Can we nerf boomboss already

im sick of seeing highlander and brann, just a slap a once per game clause on boomboss like harth stonebrew and you can bring it back to their own deck instead of opponent, or make it destroy a random card in either field, hand, or deck, not and, or it can destroy other tnts, or make it 10 mana, or make brann a 11 mana card

The reason warrior is disgusting like that is that it canā€™t help it but be like that; it has practically no threats and only defense until very late in the game; then because the Devs donā€™t want it to go forever especially in mirrors: they just make it extremely explosive very late so at least itā€™s over fast; the defense against them is usually to be faster than them; other times the defense is more ā€œcomboā€ or ā€œsmartā€ based but itā€™s generally rare or at least not smart to target warriors because they donā€™t have a 40% play rate.

Them ramping mana this patch might be hopeful actually; they go faster into their late cards but that also means it can give the Devs an excuse to nerf their late cards; itā€™s not reasonable to have an extremely powerful bomb package if they get that package very early on top (for example).

But in general the class might have to be redesigned; e.g. remove its extremely powerful defensive character; make it more of an ā€œattack face without taking much damage if you attack minionsā€ class or whatever

Nerf it so that the bombs should explode ANY card in the deck, including the bombs themselves.

Iā€™m beginning to believe it should randomly affect either player when drawn so there is a possibility of backfire.

thats not really an excuse to keep a miserable gameplay pattern, nor is that even an argument either because they can still excavate, which im not asking to remove, or tendrils, which is also a really good because the 10 drop spells are really good now, they still have access to odin, which is still strong, because they can ramp still, they have access to ignis as well. they have more then enough late game tools to play with, along with enough removal to get to those points regardless of it being highlander

Not sure you read the text you replied to because I ended up saying the class might have to be redesigned (PS I also find it obnoxious (I was oppressed when I was very new since I was only playing a mid-range paladin a ~year ago)).

But itā€™s subjective in any case. E.g. some people like playing a very slow deck; also you are not defenseless at all against them; you can at least target them (by playing a deck that is very good against them).

it does, tendrils and excavate are really gross and its the exact same play pattern as boomboss, tendrils cant explode you like it used to but still throws out a bunch of water elementals that are very threatening, azerite ox extremely powerful in swinging the game, both of these constantly fill the board with moderately to extremely dangerous minions, but you know what those dont do compared to boomboss, prevent me from playing the game, much like reno does but i digress.
it also doesnt matter if i can target them when they have three brawls and tons of armor generation with reno and ramp, nor am i even saying these are the problems, its only this interaction with boomboss that is extremely miserable regardless of class or win rate, much like doomkin but i digress again, and boomboss has always been a problem because of this, thats why they changed to opponents deck because they would gaslight and blow up your entire deck, but now its back again because of druid

Boomboss canā€™t leave until highlander/reno rotates out, itā€™s my favorite thing to counter other highlanders with it.

I havenā€™t even SEEN a boomboss in weeks. I donā€™t think turn 8 even exists anymore. We druids kind of deleted that from the game.

You did nothing. Standard is filled with fast aggro decks so the druids or warrriors too only survive because they ramp mana.

PS I will never get people fixated to 1 class considering it ā€œtheir classā€; itā€™s the Devsā€™ class; design it first to call it yours.

You take things WAY too literally. I defy you to make even ONE single post where youā€™re trying to be non-serious, joking, and/or just generally having ANY personality whatsoever.

QED.

Nice evading the subject and going on a typical personal attack. The meta is not fast because druids exist. The meta is fast because people are farming mages.

And in todayā€™s episode of ā€˜so blizzard did the once per game rule. I guess I will insist on them giving it to everything that beats meā€™.

When will people realise that you canā€™t fix the game this way. You will complain about something else, and everyone who didnā€™t have a problem with it is now down one option.

In this particular post:

I was joking. Literally nothing in that post was even REMOTELY serious. Note how nobody else has commented to take my statement there seriously in an unironic manner. In fact, nobody else has even commented on it AT ALL. Nobody, except for you, took anything I said in any context whatsoever.

YOU are the problem because YOU donā€™t understand people. And thatā€™s saying something coming from me - I have emotional blunting and I still understand humanity better in this context.

Leave me alone.

EDIT: in fact, WHY are you commenting against ME, when OTHER people have said things in this nature in this very thread?

Do you take those statements equally literally to mine? Do you AGREE with those other posts then?

Just stop talking to me. Literally. Itā€™s beyond petty now. Itā€™s personal and I will not stand for it. Leave me alone.

And donā€™t bother answering those questions. Iā€™m done with you and will never directly respond to you ever again. Yes, I know that will give you a ā€œfree passā€ to get the parting shot. Iā€™m done.

Or the joke is bad. I donā€™t get whatā€™s funny.
