Hello everyone, the message below is posted on behalf of our Battlegrounds Team and is available on Reddit as well. If you do not have a Reddit account, please post your questions in this thread and we’ll make sure they are seen.
Hey BGs friends,
Mitchell Loewen here, Lead Designer on Battlegrounds.
I’m running a Battlegrounds panel at BlizzCon this year and I’d love to answer some questions from all of you while we’re there!
So, what have you always wanted to know about Battlegrounds? It could be something like “How does a Hero go from idea to final design?”, “How do you choose which minions make it into a season?”, or something completely different.
No promises that we’ll be able to answer everything, but we’ll grab some of these questions and tackle them during the panel. If you can’t make it to BlizzCon, don’t worry, we’ll also post it on YouTube afterwards.
TIME
Please, finally make the turn time static for all players.
Mobile players are already at a disadvantage compared to PC players, and now they have to play against those who use reconnection.
For those who use reconnection, the turn time increases 2–3 times — it’s like cheating.
In the current meta, where pirates and beasts dominate, it’s simply impossible to compete with them.
Or playing duo for or against groups with rebirth and rattle — it’s a nightmare; there’s practically no time left for a turn.
Everyone should have the same amount of time to make a move.
This game is now a waste of time. What a joke, absolutely no balance again with latest patch. Ridiculous RNG swings. Way to go losers!!! Worst development team ever, all of you should be fired for this garbage. Clueless low IQ DEI hires all of you!!!
Me, my gf and some guild members really like Bgs, but guys this recent update… nerfing all classes HARD and leaving elementals and naga (but meh i can understand that) untouched is crazy. All games are hit elemental or lose to elemental or beatboxer in duos
I mean, I know it’ll never actually happen as y’all have spent the last 20 years catering to casuals, but it sure would be cool if y’all could cut animation time in half or more.
I spent 15+ years playing RTS games. Sure would be cool if I could, you know, actually utilize my full APM.
Hello there!
Been a BG fan from the very beginning, really appreciate all the hard work you’ve done.
I have several questions here and hope you can answer:
Can we get a separate client for BG? It’s obvious now that HS’ engine is ill-suited for something like BG, especially for APM builds so moving to another engine seems like a good idea for the future of the game.
As a Duos-only player now, what’s your vision for the future of the Duos mode specifically? We haven’t gotten any new Duos updates in a while now(no new minions/spells nor the balance of existing ones). Last update is especially concerning as it allows for some extremely broken combinations that are obviously there due to a lack of testing in Duos(for example, if you pass the golden minion from Silent Deliverer to your partner, it gives you a triple reward and it works with the Cho’gall sticker as well).
How do you plan new BG sets with the minion and spell pool? Do you try to imagine what builds would be possible to make with this minions? Do you have any requirements for the amount of minions of each type on each tavern level etc?
