Hearthpwn

Battleground is absolutely ruined. Crazy and wild, yes. But horribly unbalanced and there is 0 skill involved in winning anymore. 

Blizzard is truly useless

Buddy system is horrific and it really shows how incompetent Blizzard has become. Its extremely imbalanced and there is no way they tested this properly. And there is fundamental problems with the system itself and its just a big snowbally shitshow. 4000 hours of BG and this is the moment i uninstall.

Kripp is a pretty average player who is a good streamer. He's fun to watch but he's no "pro", so i don't know how important his opinion is.

Zeddy is a piece od trash who lies and attacks the game to gain fame because he has no redeeming qualities and no other way to make it.

 LOL Kripp is a better player than everone here. He's played the game probably more than anyone else. 

You should value his opinion 

Pvp is totally dead now. Won 20 games now and not gotten a single win count towards the reward chest.

Blizzard went full retard on this one...

Aside from the fact that it's completely dumb, how this exploit worked in the first place? They went wint level 1 team in order to be matched against each other or what?

 I think they just instantly conceded. If everyone does it everyone gets quick rewards. 

They could have just made it so you'd have to kill 1 merc for the win to count. 3 is too much. No one stays that long

But this change is very dumb. In this combo oriented meta people concede if the lose the 50/50 on turn one.

 

 

 in fact i do it too so no one get rewards anymore....... fuck the police xD

 Yeah but why sit there and wait for the opponent to kill you off when you have literally no chance of winning. So they get their reward? Yeah that's not how the world works lol

They hotfixed the concede exploit.

You need to destroy at least three enemy mercs to be awrded a win

 Aha. 

I was kinda sure I won more than that with three merc down. 

But this change is very dumb. In this combo oriented meta people concede if the lose the 50/50 on turn one. Myself included. It just isn't designed for comebacks. Very VERY rarely does people stick around so they have 3 mercs killed.

Pvp is dead now. Getting rewards is impossible now.

Also, this shouldnt affect my 6000 rating rewards. I'm 6500 now and still no rewards. It's bullshit.

In my young days bugs were something you had to live with since they could not patch the game. 

 Yeah I'm closing in on 40 myself so I remember :). 

However it also meant that games, unlike today, were shipped when they were actually finished. 

I've won like 20 pvp games today and I only got credit for 2 wins. I got the first reward chest and the second one is 1/2.

Also I hit 6000 rating and didn't get any of the rewards, which should have been a ton of coins and a pack. 

Buggiest game mode ever?

Tyrande's third ability can be fun, but her first two are unbelievably bad etc.

Good example of needing synergies. With enough arcane synergies, her first two will be very usable. Currently, she has only Millhouse to help her and it isn't enough.

 Even with some synergies she's far too slow. If she was powerful enough to get targeted she'd be dead before she could even cast, let alone take advantage of her third ability. A lot of mercs are just far too slow in what has become a one-shot combo meta. Any control/healing comp just doesn't work because they are so slow and the combo damage is too high.

Why you play the mode? There is no rewards. Just casual gameplay. Play and focus on ranked and have a chance to win money. Merx is like playing super mario 

 Why are you browsing, let alone commenting, a forum for a game mode you're not interested in? 

Or do you have that big of a problem with people liking something that you don't?

Sounds like a troublesome life with that attitude

Apparently on Iksar's latest AMA on twitter he mentions that it's still too early for a Mercs balance patch. The mercs people are using now are still vastly different than the popular builds that came out first.

I guess they think there is still room for people to figure out more builds to combat what's popular.

Or is it totally figured out already?

 Considering how few people they have for internal testing compared to all the players on a full release, I'd say it's pretty much figured out. The "bad" mercs are so underpowered that you can't even make them work even if you build a full comp around them. 

If they bring the bad ones up in power and the overpowered ones down it might be different but that's not how it is. You can't even try to counter the meta because even though you might be favored in terms of color you still lose because the combos are too powerful. 

It's been quite a while now with no word on a balance patch. I don't think I've ever played such a badly balanced game. There's like a few mercs that everyone uses and their power level is insane. And there's like 70% of all mercs that are totally unplayable in both pvp and pve.

At 5000 rating everyone has pretty much the same team. There's maybe 10 mercs in rotation but not more. The pvp gameplay becomes extremely repetitive real quick and because everyone runs similar comps it's just a matter of rng that who gets their ability off first wins the game.

Mercs like Diablo, Dawngrasp and Cairne should have gotten a day 1 patch. Mercs that have one-shot potential at turn 1 like Guff and Samuro also needs a change.

Lol this game has been out for 7 years (6 on phones) and it has running like dogshit ever since, on any phone. Logging in takes an eternity, frequent slowdowns and lag makes you miss turns, lose internet connection for a split second and you get kicked out, having to wait 30 seconds to get back in your game.

Indie games developed by 1 person have better netcode and stability than hearthstone. 

It's always been this way and the won't ever fix it. They just don't give a shit.
