Speed/Blitz mode

Now that wins don’t give extra reward, should we have a fast mode? Something in the range of 10-15 seconds per turn would be very cool, permanent Nozdormu effect.

Edit:
Nozdormu the Eternal
Start of Game: If this is in BOTH players’ decks, turns are only 15 seconds long.

This is great, but should have been with other stats, something that most decks can include without downsides.

Only if you want to play nothing but aggro mirrors.

Such mode doesn’t favor aggro since aggro plays most cards per turn on average. It disfavors decks that rely on a lot of drawing.

Game is already super fast - I am playing control, meme, aggro, combo … and my average match time is 7.1 mins.
And some decks I was playing has average time of 4.2 mins. etc.

Why do you even want something faster than this? :smiley:

Also - I think the main factor why it wouldnt work = animations - so certain legendaries, discover effects, poisonous, spells, quests, deathrattles… would make you to kinda skip your turn

How does having 15 seconds to play not favor decks with very linear plans? Deciding which removal to use takes a lot longer than “play minion, hit face.”

That’s subjective. It may be for specific portion of the players.

Blitz chess is a valid type of chess (and it has most viewers in Twitch), having its own skill check.

HS could receive two more variations regarding time management - faster (suggested in this thread) and slower (with say 10 minutes time bank, gaining extra 2 minutes each turn).

All 3 variations involve something the other 2 are lacking.

I’d personally play most in the blitz mode since it will be most fun for me.

Did they really kill the bonus XP for winning a match?

I have been asking for a chess clock mode since I have been on these boards.

I would love to see several options.

Did i miss something? Got a link for that?

In the past they couldn’t do such thing since it would drastically boost your gold per hour, but now it’s possible.

They can always adjust this making it dependent on game length. What they couldn’t adjust in the past was the flat rate of 10 gold per 3 wins.

so you are suggesting the extra exp from winning to be removed…

thats a terrible idea!!!
there is no need to do that just to add a new mode

The devs already don’t want to add an autosquelch button because they don’t want to fill their interface with buttons. I’m sure they also don’t want to fill their game with modes.

Except that they stated they were working on multiple new modes

Oh really? What kind? Did they say?

Yes, in the blitz mode it should work differently, so that if you win 20 games for the same time another guy won 2 in regular play mode, you both get the same extra XP.

Yes, they are brainstorming 2v2 mode. The info is from yesterday:
