See new cards and upcoming balance changes in action before we officially step Into the Emerald Dream!
Great balance patch. Alot of problematic cards are finally changed.
Overall good patch. Sadly the infestor one was not needed since all the deathrattle enablers are rotating. They overkilled zerg.
And why did banshee get hit? It was already the worst drop from the pool.
Anyways, cant argue, they did a good job on this one. Seems that they are starting to listen to the community and that’s a positive by itself.
I usually don’t comment on these but all the hype has been killed with how limiting the brawl format is. Most of my ideas won’t work, and the news almost felt like a rug pull for buying preorders (which included tickets). I hope there will be a change before it goes live but I’m guessing there won’t be. Sad to see such a successful format yet again go to waste.
i noticed several changes were asked by players a lot
the reborn removal from zillax
infestor not buffing health
removing lifesteal from painter virtue was asked a lot too
domino effect nerf surprised me
Because most are short sighted.
Infestor nerf killed the tribe completely, not a balance move for sure. A couple of +1/+1 wouldnt be a problem, since you wont be able to trigger the deatherattles anymore.
Banshee nerf was out of the blue.
Rest are justified and expected… even the domino effect. Maybe it was a bit late aswell. Pre starcraft it was ridiculous in handlock.
Excellent patch, I’ll be able to play in peace again!
Strange that protoss was untouched
Great patch, with most problematic cards adressed. Wierd to see Domino Effect there. Wouldn’t mind Artanis also be bumped to 8, I have a feeling we’ll be facing a lot of Protoss decks for the reminder of the Year of the Pegasus.
Excellent patch all the problems cards are adresses not one complaint i agree with everything.
Zerg just giving attack makes alot of sense thematically as insects tend to swarm u with numbers they are not usualy tanky.
I am curious to see how the unnerfs will affect the meta its gona be very fun to see how the meta changes a nice meta shakeup before new expansion
I can agree with most of these changes, but don’t understand why nerf Painters Virtue now when Paladin is basically dead… With the Terran nerfs they killed it even more because that strategy was useless for him only… and with these changes, it will become even worse. Core card rotations will also take place as far as I know so Handbuff will be dead anyway really soon…
Isn`t the nerf timing terrible? They are basically screwing over who are practising for Masters Qualifiers. The tournament will take part when the nerf and the buffs are live and the new expansion is not out. Basically cards that are buffed for wild will take part in tournament. So the whole decks will be useless and people need to figure out new decks in 3 days … I would appreciate a reply from an employee maybe i am wrong.
lol they completely deleted OTK lynessa. Did they see me playing it today? Nobody else is playing it.
PS they revived all netdecks of 2023-2024. It’s going to be a *fest temporarily.
It’s needed. They want to kill all StarCraft decks. Not only DK is zerg.
Patch is as if someone plays Druid. The ramp druid is completely revived and overpowered. It will probably totally dominate the last days of pre-rotation.
If that was their intention, they did a pretty good job. Cant consider it a balance move though.
Keep in mind that they promoted and supported this miniset like no other. Killing cards should always be the last choice. Especially when they printed them less than 2 months ago.
why is strange protoss with only 1 deck above tier3 wasnt nerfed ?
protto rogue is the only one barely decent protoss deck
They may only want to gut the fast StarCraft netdecks. Mages didn’t have a chance to see theirs overpowered. Groovy Cat rotates so the fastest protoss deck is dead.
I still don’t know why change the hero cards specially Raynor, he’s never been an issue to me and rarely people at high levels of play drop him on 7 to me the most powerfull terran cards are the launch cost decreasing ones that cost 1 mana, have great effects for that cost and decrease by 2 the ship launch. that’s why paladin doesn’t compare to the other 2 their class specific card costs 3 mana compared to the other two that cost 1
They nerfed the pieces of terran so generally terran is massively nerfed. It will probably not see play ever again.
Pre-rotation some ~2023 netdecks become alive so people would be playing those a lot for a few days anyway.
