Mage is really OP this patch, needs nerf ASAP

How supposed to adapt for a powerful 10 manas spells being consistently played twice in the turns 4-6?

This thing outrace aggro easily and don’t have enough time for any control prepare.

It is completely insane overpowered BS, unless they nerf extremely hard there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.

It’s still true, no matter how much you might hate hearing it: the ones in charge of this game don’t need your opinion. They don’t value your opinion. They only READ your opinion when someone like me argues with you and we start slinging mud, and even then, only insomuch as they try to decipher which one of us to throw in the corner for a time out.

If you are an expert on the business aspect of the gaming industry, that’s one thing. You have yet to prove you are, but I would acquiesce to someone with creds over someone without. And no, that’s not “appeal to authority” or whatever Wikipedia page you looked at yesterday. That’s literally how the world works.

I don’t need to be an architect to point out the Leaning Tower is leaning. But if we’re talking about FIXING it, then I probably SHOULD at least know a thing or two about proper foundation setting.

EDIT so as not to double post:

I’ve been destroying mages in the last 24 hours. 11 of my last 14 games against mage were wins. Overall, I’m only rocking a 53% win rate (currently Dia-4 I think) but I am CRUSHING mages. I run Druid, though.

See, that’s the part I was missing. As a druid, I’m wrecking them. But mages are basically just violating any other class. I wasn’t understanding that part of things when I made my initial post.

At first, I thought they would nerf the cost on the tourist but after playing it, I’m convinced that Conman is the problem and just changing it back would be more than enough.

It’s not even every class. Druid is able to beat them, shaman can, demon hunter can, pain lock can be teched to beat it, death knight can…

Pretty much half the classes can build something to beat big spell mage, which is why at top legend it’s playing rate has steadily been declining.

I still think Skyla will eat a nerf, but the deck just isn’t on the same level of most past meta tyrants. It’s too one dimensional.

When you become in charge of the game, then you can talk on behalf of them, until then you just replied a 2nd time to vomit narcissism.

You are wrong about every point. It is in no way a personal insult to say that Blizzard doesn’t need you, because they certainly do not. Believe it or not, you are not science incarnate and disagreeing with your dumb ideas probably makes someone pro-science. And it’s hilarious how pathetically you lash out when you’re triggered.

That’s what you do.

Oh, and by the way, it’s not just the dumber half of humanity that are animals, it is all of them.

I’m not the one who thinks the devs are incompetent. I’m fairly sure that’s what I quoted you saying in this very thread, as well as elsewhere when you claimed the game is rigged.

The enemy is too strong in that they rig every single move, yet they’re too weak in that their entire game is falling apart. Rather interesting contradiction, doncha think?

I appreciate the solidarity, but do exercise caution. I feel like you’re allowing yourself to get a tad too invested. Take a break to get some more iced tea, my guy.

He’s such a hypocrite though.

100% agreed, but this entire incident here is 100% my fault because - once again - I’ve been ignoring the fact I have him on ignore.

I’d hate to see someone else get actioned - even if just a slap on the wrist - just because I can’t help but peek at the hidden replies.

  1. It isn’t a “powerful 10 mana spell” in fact it is on the weaker side of the 10 mana spells.

  2. It does not “outrace aggro” .Minions trading randomly is as much of a boardclear as anything else that eliminates opponent minions.

  3. There isn’t anything YOU can do. People already made their way into making the deck not even tier 1.

If they didn’t have charge i could get on board with this. They do so this is just not correct. It’s probably THE most powerful 10 cost card in Standard right now. Arguably THE most powerful card overall with how it can be cheated into play.

Can we agree they have rush atleast?

That arguably makes it worse in some ways. Those who complain about luck being too much of a factor in games just hate tsunami all the more when it RNG’s 3:1 or better optimal target spread.

Basically, I would say “imagine” if Druids could pump out Eonar + Yoggy on turn 5, and how upset people would (rightfully) be… except we already DO that, very consistently. Very literally, it’s what is allowing us to beat BSM.

Mages and Druids are “fighting fire with fire” by dual-wielding flamethrowers. Everyone else has a dampened match book.

x4 3/6 freezing elemental really need to have charge/rush?

You forgot they will turn back the next turn with a 4/4 for only 4 manas?

It is not easy to deal with a massive board of 6 health minions so early in the game, much less twice with zero tempo loss.

What a card need to do for you guys agree is completely overbusted and need to be hard fixed? 1 mana win the game?

Absolutely does, or kill the minions aggro have and survive because the 6 health or outrace if all of them goes face.

There is a reason we see x6 mages in each 10 games instead some aggro deck, the mage deck complete shutdown any aggro possibility.

The DH pirate, a very strong aggro deck, completely vanish out of the existence in the day 1 of this mage deck, if this is not enough proof I don’t have idea what will be.

In all fairness, I don’t think mages have been legitimately good in their own right from their own package in quite a while. I could be wrong, but the only other “low legend” tier-1 deck I recall in recent memory they had, was elemental mage. And let’s be real: that didn’t count. It’s got less to do with the mage class than elemental shaman has shamans, or pirate DH had with DH. It’s a tribal with minimal spell support.

Granted, that doesn’t excuse them being busted, but also, they’re not even busted enough to beat the literal KINGS of bust (druids) so really, the only problem is they’re ubiquitous atm.

Eventually druids will come crawling back out in force and life will go on.

Warlock has a couple of such, and not even that is enough xDD

Party Fiend, Fracking, sounds pretty much “I win” to me xD

I didn’t say you insulted me, when you talk ON BEHALF OF Blizzard, I say you two vomit narcissism when you talk on behalf of Blizzard.

they had big spell mage with the hero power (Anub), then there was excavate and sif mage, followed by naga into elemental and now this. but yeah, mage really was lacking it for some time
