So this class can go away for good, what a miserable game to play when every deck is a warrior.

not all decks are warriors, but as predicted, 8 out of 10 games are vs reno something. And Brann. There is no counter.

I don’t mind playing against reno decks, except Warrior.
Warriors just have too much of everything even with Reno in deck, removals, card draw, survival, board clears, later game board presence, etc.
They should add a new card that destroys armor, or change brann somehow.

Change the topic to ‘Plz delete brann’ and it’ll gain traction
Brann needs to be ‘while this unit is on the battlefield’ instead of a permanent game effect again.

I echo some of the sentiments already said.
Reno is not that bad compared to Brann.
I’m starting to think Brann is a crutch. The rest of the warrior kit is actually not that crazy. Brann just buffs the warrior up so much for the rest of the game that it makes up for it and then some. I mean, Brann’s own body is the opposite of Bolderfist Ogre (terrible stats for the cost), but his effect is just so good that warriors often unironically try hard to play him on 6 (or 4 or whatever last rotation when they can dredge+discount)
Not saying other class HL legendaries are bad, but Brann is just on another level compared to the rest. HL/Brann warrior is also just tiers above any other kind of warrior deck right now
This makes it difficult to find a way to nerf Brann without breaking warrior.
Finally, warriors are back in full swing
I love the meta
Class is fine, just Team 5 decided to give it the regarded combination of cards. Brann would be fine on it’s own (ok, it should have been deleted but go with me on this), Boomboss would be fine on it’s own, Dr. Boom would be fine on it’s own. But all of those together, mixed with Reno, Excavate, Zilliax, Ignis and near infinite amount of armor gain and removal creates one of the most obnoxious game experiences in standard.
So the fact that not only was Team 5 unable to nerf any substantial card of Warrior package but at the same time made a sidegrade to Reno is laughable. Like, I wasn’t expecting anything good from the patch but even on that front they let me down (read: they made the meta worse).

bran was a mistake people attack to reno all the time but only higlander deck with this much power is the warrior because of the bran.
I wonder what team 5 really expected with those nerf.
Isn’t it crazy the way the people who are supposed to be designing all of this never seem to have any foresight whatsoever? To me it’s analogous to being an engineer who had no idea that that bridge was going to collapse when they planned it
The funniest part about all of this is that if they stopped blocking people on social media who point these problems out to them, they might have known. More self-affirming to only let the cheerleaders and sycophants have a say in how well you’re doing
My friend they are 8-5 workers not players you end me might be much better HS player than any of them. high ranked players probably play 3 times more hearthstone than them.
To be fair if I would work for blizzard I would also not play any games I develop after the job finished. Because I would feel like I am doing overtime.
Also I doubt that any of those guys are specialized in statistics. statistics is a serious business I wonder if they have a statistic specialist among the team just to collect data analyze and balance the game.
Because of warrior I am now quitting hearthstone. good job blizzard you dont know how to make a fun game.

Months ago I went on Twitter and told the lead balance dev that double battlecries in perpetuity is a terrible idea
I don’t expect the guy to give a damn what I think. I don’t think they care what any of us think. This is just a job to them and probably a stepping stone to something better in their minds. But if a scrub barely above average player like me can spot an obviously broken mechanic, why can’t they?
Now, if you don’t dirty rat Brann, there’s no point in continuing. Where is the player agency in that? Where is the fun and interactive in that? I guess if you’re running a super fast deck that can win by turn five it’s not a problem for you but for everyone else, what do we even doing here?
Activision Blizzard is absolutely brilliant at developing of awesome video games.
Unfortunately, Activision Blizzard is also absolutely brilliant at destroying them out of pure greed.

Yet people act like it’s new information. Was the ruining of Overwatch, Diablol Immortlol, this game, Warlords of Draenor, and Warcraft Reforged really that long ago?
Guys…guys…
Blizzard knows what they doing!
The only problem is that they doesn’t think it through before implementing these changes…
I can’t imagine who thought it was a good idea not to be able to counter a card what makes twice battlecry to everything…
Maybe one of the devs can’t accept that he always loses against DK with HL Warri and with 1 changes delete all decks from the meta…
