Vicious Voidscale
- Old: Battlecry and Deathrattle: Get a Void Soul.
- New: Deathrattle: Get a Void Soul
That’s it. Those are all the changes. This team is done. I have no other words.

I’ll say it again, that’s not a change, they just reversed the buff
It’s obvious they want it to work with felhunter or they’d just remove the DR instead, which would have nerfed getting another void soul by giving it reborn

Nothing about any of this makes sense. “Continue monitoring the meta”…seriously? The meta isn’t changing.

Which means the devs staring blankly at the game, nodding n saying “Mhmm mhmm, yep, that’s a meta.”

Basically they are confessing they knew the meta would end exactly like this and done this change Just as placebo to reduce DH numbers on ladder.
People who think this is incompetence now are Just delusional.

I already called the do nothing change, of course they weren’t going to touch the weapon because 1-2 less void souls is enough right?
They working hard lol , what a disgusting company
The lone guy left on the programming team must have been working double overtime over the weekend for that change to make it in. Lets all celebrate his hard work by playing something else.

8 characters required ok. 
LOOOLL oh my heavens…
Apparently they like DH as it is…meaning there are probably devs who are playing it nonstop. They can’t hurt their pets. We have learned this from paladin over the years.
Where is Mage and Priest buff ?

idc what you say this is a big change. One nerf can completely change the dynamic of the match especially early gameplay change.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again, Blizz needs to stop throwing out buffs unless the card is seeing ZERO play. They just need to nerf a few cards every week and everything will find it’s place. It won’t be instant, but it’s better than one balance patch every other month.

This patch almost never has balance changes in it, as it’s a BG content patch. I’m not surprised 1 change is all they did.
In 2 weeks or so is the next actual balance window, then after that, class sets, then the last balance window of the expansion after that.
For now, welcome back our shaman overlords.

And it was playable before they buffed it and i have a feeling will be at a good power level after this, i am worried that my favorite class is going to be played more after this patch and will lead to a change which it might need, like i am okay with a neef to rogues two package but buff the other package olease if ya do nerf it

They need to nerf Jade Guardians. Such an obvious overpushed card power level-wise

The cancer that is aggro hunter continues. The entire concept of anything killing before round 7 should be deleted in this game. If they don’t understand why they need a different job.

Void souls is a current expansion thing so at the very best they would only revert all the buffs, but obviously they did not do that.
For what it’s worth, between 3 drop and weapon, the 3 drop is probably more powerful in the long run. While the weapon is strong early on, the 3 drop gets better and better late game as void souls upgrade because for the same 4 mana, the 3 drop lets you summon a big demon and also a taunt to protect it, whereas the weapon helps with burn/removal… in a class/deck that can already do plenty, both in the void soul deck and in other DH decks (past or present)

A mole has been whacked. Now we need to wait another month or so for the next mole to get whacked. But the people don’t want whack a mole they want nuke the entire mole population.

That’s probably right. All the resources went to implementing the BG season. Still, if all they were doing was reverting the buff, you’d think they could have done it sooner. It seemed clear something needed to be done.
