It was already fast before but this just feels ridiculous. You will be dead well before you can get to tier 6, or even tier 5 sometimes against someone who gets a strong early murloc build theres nothing you can.
Oh you got elementals? Too bad. You need higher tier for it to work and you just got steamrolled by people who highrolled golden murlocs.
Make the cost to upgrade less or give more health otherwise tier 6 is useless
This has nothing to do with tribes and everything to do with hero strength and buddies. You either have a buddy that gives you econ out the wazoo, or you die.
The mode is wrecked atm, and buddies are awful. How is it so difficult to understand that buddies which give free units will break the game?
If you like casino highroll bullchips, this is your meta. Roll a strong hero and make big things go brrrr.
But if you want agency in the game, this is not your meta.
BGs are unplayable bad. Awful. It’s not even fun to blow out a lobby when you honestly don’t have to do anything but sit there and watch your minions rake.
They need to get different voices in their design room because what they have clearly doesn’t play or like their games. The changes in this update have absolutely ruined the game mode.
Rarely if ever do i go to tier 6 and many games i don’t even go to 5. A good buddy can carry you through for a top 4 easily. You may only have to hit tier 5 and/or 6 to get some tech at this point.
Something i have noticed though is that with the lobbies running so fast when you get those odd number of players a free win against the dead player is huge and being the top player and missing out on those free turns can be a major issue at the end.
It’s insane that this is now the case as most of the truly powerful units are T5 and higher.
It’s just more proof that something is wrong with the game.
I like a mechanic where revert heroes back to 40 but after you win a battle gain 3 armor.
Do you not grasp how absolutely broken stupid that would be? Heroes that already are favored would build nearly insurmountable advantage that would further destroy the heroes that don’t scale early/build econ.
I mean, why don’t we just add extra damage to loss streaks, too? Like take two more damage for every turn you’ve lost in a row?
Seriously, that’s just stupid.
I do grasp how broken it would be. But adding extra damage to loss streaks? Are you trying to speed things more faster by doing that.
The game is already crappy enough to only go for high rolls and getting a decent hero.
What’s the difference? More health or more damage is the same thing when it goes to those already winning or losing, respectively.
Giving people who already have the advantage a bigger one is a bad plan for the game on so many levels. It’s a terrible, plan.
Then what is difference of playing it. It is like casino on drugs.
Supposedly a player who had bad luck on every game only get barely any wins, no matter what guides or streamers they recommend you to play is just pointless. If the game won’t let you win, then what is point of playing it. Casino like drugs.
100% buddies meta is casino. You roll a good hero or you lose. Don’t waste time playing bad heroes right now.
You can pay extra for better odds against the house, but it’s still just highroll or die.
But giving the high rollers more armor for highrolling is just comical bad.
The best choice is just to not play now.
Then the mode is absolutely useless; a pointless endeavor.
Almost comical of a mode.
In the current form, yes, it’s totally dumb.
I havent even been able to reach tier 5 yet in the buddies meta. It is indeed way too fast. And some people are getting their minions into the 100+/100+ stats before then. Biggest Ive managed so far was a couple in their 30/30s today… and I had ragnaros with golden buddy. Its just crazy how others can scale so fast and so big.
Last season was so good and this one is so poorly put together it really surprises me. I was so happy they got rid of the cards tied to the characters. And last game reminded me why. I just played a game where in one turn I gave two units 30+ health. only to be eliminated next turn by a 25 dmg attack.
Honestly I shouldnt be surprised. Seasons are so short now that it seems that blizzard needs to be pumping out content to survive. The quality of builds this season is just terrible im sorry.
I got hit for 38 on turn ten.
I took second place. Second place. Turn 10. Ten.
Whole thing was solved in ten rounds with a damage cap up to round 8 even.
There was no end game. ETC just removed the lobby.
Damage cap is useless in a world where 15 damage becomes common after turn six or seven.
thats absolutely ridiculous. thanks for responding. I just created a new topic because I was so mad about this season. I’ve never tried going to the forums before to complain about balance but they literally just ruined the game for me. and I want them them to know that this season is awful.
Agreed games are too fast now - rarely ever get to tier 6. It’s not fun to play right now. Hope they recognize this and put in some fixes soon.
I figured out how to make the game last longer. You play The Great Akazamzarak in a beast lobby and get some birds and a fat taunt. LOL Game is locked up and your opponents don’t get turns. The down side is that i don’t get this combo very often.
