Yeah it was pretty awful
I have a win 5 brawls quest and there's no way I'm gonna do it this week

Same. I'm rerolling it. I usually enjoy the tavern brawls at least somewhat. I think this one is actually a test to see how differently the game would play out with 10 extra health (there's no way you'd ever start with 10 armor)

The 10 health is because you're dead in 3-4 turns if the enemy gets a strong weapon

If you take a look at the tavern brawls you'll see that some ideas have been implemented. It's easy to see what is being "tested". Or maybe it's a conspiracy, whatever.

GGs though must have been fun to compete in a big tourney like that.

yeah I mean the 10 health is given to us for our own sanity while playing such a shit show brawl...

But its there for blizzard to test/develop. not because if we didn't have the armor it would make us rage.. Theres more purpose to these things then u realize frogman.

I'm just saying the 10 armor is necessary for the brawl

I don't think anything is 'necessary' actually. I agree with amaranth, its there for blizzard testing purpose.

You could set hp totals to 20 the only effect that would have is in the length of game... A casual player might rage super hard if they lose on turn 3-4 though, and so for our sanity the extra armor is a nice thing.. but absolutely unnecessary.

Brawl is where it is for development purpose.. -- secondly to give back to players who participate.. testing ground in a sense.
