Incorrect creature stats calculation after spell

Good afternoon!

Today I’ve noticed that if some spell or creature battlecry reduce stats of another creature (-X/-X mechanic) then resulting stats can be less than 0.

Example/prerequisites:
Creature 1/1 on board. Spell gives this creature -3/-0 (-3 to attack). Then another spell give same creature on the board +5/+5 (like Izera nightmare).

Result:
Final stats of creature equals 3/6.

Expected result:
Final stats are 5/6, because attack/defense can’t be less than 0.

Is this a bug or a feature? :smiley:

Attack can be less than zero.

The game will display the attack as zero, and in combat it will be treated as zero, but internally it does keep track of the negative number.

1-3+5=3, so far maths are mathing
It’s a take to make it work like that but as far as I’m aware, this has been a conistent behavior for a long time now
