I would like an option that allows to remove animation, a check box in settings.
I am asking this because I can’t count the number of battlegrounds game where my game failed and I lost because of a situation where the animation is so long and unstoppable that my turn endend before I finished playing.
Example: I buy a 3rd minion that becomes a gold minion, and then triggers a quest. So I get the animation of the gold card, the animation of the bonus card that is added to my hand, then the animation of the quest, then the animation that shows me the results of the quest… if I want to pop the bonus card, I have the animation of the discover 3 cards, I have to choose and then play it.
Sometimes, there is 20 seconds to the clock, I sell a minion (and it too can have an effect) and I reroll and find a triple. I’m like, dang it I will just buy it and play it and choose my card on the next turn, but no… animations, animations and animation.
On top of that, animations and certain minions make the game lag. Like the “Mistake”.
Everytime I put one into play the game freezes up for a few seconds.
What’s up with all that waste of time

Problem is that animation are unironically part of the hearthstone balancing.
With people going as far as to use ilegal stuff to cancel animations for older combo decks so they have time to execute impossible combos.

so the idea must be replace them with cooldown timer matching the time of the animations

I for one want longer animations. Too many people in the 6k mmr are getting away with way too much as it is. In fact, there ought to be a penalty for too many actions per minute on your turn.

Yes, the animations must be removed or reduced by a lot of time in battleground. I can’t play my turn, Especially with Quests. when you lost 70 seconds of turn in animation, the game becomes unplayable. And the animations are very ugly. I don’t understand what’s going on in the developers’ heads. It seems like they never tested their own game
While there should be a reduction in animation times, they still sorta should be present even in BGs just to have a bit of a cap on apm builds, which could absolutely ruin other strats if they werent held back a little by animations
