I currently only have 3 or 4 heroes left to win battlegrounds with and my goal is to win with them all.
I am now finding it hard to get into a game as the heroes i need are not available for selection at the start. Because of this i am conceding games straight away.
I am on a run of 8 games conceded in a row which is taking my level down but not bothered about that.
I have noticed recently that the games i am playing only have 3 or 4 people in them as i guess a lot of people are doing the same thing as I am.
It would be so much better for the game if every game had at least one hero that you havent won with available for selection.
I really hope something is done about this as i love the game but at the moment it is a chore to find a game and when i do they arent as fun because theyre too easy.

You are in the VERY small minority trying to get the achievements. The most common reason people quit is because they get “weak” heroes so would rather reroll until they get something they consider playable.
Ironically your suggestion, which would stop you conceding, would actually increase the number of people conceding.
One thing I will add is have you checked the few your missing are actually in the rotation? It’s possible the ones your missing might not even be possible to come up at the moment.
Yes some of the heroes are better than others but whats the point in playing it if its going to be easy every time? Doesnt make sense to me.
Making one hero out of four available isnt more likely to make people concede and im sure there is a large number of players trying to complete the achievements.
I am pretty sure theyre going around but when there is a 4 in 75 chance of them being available, theyre going to be few and far between if youre only looking for a couple
You grossly under estimate how much people solely care about winning. Next time you notice multiple people conceding, see how many top tier heroes I.e. the ones people won’t need achievements for, there are. It’s always the scrub ones.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d actually like this feature (and I only chose from 2 heroes 
) but I know I’m in the minority, like how I play meme/achievement decks in ranked.

I understand your frustration but I think you’d find, if it were possible to conduct a survey to collect the relevant data, the vast majority of people who concede at the start is due to how unbalanced a lot of the heroes are at the minute. There are a handful that are exceedingly powerful, especially if the minion pool goes their way, and quite a lot that are average to downright atrocious. I managed to get back up to 5k rank yesterday after the reset and since then I’ve conceded more games than I’ve played because the hero choices I’m getting are mostly garbage or heroes I don’t get on well with, and conceding at 5k doesn’t hurt because I can’t drop any lower so may as well try and find a hero I can compete well with and most people are probably doing the same 
i think you should get a ban from battlegrounds instead as you leave a slot open because of your pointless achievementhunting. The battleground achivements do not give you anything. No xp, no coins, no cards. There is no real reason to chase them. Just play the damned game instead of ruining it for players wich do want to play battlegrounds normally. Its so damned annoying when almost every single bg you try to do has atleast 1 or 2 leavers right at the start
Does this really hurt any of the remaining players though? Admittedly anyone playing Rafaam or Bigglesworth can potential miss out on some free cards but, other than that, the only way it affects the players in the game is that they are guaranteed to finish at least 7th and therefore not get the biggest ranking hit if everything goes t*ts up, I’ve even taking early tavern upgrades when coming up against forfeited players on my turn as I don’t need to worry about beating them and can have a better shot at more higher tier minons next turn than I would normally. I honestly don’t see how players forfeiting at the start ruins it for the rest of the players, let alone warrants being banned for a period of time
Especially with the new buddy system, yes it hurts the game. The game will be much shorter and some people wont even be able to get their buddy out in time to make use of it properly. Simply because they will often face a free win against a leaver. Leaving you with way less % to get your buddy out compared to playing against someone wich actually fielded minions. It also removes the safety net of only receiving 15 damage at a time maximum wich some heroes really need as they are better for higher tavern tiers.
Besides battlegrounds isnt fun at all when 2 to 3 people leave instantly at the start, wich happens quite often. Leaving in battlegrounds should be treated just like in other games. Real life happens so being punished for occasionally leaving shouldnt happen. But when someone constantly keeps leaving because he didnt get the hero they wanted or dont like the enemies heroes then he should certainly be timed out.
Especially when they are not even leaving for any valid reason. Whats the point of leaving for hunting battlegrounds achievements in hearthstone? There is none. There is no reward for battleground achievements. No cardback, no coin skin, no free xp and no free cardpacks. Its just leaving and ruining the fun for other players for absolutely no reason.
