I prefer the old one by far. I don't find it very much fun facing off people with minions that have hundreds, maybe even thousands, of health. Tarecgosa+HP imp+Baron Rivendare is just fatiguing to face, especially if you lowroll and it's not a Murloc round so that you can poison them to death and you aren't lucky with spores.
Old ones also had possible HUGE 200/200++ minions ... Demons , beasts , mechs , all could before we even got elementals , which took it even further with Nomu ...
And that's exactly why we have and need poison (sefin needing a fix isn't a question), why Maexxna's removal was a shit move rather than fix her, and why spore needs to be a 1/2 or even 1/3 so it can't get ghoul'ed or token'ed so easily.
Nagas are snakes, right? I hope we get poison there too, just... without the uber broken couple of weeks like we had with every single tribe introduced after the initial 4.
It's gotten to the point who is quickest on buying/selling/buffing. I don't care for it anymore. Keep it simple stupid.
I used to love BG, now I play it once a week ..
For a few turns and then remember why it is boring now and leave.
They screwed it all up with buddies, now you aren't actually competing against other people --- more like there are 8 people playing 8 different games with overlap.
They have screwed up Battlegrounds before and later fixed it, but I don't think that will happen this time.
They seem to have some sort of feature-itis thing going on where they add new levels of stuff "because reasons".
There are enough nose pickers that a free game like BG will always have a solid audience, but screwing the game mode up means the audience will drift to close to 100% nose pickers.
Buddies patch ruined the game mode. It's in the worst state its ever been in. Leave it to the devs to ruin the only good mode the game had left. Good job guys.
honestly i don't see stats (in a vacuum) as a problem. they screwed up BIG TIME with some stuff like Tarecgosa (should've never been put in) and Sefin (dumbest sh*t ever made). Poison as a mechanic is necessary to counter sheer stats, but the game state right now is incredibly unfun. Murlocs are in ? force it or play mechs. Murlocs are out ? play mechs and beat everything else. so bad
After a few weeks of the buddy system I yearned for the old system. Prior to the buddies I felt like things were basically as good as they can get. Yes, maybe a bit boring but everything seemed to be viable with Quillboars being a bit underpowered, but not one tribe dominating. It felt good.
Now, it's like someone else put it, everyone in the lobby is playing a separate game with a little overlap. I also think the new hero designs have been mediocre and polarizing. They are either super weak or just feel bad to play against.

Huge stats have been part of the game since the Brann-Pogo era...

Sefin: avenge 3, Gives poisonous to minions for this TURN ONLY
Tarecgosa, like lich bazhal and togwaggle, cap the stats it can gain per battle at like 10/10 or something.
