They’re way too dominant and they have like 3 different ways to build and dominate. They’re strong early, mid, and late game. Pretty much every lobby with beasts, it’s a beast win. There’s no strong counter to them because of how hard they ramp up. Plus, the best way to interact with them is to close the game and reopen it to skip combat animations so you actually have time to play your next turn.
Do something about this busted and irritating tribe already, please.
The tribe needs to be tweaked because it is far too easy to get stats on Baron that make it impossible to take him out. Which basically makes the deathrattle strategy unbeatable. And as you noted, the frog variant is super annoying.
People really don’t know how to counter DR beast builds?
Are you guys just playing tunnel murloc and wondering why that isn’t effective?
Beasts include frogs and I will not have my fellow amphibians insulted. BE GONE HUMAN!
I haven’t used beasts for long time; because I really do not how to build beasts in battlegrounds.
Gotcha… You must be the annoying jumping frog in Bgs.
The mode is complete trash, beasts are not the issue its the design of quests and the crap they have made this mode into.
You dont counter them, cards are given to you and you try to make the best out of them, hearthstone is not chess, you have very limited options.
Yep. I am what haunts your dreams every night.
Beasts are fine but they do require some understanding to compete against. The only real problem with BG’s is the rating system. You lose FAR too much on a bad RNG game and you gain nearly nothing for playing a game and getting first place. Getting first should be easily double that of an 8th place loss that happened through nothing you did wrong besides bad RNG. The time investment is just not worth playing the game for most and creates a major hurdle for new players.
The only saving grace for the newer players are the floors, which are just a band aid IMO.
I just wish they would remove leapfrogger. It’s such a menace. It provides way too much scaling and the animation can literally cause you to miss turns unless you close and reopen the game. It’s poorly designed and needs to be cut from the game. There are two or three other win conditions that don’t require frog.
I have been destroying annoying murloc players left and right with frogger build. People underestimate how difficult it is to build it. Baron feels like an ultra rare minion that is extremely difficult to roll in some games. No baron = no top 3.
Blizzard also nerfed the frogger build. They removed parasol just to f with the playerbase for no reason and refused to return it. Stolen gold is now ultra rare.
Also, the issue isnt beast, its the awful quest system. BG desperately needs a new patch.
Well good news, Tuesday you get your wish
YOU don’t, other players know what they’re doing and do just fine. Beasts don’t win lobbies unless they hit the whole comp and are usually dead before they can finish, even then they can and are regularly beaten by better endgame comps.
Checks out.
Also checks out because utility builds are the counter to murloc boards. This is exactly what beasts are for. Good for you.
Also true. Excellent and relevant point that will be skipped over by the people who don’t play well.
I wish I could like this five or more times. You’ve called the actual problem right here.
Quests are AWFUL and ruined the mode. All these people crying about bad rng aren’t understanding that the only thing that matters right now is matching a quick finish quest to your hero and you’ve got easy top four. Getting the wrong options for quests or picking a hero with long quest completion is instant loss.
this would be today?> that would be nice.
What? , your cards get dealed to you, if you have more synergy then your opponents you win, there is no talent involved in hearthstone, learn the mechanics and get lucky.
yes, winning in BGs is magic. No skill involved, you’re correct.
Continue to believe this while you play your 3k ranked games and lose.
The people who consistently make leaderboards are just lucky people, especially when the same player was rank #1 on NA and EU boards at the same time… just really, really lucky in getting dealt good synergy over 100s of games on two different servers.
Lol.
I’m at 6k. I can’t think of a reliable counter if they manage to get a taunt frog and golden Baron with a buff or two on it (which, as you note, is made too easy by the quest). What am I missing?
Only problem I had with beast frogger comps were stolen gold and the stealth quest. Stolen gold appearance has been nerfed but for some reason they brought the stupid stealth quest back…
I’m at 6500, they win nearly every lobby they’re in. Often without Baron, without stolen gold, without stealth. Sometimes even without leapfrogger. They’re overtuned. Murlocs are second on the list as they win most of the lobbies they’re in. Only exception is, you guessed it, against beasts.
Rat pack is a huge part of the issue, as is deathrattle being able to apply to minions that aren’t on the board when the deathrattle minion died.
