The format has become a luck fest total joke. The worst part being that if you do get lucky, there is going to be some loser with nothing but a bunch of divine shield/poisons with leeroy to make all your work in vain. What’s the pointo of scaling at all knowing this will be wbe what ultimately knocks you out? Should just play to get nothing but this junk since is by far the easiest way to get a cheap win. No work… To all the people that said we needed poison, you’re just straight up idiots. There were other ways to deal with high scaling other than ruin the whole format with this poison crap? Then you add Leeroy?! Well, that’s a great way to screw up one of the only hopes against poison… mechs. Now a stupid leeroy takes out your only salvation at surviving this poison stupidness. And designer or person with a brain would have realized that “Hey, We need to add more + attack buffs”. Not a way to completely undermind the whole format. What’s the point of playing when you have so many ways to undermind hard work? Why would I ever want to lose half my life building up a weaver knowing that a tavern bought minion can take out it and another(poison/divine shield guy). The whole format is a joke and completely pointless.
DS and Poison just add some rock-paper-scissors to what otherwise would mainly be a one-dimensional luck-of-the-minion-drop scaling game. There are some hero powers and exploding minions that really cramp the style of DS. The poison-granting Murloc does not appear on command, and depending on getting one for the win is akin to drawing to an inside straight (I admit to spending 20 gold refreshing to fish for one with no luck). I hardly ever take Leeroy, because he always bashes himself against some low-value Taunt minion.
Hope the fun returns for you.
Scissors: “To all the people that said we needed Rock, you’re just straight up idiots. Any person with a brain would have realized ‘Hey, we need to add more sharp metal bits.’ What’s the point of playing if I can’t win every game on autopilot?”
Scrotie is a perfect example of someone that is clueless. Where you come up with that statement is beyond me and just shows that you have no depth to even understand. I understand people like you with very limited skills love the format because it gives anyone a chance. And perhas that is just it that Blizzard is catering to you limited skill players that will spend money on a game that makes them feel like they are good.
i would contend that learning to play and win the game with the mechanics you seem to despise takes more skill, than stacking stats on minions all game. guess the definition of skill isn’t absolute. hope you learn to enjoy playing again.
You enjoy numbers. Other people enjoy playing what’s actually effective and using strategies to counter certain tactics you use.
If Battlegrounds is all about stats, whoever gets more battlecries and buffers win all the time, which isn’t at all interesting. So minions like Leeroy destroy these easy strategies and encourage counter play, like using deathrattles or cheap taunts to destroy it before it hits anything.
I agree with you for the most part, but I don’t think leeroy should exist. I actually think it’s too scammy for the mode.
Game sucks and is unplayable. What other similar games are you playing? I’ve lost faith in blizzard completely
Bruh, go outside. Stop talking poop. If you don’t like something don’t play it. No need for a diatribe on the forums and insults to anyone who responds.
Sorry, i tend to mostly use the forums to vent. I was done when I was in final 2 with a guy that had nothing but weenie murlocs with poison and recurring shields… with a couple of leeroys. Is that what everyone thinks should win? As if it takes more skill to buy a leeroy than scale up big minions. I guess I’m not used to games that have such a huge “catch up” mechanic that can make all previous efforts in vain. Scale my guy bigger? Or, just sell them all as poisons and leeroys become available in shop? I mean, because who cares about getting a 50/50 to 100/100 when a leeroy or poison can take out a 200/200? I wish they would add more minions like the dragon that scales super high attack as an option for people to work on to take out biggies, instead of shortcuts that undermine hard work.
Poison is essential to battle grounds. There’s a ridiculously large amount of power scaling cards that can be untameable to fight against. At least poison gives a fighting edge against this.
perhaps, but only because the designers of the format are idiots and have put instead of minions that can scale high attack power easily. My biggest minion is a 2434/34, so attaining a high attack isn’t impossible. But, people don’t want to actually have to work to get a counter. They want a minion you can buy and instantly solve. It’s also so funny when people talk about how needed poison is to catch up when it is like the main strategy people use. People throw away their scaled minions for poisons and leeroy because they are so broken. Why keep a 50/50, when a leeroy or poison can kill a 200/200? Give murlocs a way to scale attack power instead of poison. And take out leeroy because he just ruins mech builds.
instead of railing against poison, why don’t you adjust your strategy when poison is in the room? just accept stat building probably won’t get you there in those games and play accordingly. i can’t see why you think the game should change instead of your play style.
Wait, you want someone to actually learn to play the mode instead of crying about losign over and over and over in the same way? Why would anyone ever try a different strategy?
Because Karen is the customer.
But in all seriousness, these posts simply highlight that some people are just terrible at the mode, lacking basic undestanding of the game.
Perhaps because instead of being a conformist that just accepts things as they are and never aspires for anything better, I’m looking for ways to improve the format. I dont like seeing hard work undermined with easy fix. Think about the guy who lost so much life beefing up a weaver. All that work should be offset by a tavern bought minion that can potentially kill 2 of them? Lol, Sellwynn, you’re such a joke. Let’s see that 10k rating, buddy? Or not… you joke.
Kage, I feel your frustration. However, one of the best features of BG (and something that differentiates it from any other Hearthstone mode) is that you face the same opponents multiple times over the course of a match. Mid-match adjustments are an important part of the game. For instance, if I can see an elemental or demon scaling deck on the rise, I know that I will need a counter to stats. Even a single T6 Mantid can make the difference endgame. If there are a couple of mech or dragon decks, some explosions or artillery to deal with DS are must-acquires.
Also, Mech is actually a great counter to poison/Leeroy, because so many Mechs have DS and amazing DRs . Actually, both Beast and Mech major in mid- and late-game minions that serve you as well dead as alive.
Good gaming!
Says the guy who would rather change the game than actually learn to play it.
You get so attached to your pretty stats that you lose your behind over and over and over and over again without changing your approach, but yes, the game is the issue.
Lol.
No! My pretty minions must be allowed to scale and win because I made them first!!!
Whoa, there, friend, counterplay is not allowed. It makes it so hard for my one minion to stay pretty and win, and I find that to be totally unfair so everyone should change the game for me to make me win more because I am make teh pretty minion.
Leroy is a nice minion to end your turn with. Its not that different from a selfless.
Unless opponent has one big divine shield taunt,then leroy is better.
Its a very good minion in certain endgames but you can adept to it to some extend.
I dont mind leroy nor mantis that much. They are both weak to beasts , exodia pirates,buster mechs to some extend. They are good against a board of mostly big plain stats.
You can play them yourself as well and try to outposition your opponent.
I do think having both in the game is slightly more then needed but at the same time i dont think they are a huge issue for now.
I agree with this take exactly. Ideally we get one but not both.
Sorry you don’t like people giving you honest feedback.
I’m fine if you need to call me names to feel better, but you’re still bad at the game no matter what you call me.
Lol. Cheers, mate!
