Just updated to latest version and I noticed a very strange bug. Minions not involved in the immediate action dying unexpectedly. Has happened several times on both sides. A spawn on N’Zoth dies and after his minions get boosted, a couple of mine die!

Yeah, I have no idea what’s going on I battles.And I’m playing on an iPad Pro, so I definitely do not have any performance problems requiring animations to be skipped!

If you feel like your device should be able to handle the animation, I would say the best thing to do is list the exact model of your device (there were many iPads and iPad Pros released over the years) and the iOS version.
I also see reports of people noticing the battle animation speed has slowed with the latest patch on PC. So what you see could be a combination of factors, something slowed the animations, and mobile has a safeguard against that, skipping some of it (which does not change the end result) when it falls behind.
I’m experiencing this on my Samsung Galaxy S10e (SM-G970F) on Android 10. That phone should be able to handle it. If there is more than one aminmation on a attack the next attacks entire animation is canceled and minions just disapear. I think the damage is still being dealt correctly, but it is hard to understand what is happening when you only see half of what’s happening. Blizzard I appreciate the try to speed up the animations, but just make them faster, do not skip them entirely.

I am definitely not experiencing any slowed down animations, quite the opposite. The only additional delay is at the start of the battle there seems to be a short delay, sort of like what would happen if facing Nefarian’s hero power. But then a bunch of animations are skipped in each battle.
I’m running on an iPad Pro 10.5 Inch (A1701), and have never experienced any lag or slow performance earlier. Was quite happy with the pre-patch speeds.

This is also happening for me on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. It’s identical to what was described above, there’s a significant delay at the start of a match, then all of the attack animations seem very sped up, and then towards the end minions just randomly disappear without any attacks having happened.
I’m sure the maths is right but it just looks weird and detracts from the game experience.

Same issue on an iPad Pro. Completely ruins the experience.
Same over here on ipad, android phone and imac.
It’s super frustrating, minions get just random damage.

Same issue on iPhone XR skips through the entire challenge phase almost I just watch the minions disappear as I hope I had good attack order and RNG and placement it really does help watching what happens considering placement is sometimes the difference between losing a battlegrounds and winning

Just tried my first game on mobile (android) since the new patch and same issue. Never had this issue until today, and I played a lot of bg on my phone.
I noticed that the first attack in a combat happens normally, then the subsequent attacks are all sped up to the point where you can barely tell what’s happening. The battle is resolving correctly, it’s just extremely difficult to follow what actually happens during it.
Hi, during battlegrounds after a Minion death from an attack another one of the same side dies unexpectedly.
Me too. I don’t see a pattern, sometimes the minions just die for no reason. It definitely isn’t that the combat is moving too fast or my animations are too slow.
Hi, I have the same issue on xiomi phone. Is there any information when the bug will be fixed?
I enjoy this mode but will not play it if the bug is not fixed.

Same issue, minions dealing damage when dying or perhaps when killing stuff. It goes super fast so have problems identifying what is actually happening.
Playing on a one plus 6
I’ve witnessed some odd things on iPhone too. Like the AI went face with a taunt on the board for lethal damage, and an invoke not applying Weapon damage.
Same here been having same problem on my IPhone 10 Plus. Since update minions die in a hurry can’t tell if it’s being fast forward or unexpectedly. And at beginning of each battle there’s a delay.
