the fixed the "playing vs the same player several times in a row " matchmaking issue months ago

65

Hunter is barely in any oppressive spot. Itā€™s better to address the larger problems than to kick a pile of dirt over.

66

Will this update also be aimed at fixing crashes on iOS, or is that to be expected on a future fix?

hot damn, i just pulled a gold 1 not long ago, so thatā€™s gunna be allot of dust stock up now

+2 attack, to all minion types.

Compared to:

+3 health to a single random minion.

That appears to me to say: ā€œYou know that Pyramad wasnā€™t ever played and was the most passed over hero in Battlegrounds? Well, we decided we didnā€™t want to change thatā€

No one will pick that. It is demonstrably terrible.

69

Told you so. Told you they wouldnā€™t nerf the quest/res Priest. Good times ahead for me, at least until we find out what is in the soon coming adventure.

70

And still nothing to deal with divine shield, poison murlocs with 50hp?

So a completely unbeatable build stays in the game.

Demons, can lose, beasts, can lose, mech can lose.

Divine shield, poison cannot lose once you get to the last 4, sure you might go out before hand, but that is true of every build it doesnā€™t justify an unbeatable build being in Battlegrounds.

71

Wow no nerf on the ridiculous Rez priestā€¦ amazingā€¦

Battlegrounds : Selfless Heroā€™s Deathrattle will now only affect minions that do not already have Divine Shield.

THANK YOU!!!

73

Please fix the animations. All the changes sound pretty good. I think next on the list would be taking a look at fallen watcher at 3 cost combined with AFK. Seems to be an unbeatable start if someone lands it.

74

The standard nerfs are reasonable imo.

I can get behind all these nerfs but one fear I do have is that Face Hunter will be to dominant, already now it performs extremly well and with its main competition being slowed down it should perform even better.

I was kinda hoping for a mana nerf on Convincing Infiltrator aswell to delay it another turn, allowing us to put more pressure on the Priest before his mana cheating starts.

Iā€™m surprised they nerfed Dragonqueen but I agree with it, tbh I called it already when the card was released that it shouldnt be able to generate itself.

76

I think these changes seem pretty good overall! Definitely happy to see most of these changes, seems to reduce power lvl a bit to give other decks a chance to not be blown out of the game. While I agree that res priest could use some tuning, Iā€™m curious what the folks crying out for changes to res priest would change; I canā€™t think of any specific cards I would nerf except maybe Muerte and even then I think thatā€™s a bit of a stretch

77

So these are the nerfs priest should of received:

Convincing Infiltrator from 5 mana to 6
HP from 6 to 5

Vargoth from 4 mana to 5

Mass resurrect from 9 mana to 16
Costs one less for each friendly minion that has died.

Mass hysteria from 5 mana to 6

Psychopomp from 4 mana to 5

Sandhoof from 5 mana to 7

Catrina from 8 mana to 9

And quest to be +3 +3 not the additional +3 heal, batter head coming in killing off 3 weak minions to then be healed back up to full and then some is just ridiculous

I wouldnā€™t expect all of these to be done but at least 3 of themā€¦

So basically you nerf some decks with good win rates that had good counters anyway.
And priest, which is a constant pest in ladder, will now be nearly unbeatable.

Fork Smorc;

And Fork Wuaaaooh;

Completely Disregarding 2 T1-T2 classes compared to nerfing forking Invokation of Frost of all THINGS.

I have had enough. These doods will never learn to fix everything in an equal way.

Double Check your sale coming from me next. It costs the same as Wisp.

I was just thinking today Toki needed this buff. I also think George the Fallen should be 3-cost HP. His win rate is bad and he might compete a bit better at 3-cost.

81

If you think things will stay the same once the nerfs ā€¦

well Iā€™ve seen enough nerfs to say otherwise.

Dwarven Sharpshooter 1 Mana 1/2 maybe?

Phase Stalker 2 Mana 2/2 or 3 Mana 2/3 maybe?

Priest Hunter Priest Hunter Priest Hunter Priest Hunter ladder coming soon Jan2020.

Can you also fix the bug of placing 4th in Battlegrounds and LOSING points?

83

hopefully never because every single change you made was horrible.
