Hearthstone

Just watch 20 minutes of Hearthstone, Warcraft and Rumble streams on Twitch consecutively.

Murlocs are out of control again and now it's a totally different reason. Now everyone gets poison and enough life that div shields aren't even necessary.

We need a unit, fairly formidable, called Herpetologist. While this unit is alive your units cannot be poisoned.

Right now only rly beefy mech comps can take them out and it's a little ridiculous. If murlocs are in lobby just forget about playing elems, demons and quillboar. 

Tech card needed. Maybe make it like the snake where you can give your unit a dose of anti venom like it gives reborn.....

As title says, has anyone here purchased the BG board skin and do you think it's worth it?  Is it neat?  Does it have interactables?  etc.  I haven't seen any videos reviewing it anywhere so wanted to see if I could get any feedback on if it makes the experience worth it or not.

Thanks!

I did it everyone I got the spicy pretzal mustard thanks to Malygos elementals and just wanted to let you know :)

Murlocs in Battlegrounds are just a bit too weak to be enjoyable, right now.

I think an easy way to buff them would be to simply remove the Murloc Tidecaller from the pool of minions. It would make all murloc generation and discovery effects a little bit stronger, and it would help Fungalmancer Flurgle quite a lot.

Any thoughts?

This is a bit of a rant, but mostly it's a question.

Whenever I am tied for health with another player, I am always ranked below them. When I am eliminated at the same time as another player, I always end up in the lower rank.

This was particularly frustrating today when I had the "Finish in the top 4" quest, got eliminated at the same time as another player, and I took 5th place while the other guy got 4th place. No quest completion for me.

My question is this: how does the game determine where to place players at the same health, or who lose at the same time?

PS: I know it's not Bob, he's too pure a soul to do petty stuff like this.

Have you had a match where a player drops out early but, instead of falling to 0 HP, they're just permanently locked at their current HP? It's happened to me twice in the past week or so. They keep their player portrait on the sidebar but are Kel Thu'zad during battles. It's not just a visual glitch, they rank above me at the end and knock me down a place. Battlegrounds has always been a broken mess but this is just ridiculous IMO. 

I've played literally too many games to count since the patch. I've played all f-ing weekend. It must have been 100 games by now. I'm at the point where I'm just tanking my MMR conceding to try to find the new hero. 

I payed real money for "perks." Why can't I play the new content? This is really frustrating.

Hi, I have been experimenting for a while now! This is the result:

So I was just knocked out of battlegrounds, but I was sitting first with 40HP (no hits on me yet) and 6 players left. N the next round I lost and hit for 12 damage and it ‘killed’ me and I was knocked our hit of the match. Glitch? Big? What in the heck?! 

Hello everyone

This is the third time this has happened to me, this time i'm asking the community if it's the same for them. Every time this has happened my chances to win the last fight are really high but my health is lower than the guy that gets 1st place, the fight never happens.

What happened: I'm playing a Battlegrounds game and doing really well. For example, the last time it happened I'm using elementals, my minions are really big (60+/60+ stats, divine shield, wind fury, 80/150+ taunt) and only 3 people left (me and 2 more), I get to fight a real opponent, the other guy get's to fight a ghost, I destroy my opponent and i'm ready to go for the final fight but the Battleground game ends and i'm awarded 2nd place with no final fight.

Like i said this has happened to me 3 times by now in the last week, has anyone else see this? 

Edit: Oh and in case anyone was wondering, I know is not a visual bug due to the fact that I didn't make the first place achievement with the hero that I was using in that fight.

The last patch has just exacerbated what I think was the biggest annoyance with battlegrounds: the timer is too short! It really limits the plays you're able to make during your turn. The latest patch introduces prizes that you have to pick from, leaving you with even less time to make your play.

I say the minimum time for the recruitment phase in Battlegrounds should be extended by 5 or 10 seconds. What do you think?

Really enjoying this new patch. Things have been very mixed up and I love the approach to keeping things fresh like this.

Y Shaarj is a mistake. Even at 0 Mana it's debatable because of space. Not adding more seconds to decide prizes is a pain in the butt too. You can sometimes find yourself debating and goodbye turn. Well that will get better with time.

Loving the new 'taunt tribe'. The guy who gets buffs is not to be overlooked. 

Patches is playable again!! A nice consolation for losing Gala.. maybe bring him back with Millhouses +1 to tavern tiers..?

Great patch, Battlegrounds Team.

So simple story really I had a great board in battlegrounds today but I was cheated out of first place not by cheesy divine poison or anything but by the game literally not letting me even fight for first.

For context I had (69/72) cave hydra, (48/44) scallywag, two gold mini rags (54/55) and (34/37) accordingly, (6/10) amalgam on, (59/61) amalgamate I stole from the curator at the start and a (46/127) rock guy.

So I was Rafaam with this strong board with 2 foes left I beat one guy and then the game ended with Al'akir still alive. The game did go on for some time so maybe we just hit the turn cap or something because it lasted long enough for me to get two tier six prizes (all that glitters which was used on mini rag and throw the bone which was used on hydra).

So I'm just trying to wrap my head around why I didn't get a final fight for first with Al'akir anyone have any ideas?

Gnah. Please move Nomi and Majordomo one or two tiers up, thanks. 

Why can they not learn? Tirion was decided too op he was deleted when adding just +1 +1 to BAD units. Now you can pick and choose and give +2 +1 to the best of the best (albeit just up to 5 of them). Jaraxus gives +1 +1 but most demons are bad targets so getting first place is difficult.

An effective change would be making it affect up to four units I think. 

Can someone tell me what the hell they were thinking or why they won’t hotfix this?? Every game is 6 ppl going elementals and the other two brave souls losing. Whoever is lucky enough to gobble up the most key elementals win. Simple as that.

Heroes are a mess right now too. If you are offered 4 of the 75% of bad ones your chances plummet as well. I’ve never seen this meta so bad. Even during the Gentle Megasaur days ppl still felt confident going another tribe since murloc early game wasnt amazing. 

I think the 4/1 wf unit needs to go. It’s laughably strong and easy to buff unlike all other div shield unit. This sucks so much. Give me back my game... 

Guys this has to stop. Why in the freaking world do people need to contemplate which one they want this long or get up to stuff more junk food in their face while innocent folks like me have to suffer this wait, like every other game?

i know it will never stop, but at least for the BG players on this website, can we make a vow to make ours picks quickly?

nevermind.  I thought I could get something of a BG community going, but there seems to be zero interest.  Good luck.

I had relatively smooth sailing to 6k, using a standard strategy and trying to hit power turns, but recently, most of my comps end up being garbage menagerie and I'm consistently hitting bottom 4, usually 6th and 7th.  I need some sort of basic guide, or someone to coach/spectate me.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I'm not looking for hero specific guides, more or less just general strategy.  I feel pretty lost on every turn. 

Any help, tips, guides, suggestions, etc would be greatly appreciated.  Please don't downvote this simply because of who is posting - this is not a salt thread, this is a desperation thread.
