Wow, deep and insightful post OP. You really raised some interesting points. I’m going to have to think long and hard about this before I reply properly but here are some initial thoughts.
I played Battlegrounds for the first time yesterday and I enjoyed it. It seems like an interesting mode, totally different from anything else we’ve seen in HS to date. It will make a nice change from ladder especially while we wait for the new expansion. Is it the bestest thing in the all the world ever? No, I don’t think it is. But it is a lot of fun and it’s essentially a new game. I can see it getting very popular though. While Rng is a factor there are so many little choices that affect how games turn out. The time limit is also quite stressful and there’s a lot to think about in the minute you have to get everything setup. I’ll definitely be playing more and trying to improve. I would kind of describe Battlegrounds as Deceptively simple, insanely fun. Hmm, now where have I hear d that before??
Re Tournament Mode, I really think that not more than 5% of the people who want it would actually use it more than once. It’s now been blown so out of proportion that everyone is mad that we don’t have it but nobody would actually use it. If they delayed Tournament Mode for Battlegrounds then I think that was an excellent move. Tournament Mode would have been fun for maybe a small group of players but Battlegrounds is something that everyone can enjoy.
Also remember the Battlegrounds is still in beta so it will get better.
Played one time and won was pretty dull...done with that unless there is a reward attached...total fucking waste of resources to even implement imo. This isn’t the reason they put it in the game my way. They are just beta testing bullshit code to try and implement later for a tournament mode or something along those lines.

So you don't play for fun but for gold or packs? wow..
I wish they made a mode strictly for people who like fun decks and meme-ing. I am certain smart people can figure out ways to discourage net decking and quest-completing.
But at least they are doing something different! even if it is just -- yet again -- copying the gaming industry instead of innovating upon it.
I only play the game for fun so I don't really play standard. I love solo adventure and battleground and I try tavern brawl and arena every time there is something new.

The mode you are looking for is called Friends List.

Takes too long,
Very repetitive.
Too RNG heavy.
Thank you for another constructive post. Nobody is making you play this game.
So you want short games
Always different
And predictable
It's in beta for a reason.
Send this constructive criticism to Blizzard.
Mode is still in closed beta. Maybe they'll change something when they read your prescient words.
Nope.
I haven't really been enjoying it much either.
I think Blizz is paying tons of money to the streamers to play this garbage.
Dead but dreaming
This is all that need be said
tournament mode died for this crap
And tournament mode was only for people who r playing tournament lol

The worst thing about Battlegrounds at the moment is that I can't watch any normal HS streams. That makes me kind of salty.
I played it, didn't like it - but I don't complain because I don't have to play it...
As long you are not facing the exactly same shit 8 time out of ten is less repetitive than ladder and shaman quest evolve.
So you don't play for fun but for gold or packs? wow..
Imagine going through life, never being able to appreciate things, always complaining and never being happy.
