What really happened in the room for ideas.
Dev : Hey guys we haven’t looked at the shaman class yet. How we can make strong but not strong enough so it can be fair to all other classes.
Guy 1 : Well i suggest to look at what people hated the most in RoS and try not to make the same mistake twice ^^
Guy 2 : hmm ok , people hated the warrior since it had a lot of removals
Guy 1 : yes that’s actually true.
Dev : ok good , what else?
Guy 2 : They hated the Rogue too , because it had the shark that makes your battlecrys/combos casts twice , and they have to waste removals to get rid of it.
Dev : hmm interesting
Guy 2 : and also they hated the murloc shamans , since they spammed the board and finished their opponents with bloodlust , and overload shamans because of their crazy burts.
Dev : ok! thats enough! I have the perfect ideas now.
Dev : lets give the shaman, a lot of removals , shark effect but lets make it so it cant be targeted! and also lets keep the crazy burst with all of the minion spam but combine it together!. People will love it!
Guy 1 , Guy 2 : Those ideas are awesome
