This update is absolutely ridiculous. I know this is posted pretty much twice a day, but it really can't be stressed enough. The devs are releasing more and more broken heroes per update, balance issues are not being taken care of quickly enough, and the game is becoming more dependent on luck than ever before.
I appreciate them fixing heroes like Hooktusk and Eudora, but having a 2 week playable period before ANOTHER hero like Jandice or Rag is released, makes it so half the time we're either waiting for issues to be fixed or actually being able to play the game at a somewhat balanced level.
That said, I don't agree with the idea that if a broken hero is in your lobby you should just shoot for top 4. If any competitive game takes away the ability to be 1st right out the gate for reasons beyond your control, the game should be considered broken. Extremely broken.
This all sucks because I love the game and doing what defenders of the dev say to do of "stop complaining and wait for the next patch" is accepting Blizzards bad style of releasing cyclical issues. You can't just leave the label Beta on a game that's been out for almost a year and continue letting the same issues go through.
Getting a ranking from 1st to 8th in a match or Blizzard hosting a Tournament for it pretty much implies there's a level of competitiveness to it, but ok

Tournaments? That's a thing?
BGs are as "complex" as pet battles in WoW.
But yeah, the problem isn't only in BGs. They keep playing the buff/nerf dance on standard.
it's an auto battle mode. it isn't meant to be competitive lol just have fun. People take battleground wayyy to seriously like .. jeez

God i really hate this type of argument "Game is not competitive so its shouldnt be balanced" That's bullshit. Just because the mode is not competitive (not yet though cause BG tournaments are more and more frequent) it doesnt mean it shouldnt be balanced. Balance is a matter of fun not only a matter of competitiveness.
Honestly the only time i felt like RNG was taking over was the period with the cannons.
The design team is releasing new content at an impressive pace, and they do take care of blatant imbalances.
I do agree that the power level of Jandice and Rag are annoying, but not so much that it makes the game bad. After all even Rag, the most broken hero we've had in a long time, only has an average placement of 3.

Cannons were definitely pretty crazy.
And I agree, the game’s not bad at all. It’s still very fun. It’s just a better strategy for the devs to prioritize fine tuning a beta rather than quickly releasing new content and then spending an even longer time working backwards in fixing all the issues they put out.
I don't think jandice barrow is that big of a problem. Of course she is very strong if you can pop off with pogohoppers, but she isnt that strong if mechs are banned, or she doesnt get any pogo hoppers. Rag on the other hand is incredibly powerful, essentially a cheat code.
I agree with you. But the question is: Is this legally correct? Indeed, you bought another product, it doesn't seems totally legal this policy. It seems a scam.
I like them try new stuff and keeping it fresh. Sometimes they'll fuck up (Ragnaros is too good, Arcane Cannon was a mistake, and not sure about Lil Rag and Nomi), but gotta admit the new BG content I enjoy, even if everybody plays elementals so I can't try and play them despite me enjoying doing so.
On the other hand, still can't understand the new ranking system, neither its existence, nor the need of it. But that does'nt really get me, I come only to try and do good and have fun in the process.
Its sounds like OP thinks hes going to have better results once the strong heroes are nerfed...
I don’t think I even mentioned my results
Well maybe you should then. Then we would at least know if you are bad or not. 90% of these posts are made by frustrated people who cant get better rating and blame balance for that.

Its always the same cycle every expansion:
Nothing will change, maybe try a different game.

Another day, another pointless rant. Circle of life.
