Battlegrounds: Elementals are OP

Pretty much the title. They win every lobby. They need serious nerfs. Magmaloc should be removed from rotation.

So you’re playing Elementals every time they’re not banned, right?

How is this possible if they aren’t even in every lobby?

Every lobby they’re in, genius.

They don’t though.

What MMR are you playing at where people spam elementals and no one is smarter than that?

No, because everyone else is rushing them. I just aim for top 4 instead of trying to high roll the lobby on elementals. First place is elementals every time in lobbies where they aren’t banned.

6000-6300

My lobbies look nothing like yours. Elementals get owned more often than not. I haven’t even played them in days.

I don’t play NA servers, though, so maybe that’s it. I will maybe try that later and see if I notice what you describe.

I play mostly Europe (about 6k) and asia (about 7k)

Please do. It’s been every lobby for me for the past week. I’m getting really tired to mega minions with cleave and divine shield. Maybe I’m just unlucky? But it’s consistent.

Played two games just now with elementals.

Elementals won neither game.

Undead, beasts, and hybrid apm pirate/quillboar all took out the elementals. I won second with undead and first in the following game with the pirates/quillboars.

Just got demolished by elementals. Dont know how they could get all of them to higher than 30/30s and a couple were 100+/100+… My largest minion was a 70ish/70ish and the rest in their 20/20s…I dont get how they can scale them so big or as fast as they do.

They basically scale fast as heck and are a decent rush plan.

You get big minions of high tiers fast and start delivering 10/15 hits as fast as you can during the midgame. Finishing a good part of the lobby.

With that said this will rarely work on high mmr lobbies because it’s inconsistent and risky due to ramping too fast make you loss a Lot during the first turns.

But the 2 elemental buffers cant affect the whole board at a time. The main one gives +1/+1 to a random single minion when a elem is played, and the other is giving stats based on the tier of the elem it targets. Oh and the new one the undead elem that gives +1/+1 to all minions in the tavern for the rest of the game. But I dont see it that often to be able to spam it.

Highrolling Elementals are hard to beat and that’s pretty much the same for any tribe. Elementals don’t need any change.

Let’s be honest here, the mode is nothing but High-rolling victories. Skill has very little to do with the current game.

ehh if your only playing those you will lose.

1/1 to a random minion,1 hp on playing a elemental,

buff the board by 1
buff the board by played elemental,
buff the board on avenge,

1/1 for every time a elemental on your board that gain stats( that’s typically the one at 300/300 or even 3000/3000
deathrattle elemental and 1 to your hand.

elementals are a strong package but not the best, you have to mix minions if you want divine shield and poison. You’re not going to see a whole board with divine shield or a whole board with poison.

This right here.

There is so much more to each game than just buy this minion and roll around looking for that one.

i know these 2

Which ones are these? I know there is a high tier splash dmg and high tier windfury divine shield. but they arent buffers. Ive seen others with the gold guy with avenge but i have never once run into one in the tavern. IDK bout those others tho.

google hearthstone elemental cards for a nice list, I cant link.
buff the board by 1
Felemental
buff the board by played elemental,
Nomi
buff the board on avenge,
Dazzling lightspawn
1/1 for every time a elemental on your board that gain stats
Master of realities

My favorite Elemental build is:

  • Magmaloc
  • Magmaloc
  • Ball of Minions†
  • Master of Realities
  • Teamaster Theotar
  • Teamaster Theotar or Master of Realities
  • random neutral minion

† can be sold to have 2x Master of Realities AND 2x Master of Tea, rather than board locking self. Try to sell with Slinger or Gold-Gun if possible. Replace with another Ball after tripling a Master.

@Ngita

Thanks tho. I just dont encounter these when I play. Much like how I chose to play Brukan twice today in dragon lobbies. Only a single Blue Teragosa dragon between both games ever encountered. That one got me to first place in the first game, but never encountering one in the second game gave me a quick 6th place after the 2 leavers. I just dont encounter integral minions which means I dont tend to live to reach those super high tiers like 5 and 6. lol

But also, see below.

@ Scr0tieMcB:

I dont think Ive ever gotten that many high tier minions on the same board. You’ve got nothing lower than tier 4. I’m lucky to live long enough to get into tier 4… let alone buy anything if anything appears in that tier at all for me. I dunno why but I can be tier 3 for x number of rounds and refresh over and over again and never see a tier 3 minion in the tavern until I tier up to 4 or sometimes 5. Same for every tier level, I just dont encounter the same tier minions as I am until I’m well above it… or triple into it. It is frustrating even if I do reach tier 6 and not seeing a single tier 6 minion for about 5 rounds of 10 refreshes each time. (50 gold spent on refreshes that would be).

but why on earth would you do that? if you cant find things you want, move on quickly and take whats on offer? at least thats how i play.
