Can someone please fucking explain to me how everyone in battlegrounds gets a lightfang at 6-8 Coin turns WITHOUT fail and although you consistently can get buffs over and over its just a long grueling match of 'You're fucked' basically. You can't even head for 2-3-4th place unless you highroll every other player that's ahead of you, which is just impossible even if you do because BAD TRADES exist and fuck up your board even if you're ahead by like 3 turns worth of shit because their 999/1 poisonous just happens to hit your healthiest minion.. even if you end up winning it feels so much worse than mindnumbing grinding to legend because at least with that you have some semblance of controlling RNG and trading.. and y'know you don't lose like 50-100 rank for getting 5-6th place. Even if you get 1st or second in battlegrounds you'll maybe get 30-70, and thats a rough estimate because it feels completely fucking random how much points you get.. even in the games where you kill like 5 players you'll still get 90% of what MMR you lost last round. Battlegrounds is so unbelievably lopsided it's fucking hilarious. You either high roll extremely early and just win guaranteed, low roll at that 'extremely early stage' and have no hope because someone high rolled, hunt for 1 golden/hunt for a lightfang/good 5th or 6th drop the entire game and get basically only boogeymonsters. What a shit gamemode... it's use is entirely "OH LOOK HOW GOOD I HIGHROLLED ON THIS CLIP FROM MY STREAM *jacking himself off*" and even with that it's unfun to look at.. /endrant

Whoever put junkbot and cobalt and all the mech synergies in battleground is a fucking dipshit. More highrolly garbage than a Trolden clip.

Play for 2 days with a decent winrate I'd say with tempo mage, climb from 13 to 6, face multiple odd paladins every star i get towards 5. Derank to 7, play and lose 4 games to paladin. Each time hope to hit the rank floor of 5 queue into the same deck and each time be 1-2 turns away from lethal. Bullshit deck. Almost feels like a insta loss before t1, i can almost see going all the way back to rank 10 smh...

TLDR: Odd Paladin is some fuck. Almost seems you need to have the nuts to have a fighting chance or lose. It's pretty bad that I feel better facing taunt druid and rarely lose to them even though they have tons of armor gain than to face Odd Paladin.

On another topic there's WAY too much of a power creep in hearthstone. I'm a f2p player and i've been playing for a loooong time. I remember introducing and showing a friend hearthstone around before the release of KotFT and r25-20 were t1 decks. Imagine running a basic deck against that. Unbeatable. Let alone the cost in dust for top tier decks... 

Lastly, on my 1st version of tempo mage i got rid of one amani for antonidas and its alone won me games, but is it consistent enough to keep? As of recently ive tried the original decklist and i cant bother trying to get a sample size for that as well so really im just asking for an opinion on whether or not its worth it. When i first tried it it fit perfectly. Sorcerers apprentice with a ton of low cost spells and even coin helps with burst, it's also very threatening. The one anti synergy i can think of is aluneth and antonidas. Prepare to burn 

Edit: rank 8 near rank 9, im happy with rank 6, probably done for the month 

Beg to differ https://gyazo.com/ddf986b1b499a50d52165150b05b42d6

Would Elise/2nd Alchemist be decent as well? I'm thinking Elise but seemingly it would water down the combo 

EDIT: Elise for Valuing out greedy decks, 2nd alchemist for precaution V any deck that runs Geist/added utility EDIT #2: been running the tar creeper variation and climbed from 16-15 to rank 8 in a few hours most of my losses have been from either OTK druid or Kingsbane/especially big priest, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Last Edit: Got to 7 in about a day with 41 wins 26 losses 61% WR Solid Deck although draws at time can be A$$ https://gyazo.com/69c132d3a5b54e0db5264b58d4e50308 https://gyazo.com/3ff040cb41a323e38a36f51bb1d83eef Proof

Can't seem to get past R5, 72 win 55 losses 57% WR

Yeah I don't blame you for the hiatuses, the meta has become stale. I'm full f2p and missing about 5200 dust worth of puuup but deck looks solid. Zola, Thrall, Grumble, unstable. Appreciate the making of new shit though
