  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Maxwell, Mighty Steed (Sir Finley’s Buddy) would give the wrong reward when the Hero didn’t have a Buddy.

You will do anything but remove BonerEnder from the pool huh? Not even bump it to tier 5 so you can’t Eyes it?

Hey, can you guys add “Teron Gorefiend + Greybough + The Great Akazamzarak” to the ban list in UD lobbies for duos. San’layn Scribe + bonerender interactions are really toxic.

Thank you for leaving Bone render, he’s so much fun. But why are the matches so long in between turns in duos.

I am also surprised that they haven’t fixed the reroll bug in which, when you reroll a hero, the re-rolled hero only has its picture instead of the picture that has been favoured
