In the previous patch, blizzard nerfed Kalimos so that you could no longer shudderwock your opponents face with it (they annoying describe this as a bug fix when they previously confirmed it wasnt a bug and was working as intended).
Why then can shamans shudderwock they raynor so their starship triggers 3 times doing 20-30 damage to face?
Both battlecrys indirectly do damage to your opponent directly, Kalimos through casting a spell and Raynor through launching his starship.
Because playing Shudderblock + Raynor makes shamans feel powerful and thus, it fuels their addiction.
I know, I know, all they have to do is change Shudderblock to only affect minions, but hey, dopamine baby.
Jim reynors battlecry doesnt deal any damage.
Jim Reynor only summons starships.
Starships may deal damage when launched.
The change would have to be clause made to Reynor
Literally make it not apply to hero cards. problem solved.
For the same reason they rotated malygos, a supposed broken thing that was shading the new cards and right after they printed sif. Make room for the “new” cards so people will keep giving money.
I think its fine the way it is. Shaman gets shafted every single time they have good playable cards and i get it. I was around for the original shamanstone and the subsequent Genn Shamanstone.(I played odd shaman focusing on spell damage, i lost a lot lol)
Just make better decks tailored to the meta. Copy and paste will only get you so far.
