The DH nerf seems about right.

A previous HSTD article was showing how the effectiveness of Window Shopper drops hard in the later turns. So delaying the mana reduction by a turn makes sense.

Would’ve made more sense to up the Cc of window shopper by one instead, allowing players to get a higher dust refund. But hey, this isn’t the blizzard of old anymore is it.

You’re talking about the 75%+ win rate paladin decks that they rolled into 75%+ win rate DH right?

Meta has been messed up a lot longer than 10 days.

But hey, first, everyone made Pally decks, then they made DH decks. Now after the next round of nerfs, people will make another deck.

I’ve been saying this for years, this is how they make $$$ now. There is no money in a stable meta.

But what about all those bots that arent having as much fun as me? Who will be watching after them? 🙁

Sure its fun for me right now, but I was lucky to have made a paladin deck before rotation, so I had a lot of the cards already.

I cant imagine this being very newbie friendly though. If they want to win, they make Paladin, or they suffer until a patch. Once the patch comes out, the deck they made could be rendered useless…

I just cant understand how such a complete lack of set testing continues to happen to this day on Hearthstone. Players shouldnt be the beta testers for sets

I’ve been spending the day hand buffing my Leeroy till he’s 12/8, then using shroomscavate to basically take my opponent down in one turn.

I’m at mid diamond after playing for 4 hours casually… that’s how hearthstone is suppose to work right?

Most powerful card in the set by far. Lets you clear boards while going to face with frost.

Round one nerf target

Totally agree with this article. Unfortunately the only outrage about this will be coming from this article and nowhere else.

The corridor sleeper was a “let’s see how much they bitch about it” experiment. Nobody will complain, then it’ll slowly get worse and worse. One day the entire set will be 2 weeks exclusive to pre purchasers, mark my words.

Hearthstone died when they started doing things like shaking up the meta constantly to keep people buying packs to get all the cards, mini sets, new game modes that were DOA and now this…

Activision was garbage and Microsoft has a proven track record of taking good franchises and destroying them (gears, halo, Diablo 4, Bethesda etc).

So people spend time/money making cards and decks. Then after they’ve done that, they nerf the cards and make a different set strong, so that they player base feel they need to spend time and money getting those cards, then they nerf the cards and make a different set strong, so the player base feel they need to spend time and money getting those cards, then they nerf the cards and make a different set strong…

Blizzard are a bunch of thieves now. This game is a gacha joke masquerading as a strategy card game.

Welcome your new Druid overlords.

Long game cue from nest? Check
MORE mana ramp? Check
Access to another neutral board clear? Check
Free taunt dragons? Check…

Ugh.

3.2\5 is low. This card curves amazingly for your first two turns. Expect to see this in Druid aggro for a long time

Unfortunately it is Microsoft that is the problem…

The last few years MS has been killing off its best franchises (Ori, Gears of War, etc) and all the other franchises are being turned into F2P/Live Service games.

I honestly think that’s why they made Diablo 4 the way they did, to appease their new future masters… Its roughly around the same time that Hearthstone started nerf/buffing the heck out of everything as well…

Totally agree. At this point these nerfs feel predatory. Blizzard HAD to know the effect it was going to have on decks, and all the cards people would make to work with Yogg, which drives players to spend more money to get more dust.

They either suck hardcore at making a card game, or are literally they are constantly need/buffing cards to keep people spending money.

Based on the live service, battle pass garbage blizzard makes now, I’m gonna say it’s the latter.

It’s just sad that after 10 years, a game I’ve played since Alpha is just a sad gacha style game now.

RIP Hearthstone

R.I.P Blizzard. You will be sorely missed (D2 and SC era Blizzard).

Everything Microsoft touches turns into pure trash gaming wise. The way they Microsoftified Diablo 4 right before Microsoft bought them is a perfect example.

Halo Franchise – Dead
Gears of War Franchise – Dead
Forza Motorsport – micro transaction garbage now
Diablo 4 – live service trash
Redfall – lol
Bethesda – 🙁
Starfield – not as good as a 8 year old game

The title of this article got pretty old pretty quick eh lol

I feel like I’m getting whiplash from all these changes. It sucks that blizzard only refunds the affected cards, not caring about the other 2000 dust people spent to build all the non legendary cards for the deck.

The last year or so feels like the public has been beta testing all the sets for blizzard but now it’s getting ridiculous.

At this point, I think blizzard does this so you are CONSTANTLY forced to spend dust on new cards just for your decks to stay relevant. They don’t make enough off the set release cycle, so they just make sure to blow up the meta twice a month in between sets to keep people spending.

Looks at fixed now. Just a small oopsie from blizzard

Looks like they loaded the wrong data into their servers…

I downloaded the patch and got a notification about all the changes to the dormant wild seed cards… which you can currently dust for full value right now by the way.

The new changes are nowhere to be seen

A neutral titan with 3 solid abilities and an easy way to reduce the cost across all classes?
I can’t wait to be seeing this card in EVERY SINGLE DECK for the next two years…
Yay….

If you ignore the immediate immune attack, sure this card isn’t that great. But you don’t seem to mention its strongest ability, no wonder you don’t like the card.

And devs hate the warrior class? They literally have one of the top three decks in the format at the moment…. How’s that hate?

Excellent Titan.
6CC you get a 6/6 Rush/Immune + weapon draw.
Excellent value there.
The other two abilities make your hero tankier and more aggressive. I do not see a Warrior deck that this doesn’t go into.

I promise everyone you will always be satisfied playing this card on then 6. Always.

The 5 or more is key to this. Allows you to make sure you only rez the good stuff. Allows for flexible deck building and maximizing this cards power. Will be used for years to come.
