I have to conclude Blizzard has no clue how to balance this game. There was a problem with how Zerglings got hand buffs with Hunter so now they’ve decided to nerf Infestor to oblivion so that the deck is now effectively unusable (from +1+1 to all minions for the rest of the game to +1 attack for the rest of the game).
I came back to Hearthstone 2 months ago but am considering just quitting for good cause I don’t see reason in what the state of the game is right now nor what the next patches are proposing.
I’ve played since 2013 (or whenever Hearthstone came out) so I’ve seen all metas develop. This has to be the worst and most toxic meta the game has ever game. Overpowered decks across the board.
Infestor in Hunter?? They nerfed Zergling for Handbuff Hunter
Perhaps you have no clue, they didn’t balance for a while to let the StarCraft decks shine. Then they want the new expansion and rotation to not be overshadowed by older cards (including Bob and Zilliax) so they are mass nerfing them.
I’m talking about Death Knight Infestor. It’s really weird how you reacted to my post. Maybe you’re hurt cause you’re abusing these decks in the first place.
Well well, it was clearly okay for them to play 10/10 worth of stats for a 1 mana zergling, and having 6/5 infestors reborn as 6/4s, and the turn 7 kerrigan hero just stealing all the momentum back and conjuring two impossibly large zerg queens from thin air. That was ‘funny’.
Well now they get rekt. Screw their zerg nonsense, it will not ruin emerald dream and we will finally have a lower powered game.
It’s not StarCraft anymore. I’d rather they deleted all StarCraft decks. The only class that wasn’t playing StarCraft much is mage and they probably should if they used Mes’Adune the Fractured.
They were zergs…zergs were not meant to be beefy creatures. They were the quintessential glass cannons or swarmlings that would overwhelm you. Having them get health buffed in HS made them too sticky and too good at trading when necessary, so reducing the health buff makes sense.
The lower powered game won’t be because of the new set, which has many overtuned cards in it like all the sets blizzard releases since the powercreep race began like 9 years ago. The only reason why the game will very likelly be in a lower power level state for a couple months is because we are at the start of the rotation year and less busted cards are available to play, so decks at this time of the year tend to be a little less powerful because of the smaller pool of cards available.
But give it just one mini-set plus the middle of the years’ expansion and we will all be in hell again lol…
I always thought zerg was possibly the least powerful of all the factions. I think zerg dk is probably one of the most overrated decks in hearthstone history but I wont miss any of it one bit. The starcraft cards were poorly conceived and incredibly boring
With that said are there any cards anyone is hoping to open for the pre-release tomorrow. I think nightmare lord xavius is going to be a fun neutral legendary and I think renferal will be pretty fun too but not competitive enough.
