Gotta love a game mode that’s pretty much no fun when you hit 5000 rating in battlegrounds?
might as well just concede when I get into a game as it’s pretty much instant loss since you can’t get the cards or play the right now and not the cheaters why by stacking.
any translation? i don’t get a single word
Once I hit 5000 rating or whatever in battlegrounds, It’s pretty much game over after 4 or 5 turns as I can’t get the cards I need and other players are just stacking stacks like crazy and toons have 30 or 40 health already.
5k is like 4k, people make a lot of misplays, if you’re stuck at 5k then it isn’t the game’s fault
Translation:
Once I face people who undertand the mode I lose fast and hard because I am not good at the game mode. I attribute everyone else’s success and my own failure to luck/rng instead of owning my role in the gameplay.
players at 5k don’t understand anything ><
the mode is broken and favor the typical blizzard elite players who pay money or play 24/7.
once you choose a type (beast, demons, etc), it should limit you to those cards for the rest of the game. Not mix & match.
you don’t choose anything, you build with w/e bob gives you, if you don’t understand that, you’ll always be stuck at low ratings
so basically swap out cards every turn? not a big fan of that but i’ll give it a try I guess.
or just pay money to get the perks like everyone else does…
The first life hack is you don’t “choose a type” in the mode until you get a core piece, which usually doesn’t show up until much later in the game.
will keep that in mind next time.
You can’t really force builds in BG. At 5000 people tend to start knowing what they are doing. 7000 is when BG requires some skill and smart decision making if you want to finish 1-4.
That isn’t to say there are no scaling, or balancing issues … there are. Some Heros are way OP, and others are awful. Sometimes you keep rolling 1-2-3 … over and over again, which is definitely frustrating. But overall, you can play this mode with enough skill to consistently get into the top 5, if not the top 4.
One thing I don’t like about the mode is that you can only learn so much from your opponents. In regular Hearthstone you see all the cards they play, what turn and in what order. How they respond to situations and other stuff like that. It’s very difficult to pick up these kind of things to try and improve from just playing the game against people who are as good or a little better in Battlegrounds.
If you would like to improve as a player, I strongly recommend watching a popular BG streamer. They are typically very good at the mode and you can learn a lot. You definitely don’t need to spend a dime on the mode to advance past 5k rating.
EDIT- There is a BG event streaming right now with the highest rated players in the world. The casters are both solid at BG’s themselves and offer great insight as well as explaining the decisions of the players throughout the game.
The perks just give you a choice of 4 heroes versus 2. If it were a question of “better heroes” you wouldn’t be losing every time.
Don’t pick murlocs every game
My rating is only 3100 and I’ve run into completely broken builds. Pirates, Poison Murlocs, Deathrattle.
The top players have a ranking around 15,000, and you think the people at 5,000 are cheating?
I wonder if people shame others for their 7 minute or 14 minute mile run/walks when obviously Usain (sp?) Bolt exists.
There is such a thing as a skill plateau. I reach mine consistently in ranked wild of Silver 5ish, I exceeded it last night by reaching 5800 in BG. I didnt even know the score in BG went above 6000, much less that 15000 was an option. I thought the tryhards were difficult in 5000-6000 bracket.
It is one thing to mock the people that claim things are rigged, but it is another to mock them for their score plateau. One is punching at an imaginary thing, the other is just punching down on an actual person. One of these is humorous, the other is not and is just bad form.
Play aggressively. Level up quickly. Even if they aren’t part of your “plan” grab the most powerful minions you can and don’t waste coins on rerolling until late game. Take advantage of your buddy. The buddy is your biggest advantage in hearthstone battlegrounds right now.
you probably understand the game as much as i understand your message
