Ranked? Messed. Battlegrounds? Messed. Arena? Extra messed.
Im reminded of the last time I decided to take a break. Don’t want to but the game isn’t as fun right now. For me anyway.

It might help if you gave more details about what “messed” actually means.
Are you talking bugs?
Are you talking gameplay balance?
Are you talking disconnections?
Are you talking microtransaction greed?

E) All of the above.

Yeah, easily the worst update ever. The game is unplayable.
And I mean literally unplayable, you can’t finish a game without it just…crashing.
BG’s is fine. It’s just a different minion pool is all.
Bgs is not fine. Elementals are insane. Undead are weak af. Dragons are almost worthless to try and build. Quillboars are weak until tier 6 when all of the sudden they’re gods. Mechs are in a decent place but a few heroes make mechs absolutely insane.
I went up against a murlocs build the other day. Dude had poison, shields and reborn on almost everything. I mean… Really?

Without perfect minions obtained on specific turns, and perfect trinkets, Elementals are a free trip to 8th place. Anyone can high roll, and an elemental high roll is very mid tbh.
Undead are tricky to build, honestly requiring a mix of high rolls and high player skill to know which minions to “destroy” on a moment to moment basis. That said, even a low roll undead build with a good pilot is very strong. They get through the early game on high health usually.
Dragons are, in my opinion, the strongest tribe in the game right now. If you think they are weak, you’re blind.
Depends. They’ve got this weird deathrattle + avenge early game package. Its unintuitive because the pieces are too specific if you try to build pure quilboar. However…
In undead and beast lobbies they can play their early game with minion spam deathrattles + Dreaming Thornweaver.
But yeah, late game is just “get crone + three lil quilboar”.
It just sounds like you don’t understand how the tribes work man.

Well, im not a pro so chances are I am. To me, it just seems like some tribes are very easy to build and build well while others require insane luck. Don’t grt me wrong, I love the rolling and choices in bgs. It just feels a little insane right now and a bit unbalanced.
It’s actually fine now, when the game isn’t crashing all day long.
I’ll listen to that complaint better when anomalies hit the game next BG update.
Pure tribe is usually not the best play in a lobby. There are so many good combos that you are looking for and you will only switch to a pure build if it is just handed to you. I mean Pirates aren’t even a playable end game tribe build. you play Pirates to build up a massive amount of gold then complete switch on one turn when you are tier 5 or 6.
These are the two most powerful and highest win rate minions in BG’s ATM.
The best pure tribe is without a doubt Demons who can easily triple the stats of any pure elemental build ATM. Elementals got nerfed hard when they switched them from a buff shop to buff board build in the first seasonal balance pass. You are correct about mechs who took a massive nerf in the first patch and haven’t really recovered. Both can play pure builds and get to top 4 sometimes but a 1st or 2nd is near impossible in a competent lobby.
I understand your frustration of a board full of DS poison Murlocs(that would be imposing) but that is a rare circumstance not the norm. The tier 7 Oracle is a requirement for Murlocs to get a first in this meta so a Greater Trinket hit is normally needed.
Strongest Murloc this season is this card.
Embracing the ability to buff Tavern spells form this seasons theme will provide you with almost any build you want so give it a try.

Using Ambassador Faelin and getting to pick Shadow dancer as my tier 4 minion, as well as getting Felbat Sticker as my greater trinket, I finally got to see what a Demon highroll looked like. Christ those stats exploded so fast, easiest 1st place of my life. Demons are probably tied with Dragons in my opinion…
All because Felfire Conjurer is a Demon/Dragon dual type.

Yeah if you can get the Conjurer and Shadow dancer close together and then a way to multiply one or both it’s essentially game over for the lobby. You can scale off the charts.
I put dragons as second only because the really explosive scaling starts at the tier 6 dragon unless you get a funny trinket combo with Tera.
I dunno man, feels like it doesn’t matter once you have Felfire Conjurer and some method to generate spells. Things like Felbat/Batty and Evoker capitalize on your spells cast, but the difference is Demons NEED a method to eat shop minions. No eating, and they’re bricked.
Dragons can miss on Evoker and there’s tons of backup strats. A low roll for Dragons is better than a Demons low roll. You can still scale and get top 4 while missing the best Dragons.
You make good points. I guess I’m just frustrated because the Battleground change up this time was so extreme. I went from regularly getting 7k or higher rank to not being able to break 5000. Very frustrating.
The minion pool is not as good as it was before for sure. It’s also very different in how it is interacting with the Tavern spell pool since that is the theme of the season. You are not alone in being frustrated as it took me many many losses and games to switch to how different this pool is.
Stick with it and identify the new patterns and you will be fine.

Season isn’t over, you have plenty of time to climb if a higher rank if that’s your goal. If you actually want it, you’ll get there, just keep at it man.
