Hi,
I have played battlegrounds since it was introduced and hearthstone since beta.
For the past couple of weeks I have felt an increasing frustration with the current state of battlegrounds. It seems like agency has disappeared mainly because every player is now spam buying minions. There seems to be an unhealthy min/maxing now that causes a player to feel like the game is more decided by luck than the actions they do, because you HAVE to constantly buy minions. The refresh button now seems like a trap, because while you may want to press it to get other options, you can quickly fall behind because of it, and then just lose 3 rounds later.
This is the first time since the release of battlegrounds where I feel like I can have several games in a row where I have extremely lucky starts yet opponents seems to just have more punch regardless of what I do EXCEPT when I just spam minions. So the only option I have now is to play a linear game.
A consequence of spam buying units is that less options are available for other players, so I can see why this strategy has now become widely dominating, but is it really a healthy way to play battlegrounds?
I am almost considering playing standard hearthstone to get a less stressful and frustrating experience because of abovementioned points.
So, is it just me? And if it is, how is your experience?
