The Kel’Thuzad in first place big seems to be getting more and more common. I know it’s a small sample size, but I played 10 games of BG today and the bug happened 4 times. That seems to be a lot more than it used to happen when it was first getting reported about a month ago. Blizzard really needs to fix this, BG really isn’t beta anymore and they are charging for perks for it, this is unacceptable. How much different is charging for a broken game mode compared to cyberpunk that is getting CDPR a lawsuit for being broken?
Same here. Faced the same person 4 times in a row. Weird thing was that, according to the interface, both other players kept facing me 4 times in a row...
This happened to me twice this past week. No response from Support. Can't really see the point of playing Battlegrounds when it is actively preventing me from winning.
I thought they fixed this since I hadn't seen in it in 2 months (and previously it happened all the time).
And then today it happened to me.
Was playing as Hooktusk --- (who actually is an above average hero if played right, on 8 mana you level up and use hero power and often triple a 1 drop into a Tier 5 minion --- if you whiff, you get to try again next turn.).
And when I won and finished 2nd to a corpse I was slightlly disappointed. I already have the achievement for Hooktusk and winning with her is rather easy, but still this glitch is pretty bad if you miss an achievement.
That and the gold coin counter often being wrong (how hard can that really be to fix?) are 2 rather amazing Battlegrounds bugs.

Why do you guys keep calling this a bug when it's obviously some sort of hack or exploit?

The best answwr I can give you is that when I finish 2nd like that I do get the +100ish mmr, which is the first place's 'reward'.
There's no benefit in being first other than achievement points and maybe some bragging rights.

If it’s so obvious to you Im sure you can give some sort of explanation?

Because it's not. It's a visual bug. There are only two players left and the winning player gets the +100 ranking reward.
Not true. I saw it happen the other day when there were still 7/8 players in the lobby. The 'Player' only had 1 minion, apparently battled the same player every time and never lost health or left 1st place.

What exactly happened?
If someone leaves the next opponent will 'kill' them and the recap will be frozen just like when someone dies. So yeah, that player won't lose health and the last two opponents will always be the same.
It can happen in any lobby, the only telling sign is that the "second" place receives the maximum reward as if they were first place - because they are.
Nah this is exploit for sure, ive got screenshots of people playing like that while changing their comp every two to three turns. They play normally on tavern phase, while turning into kt on battle phase and avoid any dmg taken if they lose combat. When it comes to top 4 they just leave on kt, which will guarantee first place since you wont play ghosts anymore.
I'm not crying conspiracy theory, I'm sure it is a bug, but it definitely happened very early in the game.
I was going to mention it on here but I've asked before about whether a bug could possibly be a hack and for some reason the basement dwellers don't take it too well. I wasn't sure it had something to do with the current disconnect meta.
I probably didn't win the lobby (because I'm really bad at this current BGs patch) so I'm not sure what the conclusion was, but it is a bit disconcerting that it happens.

I won the BG, but there was a guy at 1st place for some reason...
Yep, that's the bug. While it's mostly visual - you received the +100 ranking like winning in first place - there have been reports that achievements (Pretzel Mustard) are affected as well.
But it's not an exploit or hack where people somehow turn on "ghost mode" to steal first place like claimed above.

Edit out names and post them for analysis here.
Is this the sort of thing you are talking about?
