TIRION IS BREAKING BATTLEGROUNDS?! - Hearthstone Battlegrounds 

"Isn't the journey more important than the destination?" "Isn't that just what you tell yourself when you play a game with an abrupt ending?" Kripp dropping some of that spicy hot gamer philosophy.

Somehow the dialog Kripp vs chat: burning other streamers and naive players; was even more entertaining when the game.;)

the reason I hate soul juggler is because the ONLY counter to it is that windfury tavern tier 6 dude. that's the only counter. and by that time you get him, it's WAY too late.

finally a not demon tirion, so much better.

I went against a tirion with 2 tripled wraith weavers... was not fun

Soul juggler is so broken. It needs to go. I'm happy to keep using it to win in the meantime.

I think Tirion is boring,in the late game, the only thing to do is hero power.There are no transition,there are not many comp options

wow classic was an interesting idea, but i think they should have let it be a dream that wouldn't come true, i was watching a friend of mine play it (he streams) he spent hours getting only like 3 levels, he was bad at the game... but that content was so boring to watch

"i dont get salty" ok If that is what you think

1:31 Skipperino the kripperino

kripp: "there's a very specific way you need to play him" also kripp: *gets righteous protector on turn 1 and 2*

i shed a tear whenever im blessed to get Tirion.

Today's fact: If you die in Amsterdam with no next of kin, and no friends or family to prepare funeral or mourn over the body, a poet will write a poem for you and recite it at your funeral.

I was sitting there remembering if that was me playing Edwin, and it was until I saw that hydra snipe. The level of salt feels bad.

Last time I did Tyrion I got to turn 6 without even seeing a single neutral minion. Always fun.

I love Tyrion, I want more heroes that force a unique play style/build.

Played 10 games with Tirion and got first 3 times. Top 4 the other 7. You have to TRY to lose to not get top 4.

"The least balanced part of Battlegrounds is the matchmaking" Heroes of the Storm players feel your pain, Kripp.

Tirion is pretty disgusting. Often you can just get 7 of those tier 1-2 neutrals and keep buffing them. Super late game you throw in a baron and ghast coilers and you win.

I am typing this before watching: kripp hits wrathweavers round 1 or 2 with tirion and wins. After watching, I was wrong. He hit it round 3.

......

Enjoy it. And we'll see you guys, in the next one.

I have played 29 matches so far with tirion and stayed 28 times in top 4 ( rank 6500 )

I have only been offered Tirion once despite over 20 hours of BG since Tirion became available. It was literally the easiest 1st place ever.

It's easy to play Tirion when you get tier 1 neutrals early. If you don't, it's actually puzzling.

No

Is asking why WC3 ReSold is hated even a question? It's hot trash.

Remember when this was considered broken and the hero was removed? How far we have come

I woukd say Kripparian is breaking Battkegrounds lol

16:18 luckyest round ever and he's not even mentioning it

"The problem is that the selfless hero is not dying". well perhaps because you decided to taunt the wrath weaver+the spawn

Watching this in april for some reason and they actually made floating watcher a 4 star.

Last fight: 23:02 Result: Kripp wins

tiroin is actually gonna get nerfed somehow. he's so brainless to play

I like stuff that doesn't actually end... So journey is what i am in for

on every damn tirion run of yours you get the perfect start. when i pick him i can roll dead for 3-4 rounds until i find the first neutral. damn you are realy insanly lucky kriperino

“Krip didn’t complain on rng all game long” :O That should be the title of the video

I would pay money to see Kripp get endlessly stream sniper by a rogue camping his respawn in Classic WoW

why didnt he taunt selfless hero :( nice guide playing like a pleb and still winning xD kappa

It's almost impossible not to get top 4 with Tirion.

ima be totally honest... i prefer your Battlegrounds games than anything else.

