You will be going first half the time so how is this unfair or game breaking?

If your board is so dependant on going first it's not the game that's the problem but your comp. Better decisions will lead to more rng protection throughout games.

Nothing really fairer than an equal chance you will go first is there?

It is already the hero with the second highest winrate(0,01diffrence with nr 1 majev).  And people are still misplaying this hero as crazy. When they learn, it will be the nr1 hero by far

I’ll say it again there is too little data to judge this hero yet. Pogos is not reliable as multiple people have said. Being able to spam the same battlegrounds in the early game can be strong but to lose your mind over the rare chance of seeing more than 2 pogos is historical.

 Still not convinced?

Battlegrounds is based on increasing your rating over time. If you consistently play above average you'll increase your rating.

Going first 4 times out of 10 in one game isn't going to affect your rating across 100 games. Just think you have the same chance to go first every time in one game as you do to go second 😉.

Going first or not seems to only be an issue for some when they don't go first. It probably never registers with them when they go first and win.

 

 One more thing is that people tend to forget that Illidan guarantees going first. Heck, not only going first, but having two attacks before opponent even starts. And yet Illidan is considered a bottom tier hero. Yeah, this thread is typical bias. Someone lost a game due to going second and they think it's an issue, while it's not.

Someone is playing in a way that he doesn't like, and doing well, so obviously they're terrible... There's going to be no reasoning, so this might as well be in the salt thread.
