No, that’s not the case.
Your comments suggest otherwise.
My comments apply to any attempt at FFA competition, regardless of genre.
I don’t consider autobattlers to be FFA games in the real sense.
I also think you’re talking out your behind since you don’t know enough about Hearthstone battleground to make an educated comment.
I wouldn’t put BGs in the same class as fortnite and quake.
And I don’t care what you think, forums are a many-to-many discussion and I won’t be silent simply because you want me to.
It’s actually more competitive than constructed could ever hope to be. The skill set needed to be really good at BG’s is extremely broad. Not to mention something you have to apply on the fly each lobby.
When Lobby Legends was still a thing for competitive BG’s it drew 4x the amount of viewers over constructed.

That was quite the angry rant about nothing. I understand you are upset you cannot get to 6K rating but that doesn’t mean it’s the games fault.
I didn’t tell you to be silent, I said you’re laughably wrong.
Your take here, on this specfici topic, is on a par with the least informed I’ve ever seen on these forums. You might as well make a monsterparty nerf thread for how correct your position on BGs is.
By all means, you’re free to keep embarrassing yourself as much as you want!
Agreed.
Don’t feed the trolls. They lost me at “scripted” and I’m just moving on.

Not even remotely true.
The bg tournaments are fun to watch and sure it takes skill to know when to go for first or when to tempo for top 4, but the rng in bgs is incredibly more a part of the game than standard. You get what Bob gives you and make it work.
Watch some of the bg tourneys. Even the way they decide a winner comes down to who has the enough points over several games and then on top of that can get first place before someone else has enough points to get first and win. Thats the best they could come up with xD. Because its not really equipped for serious competitive play as a free for all
Constructed you actually have more complexity in the decision making piloting as well as how to fill out decklists last card slots.
Having watched many tournaments of both Constructed and bgs as well as playing both modes, Constructed is more skill intensive and bgs has a lot more rng involved relatively.
There is a reason there is no masters tour for bgs despite it being the more popular mode. It lacks the same level of competitive play.
Its difficult to see who the best player at a bg tournament really is. You dont see people consistently winning several in a row because it can be so random who gets the hot hands at the right time.
You see in constructed who the best players are because they can consistently repeat their success over multiple events as well as worlds.
Grinding ladder on bgs is boring even if it gets someone the highest number. Kripp doesnt want to grind ladder. He plays to entertain. Im not saying he would be at the top (probably above 14k if he was trying to climb), but give the man some credit. He was also one of the best arena players when he mained that mode. I would say arena, even in its current state, is more competitive than bgs
I’m not Legend anymore. Haven’t hit Legend in months. Because I don’t care about the last two expansions enough to want to play enough. Does that mean I am incapable of understanding the new meta? No, don’t be ridiculous.
The truth is you’re butthurt over someone else’s success. This isn’t the first or even second time I’ve seen you do this on the forums. Go work on yourself buddy. Nobody buys your braggadoccio here.

We aren’t talking about constructed modes, which don’t change as radically as BG seasons do.
Mand never played at legend and hasn’t the mode in literal years. Yes, that’s apples to oranges and they don’t have a real understanding of the current game mode.
Who? Kripp? Hardly. I respect his accomplishments but don’t give him credit for things he hasnt’ actually done.
Do what? Tell the truth? Ask any good player of BGs and they will chuckle if you bring up Kripp… because he’s not a good player.
That word isn’t even relevant to this discussion, dude.
I love how you think Mand needs a white knight, though. Hilarious.
This is absolutley false. It’s just clearly and obviously false.
How many cards do you see in a BG turn versus how many you see in a game? There are significantly more decisions to be made in playing through battleground games than constructed games.
Until he shows you that, don’t believe it.
For you, maybe. I’m trash at arena and have never taken the time to learn. I, therefore, don’t tell people how to play a mode I don’t understand fully… unlike a whole bunch of kripp fan bois in here stanning for their guy.
Kripp can be very good in arena where it’s so linear and inflexible… which is where he’s strong. BGs are lots of lateral thinking on the fly, which is a different skill set than constructed modes.
If only direct firsthand experience was relevant to analysis and decision making, fantasy football wouldn’t exist since none of the people doing it were pro NFL players.

It’s more an issue of you badmouthing someone you claim to have no experience watching. So why should we believe you know what you’re talking about?
I didn’t watch that linked video, I didn’t say I’ve never seen kripp.
If you knew what you were talking about, you would know my opinion on the topic is widely shared by quality players of the mode.
When people ask on reddit or here for resources on how to improve, no one is recommending Kripp.
I propose that there never will be any of competitive relevance.
It’s a casual game for a casual playerbase.
I don’t expect you to understand it.
Shouldn’t I be more of an expert in casual games than you, according to your own position?
You will never admit it. But the truth is 90% of the time first place in bgs comes down to who can snowball an economy or tempo advantage that bob gives them in the first 4 turns. There is very little agency in turns 1-3. You either get a good early game. Or you take chip damage that very well could get you killed in the mid game. Its very a rng dependent mode and it shows of you actually watch the “competitive” events (what i already described in my previous post)
The reason damage cap exists is because of how lopsided early game rng is…
There is a reason there is no masters tour for bgs. Its a free for all for fun. Not a truly competitive gamemode.
Nah, this was put in place to help bad players feel better about themselves.
I’ve long called for it to be completely removed.
This is, again, apples to oranges comparison.
First, fantasy football relies on data and statistics, which are typically generated by experts in those areas or dilligent homework by dedicated fantasy players. You’ve done none of that, so your opinion is ridiculous. You are a guy in a league from work that has never played before, can’t name ten players on teams from outside their hometown, and is trying to explain the ins and outs to someone with years more experience and significantly deeper knowledge than you.
Second, the better analogy for your presence in this topic is you are here to mansplain nfl football to an actual player despite not playing since grade school as though you have more understanding and knowledge than someone with years of experience.
It’s a horrible look for you either way.
The more you reply to this topic, the more you show how much you don’t actually know.
