Update: These issues will be resolved tomorrow, Thursday, September 2. Timing is unknown at this time.
A hero and a minion have both been disabled in Hearthstone's Battlegrounds due to ongoing issues with bugs.
Last night, you may have noticed the absence of Leapfrogger, one of the new Beast minions that arrived in the big update. This is due to crashes that were happening for some players, causing the game to become impossible to play. The story continues though with an additional temporary removal that arrived this afternoon with a hero now being taken out of the pool - Deathwing.
Blizzard has indicated that once the issues are resolved we will see the affected cards make their return to the game.
Quote From Kerfluffle Hey all,
We’re currently investigating crashes in Battlegrounds, which we suspect may be caused by Leapfrogger. We’ve disabled the minion for now while we continue to investigate and arrive at a solution. We’ll update here once we know more.
UPDATE 9/1: Deathwing has been temporarily removed from the Battlegrounds hero pool due to it causing crashes with the new Master Nguyen hero. We plan to return Deathwing to the hero pool once the issue has been patched. We will continue to update this post as we get more information.
Quote From Kerfluffle (Edited) We are deploying a server-side hotfix tonight to fix a rare bug that was blocking interactions with the middle of the screen. This hotfix will also resolve issues with the ‘Gift of Elune’ Mystery.
Tomorrow, we plan to deploy another hotfix to:
- Add Deathwing back into the Battlegrounds Hero pool.
- Add Leapfrogger back into the Battlegrounds minion pool.
- Fix a visual bug that caused enemies to show the wrong tavern tier in Battlegrounds.
- Fix a bug that treated Razorgore, the Untamed’s effect as a separate buff for each Dragon you controlled, instead of one combined buff at the end of each turn.
We will continue to monitor the issues to determine if any further steps are needed, and will update this post with any additional info.

The interaction between Whelp Smuggler and Razorgore is really broken. I finished with a 84/700 in one game. Thank goodness it's a bug and is being addressed quickly. Impatient Doomsayer is also broken but that one seems intentional.
Any word in the new mystery quest and it's bugs?
"This hotfix will also resolve issues with the ‘Gift of Elune’ Mystery."
A certain OOC member and Deathwing fan will not be happy about this
Well TBH I rarely play Battlegrounds and the chances of actually getting Deathwing offered to anyone is slim. But thanks for mentioning me 🙃(The Deathwing Thumbnail really caught my eye 😁)
And lets be real, a Battlegrounds update this big, is bound to have some bugs
evert update of blizzard havig bugs there is not been 1 patch without at least 1 breaking bug

The problem is they don't care to do any kind of meaningful testing. It's all done by the players, for free. Or, I should say, the players actually pay to test the game :)))
And it's not a good enough excuse if everyone in the gaming industry does it too. It's just something that shows how the carelessness and idiocy of players has increased in ~10 years or so, provided that almost everyone is simply ignoring this fact instead of "taxing" the companies for their brutal cost reduction (at the expense of quality).
Anyway...
