Fix animation times or create an animation cancel

Literally lost a game right now while I had lethal in hand because my warlock opponent went nuts on the previous turn causing more than 2 minutes worth of animation to happen after the rope timed out. When it got to my turn the rope had already been running and was out of time? Wtf is that?

To lose for any reason other than the opponent was better than me is absolutely infuriating especially when it’s caused by a game mechanic that could easily be fixed. I dont need to see the damn animations I know whats happening. Don’t give me a 1 second turn because the animations take up my entire turn. Give me a button to skip through all of it or don’t make my turn loose any time.

This has been an issue for years and they’ve never tried to fix it.

I agree. There’s absolutely no reason why some animations take so long. Most of the wasted time is just watching card draw. Looking at you soul shards.

This is probably the most frustrating way to lose a match. There are some meme decks in wild that rely on this to block you from ever taking your turn. They are meme-y and not that strong, but still annoying.

i’ve seen top legend players lose to this.

the devs will say it’s a player caused problem and not fix it.

Indeed, Im so sick of this. Anytime I’ve watched HS streamers I always had to speed up the video at least to x1.25 (x1.5 if I dont care about the streamer’s talk) because the game is sooooooooooo slow.
I’ve already dropped this expansion because Im tired of playing demon seed and losing 7/10 times due to slow animations, I literally spend the whole time waiting for them to resolve instead of playing cards.

+1. miracle rogue, stealer of souls quest warlock kind of decks are impossible to play right now. i lost too many games where i had the perfect lethal but forced to watch the painfully slow soul fragment or garrote animations. it feels really bad. please fix it already blizzard.

It’s kinda worse now. I’ve lost multiple games due to getting the azz end of being forced to watch animations during my turn. Latest patch needs a patch.

Please speed up animations in general and specifically Ignite! I’m losing games just because it takes so lung until the card shuffles and gets redrawn afterwards. So frustrating!
As someone above was saying, give us the option to skip animations, or just shorten them significantly.

Oh, yeah, and demon seed was such a pain to play because of animations taking so long, either playing the deck or playing against it. Now since I’m playing wild, it’s no longer an issue for me.
