Thanks for the player agency

You can autocomplete warrior and still get legend. Thank you for the great player agency, you useless jokes.

Not gonna lie.

Blizzard kinda deserve that one.

It’s almost as if nerfing a bunch of things people are whining about doesn’t automatically fix the game.

The whole balance philosophy seems to be placate the pitchfork wielders who will inevitably complain about something else afterwards, because they need to be SEEN to be taking on board feedback. Ultimately these people who complain but carry on playing anyway are hopeless addicts who are keeping the game alive. Starting to think that’s it for me. It’s been a good run. But I can’t take anything that’s been done in the last 6 months seriously. I’ve already not played for a few weeks and I don’t really miss it.

I’d bet they know how to do it right, but it they do it right in one go, they’d lost their jobs.

This is life.

I mean when you nerf everything have you really nerfed anything?

The problem is not so much the cost of cards… it just theres no other slightly less powerful cards to replace them or slightly less powerful synergy efficiencies that are going to rise up after a few cost increase nerfs. Its clear ‘new’ decks are being held down by the fact there are no ‘new’ cards to put in the ‘new’ decks.

Mabye they need to reverse course and completely forget nerfing stuff and just embrace the powercreep and do buffs only.

I would have been fine if they actually nerfed the rest of the stuff that’s the issue.

They totally missed the point with warrior while simultaneously removing the only effective counter to the strategy.

Let’s start with the fact that TNT should be hand, deck, OR battlefield and add an extra spell.

And brann should have never, ever been printed. Never. It’s not a shock that it’s causing issues in standard and I think people pretty much knew it would before release.

^ This.

Meanwhile people who are actually enjoying the game and therefore NOT posting on the forums risk having the deck they’ve played for years nuked from orbit, all in a useless attempt to satisfy people who don’t even like the game and are very unlikely to like it afterwards.

This is someone who’s FINALLY starting to think. Nerfs are NOT the solution for the pitchfork wielders’ problem. Nerfs are a solution for a completely different problem, one that the people who call loudest for nerfs do not care about. You’ve got a huge population of online advocates who are advocating for actions that do not help themselves and that hurt other people.

294 The Five Laws Of Stupidity

Pitchforkers are the most dangerous element of the Hearthstone community, and the most likely to lead to its demise. (They’re also the most likely to have me on ignore.)

“Please stop burning the food” doesn’t mean “give people raw, uncooked items.”

The opposite is also true.

However, this is how actiblizz design philosophy currently works.
