    The poison animation in BGs is awful.

    Maybe it's just Megasaur that should go.

    Poisonous is a necessary evil to combat the ridiculous stat scaling that can occur, as Dover said

    I think maybe the bigger problem is things like having a board of 5-6 Poisonous minions due to things like Megasaur or repeated Toxfins.

    Hmmm.......

    Yeah, I think they could do without poison being a buff to stop people from just building an entire board of poison.

    Though it was significantly rarer before. Bagurgle has caused significant issues. Now it's possible to build murlocs that can contend in late game without having to hit brann/megasaur for the poison/divine shields.

    Now hitting the megasaur combo just makes a highly likely win a near certainty.

    That said, removing all the poison buffs would leave you only with Maexxna at Tier 6. Perhaps they should add in a few more poisonous minions with lesser stat-lines and different tribes at tier 4/5 if they do remove toxfin/megasaur.

    the big reason for me as to why i don't play battlegrounds is the huge way it revolves around divine shield and poison

    Best way to win divine shield murloc battles is to be Nef. Feels like cheating.

    Aside from some balancing, I'd really like them to work on their matchmaking within the battlegrounds lobbies.

    Why am I constantly bouncing between the same people? That person has by far the strongest set-up in the lobby. If you let me play against anyone else I likely hit top 4, but no you're going to face me off against that same person twice in 3 matches and make me take so much damage I get eliminated from 35+ health.

    7k!

    Hearthstone-Screenshot-12-09-19-22-53-29.png

    I had a bad run that dropped me from 6800 to 6500, but I bounced back with 1-2-1-1-2 to finally break the 7k mark.

    A big win with Mal'ganis and 1-2 finishes with George really kept the streak going since placing high with Rafaam and Brann are expected. I've been working hard on placing well with mediocre/bad heroes with far more aggro gameplay and it's been paying off. I won the George run by doing a deathrattle beast build once I realized no one else was going that direction. I knocked out 4 people straight and then had a single round to beat Nef before he got a megasaur to finish his murloc build. A golden Ghastcoiler died and spawned well, killing him with room to spare in that single round.

    I'm prob not going to hit 8k because I don't play enough, but hey, still feeling good :)

    Supposedly, being over 5.5k puts you in the top 1%.

    I made it to 5750, but then had a massive streak of setbacks to push me down under 4700. I’m back up over 5k now, but sheesh, this is swingy.

    Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.

    The buying you can do. I think double click on the 100G pricetag? Double click on something, then you can type in how many you want to purchase.

    Opening multiple packs at a time I'm afraid you're forced to do it the fun way. :P

    Opening multiple packs at a time I'm afraid you're forced to do it the fun way. :P

    So the multi-buying you double click on the 1 pack option on the relevant expansion. Then it'll give you a dialog box to input the number of packs you want to buy for gold. The limit in one is 50, so if you have over 5000 gold you'll need to do it a couple of times to buy all the packs you want.

    In terms of auto-opening you have to open them one by one, but you can use space bar to open the next pack and press it again to reveal all the cards. Bit quicker than dragging.

    Though we all know that dragging and warming the pack up before opening brings the best luck.

    If you have autohotkey you can write a macro to spam spacebar when you hold down a specific key. Set it to a corner key like left control, put a book on it, and come back in 5 minutes.

    I'm less worried about this expansion being OP than i am to see the cancerous decks from the previous expansion remain in play. (Wall priest/Wall rogue). that Rogue Legendary Flik should have been a neutral to put a stop to that reborn/deathrattle bullshit.

    Battlegrounds is starting to get a bit repetative. new heroes dont change the sameness of what the late game looks like. if you got a lot of poison and shields or momma bears and beasts your likely gonna win. I think it needs a new arctype like dragons to rotate in and a removal of say, merlocs. either that or a card that lets you buff one of your minions to make them immune to poison.

    They need to adjust murlocs, add dragons, and balance some heroes. Rafaam needs to be changed, Nef's power needs to cost more.

    I think adding a new group like dragons probably would work better with rotating out one of the existing groups. either that or removing a lot of the cards that arent played much at all (of which there are a few).

    Another 1st place! Like ObiFett, I had to abandon my baby (at the time, it was a 1/5 and I wasn't getting the other tribal synergies I needed to pump it) so instead of trying to play the long game and fish for the other Tribal buffs, I simply chose something that was going to better for the current situation.

    (And, yes, that's a board of Murlocs with Poisonous AND Windfury. I even missed a third Megasaur because Mobile, hooray!)

    This meta sucks. It's literally Get Murlocs Or Die Trying and it fucking sucks. Demons aren't strong enough despite the added buffs; Poisonous is way too strong against your big growers, there's anti synergy with Floating Watcher and Mal'ganis, can't get Poisonous or Divine Shield unless Amalgam. Mechs are fine still, but..... Beasts??? Are???????? ?????????????

    So, yep. BGs needs some changes. I'd say fucking get rid of Megasaur at this point and move Bagurgle to T6. Shit's fucking crazy.
