News
Robes of Gaudiness are out of Duels
It didn’t take long for everyone to agree that Robes of Gaudiness were a little much in Duels. And it didn’t take much longer for Blizz to hotfix these Robes out of the new mode.
Mozaki’s animations will be toned down due to epilepsy concerns

Concerns were brought up on reddit about the entire screen flashing every time Mozaki’s Hero Power was used. CM Chris Attalus replied saying that it “will be fixed” with the Darkmoon patch.

How would you incorporate the rotating sets for duels in the new progression system? Or would you like a shop option that highlights the sets that are in duels for players looking to add those sets without having to dust or dig through the menu too much?

With the return of the old gods, can you see any of them joining yogg as a Battlegrounds hero?
I could see C'thun with a Nefarian-like that deals a certain amount of damage at the start of combat, perhaps based on tavern tier, and N'zoth would make a good menagerie hero, if they came up with something different than what heroes like wagtoggle or rat king already offer. The one I'm having the hardest time picturing is y'shaarj.
Then again, do we really need new heroes? The pool is becoming pretty diluted. Perhaps these could replace some of the F tier or never used minions like the aforementioned nefarion or wagtoggle?