"Don't play reforged, trash..... why don't you guys like that game?" Because it literally fucking sucks. Total dogshit. I think it would be faster to name a single good thing about it. (There isn't one.)

is the spawn worth it when its still single and like 10-10? like making it bigger only prevents it from death and then the death rattle doesn't get value. generally, rover, pack leader and spawn are good early but losing cause of it late. tirion is very powerful, i was winning with double weaver double watcher with like 60-60 hp. probably a nerf to him would be giving weaver the demon category, or stuff like baron and brann and others a special category that doesn't belong to any category and cant receive category buffs. like special units. i feel like with the bigger pool, is hard to find triples, and demons got buffed by the 2 new arrivals. lot of time i lose midgame in 2 games cause they got puny demons and 2 jugglers. maybe overall increase the hp for all heroes? start from 60, patchwerk from 75. that would give 1-2 extra turns so you can reach tier 5 and try your luck. one thing in auto chess is better: units got 2 different categories so you can match them by that, so more synergy. you can go warrior but get the ogre bonus, or have mechs but goblins too. board space limitation is also an issue and no goldens from triple golden, so it feel mre 2 dimensional and too much luck involved. win first 2 turns by pulling a 2-3 murloc. grab yourself a decent comb and get lucky for 3-4 turns, then you got enough hp to do whatever for 2-3 turns. while losing first 2 turns then not being able to get a triple limits your levelups and right before you got a unit which would define your build, you just die getting unlucky.

Totally agree with you on your WoW classic opinions too. Did i play WoW back in Vanilla yes, did i enjoy myself at the time? Yes, do i see a point in going back to it now? No, Classic to me now is probably the least interesting part of the game. If they released WotLK again then yeah, i'd play. Wrath was the absolute pinnacle of World of Warcraft design and fun. If i did play Classic now i'd probably level to 60 and then just never play it again and i'd rather use that time doing something else.

The least balanced part about battleground is the first turn dude. I think they need to increase the pick to 4 slots round one. 7800 opinion. I’m no master, only play a few days a week. That’s just my two cents. This game is very snowball heavy. The first turn can ruin you

Souljagler is not so powerfull at late games... Yeah when the opponent have 6 demons 4 taunts and 2 of them are voidlords... not powerfull, nooooooo... It just destroys every divine shields. Only the poison murlocs are good against it.

They could make that only the original cards that u buy contribute to final dmg. If you only have spawns you only deal your tavern tire dmg. Because the deathrattle RNG is broken.

NO WAY! A HERO THAT CAN GIVE YOU +7/+7 FOR 1 MANA IS BROKEN?! Seriously, how on earth is blizz getting dumber

i enjoyed levelling, I enjoyed raiding and I kinda like ranking PvP in classic wow. it just shows that 15 years later classic and burning crusade are the 2 best games in the history of mankind.... for me at least ;)

It's insane how strong that board is. Kripp actually still got really unlucky attack orders in this one. Enemy tokens always sniping divine shields, Selfless Hero always shielding Spawn or the other Selfless Hero. Still won most of these games easily.

A potential 10/25 that buffs on 3 every hit ... No, this guy doesn't need that, he's just a ram... It's a shame to look at that...

Festerroot Hulk is underrated. Very all around good card no matter what hero, especially over some high tier minions that only work with certain builds (e.g. junkbot)

yeah agree the damage from random token is one of the thing turn me off from battleground at the moment

Just finished a Tirion-demon run with 21 health left. Soul Juggler and Wrath Weaver are both neutral. Give it a try @kripp.

What make your videos/streams entertaining to watch is that you don't indulge to this compulsory positivity a lot of youtuber found to be their way to captivate a younger audience and make money. You're spontaneous, and that make your salty personnality more enjoyable that you can imagine. You bring something in the HS screens that no one else does and stayed a human amongs the drones after all these years on a plateform which killed many influencers souls.

If you win with tokens, regardless of how many spawn on the last hit, you should do 1 damage + tavern tier level. That way, you get a tiny bonus, but not unfair high amounts for barely winning.

I call bullshit on the matchmaking fix. I routinely still face the same guy every two rounds

12:59-13:09 It actually does *facepalm* why do I relate this to break ups *double face palm* maybe that's why I'm back here *triple facepalm* wise words anywho *shrug*

My first lose playing tirion are not getting hero taunted, it can't die and give shield as i intented. My second game are insta 1st. Tirion are broken, they will take out him and replace with brann, until fixed.

Spawned tokens should deal 0 damage and spawned minions should deal 1 damage each. And golden minions should deal either 1 extra or double.

I think tokens dealing no damage is a cracking idea. Your hero still deals damage after all. I think whatever Ghastcoiler and similar minions spawns should also be counted as tokens, so the highmane would also deal no damage.

I like both bc and wrath, wrath was made to have a better casual experience. I just want bc cause that's top 5 races and both factions get every class

Maybe only the first of each type of token should deal 1 damage. And maybe units summoned by deathrattles should only deal one in general.

