Can we stop it with this cliche on this sub??? Jesus Christ, it feels like 90% of posters here are constantly on their period. Every time something new is introduced it is immediately dismissed as "money grabbing". Can we think of something new to say for a change?
Because it is a money grabbing mode if it wasn't they would add a standard only version
Everyone always acts like beta means something it's just a phony marketing tool to make you think they have more plans to improve it but they don't.
They still have battlegrounds in "beta" whens its been out for plenty of months already
The game mode is just a trash cash grab
Technically speeking the mode is in early acces and not even in an official beta. And ofcourse beta means something, it tells the user that the gamemode is not considered the finished product and that it's still missing fundemental things. In this case fundamental things would be alternativ starting HP and starting Treasures aswell as the heroic mode. I'm not even talking about all the data they get to balance the game. People always act like Blizzard devs are all incompetend but, there is a huge difference between 30-40 playtesters and a few 100 thousends. Things like roubes of gaudiness might be very strong in the internal playtest, but the gamedesigner/playtesters didn't found it too strong compared to some of the others treasures. Now they have more data and can act accoardingly.
Battlegrounds had/has the same thing going on. In the first few weeks they already nerfed many heroes and tactics like mechs. At this point people were alreay questioning why it's still in beta and then they gave us more information over the opponents tactics by changing the hoverwindow. Then we also got pirates together with a tribe rotation and now elementals. My point is that everything here changed more than just the meta, it changed fundamental parts of the gamemode.
And no, Duels is no Cashgrab. A cashgrab refears to an overpriced product that only exists in an intend to make some easy money, like releasing a new Battleroyale game in 2018. Duels is a gametype only a small minority asked for and that hasn't been etableshed before (like PuBg). The funny thing is that by that definition Battleground is an Cashgrab because it released in the year where Auto battler games became popular, yet it still is an incredibly popular mode.
So even if Duels was a cashgrab it doesn't mean that the mode has to be bad. Or to put in in an more simpel way: cashgrab != bad game.
Oh, and
it's just a phony marketing tool to make you think they have more plans to improve it but they don't.
Duels updates are literally part of the Roadmap for the next 4 months
Nerfs and new cards , treasures that's content and balancing
Changing core features is the result of a true beta/early access (same thing)

A standard only version would be appallingly boring considering how few sets it'd touch and how many more synergies wild has, that isn't the issue. If you want to find an issue, is not letting players have the wild cards for free to put in their decks (and just for that mode). Or christ, at least let players finally buy old adventures with gold rather than actual money.

Didn't think they could make something more random than BGs, but BY GOLLY they did it!!
