Dr. Boom Overpowered?

Multiplayer Discussion
1

Hi, I have returned to Hearthstone after an 8 year break, and I booted up the old secret paladin deck (for some reason Mysterious Challenger is now a 5 mana 5/5 though which ruins the perfect curve) and I was excited to see and play my old friend Dr. Boom or Dr. 7 as he used to be called. The thing is though, the only time I got to play it it wasn’t even close to being good enough. What happened? This card used to be an absolute terror and menace to the game. A war golem with 2 additional boom bots was insane. But now it seems like Dr. Boom is no longer any good at all? What happened?

Almost a decade of power creep.

When did you return again?

Seriously though yeah wild is wild. Most old powerful cards are now garbage unless they happen to synergize with the new ones

Oh yeah I didn’t even notice who I was replying to the first time. You post about Wild all the time so what is this pretending lol

8 year break, what, you got the hyperbolic time chamber from dbz over there or something?

Dont just come back after an 8 year break and ask what happened. Theres not enough space on the forums to write an essay that long. 8 years? Really?

easy enough to just say a terrible dev team is in charge and the game has been turned into a shadow of its former self.

As someone who is going through this I think most player dissatisfaction comes from growing tired of the game over time for whatever reason. Blaming the game creators seems like a cheap, easy way to avoid responsibility for one’s own feelings and actions

I just thought it was weird that the best 7 drop that could basically never be beat (unless the game jumped the shark) is now nearly useless. Same with Piloted Shredder…I thought they said they were never going to print a 4 drop as powerful as it again, but it seems like now if you don’t put down 12/12 stats or something on turn 4 it’s no longer good enough? What has happened?

I don’t get how people can expect to be thoroughly entertained by the same game for ten full years. If that happens it’s a miracle.