Neutral minion is just as same as any other minion tribe, they are hard to collect. If u can get all minion u need, the only one that can win the game is murloc. PS, i never meet any Tirion on 3 last standing player, tirion had very low damage when he win

Am I the only one thats get infuriated when he obstructs the view with studying of lateral panel when he is about to hit opponent ?

Jesus jan 11th. Some backlog. Any chance of 3 uploads :P

It might be tricky to code and to communicate to the players but it seems to me that the best solution is to prevent tokens from doing more damage than the minion they spawned from.

selling floating watcher was a big mistake that could have been a 30/30 or better

I'm always shocked whenever I see someone who manages to get lower than 3rd place as tirian. I've gotten him 8 times so far and have never gotten below 2nd place.

tirion is so good because he has no competition, but if you're like me and get no neutrals the entire game your pretty screwed

My opinion would be tokens should do damage but combined not more than its 'creator'

I think token should only do damage if ur minion is golden so rat 1 spawns don’t do damage but rat 2 does

Cmon. Teaching videos are not when you roll high first two rounds.

I am waiting for the facterion guy :)

Constantly add at least 4 every turn. Only idiots think it is balanced with others.

What to do if you're like me a don't see a classless minion for first 6 turns? -.-

I wish Tirion would break me

everytime i choose tirion the first 3-4 turns give no neutral minions. so he is my worst hero.

Clearly the vegan lord never played dark souls 3. Ofc it's about the journey and not the ending.

Plot twist.... poison divine shield murlocks

check new card game called Phageborn, its awsome

What is the problem with matchmaking that he is mentioning?

I like how even 7 months later matchmaking is still shit.

Calling Tirion 'worth it' is an understatement.

Как наколяет твое балабольство. Выйди для начала в 11к, а не в помойке своей и арене.

Taunt hydra 😅

I am happy you are doing BG vids and streams over 'regular' Arena. I used to play a lot, but with 2 kids to take care about, I 'dropped' out of the normal 'Arena' HS circulation for 2 years or so and I cannot recognise the game anymore with all the changes and updates. :D But Blizzard adding BG brought me back playing the game again and I am very happy about your vids and insight, and actually covering this part of the game. Many thanks, and keep it up, Kripp! :D

Selfless hero is not so selfless when one is playing Tirion.

Soul Juggler is just anti-cobalt.

Tirion isn't that broken. Demons are stronger imo.

Thanks Kripp. Got my 1st win with Tririon, using these pointers... And some amazing luck getting 2 Boogeyman early and hero powering them for turns.

Like every other powerful hero, Tirion still depends on RNG. Sometimes I don't get a single Righteous Protector or Selfless Hero in the early game, and when that happens Tirion is just mediocre.

They could make it so that the first minion a deathrattle spawns deals the damage of the original minion, then the other spawns deal no damage, even if they're spawns of spawns (e.g. if a deathrattle spawns another deathrattle). So if you kill an 8/2 rat, the first token deals 2 damage and the others none. If you kill a ghastcoiler which spawns another ghastcoiler and those spawn loads of galakronds, etc - whatever - the first spawn deals 6 damage, and the rest deal zero. That way, you guarantee that the damage a minion which starts on the board will do is always the same, so long as some part of it still lives. If your board starts with 20 damage potential, your max damage potential is 20 plus your level.

Kripp, legit question, why at 17:37 did you give Taunt to Wrath Weaver instead of Selfless Hero? Wouldn't taunting the divine shield-giver be better? Or did you do it simply because board space?

I think this is a good example of how powerful a 1 mana give minions +1\+1 is. It could be the reason why they were so hesitant to make Jaraxxus’ hero power from 3 to 2.

I mean id argue everyone that only got to 10-30 in classic wow probably had it actually hurting their viewership or realized the game can be kinda boring to watch so they just play it off stream

One thing in the battlegrounds I think would help a lot is if token minions like the rats/minibots/plants didn't have a star rating? So if you won with them you wouldn't do any more damage than your current level.

I got to lvl 35 a quit classic...so jokes on you Kripp lol

Also, I have been saying tokens shouldn't count as damage. They should give you the win but not put 7 extra damage on the board. Like only does your tavern damage.

I remember getting Tirion several times during a lose streak a few days ago, and all of the games I had with him actually were wins. I actually am a really bad Battlegrounds player, so he just carried my arse through a lose streak...
