword ability, it’s not a
target.115.10b In particular, the word “you” in an object’s text doesn’t indicate a target.
