Before the latest patch i was actually enjoying battlegrounds A LOT. I could win with beasts, mechs even with Demons sometimes. Now since the latest patch its IMPOSSIBLE to win if i dont go Murlocs or Menagerie with ..... murlocs. Maybe only with mechs if i get really lucky do some cobolt guardian or kangor shenanigans. But Murlocs right now are so ridicusly dumb to the point that the ruin my whole battlegrounds experience.
Coldlight seer should move up to tier 3 and toxfin should be enterily removed from battlegrounds. Also i dont understand why they put that new 5 tier murloc in the game, murlocs were already too strong.
I will just stick to ladder until they fix this BS
Isn't it interesting that the Standard meta became garbage right before Battlegrounds came out? They could have fixed it quite easily -- by doing exactly what they did with Luna's Pocket Galaxy earlier this year -- but for some reason they chose not to.
And now we have a patch that makes Battlegrounds a dismal joke just before the new expansion for Standard (and Wild).
A cynical person might start to suspect they are manipulating the various metas to drive traffic to different game modes, to give investors and the corporate goons at Activision the impression that each new thing they do is a rousing success, pulling in big, big numbers!

Balance is not good; King Bargle is not only very strong, it helps fill out the part of the game where Murlocs would fall a touch behind on stats.
Toxfins making everything poisonous can take down really strong enemies, and if you luck into some divine shields from a Gentle Megasaur you could end up pretty much unstoppable. It's still technically Beta, so I'm sure they'll adjust again.

It's nuts. Paired with the changes to the rating system (accidentally implemented, without a rating reset? Making huge rating swings commonplace?) it's just silly playing. There's barely any HP difference between 7th and 3rd, but that's about 200 rating's worth. And look! I'm still bouncing between two opponents for most of the BG!
It was a bad change. I was actually enjoying Murlocs prior to the last patch; now they're all but required. And worst of all, it adds an extra layer of game-changing RNG with the Megasaur adapt options. I'm not saying the rest of the game is pure by any means, but there are generally a few viable options for every comp. With Murlocs, if you don't find divine shield off the Megasaur you just lose to the guy who did.
And yes, I'm salty because I rushed six on my last game, hit three Brann + Megasaurs, and still didn't find it.
And now we have a patch that makes Battlegrounds a dismal joke just before the new expansion for Standard (and Wild).
If you think Battlegrounds is worse than standard right now, I don't even know what to tell you.
Except for that is opinion based entirely. Because I not only think standard is ridiculously fun right now, but also despise battlegrounds at the moment. Which I know you disagree with, but that's okay.
