[BG] Just cracked 5k rating!

Not sure. I gain 100 MMR a day on average. Bad days sometimes no gain no lost. Today alone I played 3 won 3 and gain 300. Currently at 6k MMR chilling. Definitely can go higher if I want to grind.

hahaha, thanks for the idea. I’ll start saying that if I get to top 10 :):blush:

When I first started I focused on MMR and making sure to hit top 4, then it dawned on me that’s it really kind of pointless :slight_smile: So for the past week I’ve bounced around between 5500-5900 just experimenting with different approaches to heroes and seeing if I can make underused minions viable; this has been fun - just ignore the RNG because it’s the nature of any autochess and will always be there.
With the current set of minions MMR is really just a reflection of who gets buffed amalgams/lightfangs/etc… yes there is skill involved in getting to that point safely but I’ve had lobbies where 3x early T5s have netted 3 bad minions each time, same when hunting for T6 George… this RNG is a big swing and if you gambled with power tiering you lose, not much skill there :confused:

P.S. I finally hit 6K today on my 40th 1st place :slight_smile:

Talking about undercalued minion.

Wanted lightfang or brann, nth got offered but this 7/7 beast. Decide to just go beast and went T5. Luck shine through and got me mama bear and this build somehow got me first place.

So many of my wins come from iron hide vs the opponent last minion and summoning a token to win.

that’s an interesting way to order your minions. did u rearrange it after the screenshot?

Oh… I am playing against my girlfriend… So I am arranging for a draw. Or minimum damage. (inspired by kibler) Did re arrange a little and I took 7 damage kill sindragosa next to secure top 2 for us lol.

That board has always a first place potential , sometimes a little better and sometimes a worse state

I never play against iron hide beast before nor did one until this. Beast is fine. But its usually with Hydra some rat pack shennegan or hyena.

When irronhide is just your best option it can go pretty out of hand when buffed enough.

Golden overkill from ironhide gives you a 10/10 right ?

Yep, kind of adapt to this build since i am offer no other choice. each kill with my mama bear is 18/18 token

Congrats on being lucky.

i just dropped 400 points losing 5 or 6 games in a row because i was tired laying in bed playing on mobile. it happens.

Dont be mean. Everybody has a right to get lucky. Especially in luck based game like BG. Maybe he had bad luck compared to other players so it always feels nice to get some chunk of luck and score some win after.

Happens indeed. Just went back to back 8th place, then immediately 1st place with Nerfarian.

To follow readers , i advice you to not pay that much attention to the battleground rating at the moment , it is in beta and all and from my current expierence its not to be taken seriously in measurement of how well you played.

I wanted to expierence this mode a little more , but right now it is just to simple.
It needs more cards and more options next to the freeze and reroll button to have different variables to make any difference.

i did not play that much yet but

34 wins
108 top 4
5634 rating

and still climbing slowly with 25+ points for number one :stuck_out_tongue:

Finally reached 5K myself, and it was a beautiful victory. Finally, for the first time, I managed to get big Nightmare Amalgams. They had 47 and 48 ATK respectively and 60+ defense, as well as Poison and Taunt of course (I also had 3 more Murlocs with defense in the 20’s and Poison, the other 2 spaces were for Brann and Battlecry Buffers). They didn’t have Divine Shield as I never got Annoy-o-Module (I did get 1 Gentle Megasaur thanks to triple Overseer, but that was used for Poison before I got Brann), but this was satisfactory, and I was Nefarian so I suppose it evened out the battlefield. Finally I got to experience the greatness I’ve seen my opponents experience all the time! And funny thing: the Tidehunter I bought turn 1 stayed on my field all the way to the end.

My stats:

9 wins
28 top 4
5064 rating

Sucking today. 4 bottom tier in a row. Tried to make brann battlecry murlocs and I couldn’t get a health buff. Tried to make deathrattle mechs as I got baron on a discover and had gold shredder already that fell flat. Tried to make early gold wrath weaver work and no demons. Sandbagged a couple triples for lightfang chance since I had 2 amalgam and missed and then muddled my strategy and got rekt.

Well, since the last patch I’ve really struggled in Battlegrounds.

Out of the last 10 or so matches I’ve made top 4 once, maybe twice. Haven’t come 1st at all.

No matter which hero I choose, or which tribe I opt to go for, someone else always seems to have the bigger and better minions.

I play Millificent and go for Mechs (obviously), someone else is also going for mechs and they end up with 2 buffed Cobalt Guardians before I even see one.

Or if I go for Murlocs and build up a decent army complete with a King Bagurgle I run into an A.F. Kay with huge Demons (and I mean a 90/90 Golden Floating Watcher huge!).

I’ve dropped down to 4612 rating as a result.

Really not having fun with it any more :frowning:

One suggestion, don’t ever go murlocs, you will climb more consistently unless you’re playing Curator then it’s sometimes good. Don’t play heroes like millificent or jaraxxus where it’s only good if you go for one tribe. Just in general try to get to t3 quickly unless you’re playing rafaam and sometimes yogg.

Spawn of N’zoth and mech bombs are really good when you’re at t2, rat packs also especially if buffed. Once at t3 look for cobalt, floating watcher, possibly pack leader to decide what you will be building. While at t3 and you have a triple, go to t4 so you discover a 5 drop. They’re much better in general than t4 minions. Obviously don’t do this if you are dying and can’t afford to spend the gold to tier up.

Yeah, I was playing Curator.

Depends on what 3 heroes you get to choose from. Sometimes they’re the best picks.

Yep, already do.

Knew all that, but thanks :slight_smile:

Only problem with waiting til T3 to decide what tribe to go is that you’ll be behind those players who decided their tribes early and got lucky with their Tavern rolls. Seems to be every game there’s 1 or 2 players who get lucky like that!
