BG - Speed during battle is to fast

The new random speed-up during the BG battle is terrible. Makes the game jitter. No fun to watch.

  • Combat speed up: Combat animations will now accelerate as the battle rages on (and then slow down towards the end, for a dramatic finish), to even out longer combat phases!

I play BG to relax, and not to have seizures during the battle annimation.

It is an awful update to this game. Please give us an option to disable it.

This would mean whoever has the longer combat times also has less shopping time.

People complain about long combat phases then complain when they adjust it. Undead/beast/Mech combat phases were taking far too long not giving players enough time next turn to complete a turn in the time given, only having a matter of seconds which is absurd.

I like the change, some play to push there rating up, trying hard to win. Why bother when the combat phases only give you seconds to take a turn? What would you suggest they do?

I support the sped up combat. It’s awesome in my opinion.

Why? BG is so predictable these days that you know you are going to lose after turn 1 or 2, and then you have to sit through 20 minutes of tokens spawning because you will lose too much rating by conceding, so you just sit through it.

Now when your opponents have tier 6 Golden’s on turn 5 when you can’t even find one minion of worth, it’s over much faster.

Now when you are rating 6000 and you get teamed with a rating 60 in Duos, it’s over much faster.

Now when your team mate in Duos puts crosses and question marks all over your board when their board absolutely sucks, it’s over much faster.

A great way to reduce the griefers influence.

No, its not awesome at all! I literally had a seizure and felt dizzy/upset stomach after 5-6 rounds when it because nothing but a 5-6x times faster gameplay…
If i would have played more rounds im pretty sure i would have thrown up… :nauseated_face: :face_vomiting:
Please give us an option to make it slower.

You don’t have to watch combat, it’s optional. However, I do agree that no game should make anyone sick. Kind of defeats the point of having fun.

Blizzard will have to balance the game better. Personally, I am tired of opponents having OP builds by turn 7, when I am battling to find a decent minion.

Recently I played a a BG Duos team who by Turn 7 had a full Demon build, including Bat and Drakari.

At turn 7 the game was over. So why sit and watch slow combats for 20 minutes? Game has already been decided.

I agree an option to toggle would be nice, since game experience and goal varies a lot within the community, but if we can only can have one option, I wish it stayed sped up like it is now. I found games highly unenjoyable for last years when I had to watch 2 minutes of combat and was left with 20 or sometimes 0 seconds to play cards in between.
I like to actually play cards, so thank you Blizzard for the change!

Blizzard messed up the gameplay with this billion time reborn deathrattle forever minions. Im happy to watch even a 5 min combat. I started BG-s because it was chill, fun not a rush hush. Its a shame that i had to stop playing BGs because it makes me sick even watching that crazy fast game-play for a minute.

Then let make have an ingame option, to turn off the speed or turn it on and only end up vs players who have the same option.

That would be a nice compromise, though it’s unknown how it would affect queue times.

Turn speed should be based on rating. If you are 5k+ you should not have a problem with a max of 90 second rounds.
