Bs trinkets in bgs

Multiplayer Discussion

Pls cancel trinkets, and do more testing, bgs are unplayable at this state.

For me they also ruined bgs,and I was playing it a lot but stopped abruptly this season…I like some new minions, , but im just too lazy to learn the trinkets, they dont feel as organic as buddies…

Before, it made sense to fight to win the early game to get your buddie sooner, now it doesnt matters…

Yep, totally blizzard’s issue.

This meta is so much more interesting than buddies could ever be.

Very interisting, yay

It’s incredible how this team is an expert in making the game worse. Instead of thinking more simply, they go for the worst possible approach. I would like to congratulate the team for so many bad design choices. They got the quests right but failed at EVERYTHING ELSE. Congratulations."

Sounds like you’re doing it wrong. You can influence the trinkets by your minion choices.

Yes, board with 4 mechs. Get lightfang or demon trinquet :slight_smile: YAY

Great influence or great design

Sure, buddy, cool story.

Actually that is possible to happen because it looks at the hero as well and weights it. I had this issue with a board full of demon and it also tried to offer me Lightfang because i was playing Queen Wagtoggle. I was a bit confused at first till i remembered who i was playing. The system just assumes you will always play Menagerie with certain heroes. If you pick a mech hero and play no mechs there’s a high probability it will give you Automaton as a choice. I personally think this is dumb but they feel like it’s okay to work like that.

On the flip side it does always give you the choice of some bad trinkets so those are the ones you should look at if your hero isn’t matching up with your build. Just keep in mind that the hero and specifically their power is highly influentially on your trinket choices in specific cases.

Terrible season, just as bad a quests. Some of the minions added back and trinkets, they would be good for season 2. But there are so many ways to get more stats… they an option of ‘sell 4 minions’ get an elemental. Or whatever that mech that gives +1/+1 when you lose a define shield but you can just make blood gems give 20/20 each with little effort.

I guess if you like change, this meta is for you. I prefer doing something better with my time. First season I didn’t get the pass, and have no intention.

So much buddy hate in this thread when it made almost every hero playable, now the unplayable heroes are TRULY unplayable (too many to list) because they don’t already tailor to trinkets, nor do their hero powers offer anything to help curve your scaling

Uh Quests are widely considered the best season for BG’s. What would you say is the best BG season theme?

13

Yeah, yeah cool story… zzzzzzz

Most of the trinkets are fine and honestly pretty enjoyable imo. Are there a few outliers? Absolutely! There are a few that are straight up trash and a few that can single-handedly ruin games for the rest of the lobby. Overall, it’s way better than buddies/quests.

Sure. When you got 4 crap options and you are dead at turn 9. Very fun

The problem with weasel words like “almost” is that I could literally name ANY hero whatsoever, and regardless of overall generality, because you said “ALMOST” you have the guaranteed wiggle room to find a contextual situation in which the goalposts can shift.

And then it ostensibly falls to me, the “counter-claimer” to somehow sealion a laundry list of “what-about-isms.”

It’s a tiresome game and I didn’t sleep well last night. Can we please just shortcut it? Just this once? And admit buddies were bad more often than they were good, in more cases than not?

wrong opinion, won’t defend it, 2 paragraphs of drivel.

2/10 weak bait

Your name is an onomatopoeia for people being enraged and/or handicapped.

And yes, I dissent from your opinion.

Anomalies were FAR FAR Worse. There’s a reason even the developers acknowledged they were a mistake.

The biggest flaw with buddies is that you absolutely NEED to have four hero choices to have a good chance in the lobby. No other meta place the hero so front and center as buddies. The majority are picking from two heroes and that will most often give them two bad choices.

Players in this meta have to sometimes take the less optimal choice of trinket like in the quest meta and play for a top 4 positioning instead of a 1st place. Keeping in mind the hero you pick can also influence your trinket choices. Not a great deal but a few narrow hero powers can put specific trinkets in the pool even before you start building a board.

This last round of changes did a good job of roping in the biggest offenders IMO. There’s a couple i am still wary of but i don’t see anything broken and OP at this point. New players are probably not yet accustomed to playing menagerie or scam builds which are back in the game unlike last season.
