I’m not agreeing with the nerfs, but at least Blizzard is keeping “true to vanilla”. Tigole and Furor absolutely hated Paladins with the same vitriolic hate that one would have towards somebody who killed their mom. They hated all hybrids, but hated Paladins the most.
It doesn’t surprise me in the least, that since they came back a few years or so ago, that they would dump on Paladins as much as they can. They started with Legion/BFA and continue to influence the decisions made against Paladins in classic.
Also, stealth nerfs were quite common back in the day, so seeing them do it again is no surprise, even if they alter the mechanics of the whole game, just to mess with one class.
