Don’t you follow the game at all? Fix the bug that gives endless rerolls for Malchezar and remove the spell for doubling stats from the game. What kind of cosmetic fixes are these?

In a recent game of mine, Open Auditions never triggered at any of the start of the turns. Real shame

Open Auditions is still bugged and does not discover at the beginning of turns.

I am loving the new quests in Battlegrounds. However, I dont know if you are aware, but one of the quest rewards is bugged. Open Auditions did not actually allow me to discover a buddy at the start of my turn. I know there was issues with this one before and it was fixed, but this seems to be a new issue.

@GnomeSayin Any chance you can say if the team is working on removing the player-run bots? That is all I’ve seen in nearly dozens of games in my climb from Bronze to Platinum. I am reporting the bots, but something has to be done. I haven’t played a real player and this is getting borning.

Glad to know about some improvements, but Battleground still sucks. Lag, crash and shxty experience.
