The new balance changes do little to fix the major problems impacting Standard.
Sure, the cards that got nerfed needed to be nerfed, but the reality is that the decks that used the nerf cards are going to continue to flourish.
Not nearly enough was done to fix Standard because the real problem is that so many current archetypes are not fun to play against because their mechanics are so broken and they are not very interactive decks to play against.
Regardless if an archetype, which I am about mention, is currently among to top decks, who wants to to play against decks like Quest Priest, Big Druid, Deathrattle Druid, or any deck that abuses Sire Densthrius? What is fun about playing constructed with so much powercreep, bad balance, and brokenness?
No wonder the continued poor design of new sets have driven so many players to play BGâs, and no wonder that the company felt a need to monetize the Battlepass.
The devs are too out of touch with what makes HS a better game to play, as they struggle to create ways to get players to spend more money on the game, and latest fixes demonstrates this.
WoW, went down a similar path after WotLK, and I waited nearly 8 years for them to fix major issues that had been introduced, which made the game no longer fun me. The problems just became compounded over time, until I felt compelled to quit WoW for good. Itâs sad to see HS making similar mistakes.
