ZBtheman is clearly a mind reader because as he states no one wanted this mode! well actually a lot of people commented and made videos even kripp him self proposed a mode like this because it makes things interesting, seriously get over yourself
And when Kripp actually got to try it out, he too was disappointed.
A lot of us feel let down, because we had such high hopes for this game mode. If this first week is anything to go by, though, Blizzard are taking things in a completely different direction than expected. I feel that even something really simple like "build a deck using only basic cards" would have been far more interesting than this rubbish we got.
That was the thing everyone wanted and expected: Custom gamerules. That and a way to get rid of Huntard spam.
But instead we got 2 premade decks with no customization, from which one has to play like a face hunter if you want to win... NOBODY WANTED THIS!
PREACH IT 2! ELECTRIC BUAGLOO!
But seriously, both of you guys are 100% right. When this was announced I was like "Holy crap! Challengestone! Maybe they will finally let us do 100% custom rules with friends!" But it ended up being, "Holy crap! Blizz just gave me the finger!"

We do not need a fancy short kind of mini adventure game each week. We need a Tournament Mode. Period. Just like Arena, with an entry fee (200 gold for example) That's it. Nothing crazy. Plain and simple.
Preach you saint! PREACH IT!

A new Tournament-Mode would be a very useful mode for the community. I hope it will come in one of the next patches...
I'd rather it come next year. You gotta remember, this is taking the place of one of our card sets this year. I want to at least get one expansion. Although, if they had done tourney mode instead of this crap and then never touched tavern brawl I would have been 10x happier.

Please don't say noone is having fun. I did enjoy this.
Please notice that I said MOST PEOPLE and not NO ONE. I'm glad you are having fun, and the first three games I did I had some fun as well. The problem is the lack of incentive (10 gold for three wins, really? You are going to use that as an argument?) the fact that nefarian is not broken but DEFINITELY BETTER than rags, and the fact that the novelty wears off really quickly means this is the one day me and many other people will be playing this brawl. And with some people, maybe the only time playing brawl for quite a while, maybe even me outside of the free pack.

I haven't played it yet and it sounds boring. They should've just let it be any random boss from Blackrock Mountain vs. another random boss from Blackrock Mountain
Eh, not sure about that. Valestraze vs razor gore would be like having a flamethrower wielding monkey fight against a bull in a wwe cage match while scorpions are being thrown into the ring. So besides being like Japanese wrestling, it would be a nightmare, chaotic, and almost unplayable. Which would actually be better than what they released, good job mate.

This has to be the worst promotion I've seen from Blizzard in awhile, the power imbalance between Ragnaros and Nefarian is laughably in Nefarian's favour ( I am undefeated with Nefarian) and after your first win there is no motivation for continuing to play based on your total number of wins for the week at all. And while I like the idea of promoting assymetrical constructed decks as a way of increasing the skill cap of the players over Arena, i.e. no RNG in drafting a deck resulting in bad Arena runs, and attracting new players to play the game without having to worry about having the card collection to play constructed or the gold to Arena continuously the fact that they took the time to implement this shit over a tournament mode as a competitive constructed alternative to ladder really fucking pisses me off.
So, I guess thank you Blizzard for the free weekly pack, I hope the 9 year olds enjoy your marketing gimmic.
That's the whole point. There's not supposed to BE any sort of motivation. It's not an alternative to ladder. It's not meant to be competitive. It's just people coming together and having fun in an environment with no rewards whatsoever. It's actually good that hardcore Spikes like you disapprove of the system and stay out of a place that was specifically designed to appeal to everyone else.
Besides, it's free. How is that a marketing gimmick?
But the problem is no one is having fun. You can't make a for fun mode and then make the VERY FIRST WEEK total crap.

What were they thinking? Maybe introducing Brawl to all new players in a pretty casual way? The mayority of the players probably don't even knew that Brawl was comming, so pre-made decks was the way to go, 100%. You have years on you to play Brawl, no need to ask for too much this early.
Well when you launch something new and interesting it better be good, otherwise it gives bad first impression. I have already seen people saying that the whole brawl mode is horrible even to it changes in a week. Right now tho the first impression is pretty bad and that's not how you get people interested. But I agree on the pre-made decks part, it does help "casual" players understand the concept better, but in that case they should have provably thought of something that would have made it slightly more interesting for "hardcore" players too.
That's true, but you can't make aveyone happy :P The players who hate on it now(Aka hardcore) will soon get over it when they see what crazy stuff that will come :)
The problem is is that they made almost nobody happy with this. Not only was week 1 a mess. But everyone would have preferred actual new content over goof around mode. Nobody wanted this, nobody asked for this, and when they made it, they flubbed up big time.

If it makes you feel any better Ben Brode recently said on twitter that he admits new deck slots are not confusing.
