I was playing battlegrounds and whenever I faced the user the game disconnected and I couldn’t even see the combat, this only happened when I faced him, it seemed like a type of Lag switch.
this isn’t the first time this has happened but this one really looked like it was a hacker, does anyone have any reports to submit as well?

Don’t post specific usernames in the forum. Especially if you don’t even know what happend and if this user was really the cause of this.

I have two things:
#1 - Never post names here in the forums
#2 - There is no hacking in BGs; what was the composition they were playing? There’s a lot going on during the battle phase and it’s possible to disconnect for some people.

This happens sometimes. Most likely some combination of minions causes it. Unlikely that anyone is hacking the game.

I’ve seen streamers do this on purpose , they manually disconnect and reconnect and when they come back they have more time between rounds
The game calculations are done on the server, not the client. If your opponent truly were able to defeat Blizzard’s security and get enough access to their system to install malicious code on their machines, do you really think they’d waste their time making you lose a game?
There’s a remote access patent so obviously this is true. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20070143837A1/en
but it only had it in the others, they had already lost it
There’s definitely cheaters and hacking in battlegrounds. It’s Ben more obvious in Duals. You’re not gonna tell me someone can have 100+ stats ON ALL 7 MINIONS and it has been less than 8-10 turns. With duals having shorter amount of turns due to its 2v2 and a team loses quick that it has become apparent. Also can confirm it with 100% when they have sheep icons on their buffs since the game doesn’t know where the buff came from. You’re not gonna tell me it is a pure coincidence that a suspicious amount of buffs in so little turns and they always have sheep icons

I surely wouldn’t if said buffs actually were suspicious. If you ever come across such a thing where a board is buffed so incredibly again, please, take a screenshot and post it here because I guarantee most players here can explain how it’s done, from turn 1 to the turn you claim it was.

That will just summon the It’s Rigged Cult because when you lose if it isn’t hacked it’s rigged.
I generally find them to be one and the same

I just played Duos with this guy. He’s an absolute idiot.
Can someone explain how somone can have 61000 attack?
Many ways, some spells ingame (not in the public pool, hero specific) that double attack power, stack that.
Or especially now, Ysera/Dragon that saves stats cross turns + Bru’kan Buddy + Hero Power, that rapidly goes off the rails. Seen higher numbers than what you mentioned btw.
Long time ago, without buddies even, and not attack specific, but just to name an example, highest health minion I had in BG, had 134+ million health. (and 8 attack. stats stacked this high usually has a low other stat)
Was done using Imp + Ysera + Old Voljin HP (swap 2 minions attack+hp perma)
I had that today, well (18663) with certain buddy’s, my highest attack back in the day was like 2-3 billion. That was with Bru’kan and dragons.
maximum is 2,147,483,647 then it rolls over to 0.
according to this reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/1csuvtq/2_billions_dragon_attack_the_highest_attack_in/

Yep, just checked my board it was 2,009,581,917
bliz says that there are no hackers, but when a player has 10 of the same card (3 triples and one reg) all with multiple hundreds of stats, then it is obvious
I have a screenshot
