I really don't understand how dumbs can be the people in charge to manage mercenaries. They made finally a great change with the tasks and now people are not forced anymore to that stupid farm.
And then, what they did do? They broke the PVP. Besides, it is obvious that the PVP in mercenary is in a situation of disaster because I have a 4 min wait to play a game. But how dumbs they can be with the buff to Trigore.
Trigore is now over any scale of power level, it is in every comp. He is able to do 100+ damage per turn with a spell speed of 1. How can be this team so dumb who has not seen this problem? It was enough to do the test for one match, with a random team, to realize that Trigore with that change would have been exaggeratedly strong.
Valeera is strong yes. Now she is indirectly nerfed in hell and every frost comp suck. Trigore is in every comp. Then, it was much better with the previous meta. Valeera was strong but not unbeatable, now there is only Trigore.
My faith in this mode is truly lost. I wait months for a reasonable change, they did it, but they broke the PVP.
I have no other words to express how bad is this team in charge to manage this mode.
Yes. PVP in mercenaries was fun, there was some kind of diversity in the comps. Now it is only Trigore. It couldn't be more boring than that. They couldn't do a worse job. And all this was avoidable if they had tried Trigore at least once with this stupid change.
But we know that Blizz is not testing so, here we are. Anyway, this mode is clearly in the abyss, the data and the long waiting times say it (I don't wait less than 3 minutes to play a game), plus it is managed by stupid people, what future can it have? They made a good thing and they destroy another good thing. Before PVP was fun and we had to do the boring farm. Now we don't have to do the boring farm but PVP sucks.
Yeah, Trigore is out of hand. It was "first damage only" for a reason. Unfortunately, it'll likely be this way for awhile since they tend not to make balance changes until incremental patches, so don't expect to see anything until 23.1 at the earliest.
They simply needed to try it and reduce its attack for this change. No. It is too complicated. And now PVP is only a 75,4% win rate, or with beasts with Trigore. There are only 2 comps.
If you want to play PVP in mercenaries, you can only play this comp and hope to win the flip coin. As it is, It is so dumb PVP in mercenaries. If you play something different Trigore will rape you.
And I would like also to criticize the nerf to Varden. Sure that he is was a strong mercenary. But why do they want him with an RNG. Mercenaries have been appreciated because it is low RNG (with flip coins). If they start to add RNG to characters, it will be another RNG based mode where people complain.

Varden seems to be a lateral change in PvE but a nerf in PvP. They're stronger against single target or in mop-up situations, but it's certainly a nerf for wide boards (and bosses that summon adds).
I tried Trigore today for the first time and indeed he is now broken AF, didn't lose a single match to Valeera, Frost or anything else and it wasn't even close. I am sure some full Trigore counters will start popping up soon, but it is not a healthy meta, much worse than before...
With the new task system the stranger drop rate was lowered significantly. I personally don’t think it’s a problem, the new system is a lot nicer than task farming.
Blizzard is a full on cash shop business they don't tak eintegrity very seriously they are in this for the money first and the game the mercs the cards take a huge back seat.
They make loads of money selling busted cards merc packages and then after they exhaust the sales they might impose a nerf.I mean geesh look no further than Kazakusan an over priced mini set a busted card and it still remains busted.
There should be no such thing as merc coins in a cash shop the rewards should scale up every single time they add a new merc.I knew from day 1 where they were headed a very scummy ordeal to offer really bad rewards then add in items to the cash shop that are in direct competition with said rewards.
Pretty much everyone was in agreement for years the only thing that should reside in cash shops are cosmetics but this team goes one firther to diminish the value by offering portraits in rewards/packs so in essence you are getting nothing a pixel portrait when you EXPECTED to get an actual merc and some coins.The coins/rewards should also be completely random and not manipulated to make sure yo unever get enough legendary tokens and have to spend in the cash shop
My suggestion do not spend any money on Blizzard games let them hear you let them know you do not like the way they are doing business the way they are treating customers as dummies.
IDK if we have top send emails to the top bosses at Blizzard or how far we have to go but we need to let them know to tell their team leads to smarten up quit trying to scam consumers and let Blizzard execs know you won't be supporting any of their games until they smarten up.
the terrible reputation that they reached, both as company values (harassment for example) and general complaints about customers
the dramatic loss in share in their games (see WOW players lost, HS and so on)
Their general strategy of money-making should be changed. I mean if they want to keep their competitive advantages, most of the cows are already milked, they should change very fast.
Shortly, it is not possible that they released a new mode, they sell so many things for this mode and there are people (like me) who put money into it and they have this crap after so long. It is indecent behaviour. They feed and discredit the company on their own. This mode is a joke. I liked the idea, but I spend more time on this forum complaining than playing with it. Nothing has worked for months, finally, they make a fair change (tasks) and they ruin the other half of the game (PVP for Trigore).
It's indecent that they sell packs of € 50 (the cost of a triple-A game) and they don't try a fucking mercenary after the buff.
I stopped playing because it was interesting/intriguing but what i expected the first day became real and worse than i thought.I found it disturbing they immediately went after the way people were farming but chose to be a bad business by turning this over in a week or two and into a very heavy cash shop ...gimmick.
I am not playing a million games in hopes to get somewhere hopes to get enough coins and level up mercs i want the games to be FAIR to all players and not rotate around slow farming and cash shops.I want it to be FUN and not see that it revolves around a cash shop.
Know what this game is worth about 20 bucks.If they want to once a year release say 50 new mercs fine but we should NEVER see tokens and or mercs sold in the cash shop that is crossing the line.

They obliterated the pvp of mercenaries in just one patch, the team of mercenaries seems incredibly underpaid and helpless.
They managed to created a meta out of the most hated characters of previous metas, Diablo(+Kazakus) and Valeera(+Trigore).
Bravo!

And how can you not playtest that Trigore ability? There are so many combos with it like Galvangar+Kazakus that are just board wrecking turn 1.
PvP sucks now, you are right.
Yes, and how they buffed Trigore is also fine, because before it was a bad mercenary.
The problem is that they had to reduce a lot its starting attack for this change. Now he can do 100+ damages in the first turn.
Merce what? Sorry to tell, but that mode is dead already.
Best card in HS? Mastercard.
Sure it is dead. Because it is managed by retarded. The starting idea was not bad.

This is not constructive.

I only play PvE Mercenaries but will definitely use this comp now.

and then I got no strangers in 1 hour pretty nice!

Yes, I agree, but considering:
