Because BGs is probably the main one now... not even joking, because there is similar stats from couple of years ago, I would assume ladder doesn't look as good in comparison. Though maybe they plan to release even more stats later and this is just first of many...

I thought they stopped doing this. Nice to see it back...

I never would have guessed that Arena gets more plays than Tavern Brawl. There are dedicated Arena players, sure, but most people barely touch the mode. On the other hand, almosteveryone plays a game or two in the Brawl each week, and I assumed some casual players keep coming back to it. After all, that must be why the Tavern Brawl gets top billing on the main screen while the Arena is hidden away in a secondary screen.

I guess I was wrong. But Duels’ poor showing is, sadly, predictable. Even accounting for the fact that it was introduced late in the year, it had fewer plays than the other modes. Edit: Flux points out below that with how late in the year Duels arrived, its numbers are actually very good.

so they release so many stats about every mode in the game....except for ladder both standard and wild. Whats the reason behind it?

Wow, this numbers really surprised me. A friend told me yesterday "Is classic mode a good call? Can they even spread the playerbase even more?" To wich I responded "They surelly still can" but I would not have believed that many players still played.

I hope this does spell death for the Exodia builds. The endless tokens should just not happen.

I was hoping Brann would be removed entirely tbh. 

I have a final dead giveaway hint prepared, but I really want people to guess it before that

"Battlegrounds is stale" says the person who literally plays only one strategy.

Junkbot should be fine in Tier 4. It isn't going to be a carry as it was in the past because token builds are pretty bad nowadays. He will work fine as a transition and stabilization unit. And fixing Brann + Khadgar is highly appreciated.

Actually, an interesting idea! The only major disadvantage I see is that it involves a new type of currency (with subtypes). But as I've heard, Blizz has already created unique currencies for Chinese region. So it shouldn't be a problem.

I need to hover Iksar's twitter when he opens these questions, I'd like to know if Rogue will get another hero portrait outside of Valeera in a new outfit 

Fine. Feels bad when you brick from time to time, but this deck highrolls very consistently and you don't even notice how many more times you feel good rather than bad.

A N Y O N E ?  O R  H I N T ?

that's what I'm wondering, too. 

Yeah, super balanced to scale normally and then run into a monster with 21 triples on turn 10 /s

@Pezman, that list is pretty good. Maybe I'd cut Vulpera. You want only <1 cost spells.

I just realised the golden animation on this one is basically nonexistent.

Hi ArticFox,

Tempo Storm reports are not based on any stats / data, but on biased, snobbish, random opinions. And they don't get it right even by accident. For example, here's a hot take from the latest report - Ramp Paladin is tier 3 and loses to Warriors. The only thing worse are their deck lists full of bait cards and such... Wild TS reports are much more useful, of course only when compared to how notorious Standard TS reports are.

HS Replays is completely useless if you don't have premium. And if you do, you need to know how to interpret all their raw data without falling into some traps.

Vicious Syndicate is good, especially when the meta stabilizes. Their newest report is coming in less than an hour.

I'm pretty sure they're only changing how tokens work in the shop-phase (i.e. triples are formed after a battlecry resolves instead of during the battlecry) so Scallywag Exodia will probably still work.

I also expected Junkbot to be removed eventually so I'm surprised they moved it to tier 4 again. I actually think this is quite a big buff to mechs since Junkbot used to be really strong on tier 4, but maybe it'll be more balanced in the current version of Battlegrounds.

USED to be is the keything.

Are far crazier scaling builds/card then junkbot that dont need as much support or your minions to all die.

Well, that's all pretty inconvenient for us in Europe. I'm sure OoC has got it covered though! :)

Am I right in thinking Blizz will be making it all available afterwards?

Outside OoC will likly be on reddit,hearthpwn and other fansites for HS and possible WoWhead aswell.

I'm not a Diablo players, but Immortal doesn't look like a sequel to me.

Its kind of a prequel. from what i renember it takes place after diablo 2 but before diablo 3

• Battletag - MisterFerro#1211
• Region- NA
• Trade - Challenge a friend 1,500 xp quest

Of course you can add Zilliax by removing KT if you feel like you face more of Aggro matchups.

I just hope they bring back Tess Greymane. It was fair but most of all was fun. Thief Rogue it's an archetype I would be happy if it becomes permanent

I HOPE NOT.

To much of the core/classic set would have to be thief support to support tess, to the point that it would be basicly ALL of it.

And rogue identies would be lacking,really lacking.

And thief rogue is a pernament archetype its like like  freeze shaman/murloc warlock ,it something that keeps getting support almsot evry single expansion.
