One problem about battlegrounds that I often face is that I don’t have enough time to perform actions in recruit phase, while at other times I have 90 seconds waiting doing nothing.
This is due to some combat phases taking longer than others.
Since apparently all combat phases start at the same time, if my previous combat is fast while my next opponent just had a long fight with his previous opponent, he can get significantly less time to make decisions than I do.
One solution for this is reducing time for some animations. For example let’s say a rat pack dies and summons 5 rats. The animation is fairly quick, but if each one of them has to be buffed by a pack leader, the animation takes about 5 second longer. This can be solved by making the buff animation trigger once for all 5 rats. The net effect combatwise is the same. Another example, let’s say a poisonous minion with 10 damage attacks a 8 health minion. The 10 damage is sufficient to kill the 8 health minion. There is no need to trigger the poisonous animation since the minion is already dead without it.
Now for the recruit phase animation, the animation for triggering a triple, or summoning some minions (like Magni) can be made shorter. Sometimes I get only 40 seconds to spend 10 gold, make purchases, summon minions to buff and sell them, refresh the tavern, etc. So it can happen that even if I don’t take any time to think, the time is simply not enough.
So my suggestion is as follows:
Make animations faster or at least add an option in game settings to speed it up, or remove it altogether.

couldn’t agree more with everything. it’s still a beta though and given the obvious-ness of those issues, I expect this to be fixed at some point.
I find it interesting that mama bear’s buffs have already a much shorter animation than pack leader’s.

And stil blizzard didn’t do sht about this.
I noticed one way around it all and that’s to disconect and reconect.
Than youll skipp the howl combat phase and gives you enough shopping time.
Counter point is that you dont know your enemys setup.
But on some builds i can’t find another option.
My last game 1v1 Final.
I had 18 seconds shopping time and ended up with 6 Minions because i was stuck in a animation.

Yep, too much time in useless animations and little time left to what is important… and once again Blizzard can’t see flaws or listen to players… and yet they dedicate time and effort to the new useless mode “Mehrcenaries”, instead of making more modes fix the ones you have, game doesn’t need more modes, needs the ones already here to be fixed and more interesting to play.
Decadence of Blizzard is the decadence of their games.
Maybe some big company buys Blizzard and make things work LOL
if you only had enough time to combine your tripple but not search for that overpower one tier up minion then search the next round. This is a game and we play according to how the devs set it up. They want you to rush off and sweat that last second of recruiting and was not intended for us to come request changes so we can become OP in battlegrounds.
You only say that because you didn’t fight some rat/toad/rivendare build in late game. The moment you kill one rat you have to wait for all the toads to go and it’s almost doubling up each time until you almost have to wait 20 seconds between each attacks (just because of animations).
Good luck fighting the next guy when you only have 10 seconds to play the round, but hey, it’s not a flaw, it’s how the devs intended us to play. I’m sure what you’ll feel at that moment is a good rush and sweat and not just some despair and unfairness feelings.
If people are asking for a change through the YEARS, maybe the way devs intended people to play is just not the right path.
I’ll forever thanks the devs for this mod that I love but it doesn’t mean they could not do some improvments.
I have about 200 crowns in battleground so please dont tell me i havent fought something. I have faced them all. And yes i have had many moments where it felt unfair but just because you lose doesnt mean its the end of the world. We lose we get up and win the next one. You cannot win every match because when is it someone elses turn to win my friend?
