Hi, just a short Battlegrounds suggestion for the developers, if you like the idea then be sure to share this post and market the idea.
I am not a frequent Battlegrounds player, and there is one thing that particularly makes it unattractive to me: the time between combat rounds later in the match. I understand that there is a lag time because the match has to adjust the timing between each combat round to ensure that everyone has the same amount of time so that they can fairly complete their team. However, it often happens that when waiting for the next round of combat, that you have to wait 30, 45, or even 60 seconds or more for your next round. I think there is a possible solution that would speed up the matches significantly.
Why not add a “Ready for the Next Combat Round” button, so that once I am sure I have finished adjusting my team, I can click “Ready!” Then, the next combat round can begin as soon as my opponent either (a) uses their “Ready!” button also, or (b) fully uses the allotted time that they would normally have under the current system setup. This way, players that don’t need to make any adjustments can just signal for the next round as soon as they are ready, saving everyone time in the process.
It’s just an idea. What do you think?
I think this would be a great idea if there was one tweak: the ready button only appears if you have 0 gold left. I would hate to misclick and end my turn before I was “ready”.
This keeps being suggested but I always think the people suggesting it are just gonna come back on the forums and ask about reporting players who never hit the button because people get mad about roping in ranked lol

for the people upset about roping - just have the system determine no valid moves can be made which will then auto ready the player (not enough gold left - no hero powers etc) then the people without zero power hero powers cant rope - if they have a zero hero power they can but at least there are only a few of those - for the ropers that want to sit and watch the clock to time spending the last gold - they are losing having to spend time timing gold spend lol
Although the one thing I didnt think about was bio breaks - i have 40 secs to go take a piss - nope! lol

I don’t think an automatic end would be good.
Even if you have 0 gold, it’s still possible that you might have stuff in your hand that you want to sell/swap, and people might want to shuffle the order of minions on the table. Getting cut off there would be very annoying.

It would never actually occur because you can move minion placement around infinite times, so there is in theory, nearly an infinite number of moves still available to them each round.
You can always change your minion postion on the board. Thus, you always have a “valid move”.
