Game must have truly gone to shit if people really think autobattle is more fun than constructed play.
Shaman is 40% of the ladder at legend in standard, snip snap lock is aids in wild. Constructed is awful right now.

Maybe because it's new, but battlegrounds doesn't feel quite chock full of RNG as the other modes. As in, the ability to build a strategy around what you're "dealt" seems much more realistic than constructed/arena.

First battleground tourney going on now. All of the players are also streaming on the personal channels.

I honestly think there is even more RNG in battlegrounds than there is in constructed play, not less, and if Blizzard hadn't made constructed so goddamn awful this would be flopping horribly.

Ok so I tossed together a murloc shaman deck since it's practically free and I cannot believe how incredibly assfucked the power level is in standard. I can't believe how ridiculous the decks I'm going against are, and even crazier is that I haven't lost a game yet. I mean granted ladder climbing isn't the same as sub 5 or legend matches, but who the fuck thought Underbelly Angler was a balanced card? And these people thought Undertaker needed to be nerfed?

They just revealed the rest of the cards, gonna have fun farming people wasting their time with a million mana cost dragons with pirate Warrior. It's a perfect mana curve with multiple free spells, literally every card other than the 1-drops (which replace themselves!) can either be cast for 0 mana or generates face damage when you play them. Turn 1 Sky Raider, play Parachute Brigand for free. Turn 2 Ritual Chopper, play Dread Corsair for free, hit face for 7. If your opponent holds the initial rush Galakrond comes down, drawing you something like 25 power worth of minions, (Scion of Ruin is three 7/6s with Rush if Galakrond draws it) alongside a free arcanite reaper and a +3 attack hero power.

Wild will be even funnier. Turn 1 N'zoth's First Mate, Patches, Parachute Brigand. Three minions and a weapon on turn 1.

Special event cards moving back to Wild
During the Doom in the Tomb event, 23 cards from Wild were released to be playable in Standard. On December 5, these cards will return to Wild, and any temporarily granted copies will be removed.

finally. I might just have to buy the Sylvanas Windrunner hero, looks really good.

Haven't played the game in a while, kind of amusing that the 4/4 for 5 Spellpower 1 ETB: Draw dragon had to be banned from standard, but now 5/5 ETB: Draw Dragon in a set full of tribal synergy for it is basically common fodder.

So Van Cleef is totally broken in battlegrounds. Hero power either needs to cost 2 gold, or be random.

All the newest ones seem pretty strong. Van Cleef is super busted though, +4/4 on a minion of your choice every round essentially

It really is. I've been doing some serious crushing today.

They also did something to MMR, I'm getting like +200 a win

People are high rolling Murlocs super hard today though. Divine Shield poison on all every game

I was watching RDU just after the last patch, MMR for him was seriously fucked, he was 10300(#1 in the EU) or so and would lose points at 3rd or lower

It makes sense but still a bad system. Hopefully they come out with something better.
