Introducing the new Battlegrounds Salt Thread! Come here and drop your metric ton of NaCL every time you get killed for that exact 22 health by a 🧀 ball opponent with two 100/100 golden Wraith Weavers.
I'll start us up.
Soooooo tired of getting lucked on this game. I play at around 6800 and know I would be higher but face the luckiest of opponents all the freakin time. I avoid swipers because they ALWAYS hit the taunt on the wall, I can't go Murlocs because my Megasaurs ALWAYS give me three options of +3 health, +3 attack, +1/+1 or windfury or plants. If I'm facing a beast build and the battle is down to a hydra, a rat pack, a hyaena, and a mama bear.... The rat pack ALWAYS gets attacked. So frustrating. Top that
1) Going beasts and Pack Leader / Hyena gets sniped IMMEDIATELY (even after taunts) in the midgame, making the stretch to late game deathrattle build TOUGH.
2) Fuck murlocs. Tier 4 triples giving shit options. No seers EVER showing up. No megasaurs or, maybe worse, awful options from megasaurs.
Honorable mention for facing AFK on turn three. Man that rarely feels good. Or ... playing as AFK and getting garbage picks lol.
...because the goal of the early game is to have enough power so you dont get hit by tons of chip damage. Trust me I play around 6500 that's literally the best move with those two discoveries.
I mean you can take the 5/4 get smacked for a little damage and cross your fingers Zerus gives you something good but that's not as consistent as taking the 5/3 deathrattle and 2/5. The 5/3 is good if you can get a Cobalt.
Had brann and megasaur. Wanted to do sudden murloc swap when I got a bagurgle but 70 seconds was not enough to go through playing 8 murlocs and choosing from 6 discovers, ended my turn with 4 gold and died lacking one 6 hp attack because I didn't swap megasaur for coiler I discovered while trippling murloc tokens
The subreddit at Plebbit is just a bunch of memes and circle-jerking. I hate it. Why are there so many morons on reddit? Where can I read about some serious discussion on BG? This latest patch that has seen Watcher moved to tier 4 is an absolute disaster. It destroyed AFK and Tirion is still busted. Easily goes top 1 every game. Only beatable with full stack of murlocs.
Beasts are still terrible unless you roll into 5. Demons are only viable on Tirion and if you pick up Juggler. Mech is the only safest build-path which everyone now picks. Terrible patch.
i love when my pack leaders/hyenas get instantly sniped in first 1-2 attacks coz fuck you when i also have infested wolves and ratpacks,always feelsgood.
Is this the worst meta ever for Battlegrounds? Seems like whoever gets the Cobalts or the Baron Rivendare first just wins. Cant believe they moved Watcher to tier 4 and left Cobalt in 3. Cobalt is like Nightmare Amalgam now...its just THE most sought after minion and anyone who doesnt get one is behind and probably losing.

Not sure if this is satire.....don’t need another salt thread though.
Well first salt post here.
Each time I go beast I lose because they attack mama bear and pack leader as soon as possible.
When you get 2 cobalts early af and you pass up the lookouts because you go mechs but get no goddamn leapers and modules the whole game
The 1st step towards a better game is firing Mike Donais! We had enough of his "skillful" balances!
#FireMikeDonais
Tried this weeks ago. The people don't want it.
Things that happen 100% of the time to me:
Facing A.F.K. on turn 2 when I pick Rafaam.
Tripling at 9 gold with a full Murloc board and not being given Brann, Bagurgle, or Primalfin Lookout as an option.
Getting down to three players remaining and being the only one who doesn't get a ghost round over the next two matches.
Popping a Mounted Raptor with my final attack only to have it summon a Toxfin.
My two biggest are:
1) Going beasts and Pack Leader / Hyena gets sniped IMMEDIATELY (even after taunts) in the midgame, making the stretch to late game deathrattle build TOUGH.
2) Fuck murlocs. Tier 4 triples giving shit options. No seers EVER showing up. No megasaurs or, maybe worse, awful options from megasaurs.

Turn 1: Yog
Turn 2: Tirion
Turn 3: AFK
Turn 4: Sindragosa
RIP Golden Wrathweaver/Floating Watcher
AFK Run:
Discover 1: Coldlight Seer Crystalweaver Replicating Menace
Discover 2: Shifter Zerus Screwjank Clunker Houndmaster
In that case you pick the ReplicTing because its the best option then Screwjank it. That way you get 10/11 n stats.
No
Why?

Janky games. Boring games. Fart noise.
That hotfix was really lazy, with just a single change it was predictable that #1 archetype will be obliterated and #2 will take over.
We need more card chanes, especially some love for beasts because they're way too unreliable/vulnerable to being sniped right now.
