So we go from a crappy battlegrounds full of the worst things like Trinkets, Anomolys and other garbage that takes a decent strategy piece of the game to straight up RNG garbage.
To now and even WORSE battlegrounds. With the Dark Gift and Activate crap. Plus the Trinkets to make the RNG even worse. Some of this is just plain broken BS with the new hero some how getting a Tier 5 Minion on first turn while you are still tier 1. It is like the devs are in their little offices going, Hey how can we make this game so bad and so lopsided that people quit playing and we just cater to the pay to win folks.
Come on can we please get back to the basics which is what made BattleGrounds fun. Lose the trinkets for everyone, anomolys and quests for all. Lose the Dark Gift crap and lets play the game as it was made to be played before yall screwed it up!
Played some games to see what the new updates were like. Left after 5 games . . . one game I high rolled so hard I felt guilty and quit. The other games were pretty bad as people were getting insane stuff. The mode is nothing but RNG gambling and thatâs all. Nothing new from the minds at Blizzard Hearthstone once again.
I like the new mechanics, but they did not test ANYTHING properly, when certain minions with activate can just snowball stats to triple digits in 3-4 rounds and they are T1-2⌠If you get 2 of those early, you get carried to T6 on a throne with people throwing flower petals at you. OtherwiseâŚ
I wasnât surprised, itâs more disappointment than anything else. I uninstalled this morning, I will wait another couple of months to see what they come up with next. But not keeping my hopes up. Back to D4.
yeah best is WAY overtuned. Honest a couple âfactionsâ if you want to call them that are pretty auto win once you get 1 card of their build. Beast is the worst overtuned and broken. But I can think of a couple others that scaled back
The only part of this I disagree with is the âCatering to the pay to win folksâ
Iâm not even sure how theyâd do that since the hero choices only have like 0.5 placement impact and the only thing youâd be paying for is a season pass to get extra hero options. Spamming re-roll tokens every match is not only dumb but doesnât even help you since at some point your skill and way of playing the game defies the statistical âbest picksâ and only you know what youâd do best with.
But otherwise yes, battlegrounds has had big problems and been a little degenerate and RNG dominated for a while, but never as bad as it is now. Thereâs no even subtle lines into a playable comp or nuanced interactions and strategies. Every shop is a straight up slot machine pull with zero synergies because 90% of them are trash. If you donât get a lucky early game into spoonfed satellite mechs or lobster you automatically lose. There is almost no way to navigate the shops since theyâre so full of trash and no other comps are viable.
And when you get an opponent who drew a minion whos dark gift is that they have over 20k in each stat, thats the kind of crap that is not fun. Thats not a dark gift because there is no trade off. if there was a negative effect for that minion then sure maybe but a single minion with 20k in each stat pretty much wins every match unless against locks or the poisionous non minion or leeroy, other than that your screwed especially if one of his augments is get a copy of any minion or once per game summon a exact copy then your just done for.
I hope by âHUGEâ you mean rolling back the entire season and starting from scratch. Thereâs no way in hell blizz is gonna navigate this stuff and make it playable since they donât even play their own game and 90% of their stats come from drooling noobs or theyâre gonna use their favorite excuses some more
âWe know itâs crap and we know the balance is completely unplayable, and weâre not gonna do anything about it, but trust us guise, weâre watching it closely and are still waiting to see how things will develop O.Oâ
âWe need to let the meta balance things for us âorganicallyââ
Theyâd never rollback to the good olâ days where getting even one minions 1k atk/1k hp was insane. If anything they will nerf incredibly hard comboâs to get and make undead stronger because they donât actually play the game and know whatâs going on.
Iâd change dark gift to free but everyone gets a minion at dark gift based on their current tribe on turnâs like 5 and 8.
Remove greater trinkets but keep lesser as they are not as game changing except a few which could be nerfed.
And then one last nerf is they could increase the cost of tier 5 and tier 6 by 1 to slow down matches.
We really should have just gone back to timewarp mechanics and definitely not trinket mechanics. This is as bad/worse as trinket + quest mechanics of before. Buddies were better than this. Anomalies were better than this. This trinket RNG casino is really the worst itâs ever been in the time Iâve been playing BGs.
#Remove trinkets
Theyâre complete crap and lately scripted to a completely immersion breaking degree where all they do is help you force hyper specific meta comps even harder and they absolutely know and intend it because the trinkets are designed to do exactly that. Theyâre not even trying to hide it. The stuff they want you to play is prescribed to you and thereâs no choice involved in getting creative with the stuff you have anymore. Nuance is dead.Pivots are dead. Making the most of what you have is dead. Skill expression is ultimately dead.
