Diablo Will Be Removed from Battlegrounds on Tuesday

We now have a confirmed end date for the Diablo event in Battlegrounds. Cross-promo Hero will be removed from the game in just two days – on Tuesday. Many pro players have been asking about a nerf or to just straight up finish the event and get rid of Diablo for some time. While the Hero was quite underpowered at first, after two rounds of buffs and once people learned how to play him, he’s now unquestionably #1 Hero in the format, by a huge margin.

This pretty much confirms that Tuesday is when Patch 22.0 will drop. That’s also when we’ll get the Alterac Valley data, adding new cards, achievements and so on to the game. While it’s not officially confirmed, it probably means that the Stormwind/Deadmines achievements will no longer award XP, so if you have some that you wanted to finish, better do it quickly. On top of that, I expect other additions like new BG Heroes, maybe some balance changes etc. We’ll see!

    The removal of XP achievements gonna make people disappointed again.
    Just like before, with the poor communication, I bet there’s not gonna be any info about that.

    Learn from their mistake, finish what you can in 2 days.
    I still had a few myself, The draw 5 cards with Multicaster, and a few useless legendary that I don’t want to craft. eg Maestra and Antonidas.

      Multicaster is one of the easiest, first try with shaman in wild.
      The rogue one who needs you to cooperate with your oppo (the parrrrley card) who try to kill you, is nearly impossible.

        True, Shaman has basically the most school of spells, which is lucky for you, since I don’t want to craft another Wild card (especially Rares or Epics) just to finish a flimsy achievements.

        And basically, what you’re saying is, if you don’t use Wild mode, you can’t finish an achievements made for Standard decks? That’s kinda sucks. The one who created this one should be slapped.

      Brann + Multicaster works? πŸ˜€ I will try that today. And yes, it’s bullsh*t no warning or notice about “hey guys, no more exp for you”. -_-

        I don’t have Brann, but I did try it with Bolner Hammerbreak double Battlecry, and it didn’t work.
        I doubt it will work with Brann.

        However, A lot of people already suggesting using Rogue and shuffling method using Elekk.
        But I’m afraid I won’t finish it anyway. It’s okay tho, 200Xp not gonna kills me.
