Nerf Shaman please

Can you please nerf Shaman? It has been OP for patches. Why did you give a certain class so many flexible cards which can do low cost clean while maintaining the board and can do burst attack by turn 6 ? It is nonsense! Always a frustrating matching experience when versus Shaman…

…they ll nerf fizzle

not zerg
not terran

just fizzle

another 3-4 weeks of this madness :DDD the fizzle infinite was bad, but theres sooooooooooooo much more that shouldve been looked at.

The nerf to Fizzle won’t stop Terran Shaman. There are multiple Terran Shaman decks that don’t run Fizzle.

If anything, Terran Shaman might get better because the Terran Shaman with Fizzle was doing well against the Swarm Terran Shaman decks without Fizzle. So this is actually a small buff to the more aggressive Shaman decks lol

Why? only 8/10 matches are against it.

They need to reduce the cost reduction for launching the spaceships. The other spaceships sucked because it cost 5 mana to launch them… turns out launching them for 0 is pretty good.

Can’t agree more with you. Idiot balance patch. Shaman doesn’t even need the Fizzle to win. Several core cards need to be nerfed, but these genius just ignore it.

It adds a better percentage to control matchup though since the Fizzle version would leverage that as its ace in the hole against control. It was also a major deciding factor in the mirror. Whoever had it or played it first generally won.

Fizzle wasn’t changed JUST for Shaman though. It was applicable to a couple other decks as well.

This meta is also so close that player skill can overcome any perceived power ranking shaman currently might have. My win rate playing Location Warlock against shaman is a ridiculous 76% out of 33 games. I posted in another thread where i built an excavate Warlock deck with spellburst to finish quests and was playing it in D10-D5 and 6-0 against every shaman. They literally had no answer to disrupt the loss and the careful board management i was playing. From a deck that was supposed to be a joke.

I’m thoroughly unconvinced Shaman is the meta tyrant players make it out to be. ALL the top decks are equally good IMO and the pilots of the decks are a big factor in this meta.

Im finding this for decks right now too… the starcraft stuff isnt really that powerful… I’m having fun with a bunch of various bad decks and nothing is destroying them like you would expect if these decks were as oppressive as everyone hints they are.

Yeah. I wouldn’t say that excavate deck is some kind of meta breaker but players might want to revisit some older decks now that board based is how most decks are now. Could be some room to exploit.

The Devs don’t understand Fizzle because they are worthless at rational thinking. The studio is almost exclusively artists who have no clue what balancing means.

Don’t you remember that they nerfed Quasar when it wasn’t even good because it “hurt the feelings of players”?

The studio needs to keep the artists because they make it pretty, but hire just as many rational coders.

Had the quests to summon/destroy draenei. And of course nozdormu.
And it a random deck together of a bunch of Draenei with a warlock.
Killed 2 Zerg dk with it and a Terran shaman. It was fun
