they need to make counter play for poison. divine chield/poison is not a " catch up" mechanic its just the best Strat in the game it always the best it why dont they make poison immune or a minion that silence’s. something.

Poison is complete crap, I hate the way they use it in BGs. It’s the single biggest reason I cut my play time down by 90%. Its no fun to play against and every time I get the chance to play murlocs I NEVER draw that minion.
BGs is just horrible now.

it is very frustrating. i understand people like the appeal to having a " lottery type system" but Jesus i just want the game to be about stats some times. i want to play a game where having one giant minion can win. i want play big infernal, i like playing big murlocs, i like big elemental, i like big dragon. i really like Leroy and the fact he has to die to get the instakills feels so much more fair.

I think it’d be cooler if they made a Murloc that could give reborn instead of poison. Make it same avenge mechanic as the poison giver, but just do a reborn power instead of a poison. Or have something akin to a spellcrafter for murlocs. IDK, just i think poison ought to be retired and maybe only bring back the 1/1 neutral poison minion as a only poison option.
Or, and follow me on this, make it to where you cant have both poison AND divine shield. you have to overwrite one with the other, but no minion gets both, not even amalgam. and in a combat scenario where it could be given it but would have to overwrite one for the other, it cant be the target of that mechanic, only during a regular non cambat phase could the overwrite occur. That’d stop the cheapness of the Divine shield hero always going straight for poison murlocs.

Anyways the point of poison is to instantly kill units that massively produce stats like no other. Making people think when they build. Sure poison is annoying, but having an unbeatable minion that basically tanks a meteorite type attack is quite bad. And it will not only make stats ridiculously high, but the game can’t handle big stats that passes the game limit.
Sure you think that removing poison will solve everything. Go ahead and deal 900/900 units by pro players who knows how to buff their units very well.
think what, right now people just insta get poison there is no reason not too.
i dont think this is all, i think it would solve the problem with poison.
isn’t that the whole point of MMR… they will be playing against other pro players.

Yes that is mechanic and point of MMR, but like said if there is alternative other than poison; then I’m open to ideas. But poison is needed anyways for insta kill high units that cannot be killed by methods that need to take down. If they going to remove poison then removing divine shield is also needed. Divine Shield counters poison, but also divine shield can take infinite damage before taking actual damage.
Leroy Jenkins is good minion to take down high units, but when a taunt blocking their way then Leroy Jenkins is useless.
My suggestion to changing poison and divine shield is poison should be the number of hits on the minions will increase damage overall. Such as weapons like Cursed Blade. Infliction. Divine Shield should be how much damage it can take before taking actual damage. Like if divine shield can take 40 damage then the shield will vanish but will take the remaining damage.
The number of damage should scale 2x, 4x, 6x, and so on. Therefore the result of infliction is multiplied of damage.
Or make Divine Shield super effective against poison minions, but make poison minions always have reborn, but reborn without the poison. Kinda like the 1/2 mech reborn from tier 1 that gives +1 attack at end of turn. but instead anytime a poison minion is in combat with a divine shield minion they insta-die and reborn back to a base stat/1hp version lacking the poison. odds are it too will be killed off, but if the light of elune and the scarlet crusade be with you, it might be the last man standing. But imagine a full team of big murlocs all with poison could be answered with just a board full of the tier 1 mech puppy 2/1 divine shield.
just spitballing answers to poison.
But make divine shield super effective against poison then the game would just be filled with only mechs that have divine shield that does double the damage. It isn’t reasonable. Then people would just complain that mechs are better choice than all other races. Plus beasts, murlocs, demons, most quillboars aren’t usable. Cause they all wouldn’t survive.
There is literally two cards that answer any divine shield board. the 1/3 that deals 1 damage across the board, or the other one thats new and does 3 damage across the board. almost all divine shield builds fall victim to these minions and can hardly recover from them.
Like I always say, Poison in BG is just ridiculous. Without minions having to choose between attacking other minions or face, it’s literally +infinity ATK. You have ATK boosts of single-digit numbers, and then all of a sudden BOOM, +infinity like that’s not a ridiculous jump.
They really need to do something that differentiates Poison from ATK value in BG. Single-use (like Divine Shield), OR on attack only, or something like that.
Get this trash out of here you should be ashamed of liking the Leroy mechanic but complaining about poison. Instant one shot is trash both ways. Don’t encourage people to play Leroy it should be abolished.
BGs suck at the moment. Tribe synergy goes right out the window with how easy scam builds are now.

The BG meta is completely trash right now. It’s highroll garbage and scam.
I can’t count how many times I have a reasonable board and some highroll insanity kills me for 30+ damage on turn 9 or 10.
There’s hardly an endgame that doesn’t have some sort of scam tech leeroy or poison at this point, and I’m not down for all that.

the fact that any strategy is called " scam" even by the people who do it to win is such a bad sign of any game lol. so toxic, basically acknowledging wins we should not have gotten. so it feels bad when we get scammed bad.
LK with golden khadgar and reborn leeroy is one of my favorites.
This game is nothing but Highrolling luck now, it’s amazing how far this game has sunk.
