Blizz knew how broken galakrond shaman was before launch. We’re talking Blizzard here, not some indie dev. I guess what I was trying to say in my last post was that Blizzard wants controversy in the beginning of a new expansion because that’s when they make the most profit but then, they want to refine the meta as soon as possible because that keeps the community happy and playing. The beginning of an expansion is when people are buying packs and crafting cards the most, so having an arch villain archetype is beneficial in that regards; everyone’s scrambling to create the shaman killer deck. But, this also pushes meta refinement because people are trying different heroes and cards that they wouldn’t normally use if the meta was balanced. In the beginning it’s “spicy”, which maximizes profits for casuals and new players but then they want it to level out pretty quickly for veteran players, pros, streamers, try hardS, etc, so that there main fan base continues to play. It’s a fine line they walk but it maximizes profits. Also, there working on the next expansion and testing for that too, which only works on a settled meta.

Idk what everyone’s complaining about. This happens every expansion. If it wasn’t shaman, it’d be another class, prob rogue. Blizzard does this on purpose obviously. It keeps things spicy, keeps the community buzzing and it also accelerates the community building counter decks which pushes the meta refinement faster. It’s all about refining the meta as fast as possible, at least from the devs standpoint. That’s just my opinion anyway.
