Blizzard, god, somebody PLEASE help I was so excited when I heard you guys were actually going to look at wild and try to balance some of the chaos in it but when I saw the results I was so depressed because LINECRACKER DRUID HAS BEEN IN THE GAME FOR YEARS NOW and no one has batted an eye at it… that deck is so easy to play and literally makes it impossible for you to win while the a-hole on the other side gets thousands of armor an could do literally nothing else, laugh at me and win, Ive seen it more and more since the new expansion, it’s very toxic… please stop just cranking out content and put at least some of your manpower to fix the mode that is home to your guy’s ENTIRE LEGACY. Ive loved this game and all its breath-taking mechanics/designs for 7 years but this kind of stuff makes me scratch my head in disbelief
I didn’t notice this dangerous combo until just recently. It may have gone under the radar or just became revelent with recent deck changes.
For anyone not familar with this combo, it works like this: Druid waits until he has enough mana, usually padding out his time with armor cards and Spreading Plague. Once he has that and both Linecracker, Earthen Scales, and BEEEEES!!! in his hand, he does the following:
1: Play Linecracker.
2: Play BEEEES!!! on Linecracker; Linecracker kills every bee thrown at him, and his overkill effect lets him grow stronger like crazy, putting his attack in the hundreds.
3: Play Earthen Scales, and gain 200-300+ armor in one turn.
Now Linecracker becomes dangerous on its own, but you usually can kill it before it does anything. Its the fact your opponent now has hundreds of armor now. Most druids I’ve seen with this combo use Mecha’thun, but therotically, a druid can sit there and do nothing, if just hit end turn and still win. Because you’ll never get his armor down before fatigue kills you first.
Now there are several things they could do: Nerf Linecracker, nerf earthen scales, nerf bees, or remove one or more from wild altogether. They could also put a hard cap on how much armor you can have at a time.
I think the best option though is to nerf bees by changing its effect to this: “Target AN ENEMY minion…” That way, Linecracker can’t get its free hundreds of attack in one go and earthen scales loses it effectiveness in this combo.
The deck is so slow these days it’s hardly a threat
