Will start by saying that I LOVE Battlegrounds and have put hundreds of hours in the game mode since its release. I have both climbed and tumbled its ladder as well.
With that said, it BAFFLES me that after all this time we still do not have any meaning behind the battlegrounds rating other than it being a number. No rewards, no actual ranks and some frequent ranking resets that wipes all previous progress.
I love this game and will keep playing but it would be really nice to have ranks or cosmetic rewards, especially seeing as they are selling a bunch of them and with other auto-battlers having rewards in them.
It’s just feels very strange to have a gamemode that they so actively work on but still no proper ranking system/rewards. It’s been hard to get my friends to play since there are no incentive other than just playing it.
It is still strange that it is attached to hearthstone, has nothing really to spend gold on itself, yet earns you gold in the regular game modes that you probably don’t play. Then has to exist on my computer even though I’ve deleted so many good games to make room for other games.
Thats and an “extra” hero choice after X wins at Y rating … BG perk would get 5 and without , 3 choice if you had that achievement for the season .
Maybe golden/diamond frames for winning X amount of bg at Y rating
Also more bg cosmetics that can be acquired by BOTH cash or gold
This keeps skins the $$ while unlocking more f2p goal and gold sink for bg
Yes something to reward playing a lot would be nice, I’m kind of ashamed to have so many games and not really anything to show for it, not much to boast about lmao
Is that surprising, considering how long it was in “beta?”
I agree with you, especially on rewards (FOR GOLD, team 5…stop being so friggin GREEDY!)
In theory, the regular mode is supposed to have some regularly available for gold, but they just keep dumping more in for just money. It would be nice to see some integrity and more gold options for a change. Light knows they can afford it.
So much this, as well as actually more chances to get ones you actually WANT to play.
Having them for cash at first is fine, so long as they have them available after a reasonable (EMPHASIS ON REASONABLE, team 5! As in, WE think reasonable) for gold.
That’s the thing, they started releasing some shop items to buy with gold but then BARELY made any while they keep pumping out real cash items.
The game already has a strong emphasis on the uncommon to legendary quality for stuff so why not just make it so the store items have those level of qualities dictating how much gold you’d have to pay for them!
The only thing increased ratings gives you is harder opponents. zero drawbacks for just conceding every match until you get a hero you want to play, which removes the damage cap on turn 1. Seems like they didnt put much thought or effort into it.
My main issue though is that I only enjoy playing battlegrounds and have nothing to spend my +20k gold on. Meanwhile my brother is constantly trying to scrape together 150g for arenas or epic duels, and i wish i could gift him some packs or arenas.
Lets see some cosmetics or anything battleground related that can be purchased with gold, and some benefit to rating (like an achievment at the very least).
That being said, i do love me some BGs and the return of armor is pretty sweet too, so great job overall and thank you kindly for the hard work.
Well, back to the battle, happy gaming people!
